  • "A fabulous property."

    It was very warm and comfortable with all the equipment and facilities you could ever need. The owner, although not on site when we were there, couldn’t have been more caring. The welcome pack even contained a delicious homemade sponge cake. We are looking forward to visiting again and would highly recommend this property.

    What a find superb accommodation, delightful hosts Sue and David nothing was too much trouble. Didn’t see as much of Hereford as we would have like so will have to come back again. Thank you for all the extras especially the delicious cake and the apples.

    Thank you so much! The weather was truly awful for so much of your week and we were so sorry for you. (Not normal for lovely Herefordshire to have rain like that, but some comfort to know it was countrywide that week.) We are very happy that despite the weather you were warm and cosy and found the cottage comfortable. We do hope you will be able to visit again when the sun is shining and thank you for leaving the cottage so immaculate! Property Owner
