Hill Farm Cottage

Lovely spacious cottage with great outdoor area for us and dog.

Such peaceful pretty countryside around. Cottage comfortable and relaxing. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

We had a great stay at Hill Farm Cottage.

The views are wonderful and the place was just right. The owner is very friendly and our toddler loved playing in the garden and jumped in puddles ! We would love to come back.

Fantastic care and conversation from owner, we will certainly book again to stay in this idyllic location.

Hill Far Cottage was the perfect location for relaxation and quiet.

The views from the house are just stunning. Completely secure for the dog who loved the outside area. We would love to come back soon!

Just returned from an amazing week away at Hill Farm.

The cottage is much bigger than we thought, so roomy, which was handy having a Great Dane with us! Lots to do in the area but it was also good having the farmers field (with permission) to walk the dog in too. The owner was friendly and on hand if you needed him. We really enjoyed our week away here, we came back very relaxed.

We have stayed at Hill Farm numerous times and always had t never fails to disappoint!

The views spectacular. The sheep quite entertaining , and the horses quite characters. All visitors to the farm so friendly too. Mr Mackie the owner always pops by to say hello when he can , a kind and thoughtful gentleman. Hill Farm has everything you could want , a home from home . Everything was as you would expect from this fabulous property! Our stay was two weeks this time and we have already booked for the next two years! More family memories made , thank you Mr Mackie .

We had a wonderful stay at hill farm cottage, it was beautiful, spacious and clean.

Mr Mackie was very lovely and gave us lots of ideas for things to do. The children were able to meet the horses on the farm and we were able to use the field behind the cottage to exercise our Collie when it suited. We had an issue with water pressure when we arrived Mr Mackie was at the door within 10 minutes to help us out. My 7 year old cried when it was time to leave he loved it so much. We will 100% be back next summer. We needed a break from the crazy hustle and bustle or city life and thats exactly what we got. Its quiet, cozy and just perfect!

The property was filthy.

The bed covers were dirty and stained, I had to hand wash the entire floor as my kids feet were black from running around barefoot, the crockery in the cupboards was dirty, under the beds and behind furniture clearly hadn’t been cleaned in years judging by the amount of dust and cobwebs there. I spent my first evening there cleaning everything, had to go out the next day and buy hand soap as they had only left a small amount in the bathroom and buy towels that weren’t stained. There are no dishwasher tablets given to you and only a small amount of washing up liquid. Finally, the kitchen tap drips constantly. Don’t stay here unless you come prepared to clean.

Fantastic location and a comfy, clean home from home.

Mr Mackie was on hand and when we hit a small problem (fridge not working properly), he was able to help us out. The only thing that would make it perfect would be if the outside had a bit of tender loving care, the external windows haven't been cleaned for a while and perhaps at least 1 pint of milk on arrival, so you can make a hot drink on arrival (my husband works for Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire and they provide a welcome pack, which goes down really well with customers).

Very nice owner Ian beautiful setting peaceful an relaxing

Very nice well-equipped cottage in a quiet location with lovely views.

Convenient for visiting various places of interest. We had a brilliant week at the Hay Festival. Would recommend this property.

A spacious well equipped barn conversion in a quiet location.

The garden at the back is a sun trap and perfect for relaxing and listening to the birds singing! The perfect spot to relax and unwind....

We had a fabulous stay at the the hill farm we met Ian the cottage owner who told us we could use the field for our dog which was a real bonus The cottage had all the facilities you needed to make your perfect However there where areas that the cleaning company let the owner down if you require more feed back on this issue please contact me Apart from this we had a great time using the cottage as a base to explore the surrounding area

Fabulous holiday and Hill Farm Cottage was a delightful place to stay!

Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable fantastic views owners were very helpful pleanty of places to visit would definitely recommend this property

Hi we loved the barn it was the first time we have been away and everything we needed was there we had a fabulous week.

The view of the sheep and the rising sun are very memorable. We will be back in the summer.

