We had a really good time at this cottage the bedrooms are lovely and really comfortable. Big bonus that they are both double bedrooms! The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils, and the cottage has ample games, DVDs and a smart TV for nights in. The views are amazing and it is so relaxing just being there. A word of warning the road to access the cottage is very narrow and difficult to do in the dark, which is what we did! I think the instructions need to be slightly better because photographs were referenced in the email I received but I couldn't find any photos so we had to guess a couple of things. All in all we loved staying here and would do so again.

The cottage has a great location to profit of the nature and peace. The view from the cottage is beautiful. And Jean is a great host. Listening and attention for her guests look important and we thank her.

A truly wonderful stay with a magnificent view. Plenty of garden to relax in and therefore excellent time to become more grounded. Once you get settled in to the tight roads it really does become a pleasure to be at the property. Good weather makes it a delight but places of interest are close by.

We had a lovely stay here. Stunning views from the cottage and was all very cosy and well-equipped. Great walks nearby and a pub within walking distance. We used the fire in the living room but it doesn't draw very well, so the room got very smoky (but might be my fire-making skills not being up to scratch!). Not the easiest to get to, especially if you have a large car. You'll need the directions, as it's really tucked away.

We enjoyed staying at Bank House it was so peaceful. Listening to the birds whilst enjoying the views wonderful. Lots of places to sit in the garden. Only thing missing were a couple of recliner chairs to collapse into to relax, snooze, after a long day walking. We were lucky with the weather too so all good. The house was well equipped with information and how everything worked etc. contact with host very good. Garden fine for dogs. The area is absolutely beautiful and we hope to come again.

This was just what we needed. Set in a beautiful location with stunning views. The terrace area was fantastic and we even managed to have a little bit of sunshine! Would love to come back again. Have already told the rest of the family how fantastic it was - so they might be booking soon!

This is the second time here, only better as we're getting more familiar with the area and discovering more walks without having to drive anywhere. It's a lovely warm welcome with a complimentary bottle of wine. The only thing I disliked was coming home...

Lovely character, very cosy and very well equipped. The views were fantastic. We’ll come again, when warmer, to take full advantage of the outdoor decking area. Thank you for a much needed break away.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and stunning views. There's plenty of dog walks nearby and the garden is dog proof, so they can't escape. We've a small jack Russel and she couldn't get out. No shops nearby. Closest supermarket is around 5 miles away, so next time we go we'll be better prepared. We have absolutely no complaints, except there wasn't a potato peeler, was a bit of a nuisance having to use a knife, but hardly something to complain about. We've booked again in March.

We have visited Bank Cottage in the past years. It is a lovely cosy cottage, well maintained and has everything you need for any length of stay. The views are so beautiful no matter what time of year you visit. Our stay was full of great walks in the Wye Valley Forest and we actually found the Cleddon Falls which was an amazing walk. Our dog enjoyed all the excercise and made himself at home in the evening next to the log fire. I would highly recommend Bank Cottage. The host is very helpful and always answers any questions you may have. Will defo be booking to stay again next year. Plenty to do for the children on a wet day, plenty of games and Dvds available. A very cosy cottage, quiet and peaceful away from everything. Great garden too very safe for dogs and children.

The best thing about this property is the stunning views of the Wye Valley. I can't imagine anything better than sitting on the terrace in the summer enjoying those views! The property itself is lovely, clean and well presented. Well equipped - the only thing missing is an electric kettle - the stove top one is nice but takes an age to boil and rather noisy when you are trying to make a quiet cup of tea first thing in the morning!! Beds were clean and very comfortable. Water pressure for the shower not great. The location is very quiet. It's at the end of a very narrow lane, with some sharp bends, bigger cars may have trouble! The owner provides clear instructions on how to find it. Nothing really going on in the village; the village has closed and the pub is uninviting and has no character. There is a footpath leading down to the village but is very steep and care should be taken when wet and cold. If you don't mind a climb, there are lots of walks from the door.

A great cottage, perfect for our getaway. I found tricky to find in the dark, so make sure you are prepped with directions from owner (worked in daylight) plus back up e.g. what3words

Arrived at 21:30 in the pitch black and to see the sun rise over the Wye valley from the terrace the next morning was worth every penny. We had a lovely break walking around the forest of Dean and the Anchor at Tintern, next to the Abbey is good place for a meal.

Just had a most enjoyable week with our dog at Bank Cottage. This is our third stay here as the location and the accommodation is first class. There is so much to do on the Wye be it walking, canoeing or taking a boat trip. After busy days we were able to come back and enjoy the sun deck under a canopy overlooking the valley - if you are deciding where to stay just book this -you won’t be disappointed!

We were so pleased to find this little gem of a cottage at short notice. It’s in a beautiful area, has a lovely garden and the view is fantastic. The house itself has everything you would need. The nearest supermarket is a Lidl around 15 mins away. There is a village shop but that’s closed and looks like it has been for some time. We would love to come again!

Beautiful cottage the kitchen has a step up to the preparation area it is a big step and it’s the same lovely flooring all over but it’s sometimes hard to see the step my husband fell of it (no alcohol involved) and I have eye problems maybe a strip of colour on the top one would sort it out,and I think it would be useful to mention that there are a lot of steps in the property.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage, just everything that you could want was included. Especially enjoyed our breakfast and evening class of wine sat on elevated decking. Played Crib and cards there most nights. Getting to the property a bit tricky, need good clutch and brake control. However didn't bother me. Just fabulous.

The best view we have ever had from a holiday let. The property was great for us. We knew the area well and would choose to return to Bank Cottage again. With the family we would wait until the grandchildren are school age plus and if the weather was good we would bring the dog next time. Information inside the cottage was clear and useful.

My mum (70) and I (37), plus my dog, had a wonderful stay at Bank Cottage over the Coronation weekend. We'd planned to do some walking around the Wye Valley. We did a lovely 10km hike around the woods above the cottage, parking at Whitestone car park rather than scrambling up the hill, and another circuit from the cottage to Redbrook via the OD path and back along the Wye Valley Trail - both of which we'd thoroughly recommend. The footbridge at Tintern is closed so we couldn't walk along the OD Path downriver, so made do with a lovely meal at Abbey Mill Coffee House in Tintern. Symonds Yat is a lovely trip for an afternoon out too. The instructions Jean provided to the cottage were helpful but we hadn't appreciated how narrow or steep the local lanes are! Take your slippers as the cottage has stone flooring and lots of steps both inside and out! We did our food shopping on our way to Llandogo, but forgot a couple of bits so had to pop into the shops in Tintern/Redbrook to pick up what we needed as the village shop is still shut. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Sloop Inn (they recommend phoning to book or contacting them via FB as their website is unreliable), although we didn't fancy the scramble back up to the cottage so took the car down and used their car park. The cottage has everything we could have possibly wanted/needed and more. When we weren't out hiking, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a glass of something fizzy whilst the dog charged around the garden.

If you're looking for somewhere to stay, look no further and book Bank Cottage now! Truly a wonderful property with everything you could need for a relaxing time away. Stunning and large garden, incredible views, and lots to do within walking range. As a Canadian in Wales, I definitely felt at home with all the usual amenities, and even found an adapter when I stupidly forgot mine! Jean is a wonderful host.

The cottage was very cozy and comfortable. There were walks right outside the door and we enjoyed walking to the local pub. Come with provisions as there is currently no grocer in town. Communication with the owner was very easy. Would stay again.
