We spent a wonderful relaxing week in this peaceful and very beautiful part of Monmouthshire. The owners were delightful and generous, plenty of wood for the fire which we lit one or two evenings as it started to turn a little chilly...advice on places to visit, and generally kind and relaxed, there to help but never intrusive. Betty the dog was a delight!! The cottage is well appointed, we had everything we needed, lovely hamper awaited us, a great shower, wonderful comfortable bed. At night all you hear are noises of the natural world, no traffic, just blissful...slept soundly. We are our little dog had a great week. The area is outstanding for walkers and bike trails through the surrounding countryside. Highly recommended.
Superb location and charming hosts. A fantastic location if you have a dog.

The cottage was very warm and welcoming . The setting was lovely and walks on the doorstep were easily accessible
Couldn't fault anything..... comfy bed, lovely linen, heating, log burner, views, welcome pack. What more could you want? Oh yes, prosecco glasses please!!
Excellent facilities, location and lovely hosts - a perfect week quiet secluded and ideal for dogs.
Great cottage and location. Very hospitable hosts, we will return!
Orchard Cottage is nestled in the perfect setting we were looking for in the Wye Valley. Surrounded by ample farmland, forrest and views, it delivered on grand nature walks, peace and serenity. Above all, the hosts (located at the main property) are lovely and gracious people who tended to every detail. Therefore, we happily give a well deserved 5-star rating.
Beautiful little cottage in superb location. Should have stayed longer!
Beautiful location, cozy cottage.
Euan and Laura are the perfect hosts. The setting and cottage itself was beautiful and so well appointed. We will not hesitate to return and look forward to planning our next trip.
It is a lovely and well catered cottage in a beautiful part of Wales. The owner who is delightful left the most amazing welcome basket with everything we needed for much of the stay!
Cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything you want ( apart from may be a bucket to empty the ashes ) Location and views were also excellent and the owners very pleasant.
Orchard Cottage is in such a beautiful location with views of green hills and faraway mountains. It shares a site with the owners' house and another holiday property though there is plenty of space and privacy. Owners Euan and Laura are very friendly and have created a welcoming living environment with a wood-burning stove, well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedroom upstairs. Outside, through the orchard, you can enjoy the stars warmed by the fire pit which also doubles as a barbecue. Even in October, this was a real highlight of our trip. Once you have taken the short drive from Chepstow, you can leave the car and walk to some amazing places including Tintern and the Eagle's Nest. In the cottage, there is a folder full of maps and leaflets to guide you. We appreciated the owners' attention to detail; they provided very clear directions to the house, lots of information about how to operate appliances etc and a good hamper with some very drinkable red wine! If you have/like dogs, this retreat will be perfect. We don't have any but the resident ones were happy to visit and check we were okay.

You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
