We had a lovely weekend in the Garden House. It was very cosy, had everything we needed and was in a beautiful setting. The hosts were charming and very helpful. It was easy to get to the nearby towns of Chepstow and Monmouth and also Symonds Yat where we had a good day out walking by the river and through the woods.
