Cottage was cosy and comfortable and had everything you need for a relaxing holiday, ideal to watch the wildlife from your windows or from the garden or plenty of walks around ,then take a 5 minute stroll down into tintern for a meal or visit the many attractions including the famous tintern abbey. Enjoyed the fish and chip van that visits the wirework carpark weekly which was a small walk from the cottage. The local bus route through tintern visits chepstow and monmouth. There is a lovely walk to brockweir through the trees but take care it gets muddy and you need to be fairly fit as it is mostly inclined. Would definitely return.

“He pictures do not do justice to this property.”

It was located in the most beautiful wooded valley, within "hearing" distance of the Angiddy brook. It was amazingly tranquil, yet only a very short distance from the centre of Tintern (walking distance for my four year old) which itself was easily reached from Chepstow and the M48/M4 ie London in 2 hours... It was a manageable distance from the outstanding Big Pit museum, Monmouth and all the activities there as well as the Black Mountains/Forest of Dean etc. The property itself was like a tardis, looking small from the outside but with three good sized bedrooms and a comfortable eat in kitchen with perfect views of the birdfeeder that attracted a host of birds, including a nuthatch and woodpecker. Buzzards pass regularly overhead. 5 stars - we would return without hesitation.

“We used the cottage for a useful base whilst working nearby.”

This would be a very good place to stay for a holiday as it is very close to the middle of Tintern and all that it offers. Very handy for the eating and drinking establishments and for walking. Would certainly consider coming back to this cottage for a holiday. Nice clean and comfortable place with a very good kitchen. One of our group missed having internet access.

“The bungalow is set in a quiet location just off the main Monmouth/Chepstow road at Tintern with a woodland backdrop where the air you breath is clean and fresh.”

There are numerous local woodland walks ideal if you like trekking, bear in mind that the local terrain can be steep in places. Tintern Abbey is about a 10 minute walk down the road next to the River Wye which runs through the village. Tintern has with a couple of nice pubs The Anchor and The Rose and Crown (Steak pub) serving a good standard of food. Close by are shops selling reasonably priced souveneirs and one where milk and bread can be purchased. If the weather is sunny and warm the River Wye glistens, the local scenery is beautiful at any time. Nearby are Chepstow Castle and Raglan Castle both well worth a visit as is the fascinating Littledean Jail an 18th century prison at Liitledean (Crime artifacts and pop memorabilia) If you want a quiet relaxing hoilday this is the ideal place and location.

“Great location and well equipped bungalow”

Good sized bungalow and plenty of room for 6 friends and a dog! Separate toilet would have been good but not a huge issue, Plenty of hot water for showers and very well equipped kitchen. Short walk to decent pub and Tintern Abbey as well as tourist shops and tea rooms. Some good walks in area but I would recommend trainers / walking shoes. The Fountain (up in the hills) is also highly recommended and just a short drive. away. No shops in village for food items and no cash machines, Nice community run farm shop in Brockweir or take essentials with you!

“Tintern was a lovely area with walks, scenery and pubs.”

The cottage was light, spacious and well equipped with good instruction manuals, there were deer in surrounding woods. A lovely sunny location a 5 minute walk from main village with Abbey, tourist shops, hotel and pubs. The owners left us a lovely welcome pack and a letter. They were easy to contact and very helpful with info on keys and things to see in the area. We enjoyed watching the birds on the bird feeders and looking out for the deer around the garden.

Visit the historic walled town of Chepstow with its impressive Norman Castle and the celebrated Chepstow Racecourse, whilst the pretty market town of Monmouth, with its stunning stone-gated bridge, is within a short drive. Hay-on-Wye, with the annual Hay Festival is just over an hour's drive and Cheltenham Racecourse is also just over an hour away. An ideal location for a varied and enjoyable holiday, at any time of the year.
