If the accommodation at the National Diving and Activity Centre is full why not try a night or two at The Greenman Backpackers in Chepstow. Offering much more then your average hotel, the Greenman provides friendly accommodation for outdoor enthusiasts. Sleeping in private hotel style bedrooms, the self catering kitchen and lounge make this town centre hostel a real social hub.
