Guests say
Cromwell House is a well-equipped, spacious cottage praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and friendly host, Ben. Its location is appreciated for easy access to Hay-on-Wye and local walks, making it ideal for both families and dog owners. The property's peaceful setting and wildlife are highlights, though some guests noted minor maintenance issues.
The property is generally regarded as clean, especially in critical areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. However, some guests mentioned cobwebs and dust, suggesting room for improvement in deep cleaning.
The location is highly valued for its tranquility, proximity to the river, and ease of access to local attractions and towns. The peaceful setting and nearby walks are particularly appreciated.
The property is considered comfortable and well-appointed, though some guests found the sofas and a mattress less supportive than desired, indicating a need for updates to enhance comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good internet connection. However, maintenance issues like non-working clocks, garden upkeep, and a problematic bedroom door were noted.
While the host's friendliness and the provision of Netflix are positive aspects, there is insufficient information regarding thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs, as only one mention was made without confirmation of consistency.

A wonderful and spacious property situated amongst many great walks. The personal greeting from the host was fantastic and the property is much larger than appears. Suitable equipment provided and thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay,

Met by really friendly host who explained everything. The house was great for our dog with a useful stairgate to stop her going upstairs (would be good for young children too!). She did, as usual, find a tiny gap in the fence (invisible to the naked eye!) we blocked with some garden furniture.A nice pub nearby that offers food. A 24hour milk etc essentials vending machine by the pub if needed. Lovely walk from the house which is good for dogs. Easy access to Hay-on-Wye where we were visiting family. Also some castles etc nearby for those with National Trust membership. The rooms were all perfectly clean and well appointed. A very attractive, well thought through home. The kitchen was really well equipped except for my usual comment that nowhere has oven gloves, maybe there is a reason for this?The house was great even for teenage children with Netflix etc available and a great internet connection. We had a couple of great family film evenings with popcorn etc.Thank you Ben for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Beautiful house in a beautiful and peaceful setting!!Met by Ben who showed us around. The house is clean and spacious, perfect for our 2 large dogs. Has all the amenities that you could need. Short walk to the river which is lovely to sit by. Enjoyed our stay away from the world so much we could move in.
