Abergavenny pub with Airbnb apartment on market for £350,000
The Waenllapria property includes a 40-seater lounge bar/restaurant and a 28-seater public bar, alongside an upgraded self-contained owner's flat and an additional one-bed Airbnb apartment.
The pub's ground floor is split into two main areas: the lounge bar/restaurant and the public bar.
The lounge bar/restaurant, with its boarded floor and feature fireplace, offers seating for 40 diners.
According to the estate agent, the room also benefits from a 'considerable amount of additional light' due to roof lanterns.
The catering kitchen is described as 'well equipped' with a four-section galvanised extraction canopy and a selection of stainless steel catering effects and work surfaces.
The ground floor also features a large freezer room, dry store, beer cellar, bottle store, and a boiler room.
The public bar, which has a beamed ceiling and antique brick surround open fireplace, can accommodate 28 seated customers.
This room has direct access to the trade garden, which is terraced and part patioed and part lawned.
The pub also offers a set of ladies' and gentlemen's customer toilets, along with disabled facilities.
The first floor of the pub has been divided into two separate apartments.
The first apartment, currently occupied by the owners, offers a large open plan living area with a kitchen/diner and lounge, a double bedroom, and a modern bathroom.
The second apartment, which has just been finished, is planned to be let out on Airbnb to take advantage of the high demand for accommodation in the tourist area.
This apartment consists of a kitchen/lounge/diner, a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room.
Car parking is available at the front of the property, with space for eight vehicles, and in a large rear gated compound, mainly used by the owners.
The agent suggests this area could also be utilised by residents of the Airbnb accommodation.
The property also includes gardens and two car parking areas.
A tarmacadam car park to the front of the property can hold eight vehicles, while a large rear compound, mainly used by the current owners, can accommodate a further two or three vehicles.
According to Sidney Phillips, the rear parking area could also be used by Airbnb guests, as it is adjacent to the accommodation access.

Dublin City Council refuse planning retention to 10 apartment Airbnb operator
Dublin City Council has refused planning retention to a significant Airbnb operator close to Dublin Castle and Temple Bar to continue offering its apartments for short-term letting to tourists. Dublin Castle Suites advertises its 10 apartments on the Airbnb platform and can earn up to €350 per night per apartment on busy weekends. Advertisement The owner of the apartments facing onto Parliament Street and Dame Street would earn only a fraction of its current rental income if the apartments are to be rented for long-term letting only. A question mark has now been put over the lucrative enterprise following the City Council's decision to refuse planning retention to allow the apartments to continue to be used for short-term letting. Applicants, Olympia Real Estate Limited, now have the option of appealing the decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála, which may reverse the council's planning refusal. However, in its decision, the city council pointed out that there is a general presumption in the Dublin City Council Development Plan against the provision of dedicated short-term tourist rental accommodation in the city due to the impact on the availability of housing stock. Advertisement In refusing planning permission, the Council stated that Olympia Real Estate Ltd has not provided a sufficient justification for the provision of short-lease apartments at this location. The Council found that the proposal to continue the apartments for short-term letting 'would create an undesirable precedent for similar type development and would devalue property in the vicinity'. The planners concluded that the proposed retention of short-term residential use is not compatible with the architectural character, historic fabric and special interests of the protected structure. The Council planning report which recommended a refusal concluded that the continued use of the apartments for tourist accommodation 'would result in existing residential stock being lost to the residential housing system, meaning less long-term and secure accommodation will be available to the growing number of families and people who need it'. Advertisement Olympia Real Estate Limited lodged the planning application after the Council issued it with a Warning Letter over the use of the apartments for short-term letting. Planning consultants for the applicants, Cunnane Stratton Reynolds (CSR) state that 'enabling housing as short-term let accommodation in this instance redirects such demand away from mainstream housing'. The consultants state that 'the proposed tourism accommodation will assist in the attractiveness of the area for tourists and will promote a continued busy and vibrant city centre'. CSR states that its client's ability to acoustically meet the standards of normal accommodation is not available, given the protected status of the subject premises. Advertisement They state, 'in a period of substantial housing crisis these units cannot remain vacant'. Objecting to the planned retention, Fiachra Brennan of Oakcourt Park, Dublin 20 and who works on Parliament Street, said that 'these are high-quality urban apartments which should be available on the long-term rental market'. He said: 'The applicant has pointed to issues with regards to soundproofing and insulation – this should not preclude the use of the property for its intended purpose. He added: 'I work on Parliament Street – it is a vibrant area with a range of commercial and hospitality businesses but is also an important urban, residential city neighbourhood. This status should be protected.'

The Key West stay that changed my mind about the Florida Keys
I'm not a Keys hater—I'm just not a Keys lover. Given the chance to travel anywhere in Florida, I'll always choose the west coast with its miles of sandy beaches and sprawling resorts. Key West is, well, the opposite. Accommodations are usually boutique-y, and going for a swim in the ocean means getting on a boat. Thanks, but no thanks—unless you're taking me to Lunara Bay. I quickly changed my tune about Keys life after a weekend in this new oceanfront development near Stock Island, just minutes from Key West proper. Bookable on Airbnb, the luxury homes are massive—upscale, newly built conch houses with state-of-the-art appliances, modern furnishings, and space for you and your closest friends. The spate of homes can host anywhere from eight to 20 guests—if you can believe it—ranging from four to eight bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Plus, each home has its own private dock, saltwater pool and outdoor sitting area complete with a grill, sound system, wet bar and fire pit. Truly, a dream rental. We stayed in the Joyrise House, a three-story, 6-bedroom/6-bath beauty that looked straight out of a Crate & Barrel catalog. I can say this confidently after flipping over every vase and checking under every chair, rug, dresser and cushion for the maker—yes, I wanted inspo for my own home. I was that impressed. The chef in our group was equally dazzled by the Viking gas range, matching Viking fridge, and icemaker. Let's just say both of us considered extending our stay… permanently. More than an Airbnb Guests of Lunara Bay are assigned a Guest Experience Manager (GEM), basically a personal concierge to see to your every need before, during and after your stay. Our GEM checked in pre-arrival for a grocery list to stock our fridge, sent restaurant and sightseeing recs, and curated a thoughtful Key West itinerary. We texted throughout our stay, and our GEM always responded quickly. When we scrambled to meet our 10am checkout (honestly, the only downside), we left behind valuables, which housekeeping secured and our GEM safely shipped back. Brightwild operates Lunara Bay (and several other properties) plus an excursion arm with sandbar trips, snorkeling and blissfully chill booze cruises—which we took and loved. I half-expected a rowdy Duval Street crowd on the water, but our mid-afternoon ride was smooth and laid-back. After cruising for about an hour, we found our sandbar and spent another 90 minutes wading in shallow waters before heading back. The pontoon boat was pristine (yes, even the bathroom!) and beer, wine and a sandwich lunch were included. A definite upgrade from my past Keys experiences. Embrace Key West at Lunara Bay Key West is only as fun as your company, and Lunara Bay gives you the space to bring all your favorite people. As a home base, it's close enough for sightseeing, meals or a big night out on Duval Street—without racking up ridiculous Uber fares. Ensuite bathrooms make every room feel like a mini hotel, complete with Salt & Stone and Grown Alchemist body products. The spacious living room and outdoor space give everyone a place to hang out and daydream about life in a mansion this size. For now, we'll plan our next getaway.
