“Great little cottage ideally placed for exploring the Wye Valley.”

Local pub The Lion does decent grub and always a warm welcome. A lovely stay for the money.

“We really felt like valued guests and Jean did everything she could for us to be comfortable and well-entertained.”

Her advice and recommendations about the local area were invaluable. The cottage was immaculately clean and equipped well beyond our needs, we prepared all but one of our meals there. The downstairs layout worked well and the lounge is more spacious than it appears in the photos. Upstairs there was a beautifully spacious main bedroom and bathroom. The second bedroom was as expected and is comfortable but quite tiny. Wonderful mattresses and pillows. The stairs, usefully for us, had bannisters on both sides. I struggled with the internet connection, but our host came over and helped us out. We will definitely be recommending The Pound to friends.

- Ms Dulieu, August 2020
“We enjoyed our week at the Pound, Jean is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome as did all the people we met.”

The extra touches were a lovely bonus with milk and eggs, tea and coffee and even some bubble bath. The cottage is excellent for relaxing or for getting out and enjoying the local area. The cottage location is perfect for exploring with walks from the front door and easy access to Tintern with its Abby and surrounding walks, Monmouth is with its shops and history is another must-do. I can honestly say after a busy few months a week at the Pound has left us feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. We are already planning our next visit.

- Ms Cheeseman, July 2020
“We thoroughly enjoyed our short break to the Pound in Trelleck.”

The hosts were extremely kind, they left fresh eggs, milk, tea, coffee, and welsh cakes which was a very thoughtful touch and put up with our 2 collies, the dogs also had a lovely time with loads of country walks in the area. We would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Giles, July 2020

“A lovely week in a quiet village.”

A great base to explore Monmouthshire and the surrounds.

- Mr Robertson, September 2019
“We had a most enjoyable week at The Pound.”

It's a cosy cottage with everything you need and a warm welcome from Jean including some lovely Welsh cakes, eggs, butter and milk which was a lovely touch. There's a great pub in the village within walking distance which serves delicious food. There is an abundance of places to visit and beautiful walks along the river. The scenery is stunning. Thank you Jean for a great holiday.

- Mrs Sewell, August 2019

“It was a bit too quiet in the area for us, however, we enjoyed the break.”

- Mr Burnham, May 2019
“The Pound is a lovely, cosy cottage, with good amenities and with access to a beautiful garden.”

The village of Trelleck is full of history and archaeology in beautiful countryside with wonderful walks. Jean is an excellent host and one of the kindest people I have ever met.

- Ms Howarth, May 2019
“Beautiful cottage and Jean the owner couldn’t have been more helpful.”

Trellech itself is also a great base; a lot of history for what is now a small village, a great little pub and perfectly positioned to explore the Wye valley and surrounding areas.

- Mr Sullivan, April 2019
“Jean is a very welcoming and kind person who made me feel at home and was always on hand if I needed anything.”

Trelleck is a lovely village rich in history and archaeology. The Pound itself is a cosy cottage which also has a long history. Trelleck is a gateway to some beautiful towns and there are castles galore. Highly recommended.

- Ms Howarth, March 2019
“Very warm and cosy cottage, Jean the owner had left bread,butter,milk,and the best eggs we've had in a long time, altogether a very pleasant place to stay.”

- Mr Schofield, November 2018
“We have just returned from a weeks stay at The Pound.”

A delightful cottage very cosy and warm and is much bigger inside than appears in the picture. The cottage is very well equipped and very well situated for Monmouth, Chepstow and surrounding areas such as The Forest Of Dean and Tintern Abbey. Jean is a lovely lady on hand if needed and we were very comfortable in the cottage. The local pub The Lion is at the top of the village a short walk from the cottage, the food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. The little local shop is just around the corner from the pub and sells lovely fresh bacon, sausages and a selection of provisions and newspapers . We liked the village very much very friendly and has a lovely church. We would stay here again

- Mrs Wright, November 2018
“The Pound must be one of the most well equipped cottages we have ever stayed in and the cleanest.”

Lovely thoughtful welcome pack. We were surprised just how spacious it was inside, a real tardis. Ideally situated between Chepstow and Monmouth. On the edge of the Forest of Dean which had great walking for our two Westies, Archie and Mollie. Great dog friendly pub just up the village with a roaring log fire, good food and chatty locals. Exceeded our expectations and we would definitely go there again.

About the location

TRELLECH

Monmouth 6 miles; Chepstow 10.6 miles; Ross-on-Wye 16 miles.

The beautiful village of Trellech is located in the picturesque Wye Valley, close to Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth, Llandogo and Tintern with its famous Abbey ruins. The village derives its name from the three standing stones, known as 'Harold's Stones', and was once one of the largest towns in Wales, hence its wonderful church. The history of the village draws many to visit the three stones as well as the Virtuous Well and the Tump Turret, a 40 foot mound which dates back to Norman times and is known to be the remains of a motte and bailey castle. Outstanding walks are enjoyed by all, whether to explore the history of the area or just take in the magnificent countryside. Pop into the village pub or enjoy a picnic along the way. The surrounding area gives you the option to explore more history at Tintern Abbey and Raglan Castle, visit beautiful Ross-on-Wye or enjoy cycle rides in this most scenic part of Wales. The South Wales coast is only 50 minutes’ away and there are easy road links to Bristol and Cardiff and all of their attractions. A perfectly peaceful location for wonderful holidays.
