Phocle Ridge

Beautiful location and beautiful cottage!

We had the best time, we were all extremely comfortable and happy and wanted to stay even longer!!

This was our second stay at Phocle Ridge, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the views are outstanding, cottage clean and comfortable and Hot tub is a bonus !

Lovely little cottage with beautiful surroundings.

The cottage had everything you need for your stay and was very comfortable. The only slight downside was the hot water pressure. Not sure if anything could be done with this but even with this slight problem, the shower was ok to use. Was lovely having the use of the hot tub. ☺️ It was nice to have the little welcome pack the owners provided too. Both Carolyn and David were very welcoming and it was lovely of Carolyn to show us around and answer any questions we had. All in all a very pretty little place to holiday with nearby Ross on Wye for all your shopping needs. Happy to go back sometime as we didn’t want to leave

Excellent location, very pleasent surroundings and lot's to do with the Hot Tub being the icing on the cake.

Lovely cottage.

Cosy and warm. Great welcome from the hosts. Excellent for my dog as fully enclosed. Easy access to Ross. Beautiful views. Private. Hot tub a great bonus. Beds very comfortable. Postcode got you straight to the property on the Sat nav. Just needed small amount of maintenance- hot water in the bathroom tap and the kitchen tap was wobbly leaking slightly. Internet dropped off. Overall would stay again no problem at all. Highly recommend.

We have a lovely stay at Phocle Ridge.

Very comfortable for the two of us with easy access to the Wye Valley. Loved the hot tub. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at Phocle Ridge.

It is a real home from home and the views are amazing. Carolyn and David are friendly and accommodating people who are on hand if you need anything but otherwise leave you to it. It is extremely quiet at night and there is almost no light pollution which allowed us to sit out under the stars in the hot tub after long days exploring the surrounding area. WiFi is a bit sketchy but who cares! 4G is strong enough to get by without it. We would happily return.

Lovely cottage, very quiet and peaceful surroundings.

Great location near to Ross and the Forest of Dean. Owners very friendly and on hand to show you around. Hot tub was great too! Would recommend!

Lovely place, gorgeous view, well placed for trips out!

Will keep on coming!

Phocle Ridge is a great place to stay.

Carolyn and David are lovely and helpful. A problem with the hot tub was quickly resolved and we used it a lot. It’s a short journey to Ross on Wye where we ate at The Royal and Tweet Kitchen both of which we can recommend. There are lovely places within a half hour drive but we also spent a lot of time relaxing at the cottage. There was some machinery noise in the adjacent field a couple of afternoons but it is the countryside. The Moody Cow just up the road where we had 3 meals was outstanding. We would definitely holiday there again.

Delightful cottage in a fabulous area in the countryside beds very comfy and settee as well was greeted by the owner who showed you round property and was very helpful small tv but not an issue and fridge door needs adjusting which was quite annoying all in all a great place to visit

Fantastic stay!

The views from the property are stunning, the property is beautifully decorated and plenty big enough for us and our labrador. The hot tub was fab. David and Carolyn were excellent hosts! It's a fab location to get around the area with lots of lovely walks nearby! We will absolutely be returning one day, we wish we had more time there, 2 days just wasn't enough, we loved it!

Our stay was amazing from start to finish.

The views were beautiful, my granddaughter loved the horses visiting in the adjacent field. The hot tub was a welcome addition, the owners were lovely, we'll definitely be coming back.

We had a lovely time at the cottage.

The most peaceful place we have ever stayed in .David and Carolyn were lovely hosts we were blessed with lovely weather Perfect.

Our stay at the cottage was a truly wonderful experience.

I would highly recommend it for couples, families, and guests with pets. The property was exceptionally clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. While I would gladly give this cottage a five-star rating, the only drawback was the inconsistency of the hot water, which occasionally dipped or turned completely cold. If this issue is addressed, the cottage would absolutely merit a full five stars—especially with the added bonus of the amazing and incredibly comfortable jacuzzi.

Everything that is needed for a comfortable relaxing stay, was easily available.

The owners of Phocle Ridge, are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The Ridge is very clean and well thought out, so all needs are met. The views are spectacular and we used the hot-tub nearly every day. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return.

Had a lovely week in this beautiful cottage with stunning views.

On arrival we were met by Caroline who was very friendly and made us feel at home straight away. Thankyou for the welcome pack too, much appreciated. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and had a lot of homely touches, including fresh flowers. There are lots of lovely places to visit in the neighbouring areas and after a busy day we enjoyed relaxing in the huge hot tub before settling to our evening meal. Thankyou Caroline and David, we have really enjoyed our holiday at Phocle Ridge.

The cottage was lovely, warm, clean and comfortable.

The hosts are lovely people and quickly sorted out the couple of issues we had ie hot tub temperature and provision of a hair dryer.If you are taking a dog there are no walks directly from the cottage which is surrounded by fields occupied by horses.Also we have a small dog that managed to escape the enclosed garden by going between the conifer hedge.We advised Carolyn and I’m sure this will be sorted to ensure dog safety.We had a very nice relaxing few days exploring the local area.

