Guests consistently praise Eightlands cottage for its cosy atmosphere, cleanliness, and the warm welcome provided by the hosts. The property's location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and scenic walks, particularly along the river Wye. The wood burner is a highlight, adding to the cottage's charm. While some guests mention minor maintenance issues and the compact nature of the cottage, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of reviews highlight the cottage's spotless condition and the cleanliness of the facilities. One review mentions mould, but this seems to be an isolated case not corroborated by other guests.

The cottage's location is frequently praised for its peaceful setting, proximity to a local pub, and easy access to Hereford and scenic walks. The location contributes positively to the guests' experiences.

Comfort is highly rated, with many guests finding the bed very comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the wood burner. However, some guests note the low doorways and steep spiral staircase as potential comfort issues.

Facilities are generally well-received, with the wood burner being a standout feature. However, there are several mentions of minor maintenance issues, such as cracked windows and tight shower space, which slightly lower the score.

Guests often mention the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as a warm welcome, gifts like wine and chocolates, and the provision of firewood. While these gifts are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

A lovely and refreshing cottage, situated within the village of Hampton Bishop near to the graceful town of Hereford. Attention to detail and traditional features bring character to this property, and the cosy atmosphere is perfect for couples to relax. Entering this space, you will be welcomed by an open plan dining and sitting area, accompanied by signature walls and a charming woodburning stove. Tucked into the corner, you will find a softly furnished kitchen, carrying an almost glistening effect, for a personal touch. Through a narrow and enchanting doorway, a shower room awaits, with a classical white finish and low ceilings. Moving up the spiralling staircase, there is a tasteful mezzanine area, showcasing a double bed, neutral colours and oak furniture. The wooden beams, stone effect and decoration intertwine a country feel to the property for a soothing overtone. Outside of the cottage, the theme is continued, with a black and white structure that echoes style from the offset. Wander out into the cosy village of Hampton Bishop, or travel to the town of Hereford which hosts many historic buildings and attractions. A precious cottage in a warming location.

The cathedral city of Hereford dates back to Saxon times, and with its medieval bridge over the winding River Wye it is the very image of picturesque England. With a mix of buildings from almost every British era, eclectic Hereford is an enticing base for those seeking to explore the locale – being ideally placed for accessing the Black and White villages of the region. Famous as a cider producing town, Hereford is also the home of the Mappa Mundi, the largest and most elaborate pre-15th century map in existence, which resides in the cathedral alongside the famous Chained Library.

    We did not complain to the owners because of the sheer number of issues we had. Where to start: mold is present on all the walls. Kitchen: dirty uncleaned oven,cutlery old and damaged, drawers with crumbs in and dirty drawer tops, microwave rusty and damaged, fridge door needs forcing to close. Waste bin in cupboard with pans, frying pan with grease in it,no storage for food items. Bathroom only accessible by stooping. Bathroom shower cubicle dirty and moldy. Place mats on table dirty and moldy. Window frames extremely dirty with cracked glass in some and not been cleaned for some time. A kind of home made secondary glazing that does not permit opening. Cobwebs everywhere. No washing machine, no hoover, the long brush provided was full of debris and cobwebs, no mop or bucket. Basically it is a one room property with a minstrel gallery with a kitchen and bathroom tagged on the rear wall. In fairness the property has an excellent wood burner with a plentiful supply of wood and a comfortable bed, the only seating apart from dining chairs is a very tired sofa.

    Nice walk to the pub. Need to be fit for the spiral stairs and short to use the bathroom ! Would recommend this place to stay. From Marcy.

  • Richard

    Very clean and well equipped. The garden area is nice and the bed very comfortable. However, this cottage is not built for a comfortable stay. The spiral staircase is very small and especially difficult if carrying something (loose rails suggest others have found it a tight squeeze too), the sofa is very uncomfortable and one has to stoop significantly through to the bathroom. I understand it is 17th century, I live in a 17th century property myself, but the listing is not clear about these things.
