“Our third visit to this lovely ...”

Our third visit to this lovely characterful, comfortable and well equipped cottage. We have already rebooked for next year which says it all! Fantastic walking or cycling from the door and if you are taking your dog on holiday with you this cottage is genuinely dog friendly. The local pub is only a minutes walk away from the cottage where you will find a real traditional country pub welcome. Chimney Cottage is a gem and a great place to stay for a relaxing holiday!

“The cottage was very spacious for a ...”

The cottage was very spacious for a 2/3 person property and was also very well equipped. Being part of a 16th century listed building, it was also full of character. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog as well as for enjoying a glass of wine after one of the numerous walks in the area. The surrounding countryside is very appealing, with rolling hills and quiet lanes. We enjoyed good walks from the cottage as well as on the Offa's Dyke path which is only a short drive away and has gates rather than stiles, making it easier going with the dog. If you enjoy walking and like to get off the beaten track then this is the place for you, especially if you have a dog.

“The cottage was much more spacious ...”

The cottage was much more spacious than we had expected. It was lovely having the garden to sit in. There was lots of information about the local area which was helpful. It was all perfectly suited to our needs. We loved this cottage and its location. There was a lot to do in the area, both on fine and wet days.

“Chimney Cottage is by far the ...”

Chimney Cottage is by far the loveliest cottage we have stayed in; it was very dog friendly with a large, secure garden and the owners were very dog friendly too, their spaniel was a delight and very friendly! The cottage was very cosy and warm whilst feeling spacious too; it had everything you could possibly need including the hose outside for muddy paws! We felt so at home we didn't want to leave! The walks from the cottage were great and the local pub, two minutes walk away and dog friendly was a real treasure.

- Mr Williamson, March 2016
“This was our second stay at Chimney ...”

This was our second stay at Chimney Cottage. The cottage is lovely and cosy with a fabulous bathroom. There are beautiful walks from the cottage. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the cottage is very dog friendly. We found it easy to shut yourself away and relax for the duration of the holiday.

- Mrs Bramwell, March 2016
“Lovely,comfortable cottage”

We had a great week's stay at this beautiful, clean, comfortable cottage. It was an ideal place to stay with our springer spaniel who loved the enclosed garden and the lovely walks we did. The local pub was only one minute's walk away and we experienced a warm welcome whenever we went there. The food was typical pub fare but it tasted fantastic especially the gammon and home made chicken pie. The owners were very helpful and not intrusive. The welcoming eggs, milk and sponge were much appreciated. We know everybody has different tastes and needs but we would not hesitate to recommend this property especially if you have a dog. Ours was welcomed more or less wherever we went although she is a rescue with some issues and can be nervous of strangers. The area was very quiet and we liked watching the sparrows and house martins that were nesting under the eaves.

“Dog-o-licious”

What more could a dog wish for? Great garden, great walks, great local pub, somewhere to rest my weary head and happy parents! Everything was perfect, from the relaxed, warm welcome from the cottage owners, to the privacy of the cottage, even though it was cheek 'n' jowl to their home. Everything had been laid on for our comfort and even though it is just a one bedroomed cottage, it is roomy and very well equipped. Lots and lots to see within 20 minutes drive of the village and really good walking on our doorstep, including that vital 'last thing at night' walk around the mote and bailey that was within yards of our door. Quick tip - the most wonderful farmers market on the first Saturday of the month in Presteigne!

“Fantastic, superb, Lovely & wonderful!”

Very tempting to write a poor review so there is more availability next time we want to book! However, we've already booked our next stay and a poor review would be very unfair on Robert & Trish and all of you who are yet to discover this amazing Gem. The accommodation was superb. Clean, tidy, well appointed and very spacious. Has only one bedroom but that is large & so is downstairs and the bathroom, not the poky accommodation that sometimes accompanies a one bed cottage. Plenty of room for us and our dog Neo. It truly is a lovely cottage, the owners are very helpful and always available for questions but not intrusive at all. The local pub and the locals are absolutely great and very friendly. We want to move there! The pub, the Royal George is about 100 yards away & is probably the best local in the whole area, with good pub grub, although many others are worth a visit. we spent days out in Ludlow (gorgeous) and the nearest town is Presteigne which is sweet. Cannot recommend highly enough. Absolutely no mobile phone signal but some, including my wife. regard that as a bonus! WiFi, supposedly slow but we had absolutely no problem. Interesting walks from the door step, beautiful countryside & a great pub & friendly locals.......who could wish for more?!!

“Absolutely perfect in every way!”

I will be honest, we booked this cottage on Sykes Cottages as it was the cheapest of all the cottages with 4 ticks that accepted dogs and how glad we did! The cottage was absolutely ideal, with a private garden for Flynn where we often had breakfast or lunch/dinner. There was a brilliant pub, The Royal George, literally a stone's throw from the cottage where you could have a very good meal and the locals were very friendly. There were some great walks right on the doorstep, which was a bonus since you don't always want to drive somewhere. As for the area, wow! We hadn't been to the Herefordshire/Powys border before but it is stunningly beautiful with fabulous towns and villages in abundance. Visit Hay on Wye, Ludlow and Hereford and many more places for great days out. The cottage is attached to the owners' cottage but don't let this prevent you from booking Chimney Cottage, Trish and Robert were really lovely people, always discrete but available if required. We had a fabulous 2 weeks with, thankfully, wonderful weather. Highly recommended! [Only downside, no washing machine but this was because we were the first to book a fortnight and we were offered the use of Trish & Robert's if we needed.]

“Spacious and comfortable”

A beautiful spacious cottage. Dog friendly with enclosed garden. Lovely walks and interesting towns and villages nearby. An unspoiled part of the country to enjoy and explore.

“Beautiful spacious country cottage with lovely surroundings”

We have just returned from a weeks stay at chimney cottage and what a beautiful place it is, we nearly didn't choose the cottage as it said it was attached to the owners home, however I am so glad we did once there it feels detached and neither the owners home or the cottage really impact on each other it's more like you are neighbours, there is a lovely self contained garden which was great for our 7 month old puppy, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and home from home as possible. There is a local pub 100yds away that does lovely food and welcomes dogs, the locals are very friendly too. It is a lovely village with lots of walks and lots of surrounding areas to visit, we would highly recommend this cottage for a get away from it all break
