The Legacy Abbey Hotel - Tintern
Chepstow, Gwent

The Abbey Hotel sits in a prime location on the side of the beautiful Wye Valley. We are overlooking the ruins of the famous Tintern Abbey. Parts of the building date back to 1206 when it was inside the original precinct wall of the Abbey, and some remaining arches in the hotel have the same aspects as can be seen in the Abbey ruins. To keep pace with increasing visitor trade, the hotel was upgraded over the years until, in 2002, it was completely refurbished by its current owners, Robert Cook and David George. The suite of function rooms, entrance foyer, barbecue garden and terrace are perfect for any occasion, from a small boardroom meeting to a function serving 100 people. In fact the Abbey Hotel is fast becoming a prime venue for that most special occasion of all. The Abbey Hotel enjoys 3 star ratings from the Welsh Tourist Board and the AA. It also holds the prestigious Welcome Host Gold Award Hotel- the only one in Monmouthshire. In March 2004 the hotel was presented The Green Dragon Award for its work on environmental action. For business, leisure or tourism, the Abbey Hotel is a delight for discerning people who enjoy being spoiled. With twenty-three luxuriously appointed rooms, ample parking, the glorious views of the historic Abbey ruins and the delightful wooded Wye Valley, you'll want to return again and again to the traditional country hotel with state-of-the art facilities.

Chepstow is an attractive market town situated where the river Wye meets the Severn Estuary and where Gloucestershire in England meets Gwent in Wales. The Wye cuts through the opposing cliff faces of the Welsh and English border and over looking it is the once mighty Chepstow Castle. Chepstow is a bustling town today and many visitors stop off between England and Wales for a few hours to amble around the castle and the town walls. Most visitors from Britain come to Chepstow for the famous racecourse just north of the town, home to the Welsh national, this is Wales main horse racing course.