Had a really nice time at Hill Farm.

Everything was as expected. It was a perfect base for our break. Clean, tidy and warm in a lovely location and with all the facilities we required (only one small negative - couldn't get the dryer to work which wasn’t a big issue at all). Worth noting that in the wet weather we had, some of the local lanes were prone to temporary flooding, so bring the Landrover if you have one!

Beautiful house has everything you need for your stay, the bookshelf with the books and games was a nice touch, couldn't figure the tumble dryer not sure if it didn't work or if it was us.

Beautiful location very spacious just what we needed for a quiet retreat. And our dog loved it area as did we. We would definitely book this house again and have recommended this to friends too.

It's a lovely, spacious and clean property, in a beautiful, quiet location.

We would definitely stay again.

Lovely location in middle of countryside-single track roads on approach, very peaceful with fantastic views.

Parking right outside for multiple cars. Bright and airy lounge and main bedroom, dark but well stocked kitchen. Photos were accurate. Bathroom a little dated. Pubs and fish and chip shop-10 min drive away. The price paid was good value for money for school holidays, We had a lovely holiday

Gorgeous home, clean comfortable and peaceful.

Ian is a lovely farmer who stopped for a chat to ensure we had all we needed. Only suggestion I would have is for a set of plastic cups for children. Unfortunately one if our grandchildren dropped a glass. Ian was understanding and said not to worry accidents happen. Would highly recommend.

Lovely stay, everything you need is there, Washing machine was a bonus when you go with little one Bit of the beaten track but can drive to some Lovely villages Very relaxing stay

Lovely relaxing holiday the cottage is spacious and comfortable set in lovely countryside will be booking for next year

This property is amazing.

...such a beautiful house. The secure garden for our dog was excellent. This property is secluded and the area is so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back here again

Extremely well fitted and comfortable.

Ian is a lovely man and very helpful. Would benefit from internet access - there is Skye internet, but it is password protected.

Had a wonderful holiday at Hill Farm Cottage.

It has a large tiled hall with plenty of room for boots/ shoes and hooks for coats and dog leads which I don’t think was in the photos. Very comfortable and well equipped place. Dog friendly and had an enclosed garden and patio (but maybe teeny paws could squeeze out) with garden furniture and a BBQ -although we had taken our own and good weather allowed us to use it daily! Great to be able to do some washing and peg out on the line.Mr Mackie is a lovely gentleman and allowed us to let the dog run free in one of the gorgeous surrounding meadows. Great location for exploring with lots of dog friendly places around.We definitely recommend this place and would love to return .

This was our 4th spring stay at Hill Farm Cottage, and as ever it lives up to expectations.

Lovely clean house in a beautiful location!

!! The owner was also very friendly!!

We had a lovely stay at Hill Farm.

The property was clean, well presented and in an idyllic setting. Sadly the weather wasn’t the best (although it could have been worse) and was sad to see the farm and surrounding area saturated after the excess rainfall we have all been experiencing. The cottage is set in a quiet area close to the main farm house. There was no sign of active farming activity so can only presume that the farm operations are somewhere else. We certainly weren’t disturbed at any point during our stay and would consider staying again, if we were in the area again

We had a wonderful stay at Hill Cottage, it was comfortable roomy and easy to manage everything.

Super views and walks. Thanks Ian and team.

This was a return visit and again we appreciated the peacefulness of the surroundings, the views, location and the high standards of the property.

The property was perfect for our needs and in a great location.

Plenty to do in the local area and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We have booked again for next year!

Many thanks Ian for allowing us to share your cottage and beautiful surroundings.

For us it is idyllic with absolute peace & quiet with nothing but the Hereford countryside in every direction with walks from the door step. This cottage & environment is perfect for recharging ones batteries while enjoying the English countryside.

We enjoyed a short stay over New Year at Hill Farm Cottage, and despite the awful weather we had a lovely time.

