Enjoyed every minute at Melancroft. This was our 2nd visit and we'll be back again. Beds comfy, pillows a bit lumpy though! The house is warm and very well equipped and all instructions easy to follow. Found the TV a bit difficult to decipher but didn't care as we had cow vision in the field! Loved watching the cows and calves. Lots of things to do locally and farther afield, such as Ludlow, Hay on Wye and Llandrindod Wells. The Harp Inn has amazing views at sunset and the food was great. Definitely recommend a stay at Melancroft. Pearl was lovely too!
