Reviews from our guests

There are several places where our guests leave us comments.

Not everyone writes in our books ( and they were plastic wrapped during the pandemic which meant many did not ) – but some people do write by hand in the visitor books in each cottage ( sometimes even signed by the pets! ) Sometimes people forget to write in the book and e mail us later. We faithfully copy these comments as they come in and we upload them here. The only thing we ever hide or alter is the full guest name and address for obvious reasons of privacy.

Secondly we encourage our guests to write about us on the site through which they booked (Trip Advisor, Air B and B, Cottages.com, Freetobook  etc)

As you will see we do have brilliant reviews. They are genuine, not a “fix” and  and its not that nothing ever goes wrong!  Although our standards are very high just occasionally, in the real world,  things are bound to happen. Machines fail, something breaks. The successive good reviews are  because if something does go awry, and if our guests tell us about it  during their stay,  we do move heaven and earth to fix it while those guests are still with us. People greatly appreciate this effort  on our part  and we guarantee  we always make it. If once in a while a review is less than wonderful it is  almost always the case that it was outside our control ( internet down or slow in the whole area for example)  or we were only advised about a problem after those guests had departed when there was nothing we could do to make it better.

A really enjoyable week passed quickly in such an interesting and wonderful area, capped by a whole weeks worth of sunny weather. what more could we ask for?
A wonderful cottage. Thank you

We have enjoyed our stay in your beautiful cottage. Thank you for your warm welcome and welcoming gifts. We enjoyed visiting Tintern Abbey, Raglan Castle and Blaenavon, and were lucky to have some sunny days. The Food at The Black Bear was excellent.

Had a lovely time at the cottage. Loved just relaxing in a rural retreat with a lovely fire, beautiful flowers and all the other little touches. Our boy love watching the horse through the window. We enjoyed visiting Puzzlewood, Symonds Yat rock, Tintern Old Railway Station and Abbey Mill in Tintern. The weather was kind enough to allow us to walk in the woods which was just great. Overall a great birthday break.
Thank you

Just wanted to say how much we have enjoyed our time here at Foxes Reach. We have had some lovely sunny days and enjoyed time at Tintern Old Station, Abergavenny, Chepstow, Coleford and Tintern Abbey. We also love Raglan Castle as did Moon our Ssharpei dog.
We will definitely return here as the cottage is gorgeous and the hot tub has been fab too. It has been nice to be away from it all, but not too far from civilization. The homemade Vodka was delicious and the cakes a very nice touch and went down well.
Anyway, thanks so much. We are leaving Catbrook refreshed, relaxed and very happy. Moon absolutely loved the fire.
