Best Western Ebbw Vale

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room could do with a revamp limited parking freindly staff"

Roadhouse LLanwenarth

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff , plan to stay next year"

Rabbit Hill Hut

10/10 Excellent

"Me, my partner and our two dogs stayed at rabbit hill hut for a week this July and honestly couldn't fault it. It had everything you could need. The Shepard's hut was perfect for the 4 of us to sleep, get washed and prepare light meals. The enclosed garden was fantastic for our lurcher and springer spaniel, they loved interacting with the horses and sheep in the next field, and we loved the extra seating area. Only met the host once in passing, he was really lovely to talk to about the area and offered us use of his other field to walk the dogs. Very private little hideaway in a fantastic location. Beautiful little pub down the road "Bridgend inn" would definitely recommend."
