Guests say

Howle Hideaway is a well-received cottage in Herefordshire, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and welcoming hosts. Guests enjoyed the beautiful views, the private patio, and the proximity to woodland walks and local attractions. The presence of alpacas and the owners' dogs added to the charm. Some guests noted the spiral staircase as challenging but manageable.

The cottage received high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it was spotless and well-maintained, indicating meticulous attention to hygiene and presentation.

The location is celebrated for its quietness, stunning views, and proximity to nature and local sights. However, a few guests noted the need for a car due to its rural setting.

Overall, guests found the cottage comfortable, with a lovely garden and patio. Some guests, however, mentioned the sofas were saggy and the spiral staircase posed a challenge, especially at night.

Facilities were generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped. A few guests mentioned the removal of items due to COVID restrictions and the challenge of the spiral staircase.

Hosts were appreciated for their thoughtfulness, with mentions of a welcome pack and gifts. While these gestures were highly valued, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.

    We were blessed with the weather, so made the most of sitting outside of the cottage. Owners friendly without being intrusive. Cottage was comfortable and equipped with all implements. WiFi was intermittent but we did get online everyday.
