A superb, romantic self-catering holiday cottage (sleeps 4), in the beautiful lower Wye Valley next to the Forest of Dean
Johnson Cottage in Brockweir is a homely country retreat, just 20 minutes from the M4, in the heart of the Wye Valley. This beautiful 2 bedroomed cottage is perfectly situated on a footpath that wanders to the banks of the River Wye and has one of the village's brooks babbling past the front door. It is ideal for romantic honeymoons and anniversaries, or as the perfect location for a more active break with family or friends.
The cottage sleeps up to 4 people, and features a cosy wood burning fire, solid oak floors, comfy beds and easy access to the most gorgeous scenery in the area - its just a short walk to the riverbank and the village itself is unspoilt, providing a quiet base with which to explore the area.
The village of Brockweir lies in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, situated between the historic Welsh Border Towns of Monmouth and Chepstow, and on the edge of the Forest of Dean - a short riverside walk away from Tintern and its famous Abbey, at the edge of the Forest of Dean.
With the Wye Valley Walk and Offa's Dyke Path running either side of the Brockweir Bridge - just moments away - you are perfectly placed for walking some of the most scenic walking routes in the UK. The cottage has maps and guides so you can get the most from your treks!
"What a cottage! We had a wondeful stay, wanted for nothing and
had a great rest.
It's such a beautiful cottage -
spacious, rustic
but with every mod con.
We will be back!"

Johnson Cottage is perfect for a romantic hideaway with riverside meadows and picnics within a few steps of the front door, or as a haven for friends and family to relax after a day of exploring or adventuring on and around the Wye; walking, cycling, canoeing, fishing and many other activities are available in this beautiful area.

Johnson Cottage is the quintessential old village cottage, dating back over 200 years. Recently refurbished, it has retained its charming original features whilst also providing modern amenities. Brockweir is a desirable, unspoilt old village with a strong community spirit and a rich history, where you will find the atmosphere very friendly, quiet and convivial - Brockweir is a truly unique place to get away from it all.
"Great cottage - plenty of room, but cosy at the same time -
especially
with the wood-burning fire - lovely. Everything you need is provided.
Obviously a great deal of thought has gone into this cottage."

You are very close to the tranquil banks of the Wye - head just along the path at the front door and past the famous neighbouring Moravian Church to enjoy the riverside meadows and idyllic views of Brockweir Bridge and the stunning Wye Valley countryside, and continue on over the hill to Tintern, returning via the opposite riverbank after having a look around the stunning Tintern Abbey.

chosen better for our weekend away. Everything about the cottage made it
easy for us to have a special romantic weekend – a weekend that
we will remember for the rest of our lives. We will be back."