A very spacious, warm and comfortable accommodation with everything you could possibly need, set against a beautiful background of spectacular countryside and views. The Christmas trees and lights were a lovely touch. Lots of walks nearby and easy access to the Brecon Beacons. Highly recommend, and our springer Archibald loved it too!

Arrived on the Friday with my young daughter and our dog ( staying 7 nights) meant to arrive fully decorated for Christmas and it wasn’t.

No fire starter for the fire just lumps of wood. Ended up going 3 days with NO hot water or heating, (In this weather) contacted the owner with NO response ended up leaving the property 4 days earlier as was not impressed with our stay asked for a refund and owner refused

We had a lovely week at Hill Farm.

The accommodation was large, warm comfortable and well equipped. Everything one needs to enjoy life! It is located in a wonderful setting, beautiful countryside with many places to explore. Ian was kind and helpful. We give it 10 out of 10! Brian, Edith, and Chelsea-the-dog

A splendid holiday cottage, spacious, comfortable, well furnished and equipped with all required facilities.

Although situated on a working farm it was quiet and peaceful and ideally situated to explore the Golden Valley and surrounding areas, with lots of footpaths and superb walks from the cottage or within a short drive. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday.

Lovely peaceful location.

Accommodation spacious and comfortable. Just what we needed!

Lovely property with lots of out door space with lovely views, everything you would need was provided.

The owner was very friendly and welcoming, very quiet and peacefull place.

Beautiful property everything we needed for a comfortable stay in an idyllic setting.

Our third visit and very enjoyable it was.

The cottage is well appointed and clean with everything you could need to cook dinner on days when it’s too much trouble to drive to a pub! Ian was very welcoming and helpful, letting us walk our dog around his fields before we settled down to watch the Coronation. We certainly hope to return.

Booked a family break with our doggy at Hill Farm Cottage, it's a lovely and peaceful rural cottage, we had a lovely time, which was made all the better by Ian who is gentleman.

He accommodated our doggy who also had a brilliant break. Within about 15 minutes you have a good local shop, would recommend with ease and will be looking again, thanks for a great stay Ian.

Lovely cottage set in beautiful peaceful surroundings, warm and comfortable we felt very much at home.

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed at, and we liked it that much we’ve already booked again for later in the year.

Fantastic property, very spacious and excellent facilities - large fridge and freezer, full size oven and hob, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher.

and plenty of washing powder, dishwasher tablets provided.Lovely spacious entrance hall, bathroom well equipped with a lovely power shower. Large main bedroom , well equipped and good sized lounge / diner. For pet owners, the outside is well fenced so that they are well protected. Unfortunately we did not have great weather conditions, but if you have good weather, there is a good range of outdoor facilities with lovely views. Very highly recommended property.

Really enjoyed our stay at Hill Farm Cottage, one of the best cottages we have stayed in with Sykes.

The owner Ian is a really lovely person and extremely helpful Thank you

The holiday and accommodation were fantastic.

It was exactly as described the property and location. Very rural and peaceful and still close enough to visit Hay on Wye, Hereford and Forest of Dean. The ambience of the property and setting ensured all the family including the dog had a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

We stayed for 4 days over Christmas at this wonderful property.

On arrival, we were very impressed with the special touches , the house was decorated for Christmas and a welcome pack in the kitchen, which was much appreciated. The accommodation was immaculate and spacious, and very well equipped. The owner lan was a lovely gentleman, very friendly and kind. We loved the rural location, with far reaching views , and we would love to return.

Great place, Very quiet at the time of year of our stay November, The place was warm and clean.

We got the keys from the key safe on the wall, didn't see anybody just moved straight in. I bet this place would be a great in the summer with the patio and BBQ, you would have a view right over the fields. you have no chance of your dog getting out the garden its well fenced in. It has a nice amount of grass for your dog to go to the toilet. A days worth of logs for the log burner and every thing to light it , Great. We did bump into the farmer one day, Nice bloke. Thanks for the stay :^)

Another fabulous stay, shame the same couldn't be said for the weather but this didn't stop us enjoying our time at Hill Cottage.

