My husband and I went for several days after a congress in Cambridge to Abergavenny, South Wales. Here we were welcomed very friendly and heartily although we were quite late in the evening. We enjoyed totally staying in wonderful rooms which were big, great, cosy and very clean. Great are the owners Hazel and Mike who are very nice and... More

My rather lukewarm rating of the Black Lion Guesthouse, Abergavenny, is due to the fact that with 4 stars, the presentation on their website and high room rates I had expected a better standard; what I got was nice but nothing out of the ordinary. During our 8 night stay there were too many glitches which should not happen in... More

My husband stayed here for just one night with our (adult ) son. This is his report: "We both found the room clean and comfortable with a spacious en-suite. What stood out, though, was the friendliness of the owners and their willingness to go well out of their way to help when we were stuck for transport. It seems, reading... More

We stayed three nights in the twin/en suite in June 2012 and it was a fantastic experience! Mike and Hazel were warm, welcoming hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our visit to Abergavenny was top-notch. The inn's location is only a few minutes walk to the thriving historic downtown (shops, restaurants, castle). Our room was clean, the bathroom... More

I only reserved a room at the Black Lion because I couldn't find anywhere else in Abergavenny that would let me check in at 1am and I'm so glad I did. Even at 1am, as soon as I parked my car outside the front entrance the owner was standing and waving cheerily at the front door, what a welcome! I... More

Our family was treated royally at the Black Lion Guest House in Abergavenny, which is a terrific launching point for hiking holidays in Wales. Mike and Hazel were gracious and charming hosts and bent over backwards in every way whether it was making delicious to-order breakfasts, huge brown-bag lunches for our all-day hiking trips, or schlepping us to and from...

A very warm welcome and nice comfortable rooms all rounded off by an excellent breakfast. Also very nicely posted my phone charger back to me at cost to themselves after i left it in the room. Excellent B+B. Look forward to returning.

We just ring on the door and the great, friendly daughter told us she had a familyroom available, but after a phonecall with mum, we could also book a twinroom. We needed 2 rooms because we we're traveling with our mums. The daughter was very helpfull and friendly, a great saleswoman in the future!!! The breakfast was fantastic!!!! The whole... More

I was able to book a room with a few weeks notice. We arrived to such a warm welcome from the owners. They were very flexible in terms of arrival times, and were prepared to let us in at 1am if needed! Although I had booked a twin room, I was bumped up to the family room with an en... More
