The First Hurdle Guest House is a local family owned business comprised of two former 18th century town houses situated in the heart of Chepstow near all the local amenities and touristic spots. It houses the multi National Award Winning Stone Rock Pizzeria, which was voted Best Pizzeria in Wales for various years running. The Guest House by run by the same family for more than 20 years.
Chepstow is a picturesque Welsh market town situated at the southernmost point of the Anglo Welsh border. It marks the southern starting point of the much cycled and trekked Offa’s Dyke path which has historically acted as the dividing line between Wales and England. It also sits just on the edge of two of the UK’s most renowned areas of natural beauty, the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. This area of the country has inspired writers and poets for centuries such as William Wordsworth, Dennis Potter, J.R.R Tolkien, and most recently J.K Rowling author of the Harry Potter books who lived and went to school nearby. Many tv series and films have also been shot on location in the Forest of Dean, including Robin of Sherwood, Dr Who, Atlantis, Merlin and Jack the Giant Slayer. Most famously of all, Star Wars The Force Awakens was shot at local beauty spot and tourist attraction Puzzle Wood. This part of the World stimulates minds and nurtures creativity, and once you spend any time here, you’ll begin to understand why.