Everything was as expected. Only one observation and that is l think it is time for a new mattress in the main bedroom, if not at least a mattress topper to make it a little more comfortable. The springs are starting to be felt! Lovely place and highly recommend. Look forward to another return trip in the not too distant future

A perfect holiday destination.

A quiet farm cottage located on a working farm in the quiet hills and valleys of Herefordshire with some pretty good views. The cottage was immaculate on arrival and was very well equipped and comfortable. Ian the host and his family were most helpful and even moved their two rams from the orchard so that our Labrador could have more space to run around in. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage if you like out of the way and quiet places to stay.

Delightful property in a beautiful and quiet location.

Ideal holiday place if you are wanting to get away and relax from the stresses of everyday living. The cottage had everything we needed and was of a very high standard in both cleanliness and comfort. Already looking to book for next year.

A fabulous cottage in a very tranquil location.

It was very comfortable and an extremely well equipped property. We appreciated the nice secure garden for the dog and we enjoyed watching the sheep grazing.

The property had everything we needed and was well equipped.

It's on a working farm but was very peaceful. We had a lovey break and would definitely stay again. Thank you

Really enjoyed our 7 night stay at Hill Farm Cottage, the location was great for us, private and secluded yet a short drive from some great walking locations such as Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny & the Brecon Beacons and Ross-on-Wye & the Wye Valley.

The property itself had everything we could possibly need including a secure yard for our dog to roam freely. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. Ian the owner greeted us on arrival and recommended some great walking locations which we followed up on, although a working farm we were never disturbed at any time night or day, although we spent a lot of time away exploring. We would gladly stay here again if the chance arose

We have just returned home from an idilic week at Hill Farm Cottage.

We were blessed with beautiful weather. The cottage is spacious and very comfortable, with everything there you need. The location, surrounded by beautiful countryside, is perfect for a rural get away, you definitely need a car though, unless you intend staying at the farm all day. The owner Ian, was very helpful and friendly, not intrusive, and despite the cottage being positioned near the working part of the farm it was very quiet. The Golden Valley didn't disappoint, and with Hereford, Abergavenny and Hay on Wye nearby, lots to see and do. Planning a return visit for sure, highly recommend

We have had a delightful week in this generously equipped and spacious cottage.

The setting is idyllic with lovely views of pastoral countryside with good looking sheep. Ian, the owner and his family are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We are planning our next visit already.

Well furnished and maintained property in a quiet location.

We enjoyed the week

Lovely spacious, light bungalow in beautiful surroundings.

Well supplied with everything you could possibly want.

Hill Farm Cottage is one of the best holiday cottages we have had.

It had everything we needed for a great holiday. The cottage itself is very stylish but comfortable and practical. It was spotlessly clean and an extra clean was offered at the end of our first week if we had wanted it. The views were fantastic and it was so peaceful. It was lovely to have sheep in the field next door. Lots of walking to be had and some great places to visit.

We had a lovely stay and were made to feel very welcome.

The cottage is in a lovely location, lovely views, quiet and well presented. Had the weather been a bit better we would have more use of enjoying the sunshine on the patio in the afternoons when we got back from a day out. The location was ideal for all the places that we had planned to visit. Will definitely book here again.

Very helpful and knowledgeable owner with regard to local amenities and emergency services.

Even though adjacent to a working farm the owner ensured that no intrusive noise occurs. Also helpful advice from the owner with regard to places to visit and areas of natural beauty for walks.

Great get away, brilliant views, bright night skys and welcoming owner.

