Christine
The fact that it has a ground floor is one of the reasons we chose it as my dad has mobility issues; but we would definitely return. The views are spectacular. Although quite remote, it is only a short drive from Hereford. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed. We had hoped to enjoy the log burner, but due to unseasonally warm weather, and the underfloor heating, the property was incredibly warm and we had to turn the heating off. This small issue aside, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

We were a mixed group of family ages, 9 people in total. The house has absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Super comfortable beds. Lots of space in the living areas. There are now fabulous new couches in the living room and a larger dining table than in the pictures. The underfloor heating makes everything cosy. Itâs very convenient to have so many bathrooms when there are so many people. Stunning scenery in a fantastic rural setting but with so many local attractions. Great pubs for evening meals within 10-20 minutes drive. So much to see and explore. We will definitely be back.
