    The bathroom needs urgent updating. It didn't feel very clean and especially breakfast cutlery etc. was positively dirty.

    We could check in earlier than the relatively late 4pm check in time advertised. This was much appreciated as we had been walking and it was now raining. The room was nice and bed comfortable.

    We received a warm welcome from owner Anika on our arrival. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable and we settled in quickly. I had sent an advance message to Anika warning her of my wife's wheat allergy. Very kindly she baked a special gluten-free loaf which added to an already superb breakfast with fresh fruit salad, other home made breads and speciality jams and marmalade. A thoroughly pleasant stay in a glorious village.

    Beautiful place ruined by a poor hygiene standard.

    It's in a desperate need for a deep clean. Carpets were simply dirty, dust is hanging from the ceiling. There is a very strong smell of pet urine everywhere (mixed with this very specific smell of an old buildings and furniture we all know). You can find a dog poo on the floor in the common room. Such a shame as it's really beautiful building. I'm a pet person and wouldn't mention it if the problem was not extreme. My husband couldn't sleep due to a strong smell. Perfect place to take some pictures and go, wouldn't stay there for longer than one night.

    It's a beautiful old building. Very nicely decorated, has this feeling of a cute dollhouse. The lady owner is very nice and friendly. There was no option to book a breakfast but we received muesli and milk instead, which is a nice touch. Good quality bathroom cosmetics, warm water. Old Rectory is nicely located, close to Tintern Abbey and lovely walking paths. Amazing place for some photoshoots.

    It’s a bit of a climb up to the room, but it keeps you fit!

    The friendliness of the host and the room were amazing. Thanks to the age and position of the building it stayed lovely and cool. I was surprised how much space we got for our money. The breakfast was healthy and simple. There’s a bit of a boho vibe going on here.

    It wasn't a bit deal but the parking is in the road opposite but we didn't know do when we got there we had to call first to find out.

    We booked this room by pure chance since we were staying nearby but our hotel didn't have availability for the Saturday. The village of Tintern is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The b&b was very quirky, and the rooms were decorated with so much attention to detail. The owner was a very nice lady who was super welcoming. She recommended a restaurant the wild hare where we had a fantastic meal.

    Dogs barking a lot and odd smell downstairs. Bathroom was poor especially the loo. Not sure if you could drink the water due to the pipes? Old? Lead?

    Everything was to our liking.

    We had a warm welcome from the owner, Anneke, and her 4 little dogs. The property has a faded charm about it and has many nice touches which made us feel at home. We enjoyed our breakfast which included smoked salmon, frittata, delicious bread with home made jams and marmalade. Soya milk was available. The location is stunning in the beautiful village of Tintern. Our room at the front of the property had a view over the river Wye and rolling hills. Tintern Abbey is very nearby.

    Smell of toilet at night, understandable I suppose with the age of building & pipework. Unfortunate smell of animals which put us off from staying for breakfast. Main light in room flickered on & off so we just used bed side lights.

    Picturesque location perfect for access to Chepstow racecourse & surrounding area

    Slow WiFi. Initially directed to wrong web domain. Once sorted it did work OK. No secure parking as across the road from house. Too many steps to room.

    My choice not to have breakfast as I was leaving very early. Too many steps for me up to house and room. However host helped take things up. Host friendly and accommodating. Room and bathroom was quaint and very comfortable and clean. Was very quiet.

    Unfortunately the boiler didn't work so there was no heating and no hot water. until 11.00 at night when the immersion eventually had a chance to kick in. Informing the other guests to wait before using the hot water would have helped.

    A pleasantly appointed room with a comfortable bed. Good choice of cereals.
