Donkey Shed

From the moment we arrived to the amazing view from the Donkey shed, we felt relaxed and at home. The accommodation was really nice and had everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds, a great shower, huge bath and again those amazing views through the full height windows of the living area. We walked in the wonderful countryside from the lodge itself and from a little further afield at Monmouth and Tintern. We also enjoyed a spectacular drive over the gospel pass to Hay on Wye; not for the faint-hearted. We hope to be back soon, Autumn must be spectacular here!

Our second visit! We love the Donkey Shed! The situation is beautiful and the views are wonderful. We like walking from the house . The house is well equipped but feels homely and comfortable. The herbs outside are useful too. Catherine and Hugh are great hosts. They are never intrusive but available if you need help as I did to get the oven to work! I particularly enjoy the little touches like flowers and grasses in vases and the soap which is made locally and smells lovely. The welcome gifts included eggs, local Beer and home made cookies. Altogether a wonderful place for a break.

Such a wonderful holiday house - the best views with so much wildlife (we loved the fox and deer most evenings). Really cosy and comfortable inside and felt so remote and quiet. Completely relaxing and would love to go back. The restaurant down in the village is walkable too if you don’t mind a hill - we had the tasting menu which is first class. Highly recommended

What an amazing location for a holiday! The Donkey Shed is a lovely self catering house; beautifully designed, thoughtfully furnished, comfortable and clean. And then to top it off the view of the Wye Valley is breath-taking! We particularly enjoyed dawn when you look out over the top of the clouds filling the valley below, or the early evening when deer grazed in the near-by fields, or during the day watching the swallows gracefully dancing overhead. Catherine and Hugh are so welcoming and friendly, and were really accommodating.

To the delightful owners, Catherine and Hugh, the Donkey Shed is their pride and joy - and you can absolutely see why. Stylishly designed to make the most of the space, it has floor-to-ceiling windows from which to enjoy rural views across the Wye Valley. Comfortable and warm (plenty of logs provided for the log burner) and very well-equipped, the Donkey Shed is immaculately presented and spotlessly clean with lots of little touches to make you feel welcome. We have stayed in many self-catering cottages over the years and this is well up there with the best of them.
