White Roses

Honestly, absolutely brilliant!

I think this was an excellent property - loads of space both inside and outside, everything you could need in the kitchen, a working BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating, comfy beds, lovely location, enough parking spaces in the drive for everyone - everything was great. All my friends also had very positive comments! 100% would come back again & would recommend to others! If I HAD to find something to suggest as an improvement, maybe the water pressure in the showers could be improved? But that's probably very hard to do with 3 people showering, dishwasher running, people washing hands etc.

Overall we had a lovely time and would consider staying again if a few things were improved on.

Positives: - Lovely spacious cottage, especially for those with larger families and kids. - Spectacular garden with apple tree and garden furniture, bedroom views were gorgeous (hill views). - Lovely kitchen with large dining table, ample space, plus large refrigerators and plenty of crockery/cooking utensils. - Comfy couches and great smart TV. - Lots of storage spaces everywhere. - Decent sized parking - Ironing, washing, hair dryer facilities were great - Good location - plenty to do! Most concerning negative incident: On the first day we arrived, one of our young children (3 years old) found a green capsule under the bed (the bedroom with only 1 double bed - first floor), and tried to eat it. Thankfully his mother spotted this and stopped him. On the second night, he found a small white tablet in the same bedroom. Again his mother had to take it away from him. Neither of these were from anyone in our party. It’s extremely concerning and could have been potentially lethal if he’d ingested them as we have no idea what they were for. We were under the impression that the house had been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived but it wasn’t. Other Negatives: - Property needed a serious deep clean as mentioned above. Mop had clusters of dog hair attached, and dog hair pretty much everywhere on the carpet and sofas. There was an unpleasant dog odour. Lots of spider webs in ceiling corners of the rooms. - Shower in en-suite first floor bedroom was very poor, water turned off and was either scolding or freezing with terrible water pressure. - Main bathroom shower rail is broken. - We hated the electric stovetop. Way too slow and can’t make certain dishes with it. - Bedding felt itchy, better quality bedsheets and comfier mattresses for single beds would’ve been great. Extra nice to have: - Extra toilet roll would’ve been helpful - TVs in bedrooms would’ve been nice

Lovely host and quick to help and advise.

Accessible location. Spacious accommodation with a fab sized kitchen / diner. Great games room and lovely cosy living room. Couple of cons: * Quite rough around the edges, especially with regards to walls and kitchen cupboards, counter tops etc * Could do with a deep clean, especially things like the high chair and cupboards * Unclear recycling instructions * Electricity sockets overloaded in lounge * Faulty hair dryer * Stairs could do with a handrail

Lovely property in a lovely area.

Enjoyed our. For a large group of people it's perfect.

Really great weekend.

Property was ideal for 4 families and it was a great walking area. Only shame was the weather

We loved our stay at the White Roses!

This is the second time we have been, and we plan to come again. We particularly love the garden - the "garden of Eden" we like to call it! The white roses has everything you would want and need. Thank you

Lovely, very spacious property.

Perfect for 15 ppl. The only let down is lack of pressure in the showers.

White Roses was a delight to stay in.

The location was fab, so much to do and also great eateries nearby. It is comfortable and warm, lovely for families and a big garden to play. The owners are very responsive to any problems. The only slight downside is the close proximity to A40, which can be a bit noisy. But otherwise super.

Amazing house and host was so helpful and lovely with recommendations.

Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Family break for us.

Very spacious property. No issues. Very happy. Had a great time. Would visit again. Situated in a very scenic area as well - with lots to do for all (we were aged from 1 - 85).

We had a wonderful stay at white roses.

In particular, we enjoyed the beautiful garden. The kitchen was nice and big and well equipped, and had a good dishwasher which is quite rare. Mariane is a lovely host. We would stay here again for sure. The only suggestion is to please not be so stingy with the toilet paper. Thank you

The property was pleasant and in a wonderful location.

The outside area could have done with a bit more care. Garden large and would have been more useful if the grass was less than a foot tall. The oven on the left never reached the right temperature so cooking a roast for 14 people was a bit of a gamble. Had to keek swapping food from one oven to the other. Luckily it all turned out fine with careful monitoring. There was a hole in the wall in one of the bedrooms where the curtain pole should have attached so we couldn’t draw the curtain. Review sounds terrible but with these problems fixed I would certainly recommend it. The bread was delicious. Thank you.

We had such a wonderful time at White Roses, we were 10 in total, 2 families, all adults.

There was plenty of space. The kitchen is large and seated us comfortably and is very well stocked with crockery, pans and utensils. 10 of us could sit in the sitting room for games and the additional conservatory sitting room provided break-away space. There are fabulous walks and a well stocked shop across the road. It’s really quiet despite being so close to A40. It suited the needs of our group perfectly and would definitely come back.

A group of 10 of us stayed here and absolutely loved the place.

Rooms were clean and spacious and the welcome hamper of local produce was a really lovely touch! Check-in and check-out out was really straightforward with the owner and she was really quick to respond to any questions in the run up to our arrival. The house is pretty much straight off the dual carriageway but we weren’t disturbed by traffic noise really, and the shop round the corner was really well-stocked with everything you could need during your stay. It was only a 20 minute walk to Symonds Yat and felt very central for walks, pubs, attractions and activities. Would definitely stay here again :-)

Lovely stay in a lovely property.

Clean throughout and plenty of space to relax either with or away from the rest of your party. Location is ideal for Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both lovely towns. We also visited the campsite, open to all, where the children enjoyed an afternoon at the amusement arcade. A lovely few days enjoyed by all young and old and a four legged friend.

Half term breaks are short and special.

White Roses gave us the wonderful space, comfort and of course location to enjoy a splendid few days. Little village shop round the corner also enabled us to pick up the few items we forgot! Oh and our doggie loved it too!

Booked for work colleagues, the house is clean, comfortable and very well equipped.
