Historic Charm in the Heart of Monmouth
Nestled within the historic market town of Monmouth, The Old School House Retreat is a beautifully restored Grade II listed townhouse offering the perfect blend of character, comfort, and modern luxury in the heart of the stunning Wye Valley.
New to the market, this spacious yet cosy retreat sleeps up to 8 guests and features 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and a private courtyard — making it the ideal base for families, friends, walkers, cyclists, or those simply looking to relax and unwind.
Tucked away on one of Monmouth’s most charming historic streets, the property combines original period charm with warm, inviting interiors designed to make you feel instantly at home.

Step outside and you’re just moments from the picturesque banks of the River Wye, scenic walking trails, boutique shops, artisan bakeries, traditional pubs, and Monmouth’s wonderfully quaint cobbled streets.
Browse for unique local finds, enjoy fresh produce from local butchers and bakers, or indulge in homemade treats from the town’s famous cafés and ice cream parlours. Be sure to visit the much-loved local farmers’ markets held every Friday and Saturday, where you’ll discover an abundance of fresh local produce and handcrafted delights.
For outdoor lovers and adventurers, the location is perfect for joining both the Offa's Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk, offering breathtaking countryside views and unforgettable walks through one of Britain’s most beautiful Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
