Fabulous week full of sunshine, pubs and walks. Ventured to Cardiff by train and Dean Forest railway sell worth a ride on a steam train. Bike hire from Parkend for half a day was good fun as was canoeing for half a day from Monmouth Canoes. All very exhausting so replenished stocks at The Fountain -great Sunday roast and The Anchor. Cottage excellent to come home to, particularly happy hour in the sun trap in the back garden. Relaxing week had by all. Ta very much Fiona and Malcolm Scales party East Sussex Scales party - June 2015

Second time here – a beautiful, peaceful spot and great cottage. Went to MONMOUTH- lovely town for a wander round. Ate at The Foxhunter in Nantyderry and The Black Bear in Bettws Neuwedd – both lovely meals but worth booking as both busy. Took a walk around Bettws Neuwedd- go to the Bluebell woods at the top of the hill and to the church with its 4000 year old Yew. Will certainly be back Allison and Tom Kelly Painton Devon Allison and Tom Kelly -

The owners can be justifiably proud of this beautifully renovated cottage. It has been wonderful to look out of the windows and see Tintern Abbey just over the road. We have been blessed with beautiful weather and have seen the Eye valley at its best. Thank you Fiona and Malcolm for the came, Welsh cakes, flowers, Australian flag, an attractively set table and other touches all aimed at naking ys feel at home. AS we are from Australia, we probably will not be back, but weve had a memorable time here. Thank you! Bradley Class Mont Albert Victoria Australia Bradley Class -
