Great little cottage ideally placed for exploring the Wye Valley.. Local pub The Lion does decent grub and always a warm welcome. A lovely stay for the money.

Ms Gee, August 2020

We really felt like valued guests and Jean did everything she could for us to be comfortable and well-entertained.. Her advice and recommendations about the local area were invaluable. The cottage was immaculately clean and equipped well beyond our needs, we prepared all but one of our meals there. The downstairs layout worked well and the lounge is more spacious than it appears in the photos. Upstairs there was a beautifully spacious main bedroom and bathroom. The second bedroom was as expected and is comfortable but quite tiny. Wonderful mattresses and pillows. The stairs, usefully for us, had bannisters on both sides. I struggled with the internet connection, but our host came over and helped us out. We will definitely be recommending The Pound to friends.

We enjoyed our week at the Pound, Jean is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome as did all the people we met.. The extra touches were a lovely bonus with milk and eggs, tea and coffee and even some bubble bath. The cottage is excellent for relaxing or for getting out and enjoying the local area. The cottage location is perfect for exploring with walks from the front door and easy access to Tintern with its Abby and surrounding walks, Monmouth is with its shops and history is another must-do. I can honestly say after a busy few months a week at the Pound has left us feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. We are already planning our next visit.

Ms Cheeseman, July 2020

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break to the Pound in Trelleck.. The hosts were extremely kind, they left fresh eggs, milk, tea, coffee, and welsh cakes which was a very thoughtful touch and put up with our 2 collies, the dogs also had a lovely time with loads of country walks in the area. We would definitely recommend.

Mr Robertson, September 2019

We had a most enjoyable week at The Pound.. It's a cosy cottage with everything you need and a warm welcome from Jean including some lovely Welsh cakes, eggs, butter and milk which was a lovely touch. There's a great pub in the village within walking distance which serves delicious food. There is an abundance of places to visit and beautiful walks along the river. The scenery is stunning. Thank you Jean for a great holiday.

It was a bit too quiet in the area for us, however, we enjoyed the break..

Mr Burnham, May 2019

The Pound is a lovely, cosy cottage, with good amenities and with access to a beautiful garden.. The village of Trelleck is full of history and archaeology in beautiful countryside with wonderful walks. Jean is an excellent host and one of the kindest people I have ever met.

Mr Sullivan

Beautiful cottage and Jean the owner couldn’t have been more helpful.. Trellech itself is also a great base; a lot of history for what is now a small village, a great little pub and perfectly positioned to explore the Wye valley and surrounding areas.

Ms Howarth

Jean is a very welcoming and kind person who made me feel at home and was always on hand if I needed anything.. Trelleck is a lovely village rich in history and archaeology. The Pound itself is a cosy cottage which also has a long history. Trelleck is a gateway to some beautiful towns and there are castles galore. Highly recommended.

Very warm and cosy cottage, Jean the owner had left bread,butter,milk,and the best eggs we've had in a long time, altogether a very pleasant place to stay..

Mrs Wright

We have just returned from a weeks stay at The Pound.. A delightful cottage very cosy and warm and is much bigger inside than appears in the picture. The cottage is very well equipped and very well situated for Monmouth, Chepstow and surrounding areas such as The Forest Of Dean and Tintern Abbey. Jean is a lovely lady on hand if needed and we were very comfortable in the cottage. The local pub The Lion is at the top of the village a short walk from the cottage, the food is delicious and freshly cooked to order. The little local shop is just around the corner from the pub and sells lovely fresh bacon, sausages and a selection of provisions and newspapers . We liked the village very much very friendly and has a lovely church. We would stay here again

Mrs Wnite

September 2018

The Pound must be one of the most well equipped cottages we have ever stayed in and the cleanest.. Lovely thoughtful welcome pack. We were surprised just how spacious it was inside, a real tardis. Ideally situated between Chepstow and Monmouth. On the edge of the Forest of Dean which had great walking for our two Westies, Archie and Mollie. Great dog friendly pub just up the village with a roaring log fire, good food and chatty locals. Exceeded our expectations and we would definitely go there again.

Ms Lane

Lovely area, Trellech is a good starting spot for seeing the area from.. The Pound, fascinating history and plenty big enough. Jean was very welcoming, we look forward to coming back.

Jean and John were lovely hosts.. They were helpful and very accommodating to our needs. The Pound is a fantastic place to stay when visiting the Trellech area. We so enjoyed our visit.

