Gardener’s Cottage at Mathern Palace - Chepstow

Gardener’s Cottage is a beautifully restored 19th-century hay barn located on the historic grounds of Mathern Palace - a Grade I* listed estate dating back to 1408. Once home to the Bishops of Llandaff, and later, renowned for its restoration by Interiors & Garden Expert of his time - Henry Avray Tipping in 1875.

Just a short walk away is a charming village pub (The Millers Arms) and plenty of countryside footpaths to explore. Gardener’s Cottage offers a modern, comfortable retreat perfect for discovering the Welsh countryside or after enjoying a day at the races.

The dining table comfortably seats four, providing an inviting space to eat, drink, and relax together. Upstairs, there is one master bathroom with a large, walk-in electric shower and two bedrooms; one a double bed and the other a twin room, which can be made up as a king bed on request. Perfect for families or groups of friends.

At the rear of the property is a large garden which is shared with the neighbouring cottage, The Potting Shed, with ample space for your dog or to enjoy a sundowner during in the warmer months.
