Boasting glorious, elevated views of the river and surrounding woodland, Paradise Found truly lives up to its name, offering a romantic break for couples. Boasting a striking interior, enter into the sitting room and curl up in front of the electric log burner fire as you reminisce on the day’s events. A small kitchenette offers a combination microwave/ infrared oven and toaster, hot plate and fridge, and together with the outside electric BBQ, you can prepare food when you’re not dining at a local restaurant. The bedroom is sure to catch eyes, presented with bookcases flanking a double bed and similar book-themed throw. Start the morning with a hot shower in the en-suite shower room before heading out to the decked area and sampling those far-reaching rural vistas. On a clear night, head round the corner to find the hot tub and enjoy a soothing soak as you marvel at the starry sky (Hot tub available on request only (situated around the side of the property 15 yards away in a private area)).

For a leisurely afternoon, stroll along the River Wye which flows alongside the village before looping through picturesque Herefordshire countryside, test your angling skills with a bit of fishing, canoeing or paddle boarding, or hire a bike and cycle along the old railway track to Monmouth.
