Reviews from our guests

There are several places where our guests leave us comments.

Not everyone writes in our books – 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  sometimes we were  inexplicably only advised about a problem after those guests had departed when there was sadly nothing we could do to make it better.

Stunning, quaint cottage with a Tintern Abbey Cottage and Abbey.
Large garden, stunning views of the Abbey and the valley.
The walks for our

So many good walks for humans and their doggy “carers”

are fab with trails from the door in all directions. The cottage is close to Offa’s Dyke path and the Wye Valley Walk
The village has lovely artisan shops and a fantastic pub with good food.
Also a great spot to watch the local cricket teams!
We highly recommend the cottage and will return.

There are some surprising activities for people of all ages to enjoy and experience in Tintern, the Wye Valley and surrounding area in Monmouthshire. For those that enjoy using their mobile phones there is Geocaching!

The area has some excellent golf courses and fishing on the River Usk.

Canoe the Wye from Ross on Wye to Monmouth or Monmouth to Redbrook.

Stand up paddle boarding and wild swimming (including some naturist sessions) at Court Farm Lakes Sauna, swim, cafe and Stand up paddle boarding sessions.

The Shire Hall in Monmouth boasts the court room of the Chartist trials and a visit to the dungeons and at Caerleon the Roman fortress and baths and baths is well worth a visit.

With so much to do you will want to return!

We have really enjoyed the late night soak in the hot tub looking up at the starsand a warming fire in the evenings.

The cottage is so cosy and just perfect for us.

During our stay, we have been to the Cleddon Shoots waterfall, a walk which was just fantastic. Then we went to the Symonds Yat viewpoint overlooking the River wye. We fully recommend this place to visit. We have also been to the Clearwell Caves.

Thank you so much to our hosts Fiona and Malcolm who were very helpful and shared all their knowledge of the area.

All the touches in the cottage helped make our stay all the more enjoyable.

We would definitely recommend Foxes Reach to our friends and we would like to come again.

Yet another fantastic break at Foxes Reach.

We have enjoyed every moment of our stay.

It really is the perfect place to unwind.

We’ve had stunning weather too and have enjoyed several walks in the area and a visit to Tintern Abbey.

There’s still so much that we haven’t had a chance to see yet in the area so I’m sure we will be back very soon.

Thanks so much to Fiona for being so helpful!
