Monnow River Cottage

Romantic water-side retreat for two in the Black mountains. Luxury cottage set in beautiful gardens and protected wildflower meadows. A place to sit and relax.

Linen bedding, fluffy white towels, welcome hamper. Relax in front of a wood burning fire. The cottage is a converted bakehouse which was used to make bread for the village well into the 20th century. It sits next to The Mill House in a peaceful garden setting and overlooks the mill building. Inside, you’ll be welcomed with a hamper full of local produce and a choice of wine or Prosecco. The flags

tone entrance hall has room for boots and coats. Off the hallway are the kitchen and bathroom which are built on the site of the original bread ovens. The kitchen, which overlooks a private patio, is equipped with a halogen ceramic hob, electric oven, Belfast sink, microwave and fridge/freezer. The bathroom has WC, wash-basin, shower and washing machine. The large beamed living room overlooks the beautiful cottage gardens of lawns and herbaceous borders. Enjoy a afternoon drink or lunch on the lawns. Inside the cottage settle down on the comfortable sofa in front of the log burning stove and a TV/DVD player. A selection of books and DVD’s and board games offer alternative entertainment if you decide to stay in. Off the sitting room and overlooking the kitchen garden and old orchard is a large, bright sunroom with more comfortable seating and another dining table. French doors from the sunroom lead onto a sunny patio, perfect for breakfast or a coffee with papers bought from the award-winning local village shop, Hopes. Or an ideal place to simply relax, watching the energetic garden birds at their feeders. Upstairs is a spacious oak beamed double aspect bedroom. There is an ensuite toilet with an airing cupboard. In the bedroom further cupboards allow plenty of storage. A Perfect Setting
Alongside the ancient 18ft mill wheel is a lovely private garden for you to enjoy. A sloping lawn leads to a paved area enclosed by a high stone wall and the waterwheel. It has a table, benches and a chiminea barbecue. The view is towards the river, fields and the Black Mountains in the distance. You can also enjoy our protected wild flower meadows for picnics by the river, spotting a kingfisher or fishing for wild brown trout - a fishing licence can be bought from Longtown Post Office. This is a perfect place to relax in the evening over a glass of wine. Alternatively, a 15min walk to the Cornewall Arms. A traditional heritage pub which offers a selection of real ales. Catch up with the friendly locals even joinin with a game of cards or quoits.

A really lovely cottage with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Totally relaxing, beautiful garden and grounds with the River Monnow gently flowing by. Tivy and Steve are such a lovely couple and thought of everything to make my stay so memorable and I can’t thank them enough.

We like to fill with fresh flowers to welcome our guests.
Happy to say the practice has come in rather handy with our entries for the Longtown village show.
All the flowers are grown in our gardens. Lots for you to enjoy.

Our second visit to this delightful, peaceful well equipped cottage. Welcoming provisions, a meadow walk along the river and pretty, mature gardens add to the tranquility. A further repeat visit is a must.

Our third visit to Monnow River Cottage. The garden is as lovely as ever. Perfect for guilt-free relaxing after a day's hill-walking. Our tired legs and bodies appreciated the new-this-season linen bedlinen.

We planted the Laburnum, or Golden Chain about 6 yrs ago. Three of them in total. And late Spring, they are absolutely covered in the most beautiful flowers, buzzing with bees and insects. And in the evening light, the flowers seem to glow iridescently. Quite stunning.

The orchids are incredible this year. I can only assume they’ve enjoyed the wet mild spring. Absolutely glorious this year.
