    The house is absolutely beautiful and the log burners were cosy. Definitely recommend a visit.

  • "It was a fantastic house for a big group to all get together- the two sitting rooms meant the adults and children both had their designated spaces."

    Great location to explore the area too. Thanks for having us!

  • "Lovely big house for a family get together."

    Kitchen and dining area are superb and very well furnished. Two living rooms/lounges are ideal to allow for splitting into groups, i.e. games in one and quieter time in other. One loo was blocked on arrival but was sorted very quickly after reporting. Parking is not ideal but we arrived with 4 cars and managed to park without a problem. Lovely welcome pack of milk, bread, eggs and panettone. Had a great stay.

    The house is beautiful, the kitchen is a wonderful space to cook and eat in and the beds are extremely comfortable. It was lovely to have one of the living rooms with an TV and the other without.

  • "Location was really good."

    The Christmas tree was a nice touch. As was a delicious cake made by the housekeeper. Communication was excellent however the house was very tired and needs lots of TLC. The lounges were freezing cold, wood was damp so had to purchase fuel. One of the fireplaces was unusable, smoked and the fumes were awful. Kettles either didn't work and one that did needed descaling. Some kitchen utensils needed replacing.. icemaker and water chiller was broken although they did provide isome ice. Under ione of the beds there was wood with a nail sticking out. Usb plugs missing so no music. With a good bit of maintenance this house could be lovely but at the moment it is definitely not a 5 star rating. However the location was great and we did have a fantastic time with the family.

    Beds were amazing and bed linen lovely. However, we are a group of 8 friends and we did find that whilst the 2 lounges are lovely it was difficult for us all to sit comfortably together in one room. We had a couple of maintenance issues but Charlotte was immediately responsive . Hamper was a welcome surprise- thank you.

It was very clean, the beds and bedding were excellent and bath sheets provided. The owners had left a large home made cake, fresh eggs and bread and honey for us which was a lovely touch. Plenty of condiments in the cupboard. washing up liquid and dishwasher tabs. Everything has been well thought out. We had everything we needed to make meals for all of us in the kitchen. Large pans and trays, plenty of crockery and glasses. Utensils galore! It was great to have everyone together in the kitchen dinner so no one felt left out when cooking or clearing up. The dishwasher was a God send! There is plenty of room to get away form everyone with 2 lovely lounge areas. One with a TV and one without. The outside space is beautiful with a large table and chairs to sit around and grassed area with gorgeous flowers. . A short stroll to the river. Good local pub nearby, and Indian restaurant just across the road if you don't want to cook! We were all very impressed and are already planning another weekend away here next year.

  • "Viaduct house is a great place to stay for people who like entertaining at home and for people who like country activities: there is so much available without driving."

    I cannot imagine a more perfect setting for outdoor entertainment in the summer but we did not use in January. The kitchen is perfect for up to 14 people and there is enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for 20. We were greeted with a delicious and giant home-make cake as well as a selection of local produce in a wicker basket. The bedrooms are all of ample size and the combination of double and twin rooms makes the accommodation very flexible. This is all excellent and unusual but it makes being there easy. The sitting rooms only have seats for 7 in the room with the bay window and 4 in the other room, so getting together as a group is a bit of a squeeze. For day to day washing we found the glass programme in the dishwasher the best for crockery, cutlery and glasses straight from the table, the other programmes took hours. There was a broken champagne flute in the sink when we arrived and all of the wine glasses in the cupboard needed washing being clouded with a milky film and two were cracked. Not perfect but hardly a trauma. The shower on the first floor did not drain leaving people standing up to their ankles in water. We bought sink un-blocker and solved that. Perhaps the most important way of working out if we would recommend Viaduct House for a holiday is to let you know that we are looking into booking another week in the summer of 2022, so we can use the outside spaces and the local walks more. Large houses to rent are not easy to find and very few are really capable of accommodating the number they claim in comfort. Viaduct House is good

    Great location for accessing the river Wye and all of its activities. We swam in the river yards from the house! Only down side is the parking - the house is set back from the road and the front of the house was full with local residents cars. We had to leave the cars parked on the verge of a fairly busy road further up the road which actually was fine in the end once we realised. Also the house and gardens both have lots of steps - you need to be reasonably agile!
