“Relaxing retreat”

- Mrs Cox, January 2020
“Quiet and very rural location - peaceful!”

but accessible Facilities - comfy beds, rooms pleasantly warm with plenty of walking, pubs, National Trust, etc (seasonable), - a few miles to Shobdon Airfield for light aviation enthusiasts to watch or take a trial flight with a professional pilot Not far from Morrison's supermarket on outskirts of Leominster town. "Croft View" very comfortable and we enjoyed seeing the horses Our only (polite) "moan" was the shower which was more like a gentle "trickle" of water rather then a wake up call first thing in the morning! -:) Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Croft View and would recommend to others THANK YOU SYKES!!

- Dr Woof, December 2019
“Wonderful stay, thank you”

- Mr Garner, November 2019
“We had a very peaceful, comfortable break away from the real world!”

Croft View has wonderful views of the countryside, and I spent most mornings watching the wildlife and the horses with their foals. Candy is very welcoming and informative, at the same time giving her visitors space - a balancing act well performed! We had a lovely welcome hamper which was much appreciated after our long drive. It is a beautiful area, and a great base for exploring Herefordshire. Croft View has space to walk your pooches without having to go very far, which was perfect for us and our elderly pooch. The Angel pub is within a five minute drive and extremely welcoming to visitors with dogs, and has good food too - we went 3 times! Ludlow Castle is also very accommodating to dog owners, with an undercover, warm area of the cafe for dog owners. I highly recommend Croft View, I was sad to leave and want to return! Thank you Candy, this week was very special for us xxxx

- Mrs Whatley, September 2019

“We arrived on the Friday on the Saturday we went to cook our evening meal we turned the Cooker on at the socket on the wall and the Electrics blew, we contacted the owner who was next door and she reset the fuse so we tried and agon thr electrics blew this happened a further time.”

After the third attempt it was agreed we couldn't use the cooker, we only had a microwave to cook with this was Saturday evening. On the Sunday morning we were told an electrician couldn't attend un til Monday lunch time still we had no facilties to cook with I challenged the owner with this and were offered to gas rings to cook on??? How can you cook a chicken and a pie on a gas ring, we had no cooking facilities for two days.

“We have stayed in this apartment twice.”

The first time was in Winter, and the apartment was extremely cosy. The second time was late Spring and the apartment was just as nice with the added bonus of great weather, fantastic scenery and mares with very young foals to admire. Lots of things to do in the area, even when the weather is inclement.

- Mrs Pedder, May 2019
“The views from the apartment were stunning, the quiet location was relaxing, the apartment was in very good order and the luxury goodies were most welcome, thank you.”

- Mrs Poll, May 2019
“Richard and Candice are excellent hosts.”

Loved the welcome pack , impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the interior. Great views with the added bonus of mares and foals in the paddocks. There is so many interesting places to visit around Leominster and surrounding areas that I couldn't possibly get around to seeing them all. A great excuse for a return holiday. Denise and Jez.

- Miss Green, May 2019
“THE SETTING IS AMAZING AND THE PEOPLE ARE WELCOMING AND VERY HELPFUL.”

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY RELAXING.

- Mr Tuck, February 2019
“Great little apartment, brilliant views and so peaceful.”

Owner was really friendly and helpful. We are certain to come back.

- Mr Lane, October 2018
“What a fantastic location.”

Lovely little cottage and perfect for the weekend. The owners were kind and helpful. Thank you so much for the welcome pack. Would very much recommend this unspoilt area.

- Mrs Turner, October 2018
“Excellent comfortable place to stay with opportunities to explore superb countrside”

Homely apartment with super welcome pack. Met on arrival by Candy and Larry the dog. Wonderful to see the natural surroundings with horses, deer, birds of prey and numerous other animals and birds in the local area. Super base for visiting National Trust and other historical buildings and nature reserves. We did not try the local pubs but understand all very good for food, Sorry to have to go home. We do not have a dog but would have been perfect.

- Mortz198, September 2018
“Perfect hideaway with tremendous views from all windows.”

So peaceful and so quiet - a great holiday retreat. Very comfortable bed and a very cosy, well equipped place. Lovely fresh flowers and a bountiful welcome basket on arrival. Our host Candy was very friendly and helpful and we would love to return again next year.

- Mr Hall, August 2018
“Fantastic quiet holiday enjoyed it very much”

- Mr Midgley, July 2018
“On paper the accommodation looked good but lacked a lot.”

There was a lack of cooking utensils for one thing and a lack of crockery, some was chipped.what was there. The hob was well worn, did not use but used the oven, just OK. The fridge was too small to be of any use. Some elements of the kitchen really needed re-designing, the space was there but not put to good use. The kitchen area looked very dated. The front door did not close properly. We did`nt have hot water for 5 days and the water was turned off twice as the owner was trying to find the leak, On the positive side, the views were brilliant and we enjoyed watching the horses. We did have some good days out and tried to stay out as long as we could. We have stayed in better. Sykes rating is far too high of this property.

- Mr Allen, June 2018
“The situation of the property was excellent, but there were one or two things unfortunately wrong with the property.”

