    Brilliant location in a lovely little town. Immaculately presented and exceptionally clean. Perfect for a weekend away. Lots to do in the local area too.

    Minor points- the way the shower was designed over bath made it difficult to prevent water pouring from windowsill onto the floor. There was no mop to clean this up. The TV was all a bit high tech for me- a few instructions in the information folder would have been appreciated.

    Very convenient central location, immaculately presented, warm and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped.

    Shower splits water onto the floor and window. The late forwarding of the keycode causing unnecessary concern. No hanging for wet coats or long dresses.

    Location is excellent being in the center of the town. Parking free at property.

    It was very clean and tidy and was very pretty. I loved that you could see the castle from the kitchen window

    Minor niggles - but as noted by previous guests the drainage onto the windowsill from the shower is a bit of a pain. Also, no hooks or hangers anywhere for coats and rather small beds. Didn’t affect our stay.

    Beautifully furnished apartment in the centre of Usk. Some lovely walks along the river and above the castle right from the front door, and perfectly located for all that Monmouthshire and South East Wales/Wye Valley has to offer. Easy parking outside and a big selection of pubs, takeaways and a small supermarket within a couple of minutes walk.

    Clean, fresh and comfortable with parking. Lovely welcome drinks. Perfect location to walk to explore the town and beautiful river walks.We can recommend Pie night at the three salmons and wonderful staff and service at Sprokwobbles Coffee House.

    TV didn't work after the first night. Small double beds, OK for us as we had one each and I slept diagonally

    Excellent location, good parking, well equipped kitchen and plenty of space for the two of us. It felt new.

    Fantastic apartment, beautifully renovated. Immaculately clean & very comfortable. Everything we needed for a weekend away with our parents for a family event in the local area. Lovely little gift on arrival & little vouchers for discounts at local amenities. Chloe & Stephen certainly know how to host & add in the extra touches. Great communication on top of everything else. We would certainly recommend it to others & will absolutely stay again in the future! Thank you for everything. Danielle, Lewis, Claire & Russ

    Great location, lovely, renovated cottage with luxurious beds and bedding.

    There was a short wait on arrival for the code to the lock box. I was unable to connect to the wifi during my stay. The shower over bath was a high step up (may be difficult for some people) and the window was right in the shower/bath so the water drained along the window sill onto the floor. These were minor issues.

    Dedicating off road parking right next to the property, central location in the village of Usk, interior of the property is fully renovated. Very comfortable beds and lovely bedding.
