“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

“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.

“Lovely area, Trellech is a good starting spot for seeing the area from.”

The Pound, fascinating history and plenty big enough. Jean was very welcoming, we look forward to coming back.

“Jean and John were lovely hosts.”

They were helpful and very accommodating to our needs. The Pound is a fantastic place to stay when visiting the Trellech area. We so enjoyed our visit.
Mr Bumstead July 2018

“Firstly you are met with a warm smile from both John & Jean, you go on to find that they have provided you with a few essentials, bread, butter ,milk, tea and coffee.”

You then start to explore the cottage and find that you have book a clean, comfortable and well maintained property that suits all your needs, so you can immediately start to relax and enjoy your break. A trip to the local pub, and you are made to feel welcomed by all on both sides of the bar! So, what are the down sides, simply there are none! We travelled all around South Wales, and I cannot think of a better lace to do it from. We had a fantastic break, and we hope that you will too staying at The Pound
Mrs Kempthorne June 2018

“We shared the accommodation with many, many spiders so anyone with a fear of them wouldn't be able to stay there, The owners were very pleasant and helpful and everything we needed was provided.”
Mr Armstrong June 2018

“Our break at The Pound was excellent.”

Thank you to John & Jean for your friendly welcome and the food/drink starter pack provided. The Pound is a lovely cottage with good facilities in a wonderful village, which contains a welcoming pub (The Lion) that serves real ales, good food and welcomes dogs. Trellech is about 4 miles from Monmouth and perfect for exploring the Wye valley and nearby Forest of Dean. We will return.
Mrs Phillips June 2018

“The owners John and Jean are really lovely people and you couldn't ask for nicer host.”

The cottage had everything you need and it was my brother-in-laws 60th while away and John and Jean bought us a drink in the pub to help celebrate his birthday. It is a lovely cottage. Beds were lovely and clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could want. Locals were very friendly and the village has a shop and a beautiful church and only a short drive from tourist attractions. There are also walks from your door if you like to take a stroll in the fields.
Mr Watts May 2018

“Jean and John who own the cottage were lovely and were on hand if we needed anything.”

I would recommend The Pound and Sykes cottages again.
Mr Wisden May 2018

“A superbly located holiday home, surrounded by local history.”

The owners live on site and are very helpful and friendly. Being as the home is at a road junction, this is not the quietest home we have stayed in, but then again it's wasn't the noisiest either!. Also worth mentioning that the home is warm, the bedroom gets quite "Toasty". Would I stay here again? yes most certainly!
Mrs Hall May 2018

“The pound is a really lovely little cottage and jean and John are a very welcoming couple.”

We enjoyed our short stay and hope to return.
Mr Eastment April 2018

“The owners were lovely and made our stay even more enjoyable.”

Welcoming pack of flowers, tea, coffee, bread etc was unexpected but such a nice touch. The only criticism is being on at times a very busy road junction which did detract from the overall experience. Thanks again for a great stay and would highly recommend to anyone.

Ms Yendall March 2018

“The cottage was well presented and very well equipped.”

The owners John and Jean had left fresh milk, bread, eggs and welsh cakes for us which was really appreciated. The area is very rural and tranquil. Chepstow, Monmouth and Abergavenny are all about 15 minutes away and Cardiff is around 50 minutes away. A true gem just across the border. However as stated in the details this cottage is directly next to a quite busy road and there is noise, it did not spoil our holiday at all but it is worth mentioning. We will definitely be returning to the Pound for a well earned break very soon.
Mr Cotterill November 2017

“A lovely little cottage in a great location for walking.”

The village has a delightful pub, whoch is very welcoming and offers great food. For "limited" mobile reception, read "none", anywhere in the village.
Mr Strong August 2017

“The cottage was lovely - just right for me, my partner & our 11 year old son!”

It was well sited for our trips to the Brecon Beacons & Forest of Dean. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming & we had a great time.
Mr Thomas July 2017

“The Pound is one of the best cottages we have stayed at and a credit to the most friendly owners, John and Jean, who made us feel at ease from the minute we arrived.”

The very generous welcome pack was a nice touch and John and Jean had a mine of information on the surrounding area that made it an even more enjoyable experience .We would not hesitate to recommend the Pound to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful part of Wales.

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.
