About
Nestled between the wooded country park of Caldicot Castle and the historic Norman Church of St Mary The Virgin, The Lychgate provides the perfect setting for a relaxing stay in the heart of Monmouthshire. Janice takes pride in offering a first class service, and will do everything she can to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Start the day in the calm environment of our breakfast room where you can help yourself from a selection of Fresh Fruit Salad, Cereals, Organic Yoghurts and fresh orange juice while you are waiting for your selection from the menu. My cooked breakfast contains only the finest ingredients with locally produced sausage and bacon, hash browns, roast tomatoes, mushroom and your choice of softly scrambled, poached or fried free range eggs. A hearty vegetarian option is always available and I am happy to cater for Vegan, Gluten free and any other special diets by arrangement. To accompany this there is always lots of freshly brewed tea or coffee and toast with a selection of preserves.
My philosophy is simple, we want your stay to be memorable and for you to go away feeling happy and relaxed. The bedrooms all have deep sprung beds with crisp clean linen, fluffy white towels and complimentary toiletries. Each room has digital TV with Freeview, a DVD player, clock radio, hairdryer and an extensive beverage tray. A selection of DVDs are available in reception for our guests to borrow. The en suite shower rooms are newly refurbished with luxurious showers, illuminated mirrors and shaver points.
