About Bottom Lodge

Bottom Lodge is a single-storey wooden retreat in rural Monmouthshire, Wales. This ground-floor accommodation sits on a working farm in Llanvair-Discoed, offering complete privacy with stunning countryside views. The owners provide a warm welcome with local treats and you'll find everything needed for a stress-free stay. Fancy collecting fresh eggs for breakfast? Just ask the friendly farmers!

Set against the backdrop of rolling Welsh hills, Bottom Lodge gives you the best of both worlds. Wentwood Forest is practically on your doorstep with miles of walking trails through ancient woodland. The local pub is just 0.8 miles away - close enough for a pint but far enough that you won't hear the karaoke. After exploring, soak your tired muscles in the private hot tub. Who needs expensive spa treatments when you've got bubbles under the stars?

The lodge sleeps 4 comfortably with one double bedroom and one bunk room. The open-plan living space features a fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine (because nobody wants to hand-wash on holiday). The sitting area has a woodburning stove for cosy evenings and underfloor heating keeps toes toasty year-round. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs to explore safely.

Visit Wentwood Reservoir (5 miles), hike Gray Hill (4 miles), or explore Penhow Castle (2.7 miles). Newport's shopping is just 20 minutes away, while Cardiff's attractions are under 40 minutes by car.

Bottom Lodge delivers countryside luxury without pretension. It's ideal for families, couples seeking peace and anyone who appreciates farm animals, hot tubs and getting away from it all. Book now before someone else steals your spot!

We had a great time here. Lovely cabin in a great location. Hosts were helpful and friendly. Love the hot tub. Would definitely come again.

Weve been returning to Bottom Lodge at Glen View Farm in Llanvair Discoed for over 2. 5 years now, and its become our goto escape. If youre looking for peace and beautiful countryside views, this place is a gem. The hosts have really listened to guest feedback over the years the WiFi is now excellent, which makes it even better whether youre working remotely or just streaming something in the evening. The new hot tub is a perfect touch for unwinding after a day out walking or exploring. The lodge is cosy and wellequipped, and we love the fresh eggs from their freerange chickens. Its also very dogfriendly, with stunning woodland walks just 5 minutes up the road. The owners live onsite super friendly and helpful, but they completely respect your privacy. Also great for anyone visiting David Broomes Event Centre or Chepstow Racecourse both are really nearby. And dont miss the local pub, which serves great homemade food. Its become our goto retreat peaceful, beautiful, and run by genuinely lovely hosts. If youre thinking about booking, just do it. You wont regret it!

A beautiful lodge in a quiet area. Fully fenced in for our dog. Beautiful and clean. All the things you would need are catered for. Dishwasher left with two tablets Washing up liquid. Milk, eggs. Really lovely little bits. I would recommend and book again. Great weekend

Absolutely loved our time at this cottage and would definitely stay again ... Absolutely loved our time at this cottage and would definitely stay again Owners was very welcoming and understanding by letting us charge our Electric car the first night because our car decided to tell us we was at the cottage right in the middle of Chepstow village leaving us with a very low battery when we arrived

An absolute gem of an accommodation. Beautiful location with a host that couldn't do enough to make the stay anymore enjoyable.

Cosy and comfortable cottage on farm. Quiet relaxed setting.Hosts friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed the holiday. A real find for us.

We had a nice stay at this property. Lovely location for exploring this part of Wales. We enjoyed the hot tub and the property contained most things you would expect for the week. We did mention the WiFi was slow and the owners did say they were in the process of getting this improved. The toilet seat was broken from day 1 which we advised them about but didnt get replaced unfortunately.

Lovely to be back at Bottom Lodge! Cosy and comfortable with great facilities and a lovely warm welcome from Sherie and Simon. It really feels like a home from home! Though perhaps a few pasta bowls would be a useful addition to the crockery!

Loved staying at Bottom Lodge. Clean and comfortable with a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The hot tub was the perfect treat and the place was peaceful and quiet. We cycled to Caerwent along the quiet lanes and walked in the local woods. Simon and Sherie were attentive hosts, welcoming and informative but unobtrusive. The well fenced area around the lodge was paved and perfect for our dog. We also had a field for him to walk in on the farm and he enjoyed meeting all the animals. We will definitely come back.

Had to cut our stay short due to illness loved the place would be stunning in ... Had to cut our stay short due to illness loved the place would be stunning in the summer only criticism is the hot tub needs a canopy cover as its in the open so all can see if your in there very friendly hosts and would stay again

Kestrel

Maintaining the bathroom is a must! Shower head broken it was pinned on with a cable tie, towel rail broken & fell off, toilet roll holder broken Bin lid missing from kitchen bin Crumbs in the cutlery tray Great hot tub needed more water in as it only came up to the chest area

This was one of the best stays we have had in a long time! We wish we booked for longer. Great communication with property owners from the get go! We cannot think of a single issue or anything we would change and cannot wait to return. We had the opportunity to go and collect some eggs on the morning of departure with our young daughter all arranged via the owners and we left it last minute for them too but they made sure it wasnt a problem youre completely out of the way of every day life but not to far from the things you need. The owners were there if we needed but not invading at all! The lodge was beautiful, clean, pet friendly, and so cosy! Thanks again guys we will be back!

Ive stayed here a few times now, its an Amazing place to hide away and relax, great location and good facilities. All decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. There is woodlands nearby for walking & great local pub, right on your doorstep. After a nice walk with the dog, relaxed in the Hot tub which was extremely lovely and clean, then relaxed in front of the Log fire. Overall a fabulous week away!

