    As pubs have progressed over the last couple of decades, so have 'B&B's, not a few of which are…read morevirtually 'mini-hotels', but finding them is not always so easy. There are plenty of directories online, but I prefer to see a website! We were attending a function in Chepstow, which turned out to be pretty full (a lot of walkers go there to enjoy the Wye Valley and take part in organised walks). Having abandoned the possibility of accommodation in Chepstow itself, some kind soul recommended this establishment in Caldicot, just a few miles down the road. It is very comfortably-appointed and there is a separate entrance for guests, so that you do not need to worry about rousing the house at an advanced hour. Rooms include digital TV, a DVD player, WiFi, radio alarm and beverages and the bathroom is stocked with toiletries. It has a beautiful garden at the back (picture) although that is of course private. It is also conveniently situated next door to the church, opposite an excellent pub and just a couple of minutes away from Caldicot Castle, which is worth seeing. The town centre is not far away. Glynis and Gordon - the couple who run it - could not have been be more charming and have taken trouble to provide useful literature about the area in all rooms. On their website, the breakfast is mentioned and there is indeed a breakfast menu which is not always par for the course. The breakfast was also substantially above par for the course, with fresh and tasty local produce. If you are visiting that part of the country, I can certainly recommend it. One of best B&Bs I have stayed in.

    This place was the closest to our AirBnB just down the road, and our go-to for dinner on our…read morearrival. They've painted this a garish pink since many of the photos online were taken, which has the pub in a far more professional looking white. Let's start with the positive: inside, this place is really pretty. The layout allows for lots of little nooks and crannies, with the restaurant seating towards the back after a small but functional pub. Exposed brickwork and beams lend the venue a classy feel. The service was attentive and friendly and food came out quickly. Dishes seemed reasonably priced with a 10oz sirloin steak topping the menu at £18. Unfortunately, there's less positive news to report. Firstly, drinks are not offered as part of the table service. Neither are guests provided with a drinks menu or wine list (despite many being available behind the bar). Instead, guests are required to get up, go to the bar, order their own drinks and carry them to the table. That's despite our table being laid out with wine glasses (and glasses for water we were never offered or provided). The menu itself is extensive enough, however half way through our dinner we spotted a promotion for a dish that wasn't included. It turned out to be included on a specials list we weren't provided with but was scrawled on a specials board out of sight to more or less every table. Talking of the table, ours was sticky and needed a good wash. Once we ordered our starters we were actually asked if we would like clean cutlery for the next course. That's a first. The food itself was inadequate. Our steak was over cooked (medium rare was closer to well done) and the chicken coach tasted dry and I strongly suspected had been cooked from frozen. We left feeling this venue has bags of potential. It's appointed well but everything from our entrance went downhill (with the exception of a couple of delicious deserts). It needn't be that way. If they changed their silly drinks policy, provided a full menu, washed down the tables, gave a little more care to the food and generally extended the quality of the building to the experience of their guests, this would be at least a four star place to spend time.
