The place was really clean and tidy, and the hosts very welcoming! We had a lovely time and will likely stay here again! Hopefully with less flooding next time.

They are on hand to sort out any minor problems if any occur. The cottage is very well located for visiting the Wye Valley, particularly Ross and Hereford. Ross has some very good restaurants. The welcome pack was much appreciated and we enjoyed the hot tub.