Postcode straight to location. spacious barn conversion on one level, large bath and powerful shower, comfortable, warm and toasty, well stocked kitchen equipment, basic sky TV, but we took our own amazon fire stick, mobile phone and wi fi was good, no bufferting. Local trips out in every direction to Hereford, Hay on wye , Abergavenny. We went end of March amazing daffodils everywhere were beautiful. We took my mum who is 77 years young, would have liked a bath bar/handle and a step on the back doorway. Lots of public footpaths but all have very tall stiles, so we stuck to the single track road to walk the dogs.

Great location to explore Herefordshire.

Owners super friendly. Property very clean and well equipped. Good enclosed outside area especially if you take a dog. Will be back. Only gripe was why was there only a left handed glove for the wood burner

Fantastic stay .

Cottage is very roomy with all mod cons. Views are amazing and the owners are very helpful .

We LOVE being here.

This was our third visit and we spent TWO weeks there - and look forward to the next time.

Peaceful, relaxing week at Hill farm cottage.

Beautiful countryside and local walks. Our hosts made us very welcome and were friendly very and happy to share their knowledge of farm life. We especially enjoyed watching the sheep shearing on the farm. The cottage is very clean and spacious with views across the open countryside. We plan to return to enjoy some more of the beauty of Herefordshire.

Greeted on arrival by Ian, the owner,and made to feel at home immediately.

Cottage was really comfortable, clean and well furnished. Lovely views to the rear of the cottage and lots of space on three sides, particularly welcome for a lively dog. Ian also allowed us use of the orchard to the side of the cottage to allow our dog to run free without a lead. Lots of local walks and accessible villages within a short drive. Would recommend and would certainly visit agai

Beautiful countryside which made for a very peaceful stay.

Not far from places to visit. The barn was lovely, clean cosy with everything we needed if not more. Enjoyed seeing the animals around. Lovely owner and housekeeper. Love to visit again, so definitely recommend, thank you.

Lovely cottage, clean and modern inside, thoughtful decor and beautiful views.

Friendly and helpful hosts made us feel at home.

The website really didnt do this place justice, we had such a lovely stay.

So peaceful, i thought it would be noisy being on a farm but it wasnt at all. We loved watching the animals and learning about the farm, Ian was so friendly and helpful, a lovely chap. The house had everything we needed, nothing missing at all. We would love to return for lambing time !

Absolutely wonderful place so quiet and peaceful no traffic noise .

Beautiful scenery wonderful views over the field's and surrounding hills .The cottage has everything you need and the owners are so helpful and kind .We loved our week away at Hill Farm and would highly recommend. Missing it already

We have had the most relaxing experience at this beautiful cottage which is in the most tranquil of locations.

The landlord and his family were most welcoming and hospitable and really bent over backwards to make us feel at home and welcomed. We only wish we had booked to stay for 2 weeks not just one.This is a very special location with some excellent walking in a bucolic landscape...Britain at its best.....and I do hope we will return before too long.

Lovely cottage.

Even though it's on a working farm you hardly notice. Owner was very welcoming. The cottage is very spacious and well equipped, An ideal location for exploring the wider area. Definitely will be coming back.

Excellent host, friendly and very accommodating.

Great location for exploring the Forest of Dean and the Brecons. If you are after a peaceful and relaxing holiday this is your ideal place to stay.

Excellent location set in the countryside, amazing views.

Local village has a great pub which serves lovely food and also a chip shop. Owner very friendly and helpful. Accommodation is great with everything you need. We would come back

The cottage was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped.

We were greeted on our arrival by the Cottage Manager, and later the owner also welcomed us and explained the workings of Hill Farm. It was wonderful to be able to watch the livestock in the adjacent fields and the daily activities of the farm. The location was so peaceful and quiet. It was a good base from which to explore the surrounding towns and villages and we look forward to visiting again in the future to explore the area further when the world has returned to normal. It was our first holiday since the start of Covid and it was great to be in different surroundings. We returned home relaxed, refreshed and ready to take on the world!

We had a wonderful holiday.

The cottage was very comfortable and spacious, light, bright and warm. The owner had thought of everything we might need and was very helpful and friendly. The views from our sitting room and all around us were spectacular. A very quiet spot with plenty of birdlife to view: reds kites, yellow hammers and many others.

