About this property
In a peaceful Wye Valley hamlet near Chepstow, this hidden romantic retreat enjoys superb far-reaching views towards the Black Mountains. Cosy and private, with bags of character and charm, Orchard Cottage is an ideal bolt-hole for exploring the beautiful border countryside.
Situated in the peaceful, rural location of Penterry, a sleepy Wye Valley hamlet steeped in history, yet within 10 minutes drive of the M4, Orchard Cottage is truly a hidden sanctuary. From its prominent hillside position, glorious, far-reaching views towards the Black Mountains can be enjoyed from the flagstone sun terrace, and, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is easy access to the surrounding footpaths and bridleways, providing a haven for walkers and birdwatchers.
This chocolate box pretty cottage is extremely comfortable with an open-plan living area featuring a cosy sitting room with plenty of seating in front of the wood burning stove; a spacious dining area with french doors to the garden; along with a modern kitchen. The bedroom enjoys a super-king size bed and a bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.
Enjoy the garden and views all year round, with a barbecue for those balmy summer's days; and the warming firepit for those chilly autumnal evenings snuggled up in a warm blanket.
There are no limits to the nearby things to do, with castles, abbeys, caves and more. And foodies will be spoilt for choice from the selection of nearby award-winning restaurants and pubs. Orchard Cottage is a simply perfect choice for a romantic escape to this beautiful border countryside.
Also available to book at this location is Anne's Hut (sleeping two guests).

This charming little cottage next to the main house, run by extremely friendly hosts, is ideal for wonderfully relaxing days. It’s incredibly peaceful! Unpacking our hiking boots and walking straight to Tintern Abbey was our plan for the first day — perfect.

The cottage was in an amazing setting with beautiful views from every angle. The only sound was bird song. The cottage itself was picture perfect with roses round the door ,full of character & very comfortable. The owners were really helpful & friendly. The area is full of old footpaths which meant we could walk without using the car. Would recommend it to anyone wanting seeking peace & tranquility off the beaten track.
