Anne's Hut is actually two luxurious shepherd's huts linked by a decking patio area, set in a green and totally secluded meadow and on the edge of a natural wood. Situated in the vicinity of the ancient settlement of Penterry, it really is the perfect retreat for two. If you're hoping to get away from it all, Anne's Hut plunges you into total seclusion amongst the greenery and the tranquillity of the Wye Valley. Equipped and furnished to a high standard, these shepherd's huts make ingenious use of space while including everything you need to enjoy your stay. One of the huts is the main living area, with cosy wood burning stove and modern amenities, while the other is the luxury bathroom. The huts are linked by a decking patio area. Below the huts is the fire pit, where you can try your hand at cooking outdoors or lounge in the comfy chairs and hammock. It is the ideal spot for relaxing after a day's exploration, listening to the birdsong of the evening chorus all around you. The ancient settlement of Penterry sits high on the hill between Chepstow and Tintern. From a spot just above Anne's Hut which once housed a Roman Fort you have a perfect 360 degree view featuring seven counties. Designated as an AONB, the local area is beautiful and steeped in history. Chepstow boasts the oldest stone built castle in the land and Tintern with its majestic Abbey and stunning setting is a must to see. For gastronomes, there is a Michelin restaurant just 20 minutes away and there are many excellent eateries close by. If castles are your thing then there are five within 20 minutes and Llanthony Priory which is outstandingly beautiful is just 40 minutes away. Also available to book at this location is Orchard Cottage (sleeping two guests). Additional Information: Sorry, no children or pets. Separate bathroom hut. The decking connecting the main shepherd's hut with the bathing and dressing hut is not enclosed. Two bicycles available on request. Guests are unable to park next to Anne's Hut but parking is available at the top of the track to the meadow. No WiFi, however 4G signal is good.
Fantastic stay. The accommodation is located on a farm, with the hut itself on a separate field and right next to woodland. There are some very nice walks close by, including to Tintern Abbey as well as the Eagle's Nest which gives great views over the Wye and Severn. The host was very friendly and provided everything we needed for our stay. Bedroom and kitchen is in one hut and as you would expect it does require a bit of 3D Tetris to move stuff around, but that is not going to bother most people. It was fun to spend the evenings cooking on the firepit and listening to the bird song. Chepstow is only 15 minutes by car and has some decent pubs and restaurants (but mostly crap veggie options). Just be warned, you will likely struggle getting a taxi (we had to hitchhike back to the farm!) Also the Airbnb listing is a bit out of date as there is WiFi. Definitely recommend.
Magnificent, magical and a lovely place to escape to. The dark skies with little light pollution made for some amazing views of the stars. The guy is beautiful located, wonderfully crafted and finished off to the highest standards I’ve ever seen. A must to stay, Euan was an amazing host and I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Information correct at time of writing.
The attractive historic town of Chepstow is four miles away, boasting one of the oldest stone built castles in Britain. While you're visiting Chepstow, don't miss Chepstow Racecourse – the venue hosts everything from food festivals to concerts.
The evocative ruins of Tintern Abbey are just two miles away. Immortalised in a poem by Wordsworth, the ruins are set in a beautiful wooded valley with plenty of walks to enjoy.
If Tintern whets your appetite for ruins, don't miss Raglan Castle near Monmouth. With a great tower, gatehouse and moat, this is everything a castle should be.
Further up the River Wye is the border market town of Monmouth, where you'll find a famous 13th century bridge stretching over the River Monnow as well as modern boutiques and galleries.
One of the delights of Monmouth is The Whitebrook, a Michelin-starred restaurant, but if you fancy creating a dish or two of your own, Usk Farmer's Market has lots of stalls offering fine, fresh produce. Markets are held every first and third Saturday of each month throughout the year.
If you'd like to take some exercise in the great outdoors, the Royal Forest of Dean has lots of cycle paths to explore, and you can hire off-road bikes here too. For an enjoyable stroll through the woodland, look out for signs for the sculpture trail.
Many award-winning restaurants and pubs are just a short drive away from Anne's Hut, as are two first class golf courses, St Pierre (10 minutes away) and Celtic Manor (25 minutes away).
In nearby Caerwent you'll find Dewstow House, a nineteenth century villa. But people visit more for the gardens than the property – see how many hidden grottoes you can discover.
