House holiday rentals in Torfaen Principal Area

Private & peaceful location, beautiful surroundings and friendly hosts. Great experience overall👍

We spent a fabulous couple of days at The Forge. The place is as described - very comfortable and fully equipped for an escape to the countryside. We loved the thoughtful welcome basket of goodies too. Set in extensive grounds and with plenty of local walking, it was a chance to completely unwind and relax. A big thank you to Mel, the property manager, who provided full and clear information and was friendly and responsive to our queries.

Great stay for a big group! The house was perfect and had everything we needed Great location and rooms were tidy and spacious Would definitely recommend Cheers Rob

We stayed for two nights and felt relaxed and calm. From star gazing to playing garden croquet, we filled our time. The pool was great but be warned it’s cold! Once you’re in you are fine but it takes a few minutes to get submerged. What was really thoughtful, and much appreciated, was the home-made scones on arrival. Maureen and William were very sociable and very kind. We would love to visit again.

Such a lovely place to stay. We only booked for two nights and wish we had been there for longer. Lots of really interesting features (a suit of armour! A harp!) in a well stocked house. Very comfortable beds and sofas, beautiful views (we especially enjoyed all the bird nesting in the eaves), gorgeous interior, starry Dark Skies and nice hosts - what's not to love? Great parking. Wish we could have had a few more nights, to check out the pub just down the road.

Booked for a 50th birthday celebration and reunion. A great time was had by all! Lois was around to meet and greet and the items provided for breakfast was an unexpected but very welcome surprise! Thanks for a great stay Lois!

Spacious and comfortable house for our family of 6 during a rainy February half term. The main reason to rent this place was the pool and sauna which didn’t disappoint and was great for our kids. There is a builder’s merchant right next door to the house which isn’t obvious from the photos but was not a particular problem with respect to noise etc. Lots of great walks nearby - which we will have to rediscover in the future in better weather! Thanks to Phoebe and the owners for making us feel welcome and for being available and responsive to our questions.

We had an a amazing stay. The home was so comfortable. I was visiting with 7 friends so they set all the room as single beds which was perfect for us. The pool was so nice and we enjoyed an evening swim while watching movies on the projector. The area is so peaceful and there are some lovely pubs nearby such as the litton. I would love to visit again!

Great place and great location

The house was very comfortable with everything we needed. The host answered all our questions promptly. There was useful information about what to do and where to eat. We had a great time celebrating a significant birthday with family and friends, in a very pretty part of Wales.

Very good value for money, comfy beds and well located.

absolutely spotless linen beds were excellent. everything you need was provided in the kitchen . was perfect. great hosts very responsive if I ever need to stay here again would not hesitate to book. many thanks

Lovely home.. Great location. easy booking. thankyou

fantastic family farm with amazing hosts. lovely cottage with great views. we stayed there for 8 weeks and it was a great experience. would highly recommend, we will certainly be staying again in the future.

I enjoyed staying at Gillian's cottage and I want to return . There is a cycle path nearby which I want to explore on lighter evenings.

A massive thank you to Abbi, who has been an exceptional host. We had a fantastic time staying at the property. Not only is it a stunning property, but a great location, which was close to work and family for us. In addition to being a stunning area close to the mountains for walks and mountain biking. My husband and I are particularly grateful as Abbi allowed us to stay at the property for 5 months in total while renovations were being done to our home as we had unfortunately been through a flooding experience. Abbi was very flexible and allowed us as much time as we needed for the repairs to our home to be fully completed . Very friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. It was an answer to prayers in a very distressing time. We are extremely grateful and can’t recommend enough. We will miss staying at property as it’s stunning and very cosy; was very much like a temporary second home for us. Spacious place, including utility room and area out the back.🙌🙏

Beautiful house perfect for family holidays. Loved lazy days out with kids on the kayaks & rowing boat! Would definitely recommend. Alex was a great host & very helpful. Will definitely be back again one day…

It was a lovely house and well presented.

What a treat to stay at Dipu’s place in Blaenavon! It was a good, comfortable space for our family of 6 and there was lots of parking on the street outside. We enjoyed exploring the heritage centre in Blaenavon, hiking up the Sugarloaf via St Mary’s Vale and then sampling the locally sourced coffee and pastries at the newly opened Welsh General Store round the corner.

We had a fantastic stay here - an immaculately decorated little cottage, very comfy and a pleasure to be inside 💛

lovely clean home from home. Great distance from local walks and you have to check out Cwmcarn Forest drive, beautiful views and Forest walks at each car park. Ruth couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy with our stay. Thank you Ruth xx

We stayed at Lyndon’s beautiful cottage for the weekend, which had fantastic access to the ICC Wales, where myself and my friend were competing (ATHX). The perfect spot to relax - we loved the bbq and the added little touches! Thank you!
