• "We had a fabulous week at the Old Sunday School."

  The space is great. Very well thought out for functionality and very attractive. It also felt homely with great wall art and books and lamps and nice bits scattered about. It was also really fantastic to have some basic cooking ingredients and a supply of tea and coffee, as well as other kitchen basics which are so helpful when self catering. In addition there were plenty of pots, pans and crockery etc. The TV and sound system plus wi-fi were also really appreciated. Upstairs.... the beds were very comfortable with plenty of space & fine bathrooms! All in all a great place to stay for a fabulous time away. Thank you so much Adam and Denise. We would like to return one day.

• "We had a lovely time at The Old Sunday School."

  Communication with Adam and Denise was excellent, always responding to our questions; before during and after our stay. We came to celebrate a 40th Birthday, the space was perfect for this, we were a party of 8: 6 adults and 2 children. We planned, cooked and ate delicious meals in the large and very well equipped kitchen. The house was super clean on arrival and we had everything we needed. We also had a food delivery which really helped start off our holiday. We visited loads of places nearby- puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, Bathurst Lido, we also did a morning of canoeing on the river Wye which was wonderful. We also did walks locally. We had a great time and would recommend to large groups.

• "I stayed at the Old Sunday School with a group of friends and we honestly couldn’t fault anything about the property and the service up until our stay."

  The hosts were easy to communicate with from the outset and very accommodating of our requests throughout. They were in contact throughout our stay and followed all our requests. The property is beautiful and has everything you’ll need for a group. The open-plan living and kitchen area is what drew us to the property and it didn’t disappoint. The bedrooms were all great in size and space and furniture was all comfortable, with decoration done to a very high standard. Everything was clean and it had all the amenities we could have needed and more. Thank you very much for our stay. We would definitely choose to stay again if in the area.

• "What an amazing house this is."

  We could not fault it in any way. The kitchen has everything and more than is needed with the dining area space as well giving ample space for 8 people to move around easily. The lounge was comfortable with extra touches of blankets if needed. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were extremely comfortable and expertly decorated/furnished. The owner was very nice too, offering to let us in early and leave a little later. This house is just stunning and I wish I could live in it permanently. I would definitely go back. PS. Best pub for meal was Miners Arms. Again amazing food.

  Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it . Michael Property Owner

• "The standard of the property was great it was exactly what we required for our family break."

  One disappointing part of the weekend was the lack of flexibility for a later check out than 10am on the last day. However, the biggest issue from the weekend was the departure procedure that was required either from the property owner or Sykes themselves. We are a clean and tidy family but the requirement to strip all the bedding, collect all the used towels, dispose of all the various recyclable materials into an outdoor facility (we’d already separated it into the correct receptacles within the property), clear out the main rubbish bin, etc. was all excessive. This was compounded by making sure this was all achieved by the afore mentioned 10am check out time. Is this kind of post-stay cleaning not a part of the rental price of the property? This would discourage me from using Sykes again.

  The reason for marking down on cleanliness and maintenance is 1 ,windows needed cleaning 2 ,light bulb out in chandelier 3 ,in need of new kitchen pans 4 ,kitchen cupboards inside and out needed a good clean

  I think you might be a little miffed that we couldn't give you the extra night you asked for, noted on the Chandelier, very hard to reach, need extra long ladders.. no issue in the house with cleanliness, the windows get cleaned consistently like the rest of the house.. Pots and Pans, noted we will have a look and ensure that any that are passed it are changed.. Property Owner

• "The Old Sunday School was a lovely place to stay."

  The decor was beautiful, with a feeling of space, luxury and comfort. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped and the lounge area and smart TV very nice to have. Communication with the owners was helpful and well-managed and the information pack very helpful. We found the location ideal for visiting a lot of places and it was good to be in a village with access to local shops for essentials.

  Thanks very much for the kind words Michael Property Owner

  We booked this for a family get together - there were 8 of us including 2 young children, and there was plenty of space for us all to live comfortably. The kitchen was very well equipped, including a big slow cooker. The beds were huge! Plenty to do nearby. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

  The kitchen was really well stocked with equipment and plenty of fridge space with 2 fridges as well as a wine fridge. The welcome gifts were a thoughtful gesture and went down well ! As a family with ages ranging from 20 months to 79 years this property suited us all and would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

  Glad you enjoyed the place. Thanks for the feedback. Michael Property Owner

• "Adam was a stunning host."

  He got in touch really early with information for our stay and was really responsive when I got back in touch with a question. The quality of the accommodation, location, facilities - (you name it) was superb. If you're considering staying at the Old Sunday School, just book it no matter what season and what the weather is likely to be!

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our week at The Old Sunday school."

  It is a beautiful property, beautifully presented in a stunning part of the country. We found plenty to do within a short distance from the property. We have hired many holiday cottages over the years, but this one was by far the best kitted out in the kitchen, we lacked nothing. We definitely hope to stay there again in the future.

  Great location for visiting the area. Very happy with our stay in this lovely house. The only downside was the the very poor reception of the channels on the TV. Despite appearing to have a large modern TV in the living room only the ITV channel was watchable.

• "Sykes themselves were difficult to contact, however The Old Sunday School exceeded our expectations."

  Perfectly kitted out with every little detail attended to. Extremely clean, very well equipped kitchen, utility etc. Outdoor space, although compact had everything it needed, nice outdoor furniture, a gas BBQ and a large bike storage shed. The hosts were quick to attend to our queries and left a lovely welcome hamper. Bream itself had a Spar, a Co-op, a cafe, a pharmacy and a fish and chip shop. The pub didn't appear to be open during our stay. We can highly recommend the fish and chips! The house is a short driving distance from activities like woodland high wires, segway trails, arts and crafts, cycling and walking trails, a steam railway and numerous places to mess around on the water. Thanks for a brilliant holiday in superb accommodation.
