    “We had a wonderful week in the Old Monmouth.”

    Fantastic House in a great location. Lovely and clean and very comfortable. Perfect our two families with teens who could be pretty independent. The Ship Inn became a regular favourite, only 1 minute from the door. Only comment would be to leave a few more purple sacks fot the bins (or make it clear that the clear ones will also be collected). Luckily with 3 bin collections in the week we worked this out ourselves in the end. Other than that, absolutely fab.

The lounge is a truly striking room with inglenook fireplace and high ceiling with beams. A smaller drawing room offers a separate room to retreat to with the wood burning stove giving a cosy feel. A staircase leads to the lower ground floor with a large family kitchen with Belfast sink and range style oven, and an adjoining dining room making this property adequately equipped to cater for up to 12 guests.
