We had a lovely little stay here and really enjoyed it. The lodge was lovely and clean, peaceful and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. We especially loved the little welcome pack, including the fresh eggs from their own chickens such a lovely personal touch!
What an amazing place to stay, very relaxed and quiet. The Lodge is very well equipped and the owners were fantastic. Lovely little welcome pack on arrival. Every where was clean and tidy on arrival and easy to keep that way.
We had a lovely short break at Bottom Lodge. The location is idyllic, and my children loved the hot tub. We ate out in both local pubs and the food was excellent in both. Using the what 3 words for navigation takes you straight to the door, however be warned google maps took us down single track roads you had to reverse back down if you saw another car. It wasnt until a few days in I realised there was a longer and less perilous route out of the village. I would recommend and would stay again.
Absolutely loved our weekend here. The lodge is perfect, the location is stunning and the owners and their dogs! were lovely. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
Very nice accommodation, dropped a point for cleanliness because of cobwebs around the lodge, nice quiet area, easy to find, host was friendly and welcoming, on hand if we needed anything, would love to go back.
A nice welcome pack with fresh free range eggs from their own hens, and everything for making a hot drink. A lovely location, the local pub only a mile away The Woodlands Tavern was very good for home made food. The hot tub was a bonus. Nick and Mary
Incredible. We had a fantastic stay, the whole property has been done so nicely with all the facilities you could need. We stayed for a week and wanted for absolutely nothing. The hot tub is blissful, the location beautiful and the hosts generous. We really appreciated the local produce and detailed book of local attractions shops etc. we have already said we will be coming back for sure. The only tiny thing to note is that this is a dog friendly accomodation, I am very allergic and the cushions did have quite a lot of dog hair on, but one we worked out they were the problem we popped them in the spare room and all was fine, potentially just something to note for those of us with allergies. Again, amazing stay and can't wait to return.
Great property in a secluded location just what we needed for a bit of peace and quiet and relaxation, and the hot tub is an added bonus to top the day off relaxing under the stars.
Had lovely stay at lodge was very picturesque. Lodge bedrooms was comfortable. Lovely hot tub and can't fault facilities. Would recommend.

Weve been returning to Bottom Lodge at Glen View Farm in Llanvair Discoed for over 2. 5 years now, and its become our goto escape. If youre looking for peace and beautiful countryside views, this place is a gem. The hosts have really listened to guest feedback over the years the WiFi is now excellent, which makes it even better whether youre working remotely or just streaming something in the evening. The new hot tub is a perfect touch for unwinding after a day out walking or exploring. The lodge is cosy and wellequipped, and we love the fresh eggs from their freerange chickens. Its also very dogfriendly, with stunning woodland walks just 5 minutes up the road. The owners live onsite super friendly and helpful, but they completely respect your privacy. Also great for anyone visiting David Broomes Event Centre or Chepstow Racecourse both are really nearby. And dont miss the local pub, which serves great homemade food. Its become our goto retreat peaceful, beautiful, and run by genuinely lovely hosts. If youre thinking about booking, just do it. You wont regret it!
Absolutely loved our time at this cottage and would definitely stay again ... Absolutely loved our time at this cottage and would definitely stay again Owners was very welcoming and understanding by letting us charge our Electric car the first night because our car decided to tell us we was at the cottage right in the middle of Chepstow village leaving us with a very low battery when we arrived
An absolute gem of an accommodation. Beautiful location with a host that couldn't do enough to make the stay anymore enjoyable.
Cosy and comfortable cottage on farm. Quiet relaxed setting.Hosts friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed the holiday. A real find for us.
We had a nice stay at this property. Lovely location for exploring this part of Wales. We enjoyed the hot tub and the property contained most things you would expect for the week. We did mention the WiFi was slow and the owners did say they were in the process of getting this improved. The toilet seat was broken from day 1 which we advised them about but didnt get replaced unfortunately.
Lovely to be back at Bottom Lodge! Cosy and comfortable with great facilities and a lovely warm welcome from Sherie and Simon. It really feels like a home from home! Though perhaps a few pasta bowls would be a useful addition to the crockery!
Loved staying at Bottom Lodge. Clean and comfortable with a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The hot tub was the perfect treat and the place was peaceful and quiet. We cycled to Caerwent along the quiet lanes and walked in the local woods. Simon and Sherie were attentive hosts, welcoming and informative but unobtrusive. The well fenced area around the lodge was paved and perfect for our dog. We also had a field for him to walk in on the farm and he enjoyed meeting all the animals. We will definitely come back.
