Beautiful little cottage - perfect for a relaxing couple’s break, super well equipped for cookery, logs and matches ready for the fire, within walking distance of good local pubs and driving distance to a couple of really good eateries. Very friendly, helpful owners, who gave us a wonderful welcome with a personalised note and excellent t local produce, also made the whole experience very easy and pleasant - thank you!
One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Fabulous Welcome Pack, very well equipped and comfortable cottage and really helpful house-keeper. Would definitely recommend.
A quaint old cottage that is well maintained in a fascinating village. It is in easy distance of many interesting places to visit. For an evening meal we would strongly recommend The Cider Barn.
Beautiful decorated and very well equipped with everything we coild possibly need.
The cottage was easy to find, delightfully quirky and full of historical detail, extremely well equipped and close to lots of activities. It was welcoming to my dog too with a charming and fully enclosed garden, even for a Houdini-like cockapoo.
This was a delightful cottage. Clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Pictures, sculptures, throws and furnishings all made the cottages feel like a welcoming home. The garden was pretty and well maintained with comfortable garden furniture. Extras like a lovely vase of flowers and an extremely generous welcome pack added to the pleasure of staying here.
The cottage was everything we expected. Such a beautiful location and everything you need to enjoy a break. We went as a birthday treat and enjoyed our stay.
fantastic cottage, beautifully presented, thanks very much
The cottage is full of character, well-maintained and very clean, with a pleasant outdoor space at the back and easy parking.
Absolutely gorgeous, superbly furnished and cosy - and a generous delicious hamper also !
lovely cosy cottage, very well equipped and lovely location
Lovely cottage with so many original features. Cosy, clean and very well equipped.
Beautiful cottage. Everything you need. Best welcome pack ever. Took the pears home and made crumble. Red Lion pub very friendly. Angel in Kingsland great for food.
Lovely, cosy cottage in the most beautiful little black and white village. Very well appointed with everything you need for a break away from home. Absolutely perfect.
The Welcome Hamper was wonderful, especially the Prosecco and the cheese. It happened to be my husband’s birthday and we appreciated that we didn’t have to go out. Please note that several cottages in your portfolio we have been to are not providing wine which is what we thought is the standard? The last cottage was a cheap low alcohol wine and our current cottage there was no wine. The cottage was full of character with a pretty sunroom. Lots of firewood. The kitchen was good although the coating on the pans were scratched and need to be replaced so we couldn’t use them to scramble the eggs as they are not safe. The village is charming and our experience was delightful.
An amazing cottage in a really pretty and friendly village. The cottage was incredibly well equipped, clean and comfortable. The welcome happy was very welcoming as were the lamps on in the darker rooms. We had a fantastic week.
This cottage is a superb place to stay. Full of character and beautifully furnished with fascinating interior decorations. There was a comprehensive range of equipment and generous supplies on arrival. For us, it provided the perfect break, its location allowing easy trips to a wide range of places in Herefordshire. Our short stay coincided with a heatwave and we were pleased at how cool the ancient property remained whist its gorgeous series of small gardens, filled with roses and honeysuckle, were a great place to relax. We ate out a few times and concluded that one of the very best eateries in the whole region is the one just 5 mins down the road from Pembridge (The Cider Barn - superb cooking and atmosphere). Similarly, one of the loveliest gardens is also just down the A44 (Westonbury Mill Water Gardens). So this cottage is in a great position and also surrounded by amazing old black & white houses in Pembridge village.
lovely little cottage, beautiful village, every thing we needed for a weekend break. would recomend.
Lovely characterful cottage, comfortable, well equipped, nice garden.
