Very comfortable and well equipped property with helpful and welcoming owners. Good location with the cottage being located down a short track so away from the road and not particularly aware of adjacent farmhouse. Good views from the cottage and footpaths direct from there if you want to walk.

The cottage was a good size but warm and comfortable. Kitchen equipment was excellent quality, and well thought out. The location was easy to find, and an easy stroll to a good pub and a well-stocked village shop. Wonderful views. Excellent walking.

Unique and well-provisioned property with gorgeous views and very welcoming hosts. We were unlucky as it was extremely windy for part of our stay so the hot tub had to be secured but we could still use it, if we would have liked too. Made good use of the excellent village shop and visited Hereford.
