Bryn Cosyn

A Dog-Friendly Lodge with Rural Views near Chepstow

Bryn Cosyn is a charming detached lodge set high in the rolling hills of Shirenewton, just outside Chepstow, in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Perfect for a couple and their dog, this peaceful single-storey retreat enjoys uninterrupted countryside views and opens onto its own private terrace and gardens. Best of all, guests have the use of a five-acre field — a wonderful place for a dog to roam — making it a genuinely special base for a relaxing, pet-friendly escape.

Open-Plan, Comfortable Living

Inside is a bright, welcoming open-plan living space. The lounge has comfortable leather sofas, a Smart TV and an electric woodburner-style stove for chillier evenings, alongside a dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge and a washing machine — everything you need to rustle up a hearty meal. Patio doors lead straight out to the terrace, framing those glorious rural views. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, with a welcome pack on arrival.

Comfortable Bedroom and En-Suite

The spacious bedroom has a zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a super-king double or as twin singles on request, with countryside views from the window and a country-style dressing table. The en-suite shower room has a shower cubicle, a heated towel rail and a toilet, finished with painted timber and natural stone.

Terrace, Gardens and a Field for Dogs

Outside, a front garden has a sitting-out area and garden furniture, with a private terrace and two lawned areas — ideal for morning coffee or a sunset drink while you take in the view. Dogs are very welcome here, with the bonus of a five-acre field to roam freely, and there is private parking for two cars. The lodge is no-smoking throughout.

Shirenewton, Chepstow and the Wye Valley

The river is a favourite for kayaking and paddleboarding, and there is wonderful walking and cycling in every direction. Golfers can enjoy a round at the St Pierre golf course, and the welcoming Tredegar Arms in the village is handy for a meal or a pint.

Exploring Further Afield

There is plenty more to discover. The Forest of Dean, just across the border, is great for wildlife spotting and woodland walks, while the pretty town of Usk offers riverside dining and Monmouth has food markets and artisan shops.
