"We have stayed in nearly 20 cottages in the UK from Northumberland to Dorset. Without doubt the one in the most attractive & enjoyable setting is S41686 in Worcestershire near Tenbury Wells.S41686 is a three-bedroomed cottage surrounded by 7 acres of grounds. Occupants have free access to all that space including play areas, woodland, pond, tree house, a "bothy" (farm labourer's hut)  and hammocks. There are four or five outdoor seating areas and a barbecue.  There is a quirky, highly personal feel to the surroundings reflecting the labour of love that the property obviously is.Indoors, on the ground floor, the cottage features a well-equipped kitchen (including an Aga), six- seater dining area, a very comfortable living room and a comfortable double bedroom. There is a bathroom including a bath and separate shower. Upstairs there is a double bedroom, twin room and (tiny) toilet. Each room  continues the individualistic theme of the entire site.S41686 cottage housed 5 people (and a terrier!) very comfortably and warmly. We were welcomed  personally by the owner Eleanor with a smile and a welcome hamper including a delicious home-made cake.But the real emphasis-and the reason I would  unhesitatingly recommend S41686, is the beautiful surroundings  . Long Cottage is almost half a mile off any road. It is very isolated and commands a panoramic view of the beautiful local countryside. If you want hustle & bustle I suggest you look elsewhere! You are however within twenty-odd miles of Hereford, Worcester, Hay-on-Wye, Leominster and Ludlow. Tenbury Wells and Eastnor Castle are much nearer. Our party included two teenagers and within 15 miles drive we were able to take them to West Midlands Safari Park and the Time Machine Museum in nearby Bromyard. The ground floor bedroom was ideal for the 87 year old in the party.We were not blessed with good weather or we would have undoubtedly spent more time in the grounds. To prove how much we liked the place, we have already booked a return visit- less that a week after leaving! Do yourselves a favour- visit  S41686 before it gets too famous. You won't regret it!"

"S80330 amply fulfilled our expectations. Everything was as described, or better. Privacy combined with convenience to make sitting out a real pleasure, and the views over the garden and to the Severn Plain were magnificent. The flat was very well equipped: we also particularly liked the fact that non-essential items, like antique/retro clocks and radio, actually worked and were not mere ornaments. This feature suggested steady attention to detail, and to the creation of atmosphere. Speaking of which, the flat had a charm and a character difficult to capture in photos. The flow and layout of the rooms felt good, and there was space on every hand, with plenty of light and visibility where needed.We valued the fact that the town centre was an easy walk away, for us anyway. The general sense of relaxation was underpinned by the phone conversation we had with the owner a week before visiting. We found this reassuring, with an invitation to ring at any time of day or night if we needed to. We would have welcomed some written guidance to help us recycle materials, and we also found the outside bins full: perhaps we missed something. No other reservations at all.Definitely a 'Buy'."

"Two main aspects : 1) The owners are very friendly and helpful. 2) The cottage is not suitable for elderly people, and this should be clearly stated in your description , e.g. the stairs are not just steep, but extremely steep. The access from the recommended parking is over grotesquely uneven cobbled area, slippery if wet. At the moment the area around the cottage is a building site, as a barn con version is going on immediately adjacent to the cottage. That mean that instead of rural tranquillity the visitors have the noise of heavy machinery all working day long. Why did you not tell us about this ?"

"This was a beautiful house with all the usual quality that you expect from RR. However, I think there were a couple of things that could have been clearer in the property description: the gardens/grounds are shared with the owners who are right next door and they have children who play ball games and run around. We had no problem with this but some people might have wanted something more peaceful. Secondly, the upstairs toilet is really tiny and a man can't really use it without contorting himself. Even I had to 'fold myself' into it! The bedrooms upstairs have very sloping ceilings, making them also quite uncomfortable for tall people. We were only four people from the same family but I think six would have been a bit cramped given the bathroom facilities. The owner was very friendly and greeted us with cake. The terrace is great for barbecues and the views are truly spectacular though so we had a good time."

"S16340 needs a lot of money spent on it we arrived on the 7/9/18 and left on the 8//9/18 and came home it was supposed to be dog friendly but if you are worried about your dog and live stock then don't go there S16340 was surrounded by horses which is not mentioned in the advert for S16340 the enclosed garden was not totally enclosed dogs can get into fields with livestock or round to the owners house. so the only secure area is a small decking area outside S16340. S16340 itself is in need on updating or the furniture changed the bed knob has been glued so many times it would not stick so fell off all the time. the coffee table leg broken. the wardrobe was so rickety we didn't put anything in it the kettle would not work also the sky tv worked when it wanted to. and you have to swap cooker hob knobs for the ring to work. but the owner states it all works fine"