The cooker did not work on the top properly and it was very difficult to cook vegetables for example. The oven did work but we could not cook things which required boiling or frying. The interior of the cooker had not been cleaned very well. Also, the owner did not tell us about how to sort the rubbish for collection until I asked her. This meant taking items out of the bin and putting them in other bags. An information book or sheet would have been helpful. Having said that the wifi worked well which is not always the case in cottages!

- Mr Taylor-gooby, May 2018
“The cottage was lovely and the welcome pack was a lovely gesture and helped supplement the supplies we'd brought with us.”

The farmer and his wife were welcoming and gave us information about local places to eat. We would definitely use this cottage were we to come back to this area.

- Mr Blaikie, May 2018
“Beautiful location and cosy apartment with fabulous views.”

Lovely host and welcome pack. Fantastic week of relaxation and exploration

- Mrs Hailstone, May 2018
“This is a comfortably furnished and well equipped, dog friendly apartment located in a peaceful rural setting with some lovely views .”

It’s a good base to explore the area and there are 2,good pubs located about 2 miles away in the nearby village of kingsland serving excellent food . We received a warm and friendly welcome and despite some snowy cold weather the apartment was warm and cosy with excellent heating . Very good vfm and thoroughly recommended .

- Mr Jones, March 2018
“We had a terrific time staying at croft view.”

With a 6 month old baby and two dogs we were both in need of some rest and fresh air. This is exactly what we got. The apartment had beautiful views and was lovely and cozy. It was clean, well equipped to cook each nght and beautifully decorated. Candy had gone to great trouble to accommodate our baby and it made a great difference. We saw pheasant from the windows each day, and deer twice. All in all a wonderfully restful stay that I would recommend to others.

- Ms Zalcman, March 2018
“Peace and Tranquility”

My husband, myself and our dog had a lovely time here. The owners are very pleasant but unobtrusive. The bed and bedding are superb. The welcome pack is a thoughtful bonus. There are miles of walking on the doorstep and yet you can get to Leominster and Ludlow reasonably quickly. The peace is amazing with just birdsong and the occasional whiney from one of the mares. Will certainly visit again

- mrsdizzle, July 2017
“Home from home”

Fabulous place. Lovely views, everything you need for a peaceful break. Would definitely recommend this area lots of great walks, and places of interest.

- 343Tighe, April 2017
“Great accommodation, welcome, views, all round fantastic!!!”

I booked this accommodation as a 'get away from it all' place to get some much needed study completed. On my arrival the accommodation was spotlessly clean and a real home away from home! So peaceful and relaxing...almost a little too relaxing given the amount of work I had to do! Candy the owner was a great host and the welcome pack provided on arrival is the best I've ever seen. I was left reluctant to return to the hustle and bustle of the real world! I will definitely be returning so I have an opportunity to explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the property, in fact if this property wasn't already booked I would have extended my booking and stayed a few more days! Can't recommend this property enough!

- Ann-marie M, May 2015
“Peace & Quiet”

Warm welcome on our arrival, Welcome pack. Warm and cosy cottage with superb views. So quiet and relaxing. Excellent hosts and pet friendly too. We intend to return.

- Billybilge, September 2014
“A hidden gem!”

We have had short stay holidays all over the UK this year, but this little gem is by far the best! The elevated position gives sweeping views over rolling countryside in all directions and is perfect for wildlife and bird watching. From the moment we arrived, we could start straight on to our relaxing break due to the warmth of the welcome, the unusual generosity of the well thought out "Welcome Pack", the very comprehensive equipment and the comfortable high quality furnishings - not to mention the beautiful flowers. This little holiday let is more like a 'home-from-home' due to the care and thought put into it by the considerate and helpful owners. With lovely walks and places of interest on the doorstep + old towns like Leominster, Hereford and Ludlow with in easy reach, we definitely plan to return soon in a different season.

- John R, September 2014
“Relaxing”

We've just spent a week at this fantastic cottage. On arrival we were greeted by Candy. The owner and what a lovely person. Very helpful. When we walked into the cottage, Candy had left a lovely welcome tray/basket for us with fresh bread, eggs, wine and even some provisions in the cupboards just incase you forget anything. The place is spotlessly clean and very cosy. You are located about 10 mins drive from Leominster, where you will find supermarkets, fuel and some rather nice cafés. To the south, there is Queenswood estate. This has lovely woodland walks and In Kingsland village, you have two hostelries, The Corners and The Angel. Both serving excellent food and drink. You are also located in an area known as the black and white trail. This trail follows a route of about 40 miles around some very picturesque towns and villages, all with the famous black and white timber framed buildings. We have enjoyed our stay so much that we booked for next year.

- Andy F, September 2014
“Croft View”

What a fabulous setting and what a great welcome! Loads to do and see round about and a very well-equipped property. Lots of bird life - we heard a cuckoo within a minute of arrival. So peaceful and off the beaten track but by no means remote. Excellent directions made it easy to find. We shall return!

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
“Heaven on Earth”

The accommodation was spotless and to a very high spec. The owner, Candy, was very welcoming and has thought out everything you would need for a perfect break. The outlook is amazing, terrific views over the valley in the heart of the countryside. If you're thinking of booking this cottage ,don't hesitate ,do it now. You'll have a great time and we'll be going back as soon as we can. Can't recommend highly enough.
