Judith 
“Location is perfect - and footpath starting from across the road meant popping out with the dog for 5 minutes in the hot weather was a joy.”
Cottage is characterful - a freshen-up wouldn't go amiss, and I missed the fact there is no wifi - fortunately there was enough mobile signal. Took a while to find the shower switch (above the door) which would been good in the instructions. Outside table is in non-secure area (saw they have acted on a previous comment about a fence to enclose main garden which is wonderful and a first!) - it would be better to have the table on the grass in the main garden. It's a lovely size for one or two ...
Cottage is characterful - a freshen-up wouldn't go amiss, and I missed the fact there is no wifi - fortunately there was enough mobile signal. Took a while to find the shower switch (above the door) which would been good in the instructions. Outside table is in non-secure area (saw they have acted on a previous comment about a fence to enclose main garden which is wonderful and a first!) - it would be better to have the table on the grass in the main garden. It's a lovely size for one or two people, and it's in a very peaceful location but not too far from Tenbury Wells or Leominster. As usual there is no mention of no dogs upstairs on the website only notices everywhere when you arrive (I wouldn't have booked it - spaniel with separation anxiety though we travel with huge throws for any furniture).
Thank you Judith we have taken all your comments on board and glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
