Set less than 200 metres from the England/Wales border and the babbling River Monnow, this stone-built cottage offers panoramic, rural views to families and friends seeking serenity. Leave the car behind each day and embrace the local network of footpaths and riverside trails, discovering the historic Llanrothal Church and Tregate Bridge (both within 0.5 miles). Other popular trails nearby include the Offa’s Dyke Path (14 miles), the Monnow Valley Walk (0.5 miles), and the Three Castles Walk (4.5 miles). Outdoor activities nearby include canoeing and paddle boarding along the River Wye (22 miles), as well as mountain biking through the trails of the Forest of Dean (15 miles), where picnics, family walks and high-wire climbing are also on the cards. Keen golfers will delight in the options nearby, include the Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club (5 miles), and Monmouth Golf Club (6.5 miles).

This former farm building has been converted into a luxurious, chic getaway where original features like exposed stone walls and ceiling beams combine with modern, homely comforts. On arrival, take a moment to appreciate the far-reaching views of the rolling countryside, then walk through the peaceful garden to the main entrance. Step inside and find a cool and contemporary, open-plan living space that has been cleverly configured for everyday living. At one end of the open-plan living space you’ll find the sumptuous lounge area where comfortable, stylish seating is arranged around a Smart TV. When stomachs start to rumble, a well-appointed kitchen awaits at the opposite end of the room where you’ll find everything needed to whip up holiday feasts for your loved ones, who can dine at the farmhouse-style table here, or outside on the peaceful patio. For relaxation after dinner, find a cosy, separate lounge with more comfortable seating and another Smart TV – the perfect spot for little ones seeking some alone time. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room and a cloakroom with WC. When day turns to night, head upstairs to choose from three delightful bedrooms, each boasting unique decor and characterful, original cottage features. These rooms include a super-king, a double, and a cosy single. A well-equipped family bathroom completes the interior.

Outside, soak up the rural views and serenity from the quiet garden, retreating to the sun loungers to work on your tan. Find a bubbling, 5-person hot tub here for memorable nights under the stars. Spread across three levels, the garden boasts two patio areas for al fresco dining, and you’ll find a charcoal BBQ and outdoor table and chairs to help you. Spot the local wildlife here, thanks to the pre-filled bird feeders dotted around the garden.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location was relaxing and peaceful - a great hideaway! The wrap around garden was really lovely, well maintained and gave a great sense of space. This garden is a must for bird lovers with such a well attended bird feeding area, lovely to watch all the comings and goings if so many birds. The hot tub was a greaRead moret feature and we all really enjoyed relaxing in it after being out and about during the day. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location with lots do to in the surrounding area. Owners have taken great care to ensure you have a perfect stay and this was much appreciated by us - they've thought of everything!! Would highly recommend. Hide

We had a fabulous time at the cart shed, in a beautiful peaceful location. Our hosts Suzy and Adam could not have been more helpful and welcoming, advising us of places to visit. The cottage was fabulous, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We will be returning.
