“When we arrived, albeit not allowed in until 6pm because of Covid.”

Yet there was left over washing up liquid and hand soap. The clock in the lounge wasn't working, and several light bulbs had blown. There was no kindling or logs for the wood burner, though they had been promised. ...

Yet there was left over washing up liquid and hand soap. The clock in the lounge wasn't working, and several light bulbs had blown. There was no kindling or logs for the wood burner, though they had been promised. The Belling range in the kitchen was beautiful, but the instructions were not. Eventually I telephoned Christine and was given short shrift. She told me "couldn't I use my wristwatch to tell the time and didn't give me any help regarding light bulbs, batteries or wood". However she must have thought about how she had NOT helped me and later I got a text message telling me where I could find batteries and light bulbs, and she was sure I would cope with the range". The steps up to the main bedroom were decidedly dodgy, though how you would rectify them I don't know. They were not mentioned in the description of the Lodge. My husband is disabled and the steps did present a problem for him. The twin room was needed for the rest of our party. We loved the location of the cottage. It was peaceful and really pretty.

Mr Griffiths September 2020

“The cottage was well equipped (kitchen equipment especially)very comfortably furnished with everything carefully chosen to suit the style of the building.”

Very well thought out .Garden very well maintained but worth Sykes pointing out that although enclosed, the garden is not secure for pets. We could not find the TV remote, necessary to set up viewing DVDs. Neither the cleaner nor the owner could understand why it was missing. This is not something which could easily be replaced, we understand. It might be a good idea to offer non-feather pillows as well for those with allergies. Sykes also needs to update info; when we needed help in locating the TV remote we rang a cleaner who messaged back that he hadn't worked on Lower Moor Lodge for 2 years, so we had to contact the owner. In all, a very pleasant stay despite the hiccups.

Mr Nesbit September 2020

“The cottage was clean and welcoming.”

The bed was really comfortable. The small garden was a real bonus when we had some sunny weather. It only took about 10 minutes to walk into Hay-on-Wye which is also an added bonus. There is a Co-Op just down the road for those little things that you need. There is a small industrial area close to the cottage but it didn’t disrupt our break here.

Thank you for taking time to leave your comments on Lower Moor Lodge. It is great to hear the weather was sunny and you were able to enjoy the garden! Owner relations

“The cottage is really lovely and has everything you might need.”

The panoramic countryside views are stunning and it was great to have a footpath directly outside to head into the countryside with our dog.

- Ms Mcmahon, August 2020

We are pleased to hear that you were able to take advantage of the local footpath and explore the countryside with your dog. Owner relations

“It's a great location on the edge of Hay.”

The cottage is quirky and enjoyable for that reason.

“It was warm and cosy, it had a really nice, relaxed, happy feeling about it.”

It was also perfectly positioned for hay-on-wye but gave us the countryside views at the same time.

“We have stayed at Lower Moor Lodge on numerous occasions.”

It is a lovely, characterful cottage within ten minutes' walking distance of the centre of Hay on Wye and its bookshops, pubs, restaurants and other shops. The area around Hay is stunningly beautiful, and there is excellent walking available. The town's (and local area's) largest supermarket (Co-op) is a couple of minutes' walk away on the other side of the road. When we had our dog, the cottage and enclosed garden were perfect for him. . \ \

“â€œThe Lodge was an absolutely stunning house set in a beautiful location!”

The house itself is immaculately presented and it's location is perfect (just 5 minutes from Hay on Wye, with access to gorgeous countryside walks and attractions). We had a lovely peaceful stay and we would definitely revisit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!â€ \ Charlotte, Oct 2016

“Loved Hay on Wye, and the cottage had been so sympathetically refurbished that it had kept all of its original features but with the addition of 21st Century comfort.”
