  • "Walnut Cottage is modern, spotless, and finished to an impressively high standard throughout."

    The spacious living room, with its large sofa and dining area, feels bright, welcoming, and very comfortable. The kitchen is exceptionally clean, beautifully presented, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, making the stay feel effortless. The bedroom is generous in size, with a large, comfortable bed and skylights that create a wonderfully airy atmosphere. The bathroom is thoughtfully designed and immaculate, reflecting the overall care taken with the property. The stable door adds a charming touch, and the patio area provides plenty of seating for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The owner introduced himself and was very helpful, adding to the positive experience. The owner introduced himself and was very helpful, adding to the positive experience. The location is fantastic, with lovely views across the fields, and although the lanes are narrow and steep, using what-3-words makes arrival straightforward. It is also an excellent base for visiting Raglan, offering convenient access to country walks and exceptionally beautiful scenery.

    We are so appreciative of your very kind and generous feedback. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, your lovely comments make us very happy. Thank you Property Owner

  • "We stayed in Walnut cottage and it was great."

    The kitchen was very well equipped and clean, and some goodies were left for us by the owners. The property is in a rural area meaning its quiet and peaceful, and has lovely views. The directions provided by the owners meant that finding the property was easy. While we were there temperatures hit 33c, but the cottage was nice and cool, and there was a tower fan in the living room. It is a short drive from the local town, which had free parking. While the property is very close to another rentable cottage and the owners home, the enclosed garden meant we had privacy when sitting outside. It is the perfect size for 1 or 2 guests and we thoroughly enjoyed!

    Just to say Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review. We are so happy that you liked Walnut cottage and were able to keep cool in the heatwave! Thank you for taking the time to review us. It helps our little business so much. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful week at Walnut Cottage!"

    The standard of the accommodation was very high, a real credit to the owners, who were welcoming and helpful. The location was in pretty countryside but still a short drive to Raglan, so ideal for a bit of touring, but we had such great weather that we spent a lot of time just relaxing on the patio or on the lawn

    Thank you for your lovely review and for taking the time to do so. We are so pleased that you had such an enjoyable time and were able to take advantage of our lovely weather in Wales!!! Property Owner

    Loved the welcome pack of bread,cheese,milk,eggs,fresh orange and butter. Nice little touches of roses from the garden. Such a quiet place surrounded by woods and fields. Lots of lovely to visit in the area, so didn't have to do lots of driving. Highly recommended. We would definitely be going back.

  • "Perfect and very romantic Pros: Beautiful cottage with lots of privacy."

    Wonderful wood-burning stove with plenty of firewood. The cottage was also very well heated on the upper floor. The host was very friendly. The snack basket provided was also very thoughtful, especially the love spoons and their story behind them. The white bread was also very tasty. Everything was just right for our stay during Valentine's Day. The cottage was also perfect for my partner's dog. Cons: The kettle should be cleaned.

    Thank you for you taking time to review your stay. We will of course review the kettle cleanliness. Apologies if it wasn’t as clean as it should be. We provide it as a reserve should there be an issue with the Quooker tap. We hope to see you again. Best Regards Mike & Alison Property Owner

  • "We had a gorgeous stay at Walnut Cottage with our golden retriever, Gwen."

    The weather was very wet so we enjoyed a lazy few days in the cottage, enjoying the fire and the sound of (tawny?) owls from the woods. We managed a lovely canal walk and excellent roast at the recommended Goose and Cuckoo a few miles away. Bed was huge and comfy, great shower and everything was very clean. Even the glassware and crockery was nice quality - makes such a difference. The stone steps upstairs are quite uneven so probably best for fairly mobile visitors. Thanks for a great stay!

    Hi Rowan Thank you for your review of your stay at Walnut cottage. We really appreciate you taking the time to comment. We think you are absolutely correct regarding the stairs which are a typical feature for a 16c cottage of the area and do indeed need a bit of care in negotiating! We hope to see you all again soon - hopefully when the weather is better. BR’s Mike and Alison Property Owner

  • "We had the most amazing and peaceful stay at Walnut Cottage."

    The cottage itself was stunning, and the surrounding villages were absolutely lovely to explore. There were plenty of beautiful walks for our dog, and we made great use of the AllTrails app. Even on the days we didn’t venture far, the private woodland on the cottage grounds was perfect—our dog Max adored having the space to run freely. The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, welcoming us personally and showing us to our cottage. We’d love to return in the near future and bring our family so we can enjoy both cottages together. Thanks again, Mike and Alison x

The property

Walnut Cottage sits quietly in the peaceful countryside near Raglan, offering a gentle, restorative escape for couples or solo travellers.

With exposed stonework, soft light drifting through Velux windows, and views of surrounding greenery, this charming 17th Century cottage feels instantly welcoming.

Guests also have the rare treat of exclusive access to five acres of adjacent private woodland.

With its winding paths, mature trees, and a stream weaving through the landscape, it’s the perfect spot for unhurried strolls or moments of quiet reflection.

Enter into living/dining room designed for easy, comfortable days.

The woodburning stove becomes the heart of the space, adding a warm glow that encourages you to settle in for slow evenings, shared meals, or a peaceful hour with a book.

The adjoining kitchen is well equipped, making it simple to prepare anything from a generous breakfast before heading out to a light supper at the end of the day.

Upstairs, the beautifully presented double bedroom offers a calm and restful place to drift off, with soft tones and thoughtful touches that make it feel like a true retreat.

The sleek shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, adds a convenient finish to the layout.

Outside, the rear garden has a patio with an inviting setting for alfresco meals, morning coffee as the birds stir, or unwinding after wandering through the woodland.

With off-road parking for two cars and the option to bring one well-behaved pet, the cottage blends practicality with a naturally inviting feel.

With its character, woodland setting, and welcoming atmosphere, Walnut Cottage is a wonderful base for discovering the beauty and charm of Monmouthshire.
