The cottage was totally renovated during 2009 from a wreck to a top of the range standard. It gained its five star award plus Walkers and Cyclists awards from the Visit Wales inspector on 19 November 2009. We have since gained the Croeso Cynnes Cymreig ( A Warm Welsh Welcome) award for our hospitality. Less than one year from receiving its first visitors Tintern Abbey Cottage won the highly prestigious Best Place to Stay in Wales Award given by Visit Wales ( our award was for a small self catering place as opposed to a self catering complex or an hotel which have their own awards). A Green Tourism Business award followed fast behind, also at Gold ( Highest) level. In 2012 were were top three Finalists in Monmouthshires Best Rural Business Awards.
Originating from the 18th century, Tintern Abbey Cottage is chocolate box cute and has been transformed into a smartly contemporary and deliciously comfortable holiday house in an ancient body. Right across the road from the mighty roofless Abbey, of which it has glorious panoramic views,(now there's a renovation project!) the photos above shows how amazingly close we are to it! The cottage directly adjoins the Wye Valley Walk, is in the heart of the ancient conservation area of Tintern and yes, there are several pubs a couple of small cafes and three hotels in easy strolling distance -all offering food and several featuring local produce. The village even has a prizewinning vineyard and a microbrewery both open to visitors! Also in the village are a craft centre and small shops. There's a bus stop at the bottom of our drive so you could walk along the wonderful Wye Valley or visit Chepstow Castle or Racecourse and get a bus back.
