Pineapple Cottage - Chepstow Town Centre (Wales)

17th Century cottage in the heart of Chepstow, close to Offa's Dyke & the Wye Valley. Tucked down a little cobbled street in the town centre, it’s a small but perfectly formed cottage ideal for a couple or a young family. There’s a secret door leading to the second bedroom, where you’ll even get a glimpse of Chepstow Castle from the window. It’s an ideal base for weddings at St Tewdrics (we’ve even hosted the bride and groom!) or for walking and cycling in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. The space Small (and I really do mean small) but perfectly formed, Pineapple Cottage is a characterful little cottage that dates back to 1650 (we think!). It may be old, but it has all the mod-cons to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Downstairs is open plan, with the kitchen at one end, the living space at the other and a dining table with room for four in between. There's a wood burning stove*, as well as a washer/dryer and dishwasher. If you’re staying in, there’s a smart TV and plenty of games. There is also super fast WiFi and plenty of network points if you have work to do. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with drawers and hanging spaces and the beds have Otty Hybrid mattresses. There are plenty of mirrors for getting ready for a night out or wedding and the shower room has a heated floor and a heated mist-free mirror. You won’t see it in the photos (that would ruin the surprise), but to find the second bedroom you’ll have to check for secret doors! The garden is small but private. It is heated, lit by fairy lights and has just enough room for four around the table. There are security anchors to lock bikes to in the garden, but they’re not under cover. The cottage uses energy sourced from renewables thanks to Ovo Energy. *feel free to use the wood burner, but you'll need to provide your own logs Guest access The cottage has a keypad on the front door and guests will have their own code that lasts the duration of their stay. There is a guide book in the property that has local info and some recommendations for pubs, restaurants and walks. We are located nearby and usually can be on hand to assist with any problems if needed.
