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.

A beautiful cosy cottage. I spent Christmas at the cottage and couldn't have been more perfect. Very high standard in a wonderful rural location with wooded walks right on the doorstep. This was my first solo time away - the owners were very kind and checked in on me during my time there. Highly recommend

We spent a wonderful relaxing week in this peaceful and very beautiful part of Monmouthshire. The owners were delightful and generous, plenty of wood for the fire which we lit one or two evenings as it started to turn a little chilly...advice on places to visit, and generally kind and relaxed, there to help but never intrusive. Betty the dog was a delight!! The cottage is well appointed, we had everything we needed, lovely hamper awaited us, a great shower, wonderful comfortable bed. At night all you hear are noises of the natural world, no traffic, just blissful...slept soundly. We are our little dog had a great week. The area is outstanding for walkers and bike trails through the surrounding countryside. Highly recommended.
