“Great Stay”
We had great service from the owners, who live opposite the cottage, and were very flexible on our arrival time, the property was lovely and clean, with sheets and blankets supplied, plenty of towels for all of us, (and there was 4 adults and 2 small children), fast WiFi connection this was handy as the mobile phone signal was a little bit "hit and miss", having said that, this was entirely out of the owners control. i have to say that it was a very relaxed atmosphere, just carry on and do as you please, if we needed anything just slip across to the main house and ask, nothing was to much trouble. The 2 bedrooms had plenty of storage space, along with an upstairs toilet, you did have to watch out for the low beams, but that just goes with the territory!.
Plenty of room to park vehicles, with a large lawned garden opposite fitted with lights, so no problem walking our 2 dogs there in the late evening, there is a large shed to the side of the property, just in case anyone with a dog would need to leave it there during the day for any reason, its more of an open barn, very open, but also very secure, so any dog would have plenty of room, this barn has a large gas BBQ that's available to use during your stay, with no shortage of gas supplied. Lots of Horse activity, but this isn't of any inconvenience, very informative conversations with some of the Horse owners, my grandson particularly liked a small horse called Scrumpy!
Good location for all surrounding areas, and only 8 miles from the Welsh boarder, so a fantastic base for walking the Black Mountains and a visit to the Skirrid Inn, the local pub is probably a 15 minute walk, but not the best roads to walk along, as one section is quite busy. All of the usual large supermarkets are no more than a 10 minute drive, there's also one of those fast food takeaways starting with Mc, near the shopping area.
What we liked the best! all of it! What i liked the least, some WD 40 could have been put on the doors & locks, to stop the creaking in the middle of the night, and save me having the rest of the family shouting at me!!.
A Great place you wouldn't be disappointed.
