Monnington House and Garden Cottage sleep 18 in 9 very comfortable bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. There is a ground floor bedroom in Garden Cottage with M1 status. The Cider Mill is a short walk across the paddock and 3 en suite bedrooms. The Cider Mill is all on one level.

All 12 bedrooms have hypnos superking beds (zip and link) and fine 400 count egyptian linen. We take the quality of sleep of our guests seriously!

The kitchen is geared up for numbers and catering. During the winter months there is an aga plus there are 2 electric ovens, 2 dishwashers and numerous fridge freezers. There is plenty of glassware and crockery for 24. The dining table seats 24.

There is walking from the door plus great cycling routes. Many guests enjoy canoeing and kayaking on the Wye. Fishing for salmon or coarse fishing can be arranged. A local caterer works in the house often and is reasonably priced. We do encourage you to make inquiries. Visits to Hay on Wye and Hereford and Presteigne which is just a little further a field are interesting. Young and old enjoy the Small Breeds Farm at Kington and the Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral is enlightening.

Monnington House and the Cider Mill welcome family groups and friends.

It couldn't have been better

This was one of the best of many family holidays we have enjoyed over the last 20 years.
There were 19 of us ranging from 17 to 82 years of age and, occupying all three premises, all appreciated the excellent accommodation (including all rooms being en-suite). The location is great as are the facilities..
We made good use of the games rooms with an extremely competitive table tennis tournament taking place throughout the week.
Our self catering was made easy by the excellent provision of all the kitchen equipment we were likely to need.
Although spread out over the three properties we were able to eat our main meal together in the main house. With it's 4 lounges there was plenty of room for evening board games and chat.
The online guides provided by the Owner were so helpful, comprehensive and readable. Well done!

What a fabulous 5 Star Review - thank you. I am delighted your family celebrations for birthdays and anniversaries went according to plan at Monnington House, Garden Cottage and The Cider Mill. Your large family of 19 enjoyed our accommodation, huge gardens and grounds plus the games room and table tennis room and the beautiful walking from the door. The dining area which seats up to 24 is perfect for large group gatherings. Please come back and stay with us again. With very best wishes

Monnington provided a superb setting for our gathering, in an idyllic position in the Wye valley this 5* accommodation certainly has everything. Lots of space inside and out, everything supplied or the perfect getaway. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful three nights at Monnington House for my mother's 90th birthday with four generrations of family. The house was very comfortable and well equipped and there was a good choice of outdoor and indoor activities from badminton to snooker, It was warm despite the chilly weather. Debbie provided us with a delicious meal on the first evening and a lovely birthday cake for my mother. The owners responded very positively to our request in advance for some large cooking pots so we were able to cater for more than 20 adults. A rough local map with suggested walks would have been useful as it took a while for us to work them out.. .

Thank you for posting a lovely review about Monnington House, Garden Cottage and The Cider Mill (sleeps 24). I am so pleased the 90th birthday celebrations went according to plan and Debbie, the authorised caterer provided delicious food. Details of walks from the house and nearby are listed in the Touchstay Guide which is circulated in the pre-arrival letter and detailed also on the website. There is also a QR code in the house which can be scanned too. There are 2 books on the hall table; The Welsh Marches 40 Town and Country Walks and Wye Valley 40 Hill and Riverside Walks. With best wishes

A wonderful stay

We had a fantastic early xmas party here at Monnington House and the Cider Mill. The venue is brilliant, a fantastic set up suitable for the wide range of ages and interests in our group.

The venue managers were very helpful and made sure we had a wonderful stay. Would highly reccommend.

The property filled the brief for 22 friends who all need own bathroom. Bed linen and beds are very luxurious. Toiletries provided are limited. Well equipped kitchen which works well for large party - though surprised on a property advertised as luxury to be required to take dishwasher tablets and liquid as only the minimum amount would be provided! Lovely selection of goodies left as a welcome basket. Owner responds very quickly to queries. Enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by Debbie on the Saturday evening. Fab local farm shop 5 mins away. All in all a great place to stay for a large party - we had a fun weekend. We have been going away as a group for 15 plus years and we don’t go back to many properties but this is one we would definitely return too! Thank you to Anna and her team.

Hello Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I hope we accommodated all your questions before and during your stay and of course you carried out a thorough inspection before your arrival with 4 or 5 friends! We detail what is supplied or not at the point of booking to make all guests fully aware of what is or is not included. Details of our toiletries supplied by Myddfai Trading Company which supports social enterprise are noted on our website and also in the information folder on site. And yes our accommodation is almost unique in that each of the 12 bedrooms have their own bathroom. It offers wonderful accommodation for large groups or families as noted. Best wishes

Just gorgeous!

Staying at Monnington House and it’s beautiful Cottages was a joy, perfect in every way. The kitchens had everything you could possibly want/need in them. The bedrooms in the main house are spacious and very comfortable, as are the downstairs rooms. The cottages are a delight, very comfortable and cosy, ideal if you have family members who might like to get away from the hustle and bustle in the main house. The outside spaces for all three properties are excellent. So many different areas for youngsters to play (grown-ups too!) We we’re celebrating two 60th birthdays so made use of the catering option on the Saturday evening and the meal was fantastic! The river Wye is just a short distance away and many of our guests brought SUP’s and made good use of the lovely beach there, they had a blast! Oakchurch garden centre is an absolute treasure! So well stocked and the people are lovely. I can’t recommend Monnington House, Garden Cottage and The Cider Mill highly enough. Our guests loved staying so much they didn’t want to return home! We shall certainly be back for future celebrations! Thank you so much Anna xxx

What a fantastic review for Monnington House and the Cider Mill (sleeps 24). I know you and your extended family enjoyed Monnington House and the Cider Mill whilst celebrating your joint 60th birthdays. The sun shone, you enjoyed the River Wye, you brought the dog, enjoyed the large gardens, games rooms and used the services of a local caterer which always enhances a milestone celebration. I hope you will return again soon to celebrate another birthday or anniversary. Best wishes

An absolutely perfect spot for a family celebration

A superb location which is really well equipped with a fabulous garden and surroundings. We used all three properties with our age group from 9 to 78 yrs, it was just perfect for us, With a whole range of activities to suit every age.
A massive well equipped kitchen was the centre of the week even as a disco for the 50th celebration. Monnington House is just beautiful and has many areas whatever your mood.
We have just had one of the most memorable family holidays ever. Just one comment like so many places we have been, could we have more coat hangers! And we are still smiling.

What a fabulous 5 Star Review from our guests who stayed at both Monnington House and the Cider Mill. Your large group booking was accommodated in our 5 star accommodation in 12 bedrooms with 12 bathrooms. You were so wise to use the services of our local caterer who I know delivered excellent food 4 times during the week. Come back and stay with us again please. We know you loved it! I will buy more coathangers this week!
