Well equipped and spacious cottage in beautiful countryside. Useful welcome pack and helpful owner next door.
This is the perfect holiday home for a restful short break though very weather dependent
Delightful cottage in lovely surroundings .Would love to return . Every possible comfort was there , the kitchen was so well equipped. . A great welcome from Stephen and Gayle when we arrived . A very comfortable and relaxing retreat , so peaceful too .
Very high standard of cleanliness, decor, furnishings, equipment and facilities. Lovely situation in the heart of rural Herefordshire. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Nice welcome basket of goodies on arrival!
A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting, peaceful and calm. Extremely well presented with lots of space for two people. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely welcome from a very friendly and helpful host
Great location, very comfortable, excellent hosts and a lovely hamper. We even enjoyed good weather. Only tip on first arrival is - don't follow Sat Nav. to find use Gale's instructions.
An excellent property. Very well equipped in a beautiful quiet valley with lots of good walking
Beautifully appointed property and a very warm welcome on arrival.
Wonderful cottage in a superb location ! All the facilities you could wish for. Lovely owners. Really great place ..
It was stunning .....fantastic getaway.... thank you for letting us stay
A lovely cottage in great surroundings with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Lovely quiet property making for a true 'rural retreat'. Had everything you would need for a week away. We had no particular expectations of wifi but in future, if possible (I realise speeds in rural locations can be slow) owner may wish to upgrade. It would have been good to have digital tv and on demand. But not essential. Owner very friendly on arrival and then left us to it which was ideal. All in all a great place to stay
A WELL FURNISHED AND COMFORTABLE COTTAGE WITH PRIVACY AND PEACEFUL AMBIENCE. BOOKING BY TELEPHONE A WELCOME CHANGE FROM THE USUAL ONLINE EXPERIENCE.
Lovely well-equipped cottage in lovely rural location. Very friendly and helpful owner who lived next door.
Wonderful getaway from it all The remote location made the environment perfect for appreciating local wildlife, birds and bats. The dark skies for start gazing at night was really appreciated. You can also have a chat with the local Soay sheep on the property. We had a great time exploring the local area from Ludlow Castle and town, Hay-on-Wye and Offa's dyke on the Welsh/English border. The cottage itself was perfect and had everything needed for the stay. In fact buying fresh from local shops during the day meant we cooked at night and enjoyed the property even more and even used the supplied Weber BBQ for great steaks. There was even a day where we sat and read on the patio (and this was in March 2022) with the sun keeping us warm. The wood burning stove was perfect and kept us toastie. Also appreciated the free supply of logs and kindling from the wood shed. The owners lived next door and after an initial visit and receiving a great welcome hamper we did not see again but are on hand if needed.
We had a fantastic stay despite the horrific weather! The owner of the cottage was really helpful on arrival and the cottage itself was beautiful.
The cottage was exactly as described. Gayle the owner lives next door and came to say hello and check we were ok. Nothing too much trouble. Ample supply of logs for the wood burning stove and excellent central heating. First class welcome pack too!!!
The cottage was perfect - decorated and furnished beautifully, comfortable and warm, and everything well thought through..e.g. ample plugs and reading lamps, excellent kitchen equipment, etc. We loved the location, surrounded by hills, woods and streams. Local town Presteigne was delightful. Owners friendly and helpful.
A thoroughly superb place, centrally located in beautiful countryside.
Blacksmiths cottage was well appointed and in a beautiful location. We found the access to the property difficult due to the extremely narrow roads.
