The Kymin Stables, nestled in Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales, offer a unique holiday accommodation experience, comfortably sleeping up to four guests. These stables, constructed over 200 years ago, have been thoughtfully converted into a cozy retreat that boasts a prime location above the picturesque Wye Valley. Situated near the iconic Kymin Round House and surrounded by a private garden, the stables provide a serene atmosphere just a stone’s throw from the historic Naval Temple, a tribute to the British Navy.
The single-level accommodation features a welcoming living room, a dining kitchen, two well-appointed bedrooms, and a bathroom, ensuring a convenient stay for visitors. Outdoor amenities include a charming seating area, a small pond that attracts local wildlife, and ample garden space for recreational activities. Guests can easily access the stables via a local track, with the added convenience of two private parking spaces available on-site.
Nature enthusiasts will find the surrounding area to be a treasure trove of exploration, with ancient woodlands offering scenic walking paths and tranquil seating spots. The renowned Offa’s Dyke trail is just a short distance away, providing opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation. The region is home to diverse fauna, including tawny owls, badgers, and various species of bats. Visitors may also encounter the rare red wood ant among the Scots Pine trees, and have the chance to spot wild boar from the nearby Forest of Dean, as well as majestic buzzards and peregrine falcons soaring overhead.
The historical significance of the Kymin area is further highlighted by the nearby Kymin Round House, established in 1794 by local gentlemen as a banqueting hall, with the stables added shortly thereafter. This group also created a bowling green that remains a popular spot for outdoor games today, along with the Naval Temple, built in 1800 and famously visited by Admiral Nelson. The Kymin Stables not only offer a comfortable stay but also immerse guests in the rich history and natural beauty of the Welsh countryside.
