Property code: OC-76606

Smack-bang in the middle of picture-perfect countryside mottled with thick hedgerows and leafy trees is this two-person and up to two dogs cottage. A beautiful retreat ideal for romantic getaways and solo breaks away from the confines of city life, both two and four-footed adventurers will love delving into the depths of the glorious Wye Valley from this charming home from home. Luxuriously furnished, irresistibly cosy with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and wonderfully located for reviving amongst fresh, country air, it’ll be no time at all before you are planning your return.

 

Tucked within an enclosed courtyard and surrounded by fields, you will immediately benefit from the tranquil goodness of this country home. On summer days, make the most of the outdoor seating with a morning brew and in winter, nestle into the comfortable embrace of the sofa while your pup nibbles on a bone in front of the wood burner. Thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need and more throughout the day, you will love the abundance of helpful utilities spread out across the open-plan ground floor, from the kitchen appliances to the lounge’s Smart TV. Upstairs, the sumptuousness continues in the form of a king-sized bed and beautiful en-suite shower room.

 

As well as the courtyard’s table and chairs, a further bench is set at the top of some stone stairs providing a lovely vantage point to watch birds flit from tree to tree. Once you’ve gathered your thoughts, don your wellies, pop your canine pal on his lead and pick up one of the many footpaths nearby. Encompassed by verdant scenery and only 2 miles from the Wye Valley itself, you will be spoilt for choice with revitalising strolls and heart-pumping stomps. Once you’ve (just about) tired out the dog, head to Chepstow (7.5 miles) for a choice of dog-friendly eateries or stroll the two miles to the dog friendly pub.

We had an excellent stay at the Old Stables. A superb location with lovely views from the patio area and peace/quiet. We enjoyed walks and ebike rides (some very steep hills up sandstone escarpments) from the door. We only used the car once to visit impressive Chepstow castle (20 mins) on the only chilly grey morning of our stay. We live in a vRead moreery rural area ourselves so narrow roads and distance from shops werent an issue (we had enough provisions to last 5 days). We found the bed, indoor/outdoor seating comfortable. Hide

Beautiful location with lots of walks from the door. The owners were friendly and helpful. Cottage was lovely. Warm and comfortable. Quite isolated but we like that and this is one of the few cottages we would consider visiting again.

Had a lovely few days away at this property. Great for walkers and dogs. Property was comfortable loved the balcony seating area outside. Barney the owners dog made friends with our dog and joined us on walks lovely little chap! Would recommend. Take plenty of food/resources as no shop within walking distance. A very peaceful short break.

A very well-appointed cottage, with great views. Nice and quiet, the dog was very happy, as were we. It was very warm, with under-floor heating and a radiator at the top that did more than keep the chill off. We slept very well. Kitchen is pretty good for a holiday stay. Bed very comfortable.

Great little cottage for two in lovely quiet rural spot. Maybe a bit short on natural daylight downstairs but made up for by good sitting out areas. Very cosy and efficient log burner - only used a couple of evenings in early October as weather was not really cold enough! Plenty of good dog walks around.

In previous reviews people mentioned a welcome pint of milk in the fridge so we were a bit disappointed there was none for us, also it states first basket of logs included, there were only 2 logs in the bottom of the basket. Otherwise it was a cosy cottage, clean & comfortable, and well equipped.
