  A 5* experience!

  'The Bothy' is a delightful place for a vacation. It is adjacent to the owners property, 'The Coach House', in a lovely rural location, within easy reach of a range of places to visit. The owners are a delightful couple who are friendly and knowledgeable should you wish to discuss the locality or have any issues (unlikely as The Bothy is presented in an excellent condition). The accommodation is attractive with original features such as wall and ceiling beams, whilst having been tastefully modernised to provide all key facilities. Our dog was nicely catered for with an enclosed patio area and semi-enclosed garden/field area for exercise and fun. The nearest pub, The Moody Cow, was already fully booked across the weekend we were there, so booking before you arrive is advised, as it looks to be very nice (they only take email or 'phone bookings). Ross-on-Wye (~10 mins) appears, most unfortunately, to have suffered in recent times with many vacant shops. Of the local towns Monmouth (~15 mins) was the most delightful, with a wide selection of independent shops as well as a small Waitrose and M&S Food Store, alongside a wide range of restaurants. Even though it was only a weekend break, we thoroughly enjoyed visits to Symonds Yat (~15 mins) and 'Waterfall Country' in the Brecon Beacons (~1.5 hrs).

  We have stayed at numerous Sykes' cottages over the years but I must admit that the owners of the Bothy are the most helpful we have come across.

  They even took my wife to a local historical society meeting as they knew we were interested in moving to the area. This is an upside down cottage with the living room on the first floor. It is very cosy and the the surrounding countryside is bursting with wildlife. From the living room you can exit the cottage and follow a small path down to the ground level so that dogs do not need to negotiate the fairly steep steps inside the cottage. Apparently one visitor had complained that the wifi was not working properly so the owners have installed a new system. When we arrived they checked the new system with us and I am pleased to say that it worked perfectly for the whole week. There is no mobile reception within the cottage but you only need to step outside to restore services. A great property with exceptional owners.

  A gem of a place in the most beautiful tranquil environments.

  If peace and quiet is what is needed (which it was) then this is the place. A home from home and with all the touches of quality and comfort to make the stay memorable. The hosts Nick and Nicci were warm and welcoming. Nothing was a problem for them and they are lovely genuine people. Their dogs are delightful and ours loved playing with them. The other person who deserves praise is the lovely lady who made our booking. I apologise but have forgotten her name, but she was superb. We booked on Thursday morning for the Friday and bank holiday weekend. Other companies could barely be bothered with my enquiry but this lady was excellent and understanding how stressed out I was she went above and beyond. She managed to act quickly to secure this brilliant accommodation. Special thanks to her - it did the trick!

  Lovely stay.

  The bothy was very homely and the hosts extremely welcoming and helpful. Facilities all very clean and in excellent condition and nicely furnished. We had a lovely time in the area - it is so quiet (no road noise for anyone wondering) and was lovely waking to bird song each morning! The valley in which the property is situated has a lovely path for an evening stroll (though no access to Upton Bishop as the OS map suggests) and we did a number of longer walks in the Wye Valley and wider area (Symonds Yat, Tintern Abbey, Sugar Loaf & Forest of Dean). The owners recommended the Alma at Lintern for food, which was a lovely village pub - though worth calling ahead for food as their kitchen is small! All in all, an excellent holiday and we would happily stay again.

  Lovely old cottage in a very quiet location with only the sound of birds sheep and the farm cockerel.

  Mr and Mrs Lloyd were very nice and the farm dog had us well trained in throwing his ball which he promptly brought back for us to throw again and again Cottage had everything we needed with a nice secluded rear garden which was lovely in the very nice weather we had on our week in May. also tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean with a great big clock in the lounge which made sure we did not lose track of time. Lovely location being not too far from Kington which is good for the butchers greengrocers and the co-op supermarket and a very good Chinese take away which was handy for the first night and just down the road we could hop over the border into Wales. Thank you Mr and Mrs Lloyd (Nick and Nicci) Phil Steve and Flick (the greyhound)
