Really fabulous accommodation. Very comfy bed so really restful sleep and great to have a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Everything you could wish for from a holiday cottage and more. The weather was awful but it was lovely to snuggle up in front of the woodburner and watch the cows oustide the window. The only downside was not being able to go for a long walk direct from the door but a walk along the river Wye was only a short drive away which made up for it.
