“What a wonderful time we all had in ...”

What a wonderful time we all had in this beautiful and extremely comfortable cottage. It was amply equipped with everything you could possible need and more! The owner of the cottage was very friendly and made us feel at home. The surroundings are beautiful and there are no ends of things to do/places to see. Would definitely recommend!

“First Class Accommodation”

I stayed at Longfellow with one friend whilst on a 3 day fishing trip. Immediately impressed with the high quality of fixtures, fittings and linen etc. Ginny the owner was very friendly and helpful. Heating was good with log burner if required. Kitchen was a little small but more than adequate for light cooking. All wifi and other electrics worked fine. Shop and pub within easy walking distance, about 3 minutes. Would thoroughly recommend.

“Everything you could ever want”

This cottage, which is deceptively large, has all the home comforts you could ever need. Yes the kitchen is small, but that is a small price to pay for such a wonderful place. The lounge with its log burner was great for the cold evenings. Whilst the bedrooms were both good sizes and the bathroom was just lovely. The cottage oozes character and charm and if that is not enough to make you happy the views from the windows are magical with rolling hills and valleys all around. Even the loo has a view!!! Set on a small holding with goats, sheep, ducks, and gease just to name a few, and the owner Jinny is next door. She is a wonderful host, showed us around the small holding, introduced us to her friends, and generally coulld not do enough for us to ensure we had the best time. There are 2 great pubs near by which both serve great food and local beers so no need to cook!!! The area itself has many great walks right on the doorstep, and a castle just to name a few things to do. If you have children then they will love the animals, and Jinny is always looking out for volunteers to help with feeding time. there are plenty of books available as well as a box full of games, which are great for playing on wet weather days. This cottage is one of the best we have been too and have no hesitation in recommending it. You will have a wonderful time, come rain or shine.

“Great cottage, great area, great host.”

Very well appointed cottage, stacked with everything just in case the weather is inclement. Good position, close to all the areas of interest and necessity. Ideal for family, including animals! Had a wonderful stay, and the landlady is a diamond.

“Thoroughly enjoyable!”

Enjoyed a wonderful week in this cottage with very helpful and friendly owner next door. Cottage is well equipped and comfortable, beds and linen etc etc. Would have given 4.5 stars, knocked half a star off because the kitchen is very small (although this is stated in the description) and also the garden is on the "main" road and although not busy with traffic, the traffic does go fast. If, like us, you have dogs that like to escape make sure the two gates in the garden are always closed.

About the location

GOODRICH

Symonds Yat 1.5 miles; Ross-on-Wye 4 miles.

This lovely, quaint village stands on the banks of the River Wye, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the wonderful Wye Valley, and borders the Royal Forest of Dean. The famous Goodrich Castle is situated within the village, a perfect example of a 12th century “Marcher Castle”. Nestling amidst the village’s picturesque houses are the delightful village hall, friendly shop and two friendly pubs serving good food. Close by, overlooking a large loop in the River Wye, is the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, in the heart of rural Herefordshire. This attractive town has timbered Tudor houses clustered around the striking 17th century Market Hall, and there are excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. Stroll along the lovely river bank, take a river cruise, or view the surrounding countryside from a hot-air balloon. Enjoy trips to Symonds Yat, Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains and the Forest of Dean, while The Cotswolds and Cardiff are less than an hour’s drive away.
