New! Hot Tub at Foxes Reach!

Your five star cottage rental located on the Welsh / English border

A traditional Welsh whitewashed stone cottage of great character, with sheltered and charming cottage garden, in a quiet but not isolated rural hamlet of the lower Wye Valley, South Wales.

The cottage is easily reached, being about 1 mile from historic Tintern, 15 minutes drive from both the Severn Bridge (M48) at Chepstow, and the dual carriageway north to M50 / M5 / M6 / M42 at Monmouth, making it a convenient choice all year round.

(OS Grid Reference 509029).

Awarded the coveted five stars for facilities and quality by the Wales Tourist Board (now Visit Wales), the owners also hold the "Welcome Host" award at Gold Level.The cottage also holds the VW AWARDS for facilities for walkers and cyclists.
