Our third stay at Tintern Abbey Cottage
By Gary Woodruff on 02-May-2025Many thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your lovely cottage. We keep forgetting that the shops and most cafes shut in Tintern on a Tuesday excepth The White Monk and The anchor, just so that her visitors to the cottage are aware. But, many good walks. Thank you The Woodruffs.
Great character cottage with a superb view
By Stuart Wilson on 18-Apr-2025We’ve had a lovely week here- it’s a great location with a super view of The Abbey We can highly recommend the pub food (Anchor) the breakfast at the White Monk Cafe. All very friendly and Tintern has good facilities and great walks A trek up to the Devils Pulpit is well worth it for the view Most things are a 20-30 minutes drive -canoeing the Wye is recommended as a day out and we also enjoyed Monmouth and the Sculpture Trail Lovely cottage, great character and a super relaxing stay! Thank you Jo, Stuart and Fraser Wilson
