  • "Lovely home from home property."

    Cosy and clean. Owners and Monty very welcoming and helpful. So many walks and places to visit. Amazing views. Recommend riding at Tregoyd and eating at Nags Head. Been back 3 times now.

    Our Labrador loved running around the fully enclosed garden and meeting Monty.

    Set in the beautiful surroundings of the owners' garden, it is very peaceful and well equipped. Christine is a most generous host and Monty, the Irish Red Setter made Molly

    Quiet and peaceful, but only a 20 min drive from Hay-on- Wye. The owners were really friendly and helpful, I felt very welcome and would return again.

  • "It was a lovely place and the owners are lovely to!"

    ! However the bed is not that comfy! However not much really too do round there other than walks but even then it’s not good as the roads are not made for walking and pitch black at night!! Had to drive out to places during the day to do stuff! But did go to the local pub Nags head which isn’t far and lovely owners and food.

  • "The Chocolate House was lovely and cozy, with stunning views."

    The hosts, who live a few metres away, were delightful, friendly and welcoming, as was their beautiful Irish setter. My Labrador and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Bringing food and drink supplies is helpful; the village shop has the basics but it's a bit sparse and the nearest bigger shop is nearly 10 miles. Nice village pub, but again other places to eat will probably involve getting in the car.

    A bottle of wine and milk along with a few bits & piece's were left for our enjoyment. A lovely private garden, very quiet & peaceful. We had a lovely week travelling around Herefordshire. Had a great Sunday roast at the Pandy Inn in Dorstone, a few miles away from the cottage, we were made very welcome with our dog by the Landlady.

  • "Owners were very pleasant and helpful."

    Cottage smaller than expected. My issue is not with the cottage or the owners. It is with Sykes. Outstanding queries about the extra costs still not dealt with. After using Sykes many times I am now having second thoughts about you.

  • "Our hosts were really friendly and helpful."

    Monty the dog was lovely and got on well with our dog. Although the cottage was in their garden we had our privacy. This cottage was in a really beautiful part of Herefordshire and easy for us to get to where we wanted to go. Plenty of walks near by and places to get to by car. Thankyou for a much needed break.

  • "Lovely, friendly owner who made us most welcome, as did Monty - what a sweetheart he is!"

    Cottage was initially a bit difficult to find, because it is tucked away up a narrow country lane, in a quiet location, set within pretty, well maintained gardens. It is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We particularly appreciated the decent shower cubicle in the bathroom. Wifi was a little slow and patchy, but we managed fine. Peterchurch has some excellent facilities and it is very handy for Hereford, Hay on Wye etc and is on a bus route. You can walk to the bistro (which alas was closed when we were there - owners were on holiday) and the two local pubs - the Boughton Arms and Nag's Head - the latter is one mile (20 mins walk) with great food, freshly cooked by Karen. Further afield is the Pandy Inn (excellent food too) and the dog/family-friendly Poston Mill. Needless to say, we ate out every evening.

    In spite of the rain, we had a very relaxing and tranquil holiday which is why we went. The freedom to use the garden was great as the owners have a large variety of flowers to admire and the perfume of the roses planted near the door to the chocolate house was superb.

    The owners and their dog were very welcoming and friendly. The nearest pub allowed dogs in and the food was very good. Although small, the cottage was extremely comfortable. Great location.

About the location

PETERCHURCH

Hay-on-Wye 10 miles; Hereford 12 miles.

The village of Peterchurch, with its handful of pubs and restaurants, is situated on the River Dore in the beautiful Golden Valley, flanked by the Black Mountains to the west and gentle hills to the east. Just 10 miles away is the wonderful market town of Hay-on-Wye, famous for its 30-plus book shops, excellent pubs, restaurants and antique shops, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in Wales. Surrounded by pastureland and woodland, covered in primroses, violets, celandine and bluebells during spring, the village is also close to the Offa's Dyke and Wye Valley walks. The epitome of picturesque England, the ancient city of Hereford lies 12 miles away and dates back to the 7th Century, boasting a magnificent cathedral, the famous 'chained library', and a medieval bridge over the winding River Wye. A great location with plenty to see and do for all the family.
