Church Farm Guest House

.

Google Maps took me to an adjacent road, Common Road, which I drove up looking for the guest house. I asked a gardener who said they thought it might be next door. I drove back onto the main road and saw a small lane on the right and a sign propped against the wall showing Church Farm guest house. There was no sign for anyone coming from Abergavenny, like me. There were 2 front doors and I rang the wrong bell as there was no sign. We were told there was a dining room and when we came down for breakfast selected the one that didnt say Staff only. There was no dining room sign. Otherwise it was a lovely, quiet 2 night stay and Derek and Rosey were very kind and knowledgeable. The room was up 2 flights of narrow stairs. Fine for fit visitors.

Brilliant stay. Room cleaned every day. Great breakfast. Hosts polite and accommodating.

We had an amazing place, everything was just perfect. The room was huge, bed very comfortable, hot shower, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, all you need to be happy. The breakfast was delicious. Close distance to the town, Raglan Castle, Puzzlewood, Tintern Abbey and other local attractions. Highly recommended place to stay either for short or longer break. If we ever visit the area again, we'll definitely choose the The Church Farm.

For those who love old buildings as I do, this a lovely place to stay - a 16th century house. It’s full of original features like fire places, beams etc. There are lots of books, including for children, available to borrow. One was a 1914 very detailed description of that part of Monmouthshire - local history, buildings, family trees etc. Church Farm is mentioned. There’s also an old church nearby in the village of Mitchel Troy. My room was at the top, on the third floor and had ensuite with shower and toilet. There were two quite steep staircases to climb to get there, so those top floor rooms are not suitable for people with physical limitations, but I think there are other rooms lower down? The main road is very close, but is behind an area of dense large trees, so the house is convenient for the road and at the same time secluded and quiet. Parking is available at the end of a short driveway from the road. The only thing I’d say is that the sign on the road for Church House is small and doesn’t stand out, especially in the dark. I drove past the first time. I had a warm welcome and an enjoyable stay with everything I needed.