It was lovely!

The host was really friendly and we hope to return!

Firstly the pictures of Hill farm cottage on the website are outdated therefore does not do the property full justice so please bear that in mind .

We had a warm welcome from the charming owners on arrival who showed us around the property .Hill Farm was clean, very well equipped , and extremely comfortable. We had views of the fields and the livestock through large patio doors in the lounge, which has retained some original beams but with a contemporary twist.It has a Large kitchen with lots of appliances, overlooking a well maintained patio with seating, and the whole property has a light spacious feel. Its about 3 miles off the main road into Hereford, so there is peace and quiet in abundance. Would certainly stay again .

After being Locked down this summer and unable to go to Spain this holiday was very important to us.

On arrival we were given a warm welcome by Mrs Mackie and the cottage was even better than we expected. The photographs don't do it justice. We appreciated the Sheep and the two Horses in the surrounding fields.It was a very peaceful spot . We were able to visit Hay on Wye , Abergavenny , Hereford which was a real delight and Llanthony Abbey with which we have connections. We were very fortunate with the weather and were able to sit outside the cottage at times and just enjoy the view. We were also able to do some walking . We were grateful for your website giving us the information about the Hunter's Moon Inn where we had a splendid Sunday Lunch sitting out in the Pub Garden, This week's break was just what we needed and will be recommending this cottage to our family . Many Thanks

Cottage very comfortable & well equipped particularly impressed with very sharp kitchen knives, usually take my own as invariably they are pretty blunt in most rented properties.

Owner very helpful always around if any problems.

Really lovely spacious cottage in a beautiful location.

The kids enjoyed watching the comings and goings of the sheep and horses and we enjoyed the view and comfortable beds and sofas. The kitchen was really well kitted out and having a washing machine and tumble drier on hand was useful given the weather!

Cottage was perfect, just as described.

More spacious than photos tend to show. Clean and comfortable. Quiet and peaceful. Farmers are friendly, as are dogs and cats! Lovely big sitting out private area, watching the sheep and cows in adjacent field with distant views of Garway Hill. One minor suggestion would be for a larger fridge, but not a real problem.

The owners were lovely, couldn't have asked for more, wish I was still isolated there in this time of lockdown and covid-19

The warm welcome from the owners and the local information they gave us

A great property, very comfortable with a large patio at the rear (lovely place for your morning coffee).

We enjoyed and relaxing time (including out 14yr old dog). Only drawback is the garden isn’t enclosed, and if you had a more adventurous dog they would be able to get out at the front. We didn’t have a problem as our dog just chills out with us. On the whole I would thoroughly recommend this cottage for getting away from it all and relaxing in the countryside. It’s not too far too some lovely pubs, we sampled an excellent Sunday roast in Ewyas Harold which is about 10 minutes drive. The owner is also very pleasant and had left bread, milk and cakes for our arrival. All in all a superb weekend break.

Plenty of space, easy parking, nice and quiet and very warm.

Lovely to sit in the evening and see all the nesting birds flying past the barn.

Beautiful location on a working farm.

Friendly owner who left us cake on our arrival. Ideal accommodation with comfy beds. Only suitable for 4 adults now as no longer has a bed settee in the lounge, this was the only negative point. Thank you

Wonderful cottage, very warm and cosy, well equipped, beautiful views.

More than enough space for four. Welcoming owners, friendly animal hosts! Like a home from home for us. Near to some excellent local places to eat, some really good local food makers and markets, and very near several local cider producers, and in the middle of some of the best countryside Definitely recommended

Hill farm cottage was idyllic and set perfectly in the countryside.

No noise or light light pollution added to our experience. A small drive away from numerous towns also added to this being the ideal base. If you're looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy the views of the gorgeous English countryside, Hill Farm Cottage is an excellent choice!

Lovely peaceful location.

