Guests say
Guests consistently praise The Chicken Coop for its cleanliness, well-equipped facilities, and comfortable furnishings. The peaceful location is appreciated for its access to local attractions, though a car is necessary due to narrow lanes. The property's character and thoughtful touches, such as a welcome pack, contribute to a highly recommended and relaxing stay.
Reviewers unanimously mention the property's superb cleanliness, noting that everything was 'super clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating a very high standard of hygiene.
The location is described as good, peaceful, and ideal for accessing local sights, though the mention of narrow lanes suggests a car is essential. The lack of negative comments about the location supports a high score.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of quality furnishings and comfortable beds. One guest's preference for a shower over a wet-room is a minor point that does not significantly detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities are frequently praised for being well-equipped and maintained, with everything guests could need. Only a single minor suggestion for better reading lights slightly affects the score.
Thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of a welcome pack and personal touches. While these are highly appreciated, it is noted that such gestures, though delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The entrance way still has the original stone work, which gives the property character. On the ground floor you have three double bedrooms which are all very light and airy. The living/dining room and modern kitchen are situated on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a great space that has been designed perfectly for a children’s play area, with games, bean bags, a TV and Playstation 2.
The Old Laundry (ref UK12136) consists of a spacious open plan living space with a wood burner, which keeps the space cosy and welcoming in the winter. Patio doors lead off the living area to a patio and private garden space, which is ideal for spending time outside in the summer months. Upstairs you have two, well-proportioned and well-equipped double bedrooms, one with the ability to be set up as a twin room.
The Chicken Coop (UK12137) is all on one level and has been finished to a high standard, and is the perfect getaway to kick back and relax in. You enter the property through a small porch and are instantly met by a large spacious kitchen area which is modern and fully equipped. The living area has a lovely wood burner which gives a glowing warmth to the property in the winter months. Both bedrooms are fitted with TV’s and offer a high level of comfort, and there is also a wet room giving easier access to facilities. Outside, there is a very large garden that is shared with one other property, but there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. There is also an interconnecting door that connects to The Old Granary, perfect for large groups.
The property is nestled in the village of Hewelsfield and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. This border territory is marked by stunning scenery and has brooding castles at Chepstow and Raglan. Explore the market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth, or enjoy excellent walking in the Forest of Dean and along the riverbank. Fishing, horse riding, cycling and canoeing are readily available. The area is wonderful for sightseeing and touring, and easily reached year round. Chepstow’s racecourse and excellent golf courses are also nearby. Shop 1½ miles, pub 2 miles and restaurant 2¾ miles.

We spent 7 nights at the accommodation, arriving Friday evening after 5 p.m. and leaving the following Friday morning, shortly after 9 a.m. The accommodation is spacious and has character. My wife is partially sighted, so the cosy but dimly lit light bulbs did not help. You have absolutley everything: freezer, fridge, washing machine, cupboard space, crockery, pans etc. Everything was super clean. On our arrival, we found a vase of freshly cut flowers, a variety of teas, coffee and biscuits. We experienced some minor problems which Terri (owner) quickly remedied. The guest book made for interesting readng, and there was not a single negative review, In fact, some of the guests returned multiple times. The location is good but the lanes are narrow. One must have a car to enjoy the scenery. There is ample car parking. Outside there is even an outside barbecue. Inside the property, there is a wood burning stove which we did not make use of. We explored Bristol, the steam railway in Cheltenham, the old docks in Lydney, and the city of Gloucester is well worth a visit. Where possible, we made use of the towns' P&R.Should we return to that neck of the woods, we would consider staying there again or one of the other two converted properties. It has however a wet-room but my personal preference is a shower. For Christians there is a beautiful Christian fellowship on Swan Street in Lydney, where we were made welcome. No hesitatiion in recommending the property.
