Monnow River Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Monnow River Cottage. The cottage, though small, was plenty big enough for two people. The conservatory was a lovely place in which to relax. The gardens are superb with pathways leading to meadows, orchards and of course the River Monnow. We were blessed with wonderful weather so did not venture far. The icing on the cake was Tivy and Steve. Never obtrusive but there if needed. Not being experts at lighting log fires Tivy came round each evening to light the fire for us. A nice comforting end to a very enjoyable day. Steve even took time to show us around the mill.

We had such a lovely relaxed week in Longtown. The cottage is really elegant with so many small touches that really finish it beautifully. It was wonderful to come into a lit fire and flowers everywhere. The kitchen is small but very easy to cook in, and the local shop is well stocked. The setting is great with pubs that are walkable, and walks for every ability. It was a lovely place just to sit and read in the sunshine on bright days or sit in front of the fire in cooler nights after star gazing. Thank you so much for having us!

We felt really welcome and well looked after and find it hard to imagine what could be improved, bearing in mind the size and age of the cottage. It was very comfortable and peaceful and the surroundings were lovely.

Fabulous cottage, superbly appointed - generous welcome basket and fragrant garden flowers in every room. Hosts so kind and thoughtful. Absolutely recommend a stay here. We loved it so much we spent all our time in the beautiful gardens and roaming the fields - too lovely to leave. Excellent shop with friendliest staff and stocks everything you could possibly need and every holiday treat too. We will definitely be back

A great week in a lovely property where attention to detail is excellent. Very attractive and comfortable furnishings throughout and the garden is a sheer delight. We enjoyed walking amongst the hens, through the orchard and down by the river. Sitting in the garden in the evening with a G & T was a perfect end to our days out. Steve & Tivy were excellent hosts and we really appreciated the welcome pack with many local products.
