Old Coach Manor Holiday Home

A grand group holiday home for big gatherings near Chepstow

Old Coach Manor is an impressive, large holiday home in the peaceful village of Shirenewton, near Chepstow at the southern gateway to the Wye Valley. Full of character and sleeping up to sixteen across seven bedrooms, it is made for big family gatherings, reunions and special celebrations — somewhere a whole extended family or a large group of friends can come together under one roof in beautiful border countryside.

Room for the whole party

With seven bedrooms sleeping up to sixteen and generous, characterful living space, the manor gives a large group room to spread out by day and gather together in the evenings. It is the kind of house built for shared holidays — long meals around a big table, comfortable lounges to relax in, and enough space that everyone can find a quiet corner when they want one. Rather than booking several separate rooms or cottages, everyone stays together, which is exactly what you want for a milestone birthday, an anniversary or a multi-generational get-together.

A peaceful village setting

Shirenewton is a quiet village in the rolling countryside between Chepstow and the Wye Valley, so you get real peace and a sense of the countryside while staying within easy reach of towns, shops and attractions. It is a relaxed, rural base — ideal for a group that wants space and quiet, with plenty to explore close by.

Who it suits

This home is all about larger groups: extended families spanning a couple of generations, gatherings of friends, and special-occasion celebrations. Walkers and history-lovers are well placed for the Wye Valley and the castles and woodlands of the border country, while the peaceful village setting suits anyone who wants to get away from it all without being remote. If your group is large and you want everyone together in one characterful house, it is a strong choice.