Lovely to be back. All good but shower and loo seat need attention but I didn't want to give less stars. We'll be back.

Beautiful little find! Middle of nowhere and perfect location.

Andrew

Great Holiday. Lodge was as described and is a perfect hideaway for a family set in absolutely stunning surroundings. Owners were lovely hosts, greeting us when we 1st arrived with our welcome hamper of fresh eggs off the farm, milk and welsh cakes. Would recommend to others and the best way I would describe it would be at Glen View Farm you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere and completely away from it all but you are no more than 15 minutes away from any amenities you need including some cracking pubs in the vicinity.

What a absolutely beautiful lodge this is, everything we hoped it would be. Lovely idyllic location and very quiet. A very well equipped kitchen and plenty of space in the lodge. Hot tub is immaculate. We couldn't of asked for more. We loved our time here.

Such a beautiful stay, loved every second. The little welcome hamper was a lovely touch, would definitely book in the future! Thank you again for a lovely stay xx

Amazing property in an amazing location, lovely owners who provided a nice welcome basket when we arrived as well, also showed our daughters round all the animals they keep hot tub was a massive bonus all round, property had all the mod cons. Will be definitely booking again thank you

It was great to be back at Bottom Lodge. Perfect location for us. We felt very at home and enjoyed the treats left for us by the lovely owners. Thank you. We will be back!

Claire

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your lovely lodge. The attention to detail on the facilities and the high quality furnishings are excellent. The lodge & farm are so peaceful with the friendliest farm animals and pets which were a pleasure to spend time with. Thank you for your hospitality.

Perfect break in a lovely home. Great comms with the owner who is on site but not in the way. Extremely clean and tidy all mod cons, comfy beds, great shower pressure, loads of hot water and TV with all the extra channels. Lots of extras that made it like a home from home, ceiling window blinds, fresh linen and towels, good quality pots and pans etc and the clean hot tub was a massive bonus. Thanks for having it ready for us on arrival. We loved your animals, the dogs are gorgeous but we love the friendly sheep and chucks. The welcome basket was a nice touch, good to be able to make a cuppa and have shortbread when we arrived. Thank you for a great stay, we will book again.

We had a relaxed and comfortable time with you, thank you so much. Your lodge had everything we needed and you couldnt do enough to make us comfortable. The welcome pack was an added surprise. The bed was just as I like it and the lodge was clean and fresh, just quite a few webs and spiders! It is a farm and to be expected I know. The only part that needs a replacement is the sofa but apart from that we loved our stay, especially the super clean hot tub. Will definitely come again.

Louise

Lovely break in a perfect lodge with beautiful surroundings. Owners very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful! Cottage clean and comfy. Owners helpful and friendly. I wanted for nothing even the weather was well organised! Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely stay. Lodge was comfortable, cosy and well equipped. Nice to find a welcome back of essentials, a thoughtful touch. It was good to meet the owner who was very helpful re Internet issues. We felt very relaxed and at home. Thank you.

We stayed at Bottom Lodge from 11th Sept 16th Sept. we found the cottage quite easily by our sat nav. it was in a lovely location and fully met the discription on line. We found the owners very kind and helpful. The cottage was well kept and fully met our expectations. we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage to other people.

Lovely stay and we had glorious sunshine the patio area and furniture was really nice Ideal location for bikers and hikers and it was nice to be able to take the dog. there was no visitor book and i found it strange there was no mop or bucket or sweeping brush to keep the place clean I always take my own cleaning cloths and bleach.There seemed to be a lot of flies around maybe due to the hot weather used plenty of fly spray visited usk and found one of the best pub gardens ever The castle inn Liked the fact that you could get a basket meal for a fiver

Lack of maintenance lack of kitchen kit. Left a lovely welcome pack.no cleaning materials to refresh.. also the smell in the air.It ruined the holiday.will never go back as it was over 800

Beautiful little holiday home, lovely and clean. Family was really friendly. Having the washing machine and a dishwasher was a godsend ! Beautiful been able to visit the animals. My little girl fell in love with the friendliest sheep in the world ! Only suggestion I have and they may have one but I couldnt find it was a broom. I like to leave the holiday homes as tidy as possible .

We stayed here for 3 months, the accommodation is clean, modern and well equipped, the area is peaceful and the views are beautiful. The owners are friendly and accommodating. Beds are super comfy which is always a concern for us! We would stay again and recommend to others. Thanks guys for making a difficult time bearable

Suzanne

Lovely stay at bottom lodge. Underfloor heating was a real bonus. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Hosts decorated the lodge for my birthday and left goodies for us which was really kind and lovely surprise. Lots of lovely walking and farm shop is definitely worth a visit. Theres a Fantastic local pub nearby, takes 2 mins in car or if you like walking it takes about 20 mins. Throughly enjoyed my stay and will be returning.

Russell

We had a wonderful stay at Bottom Lodge! The lodge is finished to a really high standard with all the mod cons you could possibly ever want or need. The underfloor heating in particular was a delight as we were staying during a cold spell! The beds were also super comfy with really high quality bedding. The location is wonderful with stunning views, and just a short walkdrive from Wentwood Forest which features lots of lovely picturesque walks. Hayley, Sherie and Simon were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them! I would recommend Bottom Lodge without hesitation!
