About this property

5* Great for large groups in Wye Valley 9 double beds & 9 baths Pet friendly

This beautiful house and adjoining charming cottage are special and located in the most glorious peaceful pocket of England in the beautiful Wye Valley in between Hereford and Hay on Wye close to the River Wye. Accessible from the M5 and M50.

The hamlet of Monnington on Wye offers undisturbed tranquility and yet is easily connected to local activities nearby and on the Wye; superb farm shop at the top of the lane and great pubs all within 20 minutes drive.

The properties are supplied with high quality hypnos super king beds (zip and link) and luxurious 400 thread count Egyptian linen. This simple luxury allows you to rest and restore. Each bedroom has its own bathroom giving that extra bit of privacy. Monnington House and Garden Cottage have 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms including one ground floor bedroom and sleeps 18 if booked together with Listing No 107365696, The Cider Mill which sleeps 6, the combined total sleep can be 24.

The kitchen is well equipped and stocked and geared up for catering and numbers. The dining area seats 18 (24 by arrangement) both inside and outside. To help you entertain and cater there are 2 electric ovens, an aga during the winter months, 2 dishwashers and 3 fridge freezers plus large larder cupboard. We have a great local caterer who works in the house often and is surprisingly affordable and will enhance your stay. She has great reviews.

On site there is plenty to do- enjoy the large 2 acres of gardens and grounds which are private and quiet and play football in the huge playing fields. For rainy days and winter nights there is a rustic table tennis room and a games room with pool table and table football to enjoy in the outbuildings. Bring your fleece and wrap up.

There is wonderful walking straight from the door with a choice of trails available. Monnington on Wye is located on the Bredwardine to Byford Section of the Wye Valley Walk and also on the E1 part of the Wye Walker. Across the river guests enjoy Moccas Hill Wood National Nature Reserve where there is a large choice of walks suitable for all ages and abilities. For those who like to get their heart racing a trip of Hay Bluff is a must. After this great achievement you could retire to the Three Tunnes in Hay on Wye!

During the summer months the River Wye comes into its own. Guests love fishing and can obtain passes either from Bulmers Angling Club and fish on their beat at Monnington or apply to the Fishing Passport. Large group bookings often enjoy a full or half day canoeing or kayaking on the Wye which can include a suitable stop at a pub on the river bank for lunch. Wild swimming is increasingly popular. We can put you in touch with an expert.

Visits to the market towns of Hay on Wye, Presteigne and Leominster are enjoyed and for those who love a cathedral a visit to the Mappa Mundi in Hereford is a must. There are still many independent shops in these market towns and great galleries and cafes to visit. Trekking with the llamas in the Black Mountains is very therapeutic (book well in advance) and visits to the Small Breeds Farm at Kington just down the road is loved by young and old. For garden lovers the Weir Gardens on the banks of the Wye is spectacular and only 4 miles away. It has a lovely natural play area for children.

You can walk to the Red Lion at Bredwardine which takes a good hour. It serves food during the summer months. Guests also enjoy visiting the Stagg at Titley, The Kilpeck Inn and the Cider Barn in Pembridge.

Monnington House and Garden Cottage (and the Cider Mill) welcome groups from all over the UK and world. It is centrally based and easily reached from the Midlands, Bristol, South-west England, South-east England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Happy memories are here.

Dogs by arrangement. No wedding groups accepted and no groups of 30 year olds.

A great family Christmas
Our family of fourteen ranging in ages from thirteen to ninety one had a great Christmas in this outstanding property. We like a rural location and Monnington is certainly that, the house itself has been beautifully restored, the kitchen, dining area with underfloor heating, an aga , two ovens and two dishwashers with plenty of dishes, plates and implements meant that our party wanted for absolutely nothing. The goodies left for our arrival were most acceptable, it has to be said you could not fault this excellent property and the owners management of it. Thankyou Anna for making our Christmas one to remember.

Excellent!
Property was super, as expected. Plenty of room for all the family and enough areas to escape to if needed. Very well equipped and the play barn provided another outlet for the kids. Great location, quiet but not too isolated, Hay and Hereford easily reached. The weather meant that we stayed in for a couple of days but that was absolutely no problem. Anna was super as a property owner, checking we were ok and giving us tips for activities. Check in was seamless and overall the whole experience eas great. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Pearson Gregory

Host profile image
I am married to Hugh who was brought up at Monnington House. We have run Monnington House and the adjoining Garden Cottage which sleeps 18 for the last 10 years and recently introduced the Cider Mill which sleeps 6 and is listed with VRBO 10736505. We opened the Cider Mill in 2020. I used to run a national lettings agency. When not working I love being with my dogs which I breed, pottering in my garden, growing vegetables and cooking and being with my friends.

Why they chose this property

Monnington House and Garden Cottage are situated in a gorgeous hidden pocket of England. The house and adjoining cottage are very well laid out and is perfect for large groups. Request floor plans if interested. Few houses provide 9 spacious bedrooms each with their own bathrooms affording both luxury and privacy with superking zip and link beds and 400 count egyptian linen. The ground floor bedroom in Garden Cottage is perfect for those who dont do stairs. It has mobility 1 status awarded by Visit England. The kitchen in the main house is very popular as it is a very sociable room and totally geared up for large numbers with aga (winter months only) , 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers and 3 fridge freezers plus it is well equipped with pots, pans, glasses, crockery making entertaining fun and easy. The dining area seats 20 ( 24 by arrangement if taking the Cider Mill - vrbo no 10736596) comfortably. The garden and grounds are huge and amount to 2 acres or 3 acres if taking Cider MIll in addtion. House badminton is provided, 2 football goals in the playing field and a games room with pool table and table football plus a rustic table tennis room.

The walking from the house is fantastic. Step out of the door and straight onto the Wye Valley Walk. Canoeing the Wye is very popular during the summer months and during the winter we are seeing an increasing number of guests mountain biking. Lucky to have a pub within a good hours walk along the Wye Valley Walk at Bredwardine called the Red Lion which serves good local food. Dogs are accepted. There is a great farmshop 1.8 miles from the house which is fantastic called Oakchurch. You can buy great local meats and vegetables and also a good range of home made ready made food. We have great local caterers who work in the house often. They can make a weekend or week away very special and charge £40 per head for fully catered service and less for cook and drop off.
