This beautiful house and adjoining charming cottage are special and located in the most glorious peaceful pocket of England in the beautiful Wye Valley in between Hereford and Hay on Wye close to the River Wye. Accessible from the M5 and M50.

The hamlet of Monnington on Wye offers undisturbed tranquility and yet is easily connected to local activities nearby and on the Wye; superb farm shop at the top of the lane and great pubs all within 20 minutes drive.

The properties are supplied with high quality hypnos super king beds (zip and link) and luxurious 400 thread count Egyptian linen. This simple luxury allows you to rest and restore. Each bedroom has its own bathroom giving that extra bit of privacy. Monnington House and Garden Cottage have 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms including one ground floor bedroom and sleeps 18 if booked together with Listing No 107365696, The Cider Mill which sleeps 6, the combined total sleep can be 24.

The kitchen is well equipped and stocked and geared up for catering and numbers. The dining area seats 18 (24 by arrangement) both inside and outside. To help you entertain and cater there are 2 electric ovens, an aga during the winter months, 2 dishwashers and 3 fridge freezers plus large larder cupboard. We have a great local caterer who works in the house often and is surprisingly affordable and will enhance your stay. She has great reviews.

On site there is plenty to do- enjoy the large 2 acres of gardens and grounds which are private and quiet and play football in the huge playing fields. For rainy days and winter nights there is a rustic table tennis room and a games room with pool table and table football to enjoy in the outbuildings. Bring your fleece and wrap up.

There is wonderful walking straight from the door with a choice of trails available. Monnington on Wye is located on the Bredwardine to Byford Section of the Wye Valley Walk and also on the E1 part of the Wye Walker. Across the river guests enjoy Moccas Hill Wood National Nature Reserve where there is a large choice of walks suitable for all ages and abilities. For those who like to get their heart racing a trip of Hay Bluff is a must. After this great achievement you could retire to the Three Tunnes in Hay on Wye!

During the summer months the River Wye comes into its own. Guests love fishing and can obtain passes either from Bulmers Angling Club and fish on their beat at Monnington or apply to the Fishing Passport. Large group bookings often enjoy a full or half day canoeing or kayaking on the Wye which can include a suitable stop at a pub on the river bank for lunch. Wild swimming is increasingly popular. We can put you in touch with an expert.

Visits to the market towns of Hay on Wye, Presteigne and Leominster are enjoyed and for those who love a cathedral a visit to the Mappa Mundi in Hereford is a must. There are still many independent shops in these market towns and great galleries and cafes to visit. Trekking with the llamas in the Black Mountains is very therapeutic (book well in advance) and visits to the Small Breeds Farm at Kington just down the road is loved by young and old. For garden lovers the Weir Gardens on the banks of the Wye is spectacular and only 4 miles away. It has a lovely natural play area for children.

You can walk to the Red Lion at Bredwardine which takes a good hour. It serves food during the summer months. Guests also enjoy visiting the Stagg at Titley, The Kilpeck Inn and the Cider Barn in Pembridge.
