Loved our stay at Riverside Barn
We loved this property and Simon was a lovely host. The house was very comfortable and I personally loved a morning walk across the fields to the River Usk to try to catch a local trout. Proximity to Gilwern town was great for us all as well and we enjoy the nature and history at our doorstep.
