About this property

Gardener’s Cottage at Mathern Palace - Chepstow

Gardener’s Cottage is a beautifully restored 19th-century hay barn located on the historic grounds of Mathern Palace - a Grade I* listed estate dating back to 1408. Once home to the Bishops of Llandaff, and later, renowned for its restoration by Interiors & Garden Expert of his time - Henry Avray Tipping in 1875.

Just a short walk away is a charming village pub (The Millers Arms) and plenty of countryside footpaths to explore. Gardener’s Cottage offers a modern, comfortable retreat perfect for discovering the Welsh countryside or after enjoying a day at the races.

Designed with open-plan living, the spacious ground floor combines a kitchenette, dining area, and lounge. The dining table comfortably seats four, providing an inviting space to eat, drink, and relax together. Upstairs, there is one master bathroom with a large, walk-in electric shower and two bedrooms; one a double bed and the other a twin room, which can be made up as a king bed on request. Perfect for families or groups of friends.

At the rear of the property is a large garden which is shared with the neighbouring cottage, The Potting Shed, with ample space for your dog or to enjoy a sundowner during in the warmer months.

At the front of the property is a spacious gravel driveway and a courtyard area with seating to enjoy the sunset.

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to Mathern Palace Estate, a truly unique and special place to escape, steeped in history and charm.

I’m Charlotte, and in 2022 I began my journey as a first-time host of our luxury holiday cottages. We proudly have three cottages available to rent making the perfect multi-generational UK staycation; Gardener's Cottage, The Potting Shed and The Gatehouse.

It has been my joy to welcome so many wonderful guests who have passed through our doors. Whether you visit to explore the beautiful walking trails and surrounding countryside, celebrate a wedding, or visit family, we strive to offer tranquility and peace, combined with a touch of luxury to suit every guest.

Please reach out if you would like help to plan your holiday with us, in need of local recommendations etc - I love hearing from our guests and enjoy making your stay as comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

I'm new to the area, but my partner was born here and knows the local area incredibly well! We are slowing renovating the Estate and want to celebrate the beautiful history this part of the Welsh countryside has to offer
