Nice enough for the price.
Pros:

Breakfast was nice and the staff were lovely, if seemingly a bit under staffed and having to work the restaurant and the bar and check in all at once.

Cons:

However the room was disappointing. It was not cleaned well, we found a previous guests underwear in the desk drawer (not reported to staff). Some parts (like above the sliding bathroom door) were thickly coated in dust showing rarely deeply cleaned. The door didn't shut on its own which may be a fire hazard too.

Centrally located in a beautiful town.
Pros:

The location is in the centre of town, very convenient. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

More information about parking (none available but local parking close-by). The bar was not particularly inviting. During a 3.30 am fire alarm there was no fire warden or staff onsite for over 20 minutes.

Positive stay.
Pros:

Basic but clean and good size room. Great location. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Old building which is great, character etc however the leaning floors, corridors and steps really disoriented us 🤣 our beds were on a real slant!!!
Would still stay there again however.

The hotel was in the centre of Abergavenny and a good location for a wedding at Sugar Loaf Barn
