Details
Set in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the magical Tintern Abbey a short walk away, the Tintern Old Rectory is a lovely place to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Wye Valley and nearby Forest of Dean.
Spectacular viewpoints and beautiful local scenery along both Offa's Dyke Trail and the Wye Valley Walk are a haven for walkers and cyclists, and services such as local pick-up (walk as long as you like and we will pick you up, then drop off again the next day), packed lunches, drying facilities, laundry service and secure bicycle storage are provided. The area is also dog lovers heaven and a separate entranced pet-friendly garden suite is available, with access to our layered garden areas overlooking the Wye. Swans can often be seen floating outside the windows.
Old Rectory rooms also have river views and are charmingly appointed with special touches such as garden flowers, Egyptian Cotton linens, down duvets, and digital television. Hypoallergenic bedding, ironing boards and clothes drying are also available.
The comfortable and gracious sitting room is a perfect place to read, enjoy the scenery and warm wood fires on chilly evenings, with scenic routes, walking maps, local interest legends and guide books to browse, along with binoculars and hand-made walking sticks to take along on explorations.
Lovingly prepared breakfasts including wonderful local sausages, kippers, freshly made bread, organic muesli, yogurt and berries. Marcel, our 'French Maitre d' will describe the daily specials (look for him in the breakfast room picture :)
Delicious packed lunches and cream teas are also available, and with advance request, freshly prepared homemade dinners as well. Several excellent traditional pubs and restaurants in Tintern are a short stroll away, serving Wye Valley specialties, local wines and ales.
With an original croquet ground and badminton (currently wonky but fun as it is being restored) and gardens visited by woodland deer to enjoy, beautiful landscapes, tranquility and a very warm welcome await you at our Wye Valley B&B.
