Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage dirty and in need of a deep clean, while others reported it as clean and tidy. The negative comments, however, weigh down the score.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquility, with easy access to walks and nearby towns. It's a remote spot that offers peace and quiet, which is appreciated by guests.
Comfort receives mixed feedback. Some guests found the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, while others mentioned uncomfortable sofas and chairs. The upstairs bedroom's heat and low headroom were noted as discomforts by some.
Facilities are generally good, with special mention of the well-equipped kitchen. However, issues with WiFi, TV reception, and maintenance detract from the overall experience. The presence of outdated leaflets and the lack of mobile signal are also noted.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. No reviews mention gifts or special touches that would indicate the owner's thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.
About this property
A delightful, 17th century, stone-built detached barn conversion, standing in the pretty grounds of the owner's country house and gardens in the hamlet of Welsh Newton, near the beautiful Wye Valley. Lovingly renovated to provide high quality accommodation including two en-suite bathrooms, the ground floor of this Welsh Newton cottage is decorated and furnished in a contemporary style while the main loft bedroom has a sloping ceiling and exposed oak beams, creating a romantic atmosphere. Excellent walking can be enjoyed nearby along Offa's Dyke, and the Wye and Monnow Valleys, while good fishing is available at the Rivers Monnow and Wye and local lakes. Cycling is also available nearby and in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), just half an hour away. With the lovely towns of Monmouth, Symonds Yat and Ross-on-Wye all within easy reach, this is a superb Welsh Newton cottage for couples and families alike.
Welsh Newton is close to the English and Welsh borders and to the town of Monmouth. If walking is your hobby then Welsh Newton is a good choice for you because there are lots of exciting walking routes to take including the famous Offa's Dyke. You could also opt for guided trips through the lush land of the Monnow Valleys. The town of Monmouth is 4 miles away and has a great deal to offer. Expect to see refined Georgian houses and decorative courtyards built in Victorian times dotted around the town. Of course, there's many quality shops to visit in Monmouth too and a good smattering of pubs and restaurants to try out through your holiday.

We wanted for nothing and Elissa is the perfect host â available but not intrusive. The property is very quiet and the grounds, where we were told we could exercise our 2 dogs, are extensive. Monmouth is a lovely town with excellent shops.

The location is set in beautiful countryside. The facilities are good. We have left a note with some suggestions that would bring our 4 star rating to five!
