Spacious cottage with lovely antique furniture and enormous but neglected ‘secret’ walled garden - a great discovery through an archway! Well-equipped kitchen with quality crockery, but could do with a sort-out of large number of surplus bowls, vases, cutlery and oddments. Couldn’t find a vegetable steamer, and there was a very brief power-cut so some candles would be useful. Agree with others that they are mean with loo rolls, but good to have two toilets and a warm bathroom with bath and separate shower. As a light sleeper, the busy A49 Ross to Hereford Road woke me up so slept with window shut and radiator off to keep cool - could do with lighter duvets as they were too warm for me, although partner was happy in his room. Great to have two double beds, as we sleep separately and he often ends up in a twin room and a single bed!A49 is very busy and not a lot nearby, one hotel/pub up the road which we didn’t visit - we tended to do lots of driving - Hereford, Monmouth, Black Mountain, Croft Castle, Raglan Castle - and cook in the evening. TV was incredibly difficult to operate, but there were simpler televisions in both bedrooms.

The cottage is full of charm with a garden to relax in the spring sunshine.Clean and tidy.There are many pretty villages close by.The local shop stocks all you need but you will need a car to get there.Will definitely book again.

This is a charming cottage with all the comforts you would expect - except the owner does not provide toilet paper so make sure you bring some! Also no logs for the log burner. It is very comfortable and furnished with lovely old pieces. It is close to Hereford and Ross which are good for days out and there are nice walks nearby.The directions how to find the cottage are technically correct but you have to follow the Church wall all round the church the lane looks like a separate left turn so it's easy to miss especially if you arrive after dark.The contact phone number on the booking information did not work (owner lives abroad and phone is switched off). There is a contact number for the cleaner but only on the info inside the cottage so no good if you can't get in. It would have been good to have this on the booking confirmation.
