Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently commend the property for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition. One review mentioned a slight drop in standards, but this seems to be an isolated incident rather than a trend.
The location is described as picturesque and tranquil, ideal for a rural getaway. Some guests experienced difficulty finding the property and suggested better signage, but the setting is generally appreciated for its proximity to local attractions.
The majority of guests find the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy. A few guests noted issues with chair support and the arrangement of interconnecting bedrooms, but overall, the property is regarded as very comfortable.
The property is well-equipped with amenities and extras like games and a log burner. Some guests mentioned minor issues such as Wi-Fi signal strength and hot water availability, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with the hosts and the property's amenities, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Travelling from the Hereford direction, the hotel on the right is the Longville Hotel NOT the Lemore Manor Hotel. The barn was very comfortable, the location was great, and if we had stayed for longer we would have been able to find more destinations to walk our Springer Spaniel. I was able to cook some delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen. The interconnecting bedrooms were not an issue.

Of the three bedrooms one acts as a through-route to another (the third and largest is completely separate) but that is not a problem with children. Eardisley is a very short drive away, but is not easily (or safely) accessed on foot. Nonetheless, this a delightful location for a rural getaway and we would certainly like to return. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay and it was perfect for us. The description doesn't make it clear that one of the double bedrooms is accessed via the twin - this would suit most families I think and there's loads of space but good to know. Also would help if the cottages were added to Google maps for Sat Nav - Little Quebb Kitchen gets you near enough (the name of the hotel has changed in the directions). Highly recommend.
