Caradoc is an attractive, semi-detached holiday home nestled on the England-Wales border in Tutshill near Chepstow, Monmouthshire. Set over three floors with ground-floor living, a woodburning stove and enclosed garden, the property welcomes a family or group of ten to explore the Wye Valley and Cotswolds. Off-road parking greets you on arrival to begin your holiday with ease; step inside the spacious 1930s house to find a large, well-equipped kitchen to stock up the cupboards and prepare your favourite meals. There's a breakfast bar to savour your morning coffee, along with a dishwasher for easy clean ups, whilst the neighbouring utility hosts a washer and dryer to quickly sort muddy walking gear. A handy cloakroom is perfect for freshening up before dinner, which can be enjoyed in the living/dining room with a large table to host 12 guests; bring a bottle of fizz to toast to your retreat over a heart-warming meal, before retreating to the sitting area overlooking the garden. Further seating awaits in the sitting room by the warmth of the woodburning stove, where a bay window brings in plenty of light for lazy days reclining on the sofas with a book or your favourite show on the TV. A lovely spot for socialising, the enclosed garden offers outdoor seating to dine alfresco and a lawn for playing games in the sunshine. Younger guests will also relish the second-floor games room with a selection of games and toys to choose from in a little hideaway. Adults too might enjoy the Table Football game whilst the children relax on brightly coloured beanbags. Suitable for the whole family, Caradoc offers flexible sleeping arrangements to suit a variety of guests; the ground-floor double with en-suite wet room is perfect for those with limited mobility, whilst the first floor hosts another double with an en-suite bathroom, a zip/link double, and two twin bedrooms. Serving the first-floor bedrooms is a spacious bathroom for relaxing bubble baths and hot showers, followed by a fluffy towel fresh off the heated towel rail. In a prime location for local amenities and attractions, you'll find a convenience store in Tutshill, whilst the market town of Chepstow lies just a ten minute walk away across the bridge; explore the remains of the town's 11th-century clifftop castle, discover local history at Chepstow Museum or join Offa's Dyke National Trail, which stretches as far as Prestatyn, for a scenic walk along the Wye Valley. Cyclists can also join the Greenways route, a 5 mile cycle, including a mile-long tunnel along an old railway track, from Tutshill to Tintern in the Wye Valley with its abbey ruins; this route is also suitable for walkers and wheelchair users. For more outdoor adventures, head to the meadows and hills of the Cotswolds or to the Forest of Dean for walking, cycling or canoeing in a gorgeous expanse of rolling hills and countryside! The picturesque towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny are nearby, whilst Bristol and Cardiff are two vibrant cities with plenty on offer for culture vultures. With so much to see and do on your doorstep, book your next family holiday on the Welsh borders at Caradoc.

The kitchen is lovely and modern and great to have a TV in there. We loved the lounge and did manage to squeeze 10 of us in there! Just had a nice feel to it. We appreciated the welcome basket which was lovely thank you. The bedrooms are lovely but we didn't find the beds very comfortable. It's about a 15 minute walk to the town which is nice. Tesco's is a few minutes drive. As another reviewer said, Marmalade cafe is lovely!
Laura
It is a very casual house and very relaxing and has all the requirements like dishwasher microwave and plenty of seating for 5.
