  A really nice cottage with very good facilities, in a handy position.

  ...... The cottage grounds, the actual cottage and the facilities were great. The cottage is a good size (2 bed) and in a handy location to get out and about. It's peaceful and secure in a small quiet village location and is just a nice area to go for gentle walks. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and the cottage is situated in a good location for nearby Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and Hereford as well as the motorway to go further afield to places like Gloucester. All of these are worth a visit. Also, Symmonds Yat viewpoint is nearby which is spectacular. For families with children, it's a short drive to Coleford to visit Beechenhurst (walking trails, kids play park, large cafe, climbing / highwire facilities, cycling tracks), Symmonds Yat for river cruises, Cannop ponds for wooded lake side walks, and the Dean Heritage Centre which has outside space, a museum and regular craft type events in the village of Lower Soudley. *The listing advertises fishing on site, but this is not accurate and the listing really needs changing. The listing says to speak with the owner to arrange fishing from their land, into Garron Brook, but this wasn't actually an option. I spoke with her and she advised fishing elsewhere and provided contact details of a local fly fishing club. The owner did not provide an option of fishing on their land at all. This is not what I expected and was disappointing. The town stretch of the river Wye in Ross-on-Wye can be fished on a day ticket scheme, with tickets purchased from the tackle shop on Ross-on-Wye High Street. However, it's busy (as you'd imagine) with canoeists, swimmers, dogs etc. Also, the bank is very steep in most places so there are only a handful of accessible swims. It certainly looks a great spot to wet a line though, so worth considering. Overall this was another lovely family holiday away in this part of the UK. Well worth a visit.

  We had a very good week in this place.

  The cottage is quite cosy downstairs, the beds are comfortable. It was a very warm week but we managed to keep the cottage sufficiently cool and we enjoyed having a garden at our disposition. For four adults the cottage would be a little tiny (e.g. the dining table is not so large) but for a family it was just right and the only thing we would recommend is to slightly expand the number of cups, cutlery etc. But the dishwasher was quick and quiet so this is a minor point. The owners live next to the cottage and are helpful but do not intrude. What we especially liked here is the area the cottage was situated in, which absolutely exceeded our expectations. We were planning to use the place mainly as a base to go to the Brecon Beacons, but actually we almost only stayed in the area which is at the same time very pretty, quite laid back seeming a bit overlooked by the mainstream, yet full of things to do; we walked in the beautiful and varied scenery (meandering rivers/towering cliffs/wild forests/good pubs), went cycling, canoeing and all of that within very easy reach of the cottage. When we left we concluded we could have easily stayed another week.

  As we had to postpone our original booking here because of a bereavement, the owners, Mr &Mrs Harris spoke to us and agreed a different date although they would be away at the time, just sorry we didn't meet them.

  The annexe was perfect for us, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a week's stay. We were there at the end of October and it would be ideal for the Summer too. The village is lovely, though no facilities there and is about 5 miles from Ross on Wye and Monmouth, so any shopping was in either place as no shops in Llangaran. Lots of things to do nearby including the stunning views of the Wye from Symonds Yat and English Heritage Goodrich Castle. We have camped and caravaned for 55 years and giving that up is hard, but this little annexe was described as smaller than expected one reviewer, but we loved it as it was closer to caravan living with added luxuries and no setting up. The only issue we have is with Sykes as we had to pay £70 insurance and booking fees again when transferring the booking to a later date...a bit mean I think.

  We stayed at the Coach House for a week in August with our children aged 12, 10 and 7.

  The absolute highlight of the stay was the swimming pool and hot tub area which we were lucky enough to use plenty as the weather was amazing. The coach house was so very lovely and clean, everything you could need in the kitchen to make family meals and beds very comfortable. Lots of lovely little personal touches too we felt very well looked after by our hosts. Ingrid and Neil are the most hospitable and relaxed hosts and it was lovely to get to know them and their lovely dog too. We needn't have worried about the proximity of the Coach house to their home it wasn't a problem at all. Thank you for a wonderful holiday stay we have come away with great memories!

  A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location.

  We enjoyed the walks along the sculpture trail and the town and country walk from Ross on Wye. We also took several walks along the river Wye. The cottage was clean and warm, so much so that we switched off the radiators in the bedrooms. Nice to have two log burners as well. We struggled to find the keys for the shed and the patio until we discovered them under the sink, might be worth a mention to holidaymakers, where to find these. Nice that pets are allowed at this lovely cottage, which meant that my family could come with their dog for a couple of days. Thank you Lyn and Dave for letting out this property.
