We were greeted as we arrived, which I did not expect at all as we arrived late evening and shown into the Granary. Ample facilities and space, and very cosy on a winters evening. Views from the property are stunning and you can step straight out onto public footpaths that can take you miles. We highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely stay :)

The cottage includes a very comfortable living/dining area along with a well-equipped kitchen and characterful bedroom. The enclosed private garden was a big asset to the property and, overall, we found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Yes, the stairs are steep and would certainly be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but, at 66 and 76, we found no difficulty. My tip for other guests - pack several smaller bags instead of one large one! The location is excellent, within easy reach of Ross on Wye and many visitor attractions and a very friendly local pub, serving great food, is just around the corner. Together with friendly and helpful owners on site, this had everything we look for in a holiday cottage.

Landlady was kind and supplied us with everything we could need! Upon reading previous reviews I can confirm the WiFi issue has been resolved but sadly the woodlice and steep climb to the bedroom hasnât. Me and my partner enjoyed our stay
