Comfortable, with plenty of space. Kitchen well equipped for eating in. Good parking. Information in the lobby useful. Quiet location with views across the fields. Fairly easy access to main routes.Only downside was the shower which was hard to adjust.

Confirmed Guest
This was a lovely location. A very restful stay with a comfortable bed and very quiet. I arrived late at night and unfortunately could not find my accommodation but the hosts were on site to assist. There was a welcome basket with bread and eggs and there were all the normal staples that were needed. The accommodation was very light with the open plan design and the balcony windows off the main bedroom. The shower was very tricky to get the hang of as it either ran very cold or very hot and took a lot of fine adjustment to get to a reasonable temperature. You need a car to get to anywhere local but for those who want to stay out of the way but close to Hereford it is ideal. The morning commute into Hereford is very lengthy. Took me an hour to go a few miles so plan your journey if you need to be there early. After 9am it was quick and easy.
