Guests say
Foxcote New Court Farm is a spacious and well-equipped cottage, ideal for large families or groups seeking a peaceful countryside retreat. Guests consistently praise the generous living areas, comfortable beds, and friendly, approachable hosts. The location offers easy access to local attractions and scenic walks, while the enclosed garden is perfect for dogs. Some areas could benefit from updating and deeper cleaning, and the house can be creaky and a little chilly in winter. Overall, the property provides a charming and relaxing base for exploring Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding area.
Most guests found the property acceptably clean, but several mentioned issues such as an unclean barbecue, kitchen bin, cooker, and some bedding. While these did not overshadow the overall experience, a few reviews noted that a deeper clean would improve the stay.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major strength, offering tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to Ross-on-Wye, local attractions, and walking routes. The rural setting is appreciated by those seeking peace and access to nature.
Guests found the cottage spacious and the beds generally comfortable, with ample seating for large groups. Some noted creaky floors and occasional issues with heating in winter, but overall comfort levels were high.
The property is well-equipped for cooking and group dining, with plenty of utensils and seating. Facilities such as enclosed gardens for dogs and entertainment options are appreciated. Some maintenance and updating are needed, particularly regarding heating and décor.
Several guests mentioned friendly, helpful hosts and a welcome box of chocolates and prosecco. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay. The hosts' responsiveness and local recommendations were valued.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very spacious. A lovely location, very quiet with amazing views. A small enclosed garden area that gave the dog a place to play. Would recommend.

We had a lovely holiday and much needed family time. Foxcote does need some updating but the owners were very responsive and helpful when we reported a broken fridge. Those with light sleeping children do need to be aware that it is a very noisy house - the floors and doors are very creaky as are the pipes. The location is fantastic for access to the river and forest walks at Symonds Yat and we had great fun exploring Ross on wye and travelling a bit further to Hay as well. The Internet signal is poor which is either a plus or a minus depending on your view! The space was fantastic and the beds really comfortable
