The Manor on the Monnow

You can holiday like King Henry V himself (he was born in the town) in this brilliant baroque Manor House on the banks of the River Monnow, a 10 minute walk from Monmouth Castle and all the independent shops, cafes and bars that make Monmouth one of the top 3 places to live in the UK, according to the Sunday Times.

Indoors there's more than enough space to sleep 22, with a couple of cots for the under 3's. 7 of the bedrooms have their own bathroom while 4 bedrooms share two more. Bedroom 11, a twin room, is on the ground floor with it's own loo and shower room nearby. Bedroom 10 is a large twin ensuite bedroom also accessed from the ground floor via 4 wide steps.

You'll love The Great Hall with its wood burner, satellite TV, DVD player and music system, while the light and airy dining room sits all of you around the table for those memorable celebration meals. The kitchen and breakfast room make entertaining a breeze and keep the toughest chefs happy.

On site, there's loads to keep the group happy: a games room with table tennis, pool, table football and more; a hot tub to unwind after a day's walking, canoeing or cycling in the nearby Wye Valley and Forest of Dean; a barbecue area and plenty of outdoor seating where you can relax and listen to the River Monnow slowly wind  its way downstream to join the River Wye. Is there much to do?  More than you can imagine.

It's everything you'd want for a really great holiday: perfect for families and friends.

The local area

The nearby facilities are superb: 10 minutes walk will take you to a half a dozen excellent pubs and eateries, an Indian restaurant, Aslans fish and chips,  and the Monnow Trail for fantastic walking. If you bring your pets you can walk straight from the door and you don't need to cross a road - wonderful and the site is fenced and gated so your little loved ones are safe - plus as you're at the very end of the lane there's no busy traffic to deal with.
