Lovely secluded setting. Excellent for our dogs to run freely. It’s on a hill giving wonderful views but this means walking is great going downhill but you have to walk uphill so if your not fit it maybe a struggle. Excellent WiFi, tv channels.Lovely hot tub. Paul & Helen very approachable and at the end of a phone. Would definitely return again but in better weather so could benefit from sitting outside and chilling. We had relaxing week with typical February weather. So wet weather gear was needed.Lots of places to visit in both Wales and England. Brilliant breakfast at The White Monk by Tintern Abbey which went down well after 40minute walk there.

My friends and I have been coming here for years even though it is a bit more expensive than other properties in the area. We love the seclusion, it is so private and walks from the door. Chepstow and Monmouthshire town is a short drive away

A really lovely lodge. Fantastic views and dog walking right from the door (bridleway right at the front gate with a track to Offa's Dyke) and well in reach of many places of interest to visit. The lodge is very warm and comfortable well equipped and great WI-Fi too..... the phone signal was very good too for those who need it. Decent welcome package to start with, also the big supermarkets found us just fine with a home delivery of groceries (we used tesco and they had no problem finding the lodge). We would have liked an info folder with local amenity numbers and guide to the equipment but not a bother as a quick internet search sorts that out. Our Dogs had a great time despite the very stormy weather. Very friendly & helpful owners. Will we go again..... already looking to next years booking calendar so hopefully yes.
