Set on the edge of the valley above Monmouth, lose yourself in breathtaking views stretching across the Wye Valley and towards the Black Mountains from almost every window of this lovingly furnished getaway. This is the perfect spot for families and groups of friends looking for a peaceful escape to the country, with many footpaths beginning from the doorstep.
At the end of a busy day, gather the whole gang in the light and bright kitchen/diner, the hub of the home, to enjoy tasty locally sourced treats and a glass of something chilled seated around the rustic dining table. As the evening draws in, head into the homely lounge to cuddle up on the comfy sofa and catch your favourite programme on the TV. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, you have one en-suite double, one twin made up of two adjoining single rooms with an open doorway between them and a final twin bedroom to retire to for a peaceful rest before tomorrow’s adventure. Outside, unwind with an evening barbecue watching the sunset, play croquet on the large lawn or explore the grounds to discover wildlife, ponds and woodland.
The sleepy hamlet of Welsh Newton Common is nestled between the beautiful Monnow and Wye Valleys amidst the borderlands of England and Wales, perfect for keen outdoor enthusiasts with footpaths aplenty including the iconic Offa’s Dyke. Tucked away in the lower reaches of the Wye Valley, head to the thriving market town of Monmouth (5 miles) to peruse its elegant Georgian mansions and Victorian courtyards lined with independent shops, pubs and restaurants. This area is also rich in heritage, with many castles including Monmouth, Goodrich and Raglan Castle all reached within 12.5 miles; the remains of Tintern Abbey can be reached within 16 miles.