We had a lovely stay here, it was the best way to celebrate the new year!

Everywhere was so clean and they really thought of everything! Looking forward to coming back in summer!

We had the best time!

The cottage is beautiful, homely with lovely extra touches. Carolyn let us in showed us round! The house was decorated for Christmas still (28th-31st dec) with a beautifully lit tree. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and just everything about the cottage was exactly what we needed. The hot tub was fab on a cold night and with no light pollution at night we could see the stars! Dog secure, and Ruby loved the outside areas! Our food delivery came and hour early and Carolyn put it all away for us - which we were super grateful for! Cottage was spotless and warm. The WiFi was fast enough, the hot water great and water pressure a little low (it is a cottage in the middle of a teeny village and we are used to fast WiFi and water!) but didn’t cause us any issues with showers/washing pots etc. the hot tub is a large one and is around the back of the property, very private! We explored Symonds Yak, Forest of Dean and popped over the to the Welsh border to visit Tintern. Super happy here and would return! Thanks for making the post Christmas lul a fabulous one!

The property is in a good spot, we had a lovely relaxing stay, and despite the weather's best efforts!

The place was really clean and tidy, and the hosts very welcoming! We had a lovely time and will likely stay here again! Hopefully with less flooding next time.

Lovely peaceful cottage,great hot tub would definitely visit again

David and Carolyn are excellent hosts and keep the cottage in very good order.

They are on hand to sort out any minor problems if any occur. The cottage is very well located for visiting the Wye Valley, particularly Ross and Hereford. Ross has some very good restaurants. The welcome pack was much appreciated and we enjoyed the hot tub.

ABSALUTELY WONDERFUL COTTAGE AND LOVELY PEOPLE

Fantastic stay, lovely home and smashing hosts

Carolyn was an amazing host, she could not have been friendlier or more helpful.

The cottage was lovely too at in a great location, only a short drive outside of Ross-On-Wye. All in all a great property and an amazing host. We would not hesitate to go back.

This is a lovely bungalow with wonderful views.

We enjoyed the hot tub.

Wonderful comfortable clean cottage with everything you need for your holiday.

The hot tub is a great asset, the views are outstanding and the location is great. The welcome pack was well received thank you .We would recomend Phocle ridge to everyone and do hope to return in the future..

Fantastic stay at Phocle Ridge - and absolute gem of a cottage and a real home away from home.

Excellent location so close to Ross on Wye yet in the peaceful countryside with beautiful views. Cottage was spotless and we loved the outdoor space too - perfect for our dog. Would absolutely recommend!

Lovely stay in a great location.

The property was very comfortable, furnished to an high standard and had everything we needed. We were met by Carolyn who showed us round, was contactable during our stay and offered some local tips for visits, food etc. Very quiet and relaxing and we loved watching the two pairs of red kites flying very close over the fields. Grateful for the welcome package too, thank you.

This is a wonderful get away base in a beautiful location with wonderful views of the countryside.

The owners have paid meticulous attention to detail for guests & thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay. There are plenty of lovely walks around as well as local towns to visit. The evenings are so welcoming spent in the hot tub in the sunset and the cottage just wraps its arms around you so cosily to nestle down for the night in peace and quiet. David and Carolyn the property owners are very approachable and accessible too. Thoroughly recommend this spacious accommodation, it really is a gem.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage.

Very clean and spacious with lovely views over the hills. Hosts live in the farm house next door and we’re very welcoming on arrival. Great outside space for the dog including a grassed area for them to run about in. Plus added bonus of an outside covered kennel should you need it. Great hot tub and little summer house. Lots to do , even out of season! Forest walks, castles, towns … Short drive into Ross on Wye where they have at least 2 high speed chargers ( for those needing an EV charger) Would definitely recommend for couples or friends with a pet. Would love to return.

Pros: Lovely view, location, hosts, clean cottage with amazing hot tub, comfortable parking space.

Washing machine was available. Cons: Kitchen sink tap, shower head were poor quality. Water system was not great. Not easy to work out how to balance the water. I was getting either very hot water or cold from the taps. No dishwasher. To access to the hot tub, needing to go out of the property.

A perfect base in a beautiful part of the country.

Delightful hosts, everything was there for us. The hot tub was heavenly. We will certainly visit again, thank you

Lovely location and property.

Every detail was very thoughtful and appreciated. We had the best stay :)

This is a lovely cosy cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside.

We were made really welcome by Carolyn and enjoyed a relaxing long weekend. It's clean and tidy and the kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was a bonus! Would love to come back again in the future.

We have just had a 4 night stay in this lovely cottage with amazing views over the open country side.

The cottage has everything you need for a home from home feel. Exceptionally clean and it was perfect for our little dog. The hot tub was great and very private. The new owners were most welcoming and the little welcome basket with the bottle of Prosecco was much appreciated. We would definitely return and would highly recommend it. Thank you

Fantastic bungalow, spacious, very clean and good attention to detail - I could happily live here!

Caroline the owner was happy to help with anything!

