  Lovely old, atmospheric, cottage with an even lovelier garden!

  The variety of plants in the garden competes with a castle walled garden! We spent hours watching the birds, fish and dragonflies, and relaxed completely in the beautiful surroundings. Garden was laid out in a way, with bushes and trees, with lawn in between, that the children played hide-and-seek for hours. Owner was extremely friendly, giving us ideas for family trips and good restaurants, and brought a lemon drizzle cake on arrival at the cottage! The house is well maintained and contained everything we could possibly have needed: storage space, comfortable beds, bedding, kitchen appliances, puzzles, table tennis, DVDs, lovely sized bath, conservatory and separate shower room! We felt so at home, but the attention to detail made it feel like a hotel holiday. Huge compliment to the owner. We visited lots of National Trust sites but also larger towns like Hereford or Shrewsbury, and the scenery whilst driving was breathtaking. We hiked in the area too, and further afield in the Brecon Beacons. The beauty of this area, the wildlife, the owner's welcome and support, the cottage and garden, the historical locations, and the river all contributed to one of the most relaxing but stimulating holidays (with three children under 12 years of age! ) for years! We would love to come back, and the memories will remain a lifetime.

  We stayed for 1 week over the may half term.

  Cobweb corner is a cute little cottage full of character and charm! Tony who owns it lives in the larger adjoining cottage door with his lovely dog Otto. Tony was so friendly and accommodating and was so good (as was otto) with our daughter. He is full of local knowledge, places to visit, pubs to eat at etc. Our daughter loved the attic play room and having a quiet hide away space to chill out in. Beds were comfy and we slept so well after long days on the beach. Full digital TV package to catch up on programmes or chill out with a film night. Never ran out of hot water with us all showering every night to get rid of the sand. There's no oven but a clean and easy to use air fryer, electric touch hob and microwave was fine to cook a variety of meals! A shop next door (expensive) but very useful for grabbing essentials or a bottle of wine and only a 10 minute stroll to the local beach which is beautiful. If there's anything you need just ask Tony and he'll help or point you in the right direction! We have previously stayed at Trecco bay caravan site (round the corner) but much preferred Cob Webb corner for a more chilled out and relaxed holiday away from the hustle and bustle of it all!!

  Lower Court Byre is not showy but quite simply a place of great beauty and warmth.

  The lovely garden, inspired by Claude Monet's Garden at Giverny, is a place of quiet refreshment, and is, indeed, a place difficult to leave. We were thrilled to see woodpeckers and a heron by the lake. The birds are so used to human beings they come to the feeding station when one is only a few yards away at the picnic table. The house is well thought-out and carefully arranged. eg. There is a hand towel in both toilets, obviating the need to traipse around finding one and the fire was a dream to light, to tend and to enjoy. We were welcomed by a whole and magnificent lemon cake and a more than helpful family who were really pleased to offer advice about the kind of things we might enjoy. The place and their whole attitude conspired to make this one of the most regenerative holidays we have ever enjoyed. We think this was partly because we did not feel like tenants but welcome visitors.

  Cobweb Corner – a great name for a really great little holiday cottage!

  ! Nestled right in the heart of Newton village we spent 5 lovely days in this warm cosy cottage that was full of character and ‘olde-worlde’ charm. Tony made us feel really welcome when we arrived, gave us all the information we needed, showed us round, and was on hand just next door if we wanted anything. The bed was really comfy, nice bathroom, cosy lounge, seating indoors and out, and very tidy, just what we wanted. Location is incredible, only 2 minutes’ walk to the village green, church, pub, and places of interest, and 5 minutes from the wonderful beach. Tony shared all his local knowledge, gave fantastic insights into the 400-year history of the cottage, and added some thoughtful little touches to our stay. Great holiday, thanks Tony From Paul, Jackie & Cokie the pug.

  I cannot recommend Lower Court Byre highly enough, is the most comfortable cottage we have ever stayed in.

  It was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. All the rooms are large and airy, super comfortable furniture in the lounge and the beds were fabulous. There is a good sized fridge in the kitchen and a 3 drawer freezer and washing machine in the utility room. We went with our grandchildren aged 6 and 7 and found the garden and grounds absolutely perfect for them to play in. There are birds galore and a kingfisher fishing from the bridge over the pond in the morning was breathtaking. The owners were both really friendly and kind and a pleasure to chat with. Thank youTrevor and Monica. Just one little thought, a blind or curtain for the arched kitchen window would be nice, give that bit more privacy. But that’s only one tiny comment and in no way would it stop us returning.
