The cottage's cosy atmosphere and scenic views contribute to a delightful stay, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be exceptionally clean, with fresh bed linen and well-maintained interiors. One review mentioned the need for more thorough cleaning, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall high satisfaction.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for nature walks, with stunning views and proximity to interesting places. It is highly valued by guests for its tranquility and scenic surroundings.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere, large bed, and warm welcome. There is a single mention of worn-out furniture, but overall, the comfort level is rated very highly.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped and catering to guests' needs, with a special mention of a welcome hamper. However, there are comments about the need for better kitchen facilities and a more user-friendly layout, which slightly lowers the score.
While guests mention a lovely welcome hamper and gifts such as chocolate bunnies and wine, there is not enough information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, these gestures cannot be guaranteed for future guests.
About this property
In a peaceful Wye Valley hamlet near Chepstow, this hidden romantic retreat enjoys superb far-reaching views towards the Black Mountains. Cosy and private, with bags of character and charm, Orchard Cottage is an ideal bolt-hole for exploring the beautiful border countryside.
Situated in the peaceful, rural location of Penterry, a sleepy Wye Valley hamlet steeped in history, yet within 10 minutes drive of the M4, Orchard Cottage is truly a hidden sanctuary. From its prominent hillside position, glorious, far-reaching views towards the Black Mountains can be enjoyed from the flagstone sun terrace, and, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is easy access to the surrounding footpaths and bridleways, providing a haven for walkers and birdwatchers.
This chocolate box pretty cottage is extremely comfortable with an open-plan living area featuring a cosy sitting room with plenty of seating in front of the wood burning stove; a spacious dining area with french doors to the garden; along with a modern kitchen. The bedroom enjoys a super-king size bed and a bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.
Enjoy the garden and views all year round, with a barbecue for those balmy summer's days; and the warming firepit for those chilly autumnal evenings snuggled up in a warm blanket.
There are no limits to the nearby things to do, with castles, abbeys, caves and more. And foodies will be spoilt for choice from the selection of nearby award-winning restaurants and pubs. Orchard Cottage is a simply perfect choice for a romantic escape to this beautiful border countryside.
