A tiny rural hamlet, scattered over the slopes of Howle Hill, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty overlooking the wonderful Wye Valley and with views towards the Royal Forest of Dean. Howle Hill is ideally located between the delightful historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, whose timbered Tudor buildings, striking 17th century market halls, majestic bridges, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants suit all tastes. Stroll along the banks of the beautiful River Wye, take a river cruise or view the stunning countryside from a hot-air balloon! Explore famous Goodrich Castle, a perfect example of a 12th century "Marcher Castle", or enjoy the renowned walks along Offa's Dyke and the Wye Valley Walk. Visit beautiful Symonds Yat (4 miles) with its towering rocks where peregrine falcons breed, and take the ferry across the river to the Wye Valley Visitors Centre. Visitors to this area can also enjoy day trips to delightful Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains and the scenic Brecon Beacons National Park.

“The views from the cottage were beautiful and grounds were nice and clean.”

The owners were friendly and there is a welcome basket. The downsides were the tiny staircase leading to upstairs bedroom which is pretty small and has no toilet facilities. The bed was not the most comfortable. Despite listing WiFi the cottage definitely doesn’t have this. You have to go outside and find a place to stand near the owners cottage to use theirs. ...

Despite this it’s a really lovely place and extremely well equipped. Cute friendly dogs. It’s great for walkers who are used to country roads

“Holiday cottage was beautifully presented and in a glorious location.”

Owners very helpful and welcoming - would definately stay again if ever in the area. Important to follow the simple directions to the property as we were unable to locate just with SatNav when travelling from a different direction.

“This is a beautiful cottage in a great location.”

And I had a lovely week of exploring the area but I think the owner really needs to bear in mind that the phone signal there is virtually non existant and they dont provide wifi so as a single traveller myself its important for me to be able to keep in touch with family. I was having to walk up the road every night to get a phone signal. The owner gives you the password to their own wifi but you can only get that if you push your equipment right up against the wood burning stove and then its very weak ... the cottage next door couldnt get any signal at all . The complimentary jam crisps and cider were a very nice touch but after a 180 miles drive all you want is a cup of tea so a complimentary tea and coffee tray would have been great

“The cottage was well clean, comfortable, well presented and situated in a peaceful area.”

The only downside was the narrow spiral staircase up to the bedroom which you had to be fairly agile to cope with.

“Beautiful 1 bed cottage on a small farm that keeps Alpacas & a rare breed of black sheep.”

The cottage was extremely well furnished and the kitchen area included a dishwasher and washing machine. The luxury bathroom had a walk in shower. Although a bit off the beaten track the quietness of the location and beautiful views from its high vantage point made it ideal for those looking for a peaceful holiday. It's just a 10min drive to Ross-on-Wye and 5mins drive to the Mill Race, the nearest Pub/restaurant. A friendly place recommended for meals. Also worth visiting is the No.3 Restaurant in Ross-on-Wye. Paul and Edwina made us feel very welcome. A nice touch was the welcome basket which included some local goodies. A bonus for keen gardeners is Howle Hill Nursery, just a couple of minutes walk away. This is a gardener's paradise which has won 9 gold medals at the Chelsea Flower show, so well worth a visit. We had a week of hot sunny weather so the coolness of the cottage with its thick walls, made coming back to it after a day touring around, a pleasure. Highly recommended.

“Stunning”

An absolutely gorgeous little cottage! Possibly the most peaceful place I have ever been it was a wonderful base for a restful break in this beautiful part of the world. We were made very welcome and the alpacas, sheep and dogs were very popular neighbours for our children! Thank you we loved it

“Fab - u - lous”

Beautiful home from home cottage. Wood burning stove easy to use - very cosy property - perfect for chilly autumn evenings. Couldn't fault anything. Love this part of the country. So much to see and do - even in late Autumn! Sunset at at Tintern Abbey only beaten by watching the moon rise over the valley. Will definitely return and recommend :-)

“Idyllic Country Cottage”

Ideal cosy cottage furnished to a high standard. The hosts were warm, welcoming and accommodating and left us a lovely welcome basket of local produce. The views from the cottage are stunning and there are direct walks from the property and surrounding areas. There is a wealth of information provided within the property which included Local areas of interest including Leominster which has a small market, and has numerous tea shops and Tudor buildings, Hay on the Wye which is a book town and well worth a visit. Monmouth with the Nelson Museum, and the Courts. Crafts centres including Taurus crafts and the Hop Pocket Village are also worth a mention. The area has lots of attractions for families and children and local pubs are accessible by car or a steep walk.

“Quiet, everything to feel comfortable, place we like to stay,”

Ein wunderbarer Platz, wenn man es ruhig mag. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, sogar das Kochen macht Spaß. Einziger Nachteil ist eine etwas enge Wendeltreppe in die zweite Etage. Ausstattung, Ambiente, Sauberkeit und die Hilfsbereitschaft der Vermieter sind einfach super!

“Ramble around Ross!”

We had a super stay here and did plenty of walking directly from the cottage. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped but the shower-room sink made wet shaving rather difficult! Similarly the circular stairway did not allow much freedom, but all in all...super!

“True 5 star cottage, classy, cosy, perfectly placed and peaceful”

When we arrived we were knocked out by the views and location. All needs are provided for and we received a lovely welcome from the owners. The cottage is a real home from home and perfectly placed for exploring Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, plus a path outside the property leading directly onto the Wye Valley Walk. Don't miss Litttle Dean Jail for a weird day out...and for a more tranquil adventure (but equally eerie!) Clearwell Caves is a must. This place is a real gem!
