    We had such a relaxing time at the gatehouse, a really unique stay. The fire was so cosy and the view from the room were fab, especially as it was bonfire night! A really lovely welcome pack on arrival too which was appreciated. Such a comfy bed,...

Juliet Grayson
Travel and Hospitality Award Winner in the Category: 2024 Unique Accommodation in Wales! The Gate House, is an exceptional Grade II* listed, 700-year-old structure, built by Sir Bogo de Knovil. Enter to find a steep spiral stone stair with a grab rail and rope, the living space is on the first floor, there is a dressing room above and up again you will find lovely views from the roof of the tower. Staying in this medieval hideaway, with its two towers, makes you feel like you are living in a castle. It is a hugely attractive space of white walls, oak floors and stone encased windows, a romantic escape with a sense of history in the air. On a dark nights snuggle up on the sofa by the wood-burning stove, cosy behind long curtains and thick walls. The bed lies ethereally up in the eaves above the living area, there is a modern kitchen and a wet room. The gatehouse is suitable for only two people. It is the perfect couples retreat and a great base for exploring South Wales and the Wye Valley. You are ten minutes from the M48, yet you can set off on field-walks from the door. There’s a pub within walking distance in the local village. Please note due to the gatehouse being a listed building, with spiral staircase, it is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility.
Juliet Grayson is a psychotherapist specialising in a method called the Pesso Boyden of Psychotherapy. William Ayot is a playwright, poet and he delivers Leadership training. William has published four books, and Juliet has published one. Juliet and William live at the end of the garden in a completely separate building.
There is parking for 2 cars directly outside the front of the Gatehouse, see photo (but please park carefully so that other cars can park there too). There is plenty of fabulous countryside that can be easily accessed from The Welsh Gatehouse. Wentwood, the largest ancient woodland in the whole of Wales, is only five minutes away and is an enchanting walk amongst beautiful old trees. Likewise the Forest of Dean and Wye valley is a short drive away. There is also golf, fishing and Chepstow Racecourse nearby. There are several castles and the Roman remains of Caerwent and Caerleon all within driving distance. The pretty town of Chepstow has plenty of shops and supermarkets where you can stock up on provisions. The local pub in the village serves food, and there is a garden centre that has a coffee shop and also a farm shop selling local produce. Chepstow is 3 miles, Newport is 17 miles, Bristol is 18 miles, Abergavenny is 25 miles, Cardiff is 30 miles, Hay on Wye is 50 miles, Brecon Beacons National Park is just under 60 miles,
