PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SPECIAL OFFER PRICES FOR THIS PROPERTY ARE BELOW - AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING - THEY ARE CHEAPER THAN THE PRICE YOU'LL BE QUOTED BY TRIPADVISOR
THE WELSH GATEHOUSE
A luxury award winning period property, built in the time of Edward I, (we think it was built approx 1270). This Grade II* medieval hideaway boasts seven hundred years of history - and with its towers it feels like you are living in a fairy tale castle.
Stay from 1 night to 2 weeks. It is cheaper the longer you stay. Please contact us for further information on availability and prices.
Extensively refurbished in 2008, the Gatehouse offers a charming loft-style living area within its ancient structure, retaining the beams, thick walls, and stone mullion windows. A deep leather sofa, wood burning stove and delightful sleeping space, all add to a uniquely romantic experience. You can even climb up to the top of the tower, to the viewing platform!
Heating is provided by a wood burning stove (logs are provided) and two night storage heaters. It is cosy and warm in winter. In summer the thick walls, and windows on both sides help you keep cool.
The property boasts a modern 'wet room' with shower, a fully fitted kitchen with oven and hob, fridge and small freezer. There is a TV with freeview, DVD player, CD player with ipod docking facility. Downstairs there is a washing machine and tumble dryer if you need it.
Please note, this ancient building's charm includes a steep spiral staircase. Access to the gallery bedroom is via a companionway ladder, and requires you to duck underneath a beam. If you have any challenges around mobility please look at the accessibility statement. Note we advise you to bring a couple of smaller bags rather than one very heavy and large case...as the steep spiral staircase has some 30 steps to get to the main living area, and space on the staircase is restricted.
Outside
The property is self contained, and has its own entrance. There is parking for two cars (one behind the other). The owners live at the other end of the garden in a sixteenth century Monmouthshire gentry house. You can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful walled garden. There is a barbeque for you to use.
AWARD WINNING PROPERTY
On 26 June 2009 William Ayot was presented with an award for building conservation for the works done at Moynes Court at the Gatehouse and Courtyard House. The Award was presented by the Village Alive Trust in association with CADW and the Welsh Civic Trust
RUNNERS UP IN THE GUESTS' FAVOURITE BRITISH SELF CATERING PLACE SAWDAY AWARDS 2010 : from their Special Places to Stay Website, of which we are extremely proud.

COVID DECONTAMINATION: Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Gatehouse will be decontaminated prior to the commencement of ALL guest bookings. A thermal fogging machine will be used to treat every room with an antiviral disinfectant, which is effective against Coronavirus. The fogging process is designed so that a whole room can be treated, including walls, floors and furniture. The disinfectant (Covisan) that we use is effective within 5 minutes against viruses including Corona Virus, bacteria and funghi, is non-toxic, fragrance free and treated surfaces are safe for human contact. We still do this, as Covid is still around, so we maintain our high standards.
