Rest and recharge in this delightful holiday home in the quaint village of Llandogo, within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property sleeps four guests and two furry friends, and suits both small families and couples seeking a peaceful, rural bolthole. The area is a paradise for walkers, with both the Offa’s Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk passing close to the village. After a long walk, refuel in the friendly village pub, just 300 metres from the cottage.

The single-storey retreat is accessed via the gardens to the rear of the property. Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner, with a choice of seating areas at a breakfast bar, wooden dining table, or comfortable sofa. This sociable space is the perfect spot for spending quality time together, rustling up tasty feasts and chatting over a bottle of wine. With direct access to the garden, this is also a good place for Rover to set up camp. From here, move through to the cosy lounge, where a collection of comfortable seating is arranged around a Smart TV/DVD. When day turns to night, choose from two beautiful bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, enjoy a morning coffee in the open-aspect garden, whilst the woofer potters around on the grass.

The cottage is just 3.5 miles from the picturesque village of Tintern, famous for its atmospheric ruins of a magnificent Cistercian abbey. There are several circular walks in and around the village, encompassing the abbey, as well as a popular route to the Devil’s Pulpit which offers far-reaching views across the Wye Valley. History enthusiasts will be in their element, with many fascinating castles within a 15-mile radius, including Chepstow, Caldicot, and Raglan (all of which welcome four-pawed visitors).

A lovely well equipped cottage. Tucked away but a great location for visiting all the sights. Sadly the village shop is closed so you need to come with adequate provisions. We would definitely return.

Cottage is really well located, and equipped with everything you need for a self catering stay. Neighbours really friendly and helpful. Very comfortable and welcome gift was a pleasant bonus. Location great for Wye valley attractions including Tintern Abbey, Monmouth and Chepstow.

The cottage was really well equipped. Beds comfortable bathrooms very good. I am being picky that I do not much like leather sofas, bit cold but not a real issue. Heating was a bit difficult to understand but owner was very good & sorted it out.