Everything we expected and more. Very helpful and friendly owners. Would definitely like to return sometime in the future.

This cottage was very spacious and extremely well equipped with a very nice welcome from the owner.

The only downside was that this area is not walker friendly with footpaths difficult to access,poorly marked, if at all, overgrown or through livestock.

There were gorgeous views, and it was very quiet and tranquil!

The description needs updating as there is no longer a bed settee and the sofas have been updated, otherwise everything was as expected and we enjoyed our stay!

We have just come back from a weeks holiday and had a lovely time the cottage has everything you need to enjoy yourselves.

The owner was very helpful if we needed anything. Very relaxing holiday.

Very restful and relaxing.

Beautiful setting

Wonderful place, very friendly people, made to feel at home.

Would recommend to anyone.

The only problem we had was the photograph of the cottage did not portray the actual location correctly.

..ie we booked thinking that the cottage grounds would be secure for our small dog to be let outside , but the cottage was in a farm yard environment and there was nowhere to walk with our dog, the fencing shown in the photo was not part of the cottage grounds but taken from within part of the farm which was out of bounds to to anyone renting the cottage . There was nowhere at all to walk from the farm so it was fortunate that we had our car.

Lovely spacious cottage with open beams in the main living room.

Wonderful views out of almost every window. Peaceful and quiet. A perfect place to get away from it all. We loved it

The best ever place we have stayed at, would recommend to every one.

We loved Hill Farm Cottage.

Excellent location with far reaching views and ideally placed for walking, great for the Black mountains and book shop rummaging in Hay on Wye. The cottage was really warm, comfortable, much bigger than expected and well equipped. The owners were amazing and let our 2 boys feed the lambs and sheep every day. They absolutely loved going out in their pajamas to bottle feed the 2 new lambs and collect an egg! We loved it so much we stayed an extra day and we will definitely go back again.

The upside ; lovely hot water and lots of it, central heating very efficient, with glorious views all round, comfy beds with good bedding.

Downside ; the whole cottage needed a thorough clean. To begin with, the entrance needed a good brush to get rid of leaves and cobwebs which were all over the door frame and the tiles, this was a shame as a pleasant entrance would have made quite a difference. When we arrived we had to vacuum the lounge carpet as it obviously had not been cleaned from the last visitors. Then brushing down the walls to get rid of masses of cobwebs, these were also on the curtains, curtain poles and every nook and cranny. The cobwebs on the beams were amazing and we managed to remove quite a few. The hearth was then swept and the glass on the log burner cleaned so we could see the fire ! On looking behind the books on the window sills, we found thick cobwebs, dead flies and numerous spider corpses. The fabric covered settee was dirty and on lifting the seat cushions found food bits, dog hairs and sweet papers. We then cleaned the glass of the patio doors as they were covered in dog slobber, as was the glass on the back door. Now we get to the kitchen ! One revolting oven and baking pans that were disgusting and should have been thrown out months ago. The crockery was a mishmash of sorts and much of it was chipped. The glasses were pristine. The bathroom was fine, except for the shower hose which again was revolting.....black mould ? it was quite off putting. I have taken photographs of all the things mentioned and can send if you desire. It was such a shame about the lack of cleanliness, I know it is out in the country and they accept dogs , but that amount of cobwebs dead flies, spiders and dog hairs was not acceptable. It did not spoil our holiday , but it would have been absolutely A1 had these things been addressed in the first place. We were, to say the least , disappointed. Barbara Turner

Light and Audrey.

The sheep and chickens were a bonus. Would definitely book again.

A warm welcome to a delightful property.

The property was very clean and spacious and the provision of a few essentials gratefully received.

The owners were so friendly and helpful.

The accommodation was amazing would recommend to anyone

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

we had a great welcome and we found tea coffee milk fresh cake and rolls just what we needed after a long drive country side and great weather made it a great base to explore England and Wales

Good accommodation, location good for walking, pleasant hosts
