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.

One of the loveliest holiday cottages we’ve stayed in- everything we needed and the hot tub was lovely- a must when you have had a day out walking.
Great walks which the dogs enjoyed especially the Devil’s Pulpit and up the Angiddy Valley. A great walk in woodland where they were off the lead the whole time. Also there is a great walk from the door of the cottage.
Looking forward to a return visit

Many thanks for a very comfortable stay- this is undoubtedly the most well equipped holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in. And we appreciated the flowers, Welsh Cakes and wine!
We’ve been lucky to have had ideal weather for exploring the area on foot, and especially liked the view from the Devil’s Pulpit looking towards Tintern Abbey.
Good food at The Anchor pub in Tintern and also the Saracens Head at Symonds Yat.
Looking forward to visiting the area again.

Thank you a truly relaxing week. Started each day with a 1-2 hour hike up and down the hills around the cottage, loved by me, my mum and the 3 dogs. Amazing walks and fabulous views. Fab views from The Devil’s Pulpit.
Don’t miss the Lime Kiln area – great if it’s raining so protected by trees.
Teenagers happy to chill and enjoy the secret WiFi, plus a session of top adventure at Go Ape; and pottery around the village, drinks in the cafes and The Anchor pub.
Beds were amazing- slept brilliantly ever night.
Weather, though overcast was perfect.

Beautiful, exceeded our expectations! Many hikes up to the hills to view points then rewarded with fantastic food ( Anchor and The Fountain) and much wine! We couldn’t resist lighting the fire ( it is August!) And having Jacuzzi’s [Whirlpool bath], also midnight walks to The Abbey.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in this stunning cottage, we don’t want to go home.