Mr Bumstead

Firstly you are met with a warm smile from both John & Jean, you go on to find that they have provided you with a few essentials, bread, butter ,milk, tea and coffee.. You then start to explore the cottage and find that you have book a clean, comfortable and well maintained property that suits all your needs, so you can immediately start to relax and enjoy your break. A trip to the local pub, and you are made to feel welcomed by all on both sides of the bar! So, what are the down sides, simply there are none! We travelled all around South Wales, and I cannot think of a better lace to do it from. We had a fantastic break, and we hope that you will too staying at The Pound

Mrs Kempthorne

We shared the accommodation with many, many spiders so anyone with a fear of them wouldn't be able to stay there, The owners were very pleasant and helpful and everything we needed was provided..

Mr Armstrong

Our break at The Pound was excellent.. Thank you to John & Jean for your friendly welcome and the food/drink starter pack provided. The Pound is a lovely cottage with good facilities in a wonderful village, which contains a welcoming pub (The Lion) that serves real ales, good food and welcomes dogs. Trellech is about 4 miles from Monmouth and perfect for exploring the Wye valley and nearby Forest of Dean. We will return.

Mrs Phillips

The owners John and Jean are really lovely people and you couldn't ask for nicer host.. The cottage had everything you need and it was my brother-in-laws 60th while away and John and Jean bought us a drink in the pub to help celebrate his birthday. It is a lovely cottage. Beds were lovely and clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could want. Locals were very friendly and the village has a shop and a beautiful church and only a short drive from tourist attractions. There are also walks from your door if you like to take a stroll in the fields.

Mrs Hall

The pound is a really lovely little cottage and jean and John are a very welcoming couple.. We enjoyed our short stay and hope to return.

Mr Watts

Jean and John who own the cottage were lovely and were on hand if we needed anything.. I would recommend The Pound and Sykes cottages again.

Mr Wisden

A superbly located holiday home, surrounded by local history.. The owners live on site and are very helpful and friendly. Being as the home is at a road junction, this is not the quietest home we have stayed in, but then again it's wasn't the noisiest either!. Also worth mentioning that the home is warm, the bedroom gets quite "Toasty". Would I stay here again? yes most certainly!

Mr Eastment

April 2018

The owners were lovely and made our stay even more enjoyable.. Welcoming pack of flowers, tea, coffee, bread etc was unexpected but such a nice touch. The only criticism is being on at times a very busy road junction which did detract from the overall experience. Thanks again for a great stay and would highly recommend to anyone.

Ms Yendall

March 2018

The cottage was well presented and very well equipped.. The owners John and Jean had left fresh milk, bread, eggs and welsh cakes for us which was really appreciated. The area is very rural and tranquil. Chepstow, Monmouth and Abergavenny are all about 15 minutes away and Cardiff is around 50 minutes away. A true gem just across the border. However as stated in the details this cottage is directly next to a quite busy road and there is noise, it did not spoil our holiday at all but it is worth mentioning. We will definitely be returning to the Pound for a well earned break very soon.

Mr Cotterill

A lovely little cottage in a great location for walking.. The village has a delightful pub, whoch is very welcoming and offers great food. For "limited" mobile reception, read "none", anywhere in the village.

Mr Strong

The cottage was lovely - just right for me, my partner & our 11 year old son! It was well sited for our trips to the Brecon Beacons & Forest of Dean. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming & we had a great time.

Mr Thomas

July 2017

The Pound is one of the best cottages we have stayed at and a credit to the most friendly owners, John and Jean, who made us feel at ease from the minute we arrived.. The very generous welcome pack was a nice touch and John and Jean had a mine of information on the surrounding area that made it an even more enjoyable experience .We would not hesitate to recommend the Pound to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful part of Wales.

Mr Thomas, July 2017

October 2016

The property was absolutely delightful and the owners charming.. I felt instantly at home and wished I had been able to stay much longer. Cottage cosy and comfortable - had it rained all week I would have been more than happy to stay in. Location excellent. Some beautiful Wye Valley walks, close to Monmouth. The area is stunning in the autumn. I hope to return.

Miss Marshall, October 2016

September 2016

The Only fault, if you can call it that, is there is no carpet up the stairs, which is quite steep, even a strip up the middle would give you more confidence when going up or down.. . Also a bolt on each of the Bathrooms would afford a little more privacy. Overall we had a lovely stay at the Pound and our Hosts John & Jean were most welcoming, Eggs, Milk , Butter,Bread and some lovely Welsh cakes were there to start us off.

Mrs Schorn, September 2016

A beautiful property with the owners living in the house opposite.. They are lovely people, very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here.
