If you love a house with personality, stories, and a touch of Gothic charm, Fairlea Grange in Abergavenny is exactly the kind of place that turns a weekend away into something special. Once the childhood home of author Ethel Lina White – whose book inspired Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes – this striking townhouse is now a welcoming, laid-back holiday home for 12–24 guests.

Fairlea Grange is proudly quirky. As a listed building, it comes with its share of creaks, squeaks, and draughty windows, but they’re all part of its warm, lived-in charm. Inside, you’ll find tall bay windows, a grand staircase perfect for that group photo, and a cosy lounge with a woodburner that’s made for slow mornings and long evenings.

Bedrooms are generous and full of character, bathrooms are spacious, and the views stretch up to the Welsh mountains. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, so the whole gang can come along.

The house is designed for relaxed, sociable breaks. There’s:

• A hot tub for unwinding,

• A 6-person sauna,

• And a games room for friendly rivalry.

So whether your crew likes to chat over a bottle of something nice, sneak off for a quiet nap, or compete for pool-table glory, everyone has space to do their thing.

Location-wise, it couldn’t be easier. You’re just five minutes from Abergavenny train station and ten minutes from the historic town centre. Shops, pubs, delis, and restaurants are all nearby, and the Brecon Beacons, Wye Valley, and Forest of Dean are right on the doorstep for walks, cycles, and mountain views.

Fairlea Grange is ideal for birthdays, reunions, and relaxed celebrations – but it’s not suitable for stags or wild parties. Think warm, cosy gatherings rather than chaos.

If your group loves history, character, and a home that feels like it has stories to tell, Fairlea Grange will absolutely charm you.
