Location
Welcome to Inglewood House, Country House Bed and Breakfast.
Inglewood House is situated in Redbrook in the glorious Wye Valley on the border of England and Wales and is right on Offas Dyke. The river Wye is directly across the road and the Royal Forest of Dean rises from the back of the garden.
Monmouth is two miles away and Tintern is seven. A bus stops outside the house taking travellers to Monmouth in one direction and to Chepstow in the other passing through Tintern en-route. Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat, Hereford, Ledbury, Ludlow, Abergavenny, Brecon, Gloucester, Hay on Wye, Bristol and Cardiff are all an easy day out from here.
For walkers Offas Dyke runs along the back of the house and the Wye Way walk is to the front. There are many other walks from the doorstep.
From Redbrook the route down through Llandogo and Tintern passes through some of the most spectacular scenery found in the Wye Valley.
There are a number of outdoor activities on offer in the area such as Golf, Canoeing, fly and river fishing, walking, road cycling, mountain biking, horse racing at Chepstow etc.
Nearby is Clearwell Castle and caves, Goodrich Castle, Butterfly Zoo, Hedge puzzles and mazes etc.
The house
An historic house Inglewood is old and quirky with a wealth of interesting features. We have open fires in the bedrooms, a circular staircase, portcullis gates and a non opening doorway halfway up the staircase. Two bedrooms have Hessian or leather panelled walls for hanging wallpaper.
The main part of the house dates 1738 with the oldest part being much older possibly prior to 1650. Unfortunately the design and age of the house renders it unsuitable for wheelchair access because of the number and style of steps and stairs.
Inglewood House offers three spacious bedrooms two of which have their own ensuite bathrooms and the third has it’s own private bathroom. Bed linen is white Egyptian cotton and bathrobes are provided in all rooms. There are electric blankets on all beds and hot water bottles on request. Bath towels are soft white and fluffy. Toiletries are of luxury hotel grade. All rooms have a flat screen television with remote controls and dvd players with a selection of films. An Ipod player/charger is available in all rooms. There is free access to wifi throughout the house. Please be aware that it can be difficult to pick up a mobile telephone signal although we do have an EE booster. Tea and coffee making facilities are available with home made cakes time permitting.
There is guest seating area in the entrance hall and on the first floor.
