Whatever you need from your break in the Abergavenny countryside, Allt Yr Ynys hotel surpasses all expectations of an idyllic rural retreat. Whether you're on an overnight business trip, a relaxing leisure break or planning a wedding, Allt yr Ynys offers an incomparable experience, from its superb location on the banks of the river Monnow to its award winning restaurant and its newly refurbished accommodation.
The hotel's approach to prestige hospitality is unrivalled for miles around Abergavenny, and the whole package is enhanced by features such as its superb genuine Tudor architectural styling, a stunning indoor pool, a sauna and easy access to many beloved country pursuits. Allt Yr Ynys has been gradually refurbished over the past few years, resulting in smartly updated accommodation with no loss of original beauty or atmosphere.
With views across to the august Black Mountains, the hotel is the perfect blend of 21st century luxury and a respectful nod to momentous historic events. The house itself has strong links to important segments of Welsh history and was once home to the famed Cecil family, whose best known son William, Lord Burghley, was trusted adviser to Queen Elizabeth 1. The bridal suite of the hotel is rumoured to have been her boudoir during her visits to the area, and Tudor and Jacobean styling is evident in the hotel's décor and furnishings but with none of the heaviness sometimes associated with that era.
Situated only a short drive from all the well known attractions of the Abergavenny area, Allt Yr Ynys is one of few hotels that is completely removed from modern traffic noise and general intrusion, and it provides a perfect base for pursuing countryside activities of all sorts including horse riding, fishing, walking (Offa's Dyke Path is close by) caving, climbing, shooting and golf.
The Abergavenny countryside is a haven for wildlife and while taking tea in the hotel garden or drinking punch on the terrace you are likely to see foxes, water fowl, rabbits and even mink frolicking beside the river, as well as birds of prey soaring overhead.
