Quietly located in a village setting ( Catbrook) approx one and ahalf miles above the River Wye at Tintern . The Abbey and other attractions are easily reached .The sheltered garden has its own hot tub

A traditional Welsh whitewashed stone cottage of great character, with sheltered and charming cottage garden, in a quiet but not isolated rural hamlet of the lower Wye Valley, South Wales.

The cottage is easily reached, being about 1 mile from historic Tintern, 15 minutes drive from both the Severn Bridge (M48) at Chepstow, and the dual carriageway north to M50 / M5 / M6 / M42 at Monmouth, making it a convenient choice all year round.
