“Cosy relaxing stay”

Such a lovely break at Pembridge Cottage! A cosy bolt hole and yet so convenient for Monmouth, Hereford and the Forest of Dean, Ledbury,Ross on Wye. Pembridge cottage sits alongside the main house and therefore you are not isolated. The host was friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. All amenities and styled to be relaxed and comfortable, perfectly suiting the countryside surrounding the cottage. Our dogs were in paradise - so many squirrels and birds. A short stroll to the Norman Church ...

A short stroll to the Norman Church where we saw a beautiful hare in the grounds. Would definitely return to this lovely place.

“So pleased to have the opportunity to review our comfortable stay at Pembridge Cottage in Welsh Newton!”

We had such a relaxing break in this cosy warm cottage with our two little dogs. A perfect place to enjoy the countryside (birds, squirrels and sounds of an owl at night and saw a beautiful hare!)....... and yet so convenient for site seeing at Monmouth, Hereford (Cathedral), Ross on Wye, Ledbury and the wonderful colours of the Forest of Dean. The cottage is not isolated as it's situated next to the main house and yet private and the host helpful, but not intrusive. We would definitely like to return!

“The cottage was a good base for exploring the surrounding area.”

It had everything you need for your stay. We had an enjoyable holiday with our two dogs.

- Mrs Pilmer, October 2019
“The cottage felt homely and set in beautiful grounds with access to immediate countryside.”

Lovely, friendly host. Great location to explore the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean and further afield to the Brecon Beacons. Excellent selection of maps and guide books - a week of walking doesn't touch the surface for this beautiful area. Wifi is a bit hit and miss - so plan ahead. Whilst the cottage was clean and tidy it could do with some TLC in some areas - a good Spring clean.

- Mrs Whereat, August 2019
“Cottage was of good condition, clean and tidy.”

Owner lives next door and was fully cognisent of our independence and assisted with any request made. A beautiful location and surroundings with the farm land open for us to walk ourselves and our dogs. In all I would recommend this cottage for a holiday stay.

“Pembridge cottage is set in the grounds of a lovely house with beautiful garden.”

It has plenty of 'little extras' to make guests feel welcome. eg video players in lounge and bedroom with a supply of dvds, cds, books and games to name a few. It is a comfy cottage that is very easy to look after. Host is very pleasant and even posted items that i'd left in the wardrobe! I'd certainly stay here again and reccommend to friends.

- Ms Kirk, April 2019
“We feel this is a lovely cottage with a lot of potential but felt a bit let down that the ensuite upstairs was below expectations for cleanliness which is not very acceptable.”

The dirt on skirting boards, doors etc and around bottom of shower/bin etc wasn't very nice. We felt a bit of TLC needed to get it up to expectations. Sorry as lovely location . Wifi needs to be addressed too as unreliable.

- Mrs Holmes, April 2019
“We had an enjoyable stay, the owner was very helpful when needed and I feel had a good balance in communication.”

Local walks could be quite challenging with a larger dog as stiles and gates on the footpaths were not always easy to negotiate! I booked via the internet but did not realise until after the 'cooling off' period that I had purchased the insurance which I did not require. I feel it was not clear enough in the booking process so please can you make it more prominent. Thank you.

- Mrs Firth, September 2018
“The cottage is nicely positioned in the garden of Pembridge House in quiet surroundings.”

It is quite well equipped with most things that you would need. There is one error in the notes regarding the fridge, it DOES have an ice box! This was our second stay in the cottage and we enjoyed it as much as the first time.

- Mr Edmonds, July 2018
“A warm welcome when we arrived, comfortable property in a lovely quiet location, but easy access to get out and about.”

All in all, a great week in a lovely part of the country.

- Mr Olivant, June 2018
“We. loved the cottage and we will definitely return”

- Mr Gander, June 2018
“Wonderful quiet location, very tranquil set in beautiful grounds.”

All facilities well laid out. Lovely owner with just the right touch . Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

- Mrs Mcarthur, April 2018
“For me, it was the fact there were no issues to deal with, everyone was extremely helpful.”

For my husband and my mum it was the peace and quiet it's been a stressful time recently and they were able to relax... Many thanks for all your help..

- Mrs Bratton, March 2018
“Location and cottage were fabulous.”

The owner was very friendly and informative about where to go in the surrounding area.

- Mr Lander, March 2018
“Dog perfect for the Offa's Dyke”

Perfect stopping point for the final (southerly) stages of the Offa's Dyke path as relatively easy access to Monmouth and path finish at Chepstow. Me, my Mum and her friend did this section in two days and Pembridge cottage was perfect. Hardwood and stone floors, comfy furniture, lovely beds (for the two-leggers - I brought my own). Washing machine and tumble dryer as well. Best bit for me was that a previous dog had left a chew under the bed! Good local walking on the cottage owners land and a big garden (un-gated from road though). Cottage owner was lovely and took my Dad fly fishing which he, evidently, thought was wonderful. No fish tea for me though ......

“Well equipped, comfortable, lovely location”

We had a very pleasant week. The cottage had everything we needed and was well located. Monmouth is lovely and there is lots to do in the region. Our host was very helpful when needed. We definitely plan to rebook in the future.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely area”

This cottage had everything we needed. Big garden which was great for the dogs. WiFi, comfy beds and well equipped. Lovely woods nearby to walk the dogs. Symonds Yat only 10 minutes away with lovely walks along the Wye and good food and drink. Hereford only 20 mins away and Monmouth only 5 minutes.

- JillfromWakey, August 2016
“Listed as fully equipped kitchen, it did not have washing machine, tumble dryer ect as it had not been finished before we arrived.”

- Miss Wakelam, December 2014
“Views!”

First there's the drive up the Wye Valley. Then up to the wood to exercise the dog - and you can see the whole of England and Wales, or so it seems. The cottage is nicely basic (which is what we wanted) and the grounds and the owners very pleasant. The window blinds stick in the memory as being quite a challenge.

“Very Clean and Well Equipped”

Very clean and well equipped. would recommend this cottage.

“a gem hidden behind the road”

Very nice accomodation far enough away but close to a small town with enough shops to be able to buy your needs The grounds were large with a stream and large trees and beside a large manor house. Plenty of places to visit and quite a few restaurants and pubs. Very relaxing and accomodation excellent and very modern. Two en suites means you are not waiting to wash

The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed - the countryside was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed the holiday.

“Laid back relaxation”

Friendly owners and dog - even our mad collie made friends with Star. All faclities and equipment you could need Dodgy ankle precluded our usual long distance treks but plenty of shorter walks (as short or long as you like) in woods, by rivers etc - Symonds Yat, Tintern just a couple. Plenty of tourist attractions for lazy days.
