Beautiful, peaceful location, perfect for walking. Lovely hosts. Get in close contact with nature on your doorstep, literally, deer at night in the garden a d lots of bird life! Nearest town for food shop is Monmouth. No WiFi and intermittent phone signal due to location, so if you want to escape, this is your place

We had a lovely weekend in the Garden House. It was very cosy, had everything we needed and was in a beautiful setting. The hosts were charming and very helpful. It was easy to get to the nearby towns of Chepstow and Monmouth and also Symonds Yat where we had a good day out walking by the river and through the woods.
