About this property

Located on the border between Wales and England and not far from the remarkable Offa's Dyke, this fascinating market town is a beautiful blend of old and new, from the ruins of an ancient castle to the bustling weekly market. The town's prime location at the meeting point of three rivers—the Wye, the Monnow, and the Trothy—makes it an ideal home base for those interested in river boating, scenic walks, and a little shopping, as well as those who simply wish to unwind by the river while watching the local rowers race and hone their craft. Besides being the birthplace of Henry V, Monmouth is also home to interesting historical sites including the Nelson Garden and a mediaeval bridge spanning the Monnow River that dates back to the 13th century (the only one of its kind in Britain). Even though it's a very small town, there's a surprising number of exciting attractions here. Short drives will take you to the historic towns of Usk, Abergavenny, and Ross-on-Wye, as well as the breath-taking landscapes of the Brecon Beacons, Forest of Dean, and Wye Valley. An ideal spot that caters to visitors of all ages.

Very clean and stalked with tea and coffee. The host was very accommodating and responded very quickly. There were some challenges around parking vehicles as there is only on road parking. Ideally it could use another bathroom downstairs but understand that it's an old building and this may not be possible.

We are a group of 9 friends who were completing the Offaâs Dyke path. The house suited our needs beautifully meaning we could all stay together including 2 dogs. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The living room, kitchen and dining room were really spacious and well equipped- 9adults could sprawl out on the comfy sofas, mill around the kitchen preparing breakfasts and sit around the great dining table. There was also a lovely enclosed yard with barbecue. Upstairs the bedrooms were great, comfy beds and flexibility of doubles and singles. You can feel the history of the house as you can with any of the buildings in Monmouth. Another plus is that you are right in the heart of town.

Spacious, well maintained, clean- it felt like a perfect home. Everything was there including appliances, linen, kitchen utensils, high chair, baby cot, kids utensils, everything. We didnt stuggle with parking either. We had 2 cars and always got space in the street. Free parking between 5pm to 9 am. 2 hours free parking between 9am to 5pm, and that was plenty for us. Parking was easily available in nearby streets as well. Enjoyed the barbeque outside. Television, Wi-Fi- all great. Above all, the house owner was very helpful at all times. She answered all questions quickly and clearly. Definitely recommended.