We've never before returned to a holiday rental, but this was our second year at Phocle Ridge, having booked for this year immediately after leaving last year.

Carolyn and David have created a beautiful home from home in an excellent location and couldn't be more welcoming. The cottage has everything we need and provides a base for easily visiting Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Wales in addition to easy access to a number of lovely golf courses.

Lovely cottage with great views, everthing you need, very comfortable.

carolyn a lovely lady, and dave, you made us laugh

We have just returned home from a great 2 night stay, this property is outstanding, clean and pet friendly our dog loved it.

There was a lovely welcome back left which included a bottle of Prosecco, which we enjoyed in the hot tub, biscuits and snacks. There was a BBQ, summer house to relax and the place was well equipped with all essentials. The views are amazing and there are lots of places to visit in the area, I would highly recommend and will be returning.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The outside areas were lovely and safe for our son. The hot tub was great. The view was beautiful and we plan to revisit the area again soon. We found Carolyn and David to be welcoming and friendly and they offered us some good tips on places to eat. We hope to book another stay soon.

All very good except toilet is very low for the more elderly client.

The owners are very helpful and friendly 10/10

The cottage was delightful , situated in a perfect area , the owners were very nice , and very helpful .

Larisa and Andre !!!!!

We really enjoyed our short stay here and would love to stay longer next time.

The hosts were a lovely couple and made us feel very welcome. The summer house was a lovely place to sit out of the hot sun while feeling like you are still outside.

A fantastic holiday in a beautiful part of the world.

The cottage was superb. Top class in every respect, beautifully furnished, well maintained and very clean. We had everything we needed and more. A gr,eat welcome and a nice welcome pack.

A beautiful bungalow/cottage in a stunning location.

Fully furnished to a high standard throughout with comfortable beds; a warm home from home feel. The Hot tub was a great addition with a spacious area outside to also dine and take in the beautiful views. The owners were very attentive and helpful with our requests throughout our stay. Would highly recommend.

This property is lovely and every effort has been made to make it comfortable and a wonderful place for a country break.

The views from the property are breathtaking.

Wonderful bungalow owners very welcoming nothing was too much trouble.

The views are outstanding

A joy to be in this so clean and well equipped cottage.

Beautiful position high for views and local for Ross On Wye. The owners were welcoming and friendly.

A very beautiful cottage.

We had an amazing week in this perfect location. The property is extremely comfortable, clean and has all the things you need. A big plus is the best hot tub we have ever had. Also lovely welcome pack/items very much appreciated. Would highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed.

The best holiday home we have ever had owners were very nice property was absolutely spotless lovely welcome pack and a gorgeous clean hot tub and the finishing touch was the lovely Christmas tree

An extremely comfortable cottage with an amazing view.

Lovely hot tub which was kept beautifully clean and chemicals not so strong that it dried your skin out. Comfortable beds and the cottage’s decor was very nicely done and for us, at least, felt like a home from home. Would highly recommend it for a relaxing break away.

We had a fantastic holiday at Phocle Ridge.

This started with a warm welcome from the owner who was very helpful, but didn’t disturb us during our stay. The cottage is well equipped and has a fantastic hot tub. There is a beautiful view. If we had been there over the summer, we would have made more use of the outdoor space. The cottage is situated in a perfect location for an east drive to Ross on Wye, Hereford, Great Malvern etc We will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and hope to return soon.

Such a beautiful place to stay!

Immaculate and peaceful, comfy beds and the kitchen is amazingly stocked with utensils, pots and pans and cleaning items. Highly recommend 'The Moody Cow' for a meal, ask to sit in the gazebo with the wood burner!

Lovely spacious cottage with excellent parking.

Everything thought out carefully and fully equipped. Surprise "welcome pack" in kitchen very much appreciated including flowers! Friendly helpful owners. Wonderful view and lots of seating outside including a hot tub for brave souls! Definitely hope to return. Sheila

Fabulous place.

Beautiful location and views. Layout perfect for us and the dog. Hot tub checked twice a day which was reassuring. Would be back again. The personal touches provided were lovely fresh flowers nibbles and Prosecco.

Fab cottage in a beautiful setting with wonderful hosts.

Children loved the hot tub and the dog drying room was perfect. The summer house is lovely to sit in and relax.

What a lovely cottage and hosts were extremely warm and welcoming.

Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was cleaned to a high standard and the owners had thought of everything for a comfortable homely stay. There was a bottle of prosecco and some nibbly bits on arrival which was a great touch. The hot tub was a huge hit to relax in and our daughter loved playing in it. The cottage itself has stunning views and plenty to visit nearby with a short car journey. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

What a lovely place.

The owners were so welcoming and had thought of everything we would need for a stay whether it was sunny or raining. We loved the hot tub, and enjoyed cooking on the BBQ. The facilities outside are brilliant, the summer house was so cosy and lovely to see that there were heating and lighting so this can be used all through the year. We went in a hot July so didn’t make good use of the to boot room and doggy drying area outside but I can imagine this would be extremely helpful in the winter. I highly recommend staying here and we will be looking to come back in the future.
