Awen Vegetarian Bed & Breakfast, South Wales

Nestled in a peaceful spot high on a hillside overlooking the Ebbw Valley, Awen Bed and Breakfast offers a taste of historic Wales. Stay in our 16th Century Welsh Longhouse with sumptuous Four Poster Double Bed.

Awen Bed and Breakfast offers versatile accommodation with two double/family rooms, each with a double and a single bed too.

Savour our delicious, wholesome vegetarian breakfasts, featuring local and organic produce as much as possible. Our breakfast menu includes a hearty cooked Welsh breakfast of vegetarian sausages, eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, marmalade, jams, cereals, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and freshly baked bread. Vegan and gluten free diets are also catered for. Evening meals and lunch boxes can be provided.

Organic produce, soaps, shampoos and cleaning products are used whenever possible.

On sunny mornings, breakfasting in the courtyard is a delight, serenaded by the song birds in the ancient hedge and the bleating of sheep from the farmland next door. On colder nights snuggle by our hearth fire, listening to the elements whirl around the house as they have done for almost 500 years.

We are located close to walking routes (mountains, rugged moorland and wooded valleys) and cycling trails (national cycle routes and Cwmcarn).

We are a stone's throw from Cordell Country, featuring the sites described by Alexander Cordell in his Rape of the Fair Country trilogy, describing the Chartist movement of the mid 1800's.

Newport and Cardiff are within easy reach with a variety of shops and cultural events.

Caerleon upon Usk is a short distance away, where you can visit the Roman amphitheatre and museum.

The museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans makes for a fascinating day out, with many reconstructed Welsh houses... including an original Welsh longhouse, dating from the same time as Penrhiwgwair Cottage itself!
