Great property in a lovely area. Property well resourced and was really good for a pensioner with mobility issues. Views from Symonds Yat were breathtaking and a great base for visiting Wales.

The Granary
Lovely cottage with everything we could need for our stay. The layout is perfect with two en-suite bathrooms, a lounge and kitchen area. It was a shame the weather wasn’t better so that we could enjoy the outdoor garden area.
Lovely touch from Amanda with the scones which were much appreciated. Thank you!

Really nice property for a quiet stay
A really nice property in a quiet country location close to Ross-on-Wye. Nice spots to sit in the sun with a glass of wine. Accommodation is just as the pictures show and the hosts are very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended. (Just be aware, as expected, there are no shops/pubs/restaurants etc. within walking distance).

Everything we could have hoped for, delightful hosts!
Property is high spec with lovely views and nice patio garden.
Great location to explore Wye Valley and Forest of Dean.
Highlights are 1) rental canoeing on Wye, stunning scenery, accessible to all ages, 2) Forest of Dean Cycle centre, like a mini ski resort for mountain biking, with beginner, intermediate a dceasy family loops. But also days out at local castles and towns (Ross and Monmouth).
Hosts adorable and lovely interesting and well travelled folk. Not intrusive, just friendly and open. Made us delicious scones and invited us to feed neighbouring farms lambs!!! Heart warming!!!

Winter break at Little Howle
We stayed in the Granary, a delightful cottage that was comfortably furnished to a high standard and very well equipped. There were many thoughtful touches, both inside and out. The hosts were great, and nothing was too much trouble. This was the perfect area for getting away from it all with numerous walks, both close by, and further afield. Ross on Wye was very appealing during the festive season.

Early Autumn Get Together
The property was easy to find, in a beautiful area. It was very comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The hosts were fabulous and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was hard to leave and would definitely visit again

Delightful cottage with delightful hosts
From the moment we arrived Amanda was a joy. She made us feel at home straight away and made a daily fuss of our daughter. She went far in excess of what you image a host to do on a number of occasions. The cottage is high spec and comfortable, with all the equipment you require for a weeks self catering. The area is quiet, but great location for the Wye Valley region. We would recommend it to everybody.

Our stay at The Granary
We stayed in The Granary for a week this summer, the cottage, location and hosts Amanda and Derek were all lovely. We really appreciated their friendly, personal approach, happy to give advice and recommendations as well as delicious scones and a welcome bottle of wine! Thank you for having us to stay at Little Howle Farm 😊

really lovely
The whole property is beautifully thought through and executed, with design that doesn't compromise on form or function and lovely details wherever you look.
Amanda was a lovely and thoughtful host, and we felt very welcome and treated like friends.
The area is stunning, and we had the break we really needed, with rest, relaxation, beautiful views and an active day canoeing on the Wye.

WOW, what a fantastic place to stay.
Derek and Amanda are fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond.
The Granary was beautifully done to a very high standard and had absolutely everything you would need for an enjoyable holiday. The beds were so comfortable.
Summons yat was a lovely place to visit and also Monmouth.
There is a lovely river walk in Ross on Wye and there are also some lovely shops.
We will definitely be back and hopefully I will be able to fit some crafting in with Amanda.
Oh, I can’t write a review and not mention the delicious scones and lemon drizzle cake that Amanda made for us. They were the lightest scones I have ever tasted,
Thank you Amanda.

Fabulous stay
Our 2nd time at Little Hole Farm and had a fantastic time. Derek and Amanda are the perfect hosts - more like friends. Everything was spotless and the property is beautiful and has everything you could wish for. We're already planning our next visit.
Book and stay - you won't be disappointed!

The Granary , Howle farm
The property was in a good location and ideal for exploring the local area. The house it self was perfect , and was very homely , comfortable to stay in and had every thing in that was needed.The owners made us feel warmly welcomed and on arrival had provided few essentials and during our stay Amanda made us home made scones and provide freshly baked bread. Also was very helpful on suggesting places to visit.

Excellent! Lovely property, everything you need, plus wonderful owners
Amanda and Derek have done a brilliant job converting the property. It's very comfortable and has everything you'll need - and if there is something specific that's not there they'll try their best to get it. They are so welcoming and helpful, a great couple. We loved the private garden and the double wash basins were a real luxury!! Very peaceful, beautiful area. We enjoyed visiting towns like Ledbury and Ludlow and stunning Symonds Yat. Never made it to Malvern, maybe next time. We left feeling really relaxed after 5 very enjoyable days. Thank you Amanda and Derek.

Very comfortable stay, lots to see nearby
Having stayed in many rentals across the world, this is one of the best we have stayed in.
The accommodation is of a very high quality, with a warm welcome. Very relaxing and quiet. Could have stayed a lot longer.
Lots to see nearby, Hereford (have the weeping window at present), Hay on Wye, Raglan Castle and if you want a fabulous meal there is the Michelin starred Walnut Tree restaurant only 40 minutes away.
Or simply unwind in what is a very comfortable, relaxing rental...
Strongly recommended.

Amazing in every way!
We have just returned from a fantastic break in the Granary! I cannot recommend this place and the hosts enough!
Beautiful, clean accommodation and, as mentioned so many times before in these reviews, the attention to detail is excellent.
Amanda and Derek are so warm and welcoming! Wonderful advice on where to visit and fresh warm bread on the first morning as well as a breakfast 'pack' [and wine!] when you arrive. Jam and clotted cream scones on the last evening too!
When you get a holiday experience like this- we left feeling like old friends- you know you will return in the future!
Thank you again Amanda and Derek! We loved every minute!

A beautiful and comfortable home away from home.
We loved every minute of our short but sweet stay at The Granary - Little Howle Farm. Amanda was so welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. The cute extra touches (coffee, breakfast essentials and of course the yummy freshly baked bread first thing in the morning) all made our stay all the more cozy and enjoyable! Can't wait to visit Amanda and stay at Little Howle again, only this time for longer!

Excellent place to stay
We arrived on Boxing Day, 2 hours earlier than expected but was greeted by Amanda and was shown around the Granary accommodation. She explained in detail where everything was and how it worked, a really nice touch was the Xmas present that (Santa) had dropped off for our 4 year old granddaughter on her bed.
The Granary was extremely well presented and all items you would require were to hand, another lovely touch was the breakfast for the next morning all ready with hand written notes, also a fresh baked loaf was dropped at the door at 0800hrs.
Amanda & Derek we’re excellent hosts even at 8 o’clock on New Year’s Eve came around with some mistletoe, all in all I would highly recommend staying at this property if touring the area or want a quite time away. We will be returning in the summer months for a long weekend to see more of the attractions and beautiful area of the Forest of Dean.
Amanda & Derek a big thank you from all my family for hosting us over the new year period and the thoughtful little things you did for our granddaughter 😁�👍�

Absolutely fabulous property
We had a great stay at Little Howle farm. The Granary had everything we needed for us and both of our children, from plastic cutlery to rubber ducks in the bath. The location was close to our family in Ross-on-Wye and gave us a great base to explore Herefordshire and South Wales. The hosts are truly lovely people, who assisted us to feel welcome by flying our country flag on arrival, baking birthday cakes and washing our clothes whilst we took day trips. We have travelled to many cottages in the area and this was by far the best. Thanks to Amanda and Derek, we will be back

Superb, couldn't ask for more
The property was superbly presented, decorated and equipped. All our needs were met. A really warm welcome and lots of suggestions, as to what to do, from Amanda & Derek. The location was superb and gave easy access to everything the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean has to offer. We also enjoyed a trip into Wales.
We have stayed in many self catering cottages over the years and this was by far the best.
