The Old Granary (ref UK12135) is a renovated farm building that has gone under major work to make it a well thought out property, perfect for families and groups. The entrance way still has the original stone work, which gives the property character. On the ground floor you have three double bedrooms which are all very light and airy. The living/dining room and modern kitchen are situated on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a great space that has been designed perfectly for a children’s play area, with games, bean bags, a TV and Playstation 2.
The Old Laundry (ref UK12136) consists of a spacious open plan living space with a wood burner, which keeps the space cosy and welcoming in the winter. Patio doors lead off the living area to a patio and private garden space, which is ideal for spending time outside in the summer months. Upstairs you have two, well-proportioned and well-equipped double bedrooms, one with the ability to be set up as a twin room.
The Chicken Coop (UK12137) is all on one level and has been finished to a high standard, and is the perfect getaway to kick back and relax in. You enter the property through a small porch and are instantly met by a large spacious kitchen area which is modern and fully equipped. The living area has a lovely wood burner which gives a glowing warmth to the property in the winter months. Both bedrooms are fitted with TV’s and offer a high level of comfort, and there is also a wet room giving easier access to facilities. Outside, there is a very large garden that is shared with one other property, but there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. There is also an interconnecting door that connects to The Old Granary, perfect for large groups.
The property is nestled in the village of Hewelsfield and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. This border territory is marked by stunning scenery and has brooding castles at Chepstow and Raglan. Explore the market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth, or enjoy excellent walking in the Forest of Dean and along the riverbank. Fishing, horse riding, cycling and canoeing are readily available. The area is wonderful for sightseeing and touring, and easily reached year round. Chepstow’s racecourse and excellent golf courses are also nearby. Shop 1½ miles, pub 2 miles and restaurant 2¾ miles.

Staying at the Old Laundry was good. It helped us when staying locally while our dog received his radiotherapy treatment.It was a very peaceful location and served our needs for this particular stay.Very thankful to the owners for allowing us to use and enjoy their property.Would return in the future if our dog needs further treatment or to even explore the surrounding area more.

A beautiful cottage , well appointed and very comfortable.
A beautiful cottage , well appointed and very comfortable.Nervous drivers may not like the very narrow roads round about but once at the cottage they are worth risking .More Information on local amenities/ places to visit would have helped plan our days out .Closures of shops , attractions ( Tintern especially) on Monday and Tuesday was puzzling in view of limited tourist attractions in the area

What a gem! Beautifully equipped, high quality furniture, beds, kitchen items etc.
What a gem! Beautifully equipped, high quality furniture, beds, kitchen items etc. Would definitely return. 5 stars *****
The Old Laundry was very welcoming. It was warm, cosy and very clean throughout and was well-equipped with everything we needed. There were even spare towels for drying the dog! The property was very tastefully decorated and the beds were extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
The house was very warm, comfortably furnished and beautifully situated on the edge of the farm. Very quiet with lovely views and facilities. Our dog loved the walled garden which was a lovely place to take him to play. Ours was a short break to celebrate retirement, and we hope to return. Perfect. Thank you.
This cottage is of the highest standard, we will be booking again.

What a place!!! The Old Laundry is an absolutely gem of a place to stay.
What a place!!! The Old Laundry is an absolutely gem of a place to stay. The cottage itself is done to such a high standard from top to bottom, that you could pray for rain to enjoy the cottage for longer. It is equipped with quality items, furnishings and bedding throughout. The owners are friendly and helpful, without being in your face, giving us fresh eggs and even though a very busy farmer, made time to show us around his cattle and farm. There is a walled paddock area, where our dog had lots of running space to play in, he was kept on his lead outside this area. We were lucky enough to have a Goldcrest land near us in the paddock and then hop onto my wife's hand for a selfie (see photos).
The local area has plenty to offer, we will be returning in the spring to further explore and enjoy the cottage.
