“Lower Moor Lodge is a really lovely cottage, just right for our family Christmas.”

It was well equipped and warm with a lot of charm.

It was well equipped and warm with a lot of charm. The cottage is close enough to walk to Hay with lots of cheery pubs and shops to visit but quite enough to feel restful. The owner was happy to assist with a couple of minor questions and the communication with Sykes generally was very good. The fact that the wifi was not as strong as where we live was actually a bonus...less internet browsing made for more family chat!
Mr Humphreys June 2019

“Part of the garden was enjoyable, but gravel area and some parts of the garden were very weedy and appeared unloved which is a shame.”

some of the windows were unclean and full of cobwebs. a few more basic kitchen utensils would have been helpful as we had to purchase items in town. Otherwise a lovely cottage and an enjoyable stay.
Mr Smith March 2019

“It was a lovely comfortable, warm cottage.”

Mostly ground level but a couple of wooden steps to the bedrooms. Furnishings were of a high standard and the bed very comfortable. Easy walk into Hay-on-Wye (footpath for majority of walk - no issues where not) and a small Cooperative supermarket within two minutes. An outstanding organic butchers and an excellent deli in the town. Market day is Thursday. Oh and many book shops to browse. There are walks from the cottage. Very quiet, just exceptional country views (which were not really highlighted in cottage description). Plenty of birds and of course sheep. Good parking but the driveway is shared for around 30 yards with the track to the farm. Although easy to negotiate it became very muddy after a night of heavy rain. This isn’t a negative, just for information but there is no longer a red Rayburn range. Apparently it failed recently and it proved too costly to repair. Now replaced by a shiny red range by Belling with an induction hob (easily mastered with instruction manual for those like us brought on a Rayburn), three ovens and a grill. Rest assured that the main oven has a slow cook setting. We wiould definitely book this cottage again!

“It's a great location on the edge of Hay.”

The cottage is quirky and enjoyable for that reason.
Mrs Hayes

“It was warm and cosy, it had a really nice, relaxed, happy feeling about it.”

It was also perfectly positioned for hay-on-wye but gave us the countryside views at the same time.
Mr. L.

“Great cottage with good views nicely located.”
Mrs Cherubini

“Great location and house was extremely comfortable and had great views”
Mr S

“Over all a lovely peaceful cottage, nicely situated with lovely, well cared for gardens and ample car parking.”

\ \ \ Mr Phippard, August 2012\ \ \ The Garden and Views were lovely!\ \ \ Miss L July 2012\ \ \ The cottage is in a perfect location, is charming with a beautiful garden and is lovely and quiet. We would definitely consider returning to this cottage!
Mr Healy

“We have stayed at Lower Moor Lodge on numerous occasions.”

It is a lovely, characterful cottage within ten minutes' walking distance of the centre of Hay on Wye and its bookshops, pubs, restaurants and other shops. The area around Hay is stunningly beautiful, and there is excellent walking available. The town's (and local area's) largest supermarket (Co-op) is a couple of minutes' walk away on the other side of the road. When we had our dog, the cottage and enclosed garden were perfect for him. . \ \

“â€œThe Lodge was an absolutely stunning house set in a beautiful location!”

The house itself is immaculately presented and it's location is perfect (just 5 minutes from Hay on Wye, with access to gorgeous countryside walks and attractions). We had a lovely peaceful stay and we would definitely revisit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!â€ \ Charlotte, Oct 2016

“Loved it except for some rather low door ways for my 6'3 partner !”
Anderson

“Loved Hay on Wye, and the cottage had been so sympathetically refurbished that it had kept all of its original features but with the addition of 21st Century comfort.”
