  • The potting shed was beautiful, very comfortable, and in a quiet peaceful setting. It was a perfect location for us as we were guests at a wedding at St Tewdrics House. We couldn’t fault it.

  • We had a delightful time. The cottage was charming and beautifully decorated. It was also wonderfully stocked with everything we needed.

  • Tranquil location, beautiful cottage in grounds of Mathern Palace. Lovely decor, comfy beds and light, airy kitchen/dining area. Not too far from chepstow. We were actually attending a wedding function at nearby St Tewdrics House and hadn't realised the ceremony was at the village church, literally next door. Village pub (Millers Arms) has good choice of meals. Very helpful and friendly host. Easy check-in, helpful instructions and directions to property. Thanks Charlotte.
