We brought our own breakfast

The decor seems a little dated

Host available and showed us to our cottages

The setting, lovley gardens the thoughtfully designed comfortable atmospheric rooms. The friendly owners

The only thing was I could not get the wifi to work, I did not mention it to the owners and to be honest I could survive without it anyway

Well maintained and good facilities

nothing

The ambience and the period look. Also the location. The fireplace was really a big plus and a much needed facility. We had everything we needed for the stay

The heating system could be upgraded. The electricity system is a bit old with coin based operation which you need to pay. The bathroom could do with an exhaust fan.

The cottage was warm and the host was most informative and welcoming. Having got a little lost due to misreading the sat nav, and having called for help, the host came out on a cold Jan night to direct us into her driveway! We were celebrating a family 60th birthday and having an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with wood burner, it was perfect to have everyone together whatever we were doing. Location was great for Monmouth and the River Wye and had we been staying longer than a weekend, there would have been plenty to see and walks to take in the immediate area.

None at all.

friendly and nice owners who were very obliging

location with good facilities

Gorgeous countryside, comfy beds, cosy cottage

Could have been some dvds to use

Every thing to a high standard

WIFI very very poor . Very unclear what the WIFI code was.

Cottages was nice but....

On arrival we were greated by the lady whom runs the cottages and wasn't very welcoming. We were shown to the cottage which freezing cold at 3pm, there was no heating and would only come on again in the early hours of the morning. We were then shown the pre paid electric meter which was unexpected, we asked about putting the heating on and said nothing could be done about it and just have to wait till the morning. We got given extra electric heaters which cost us extra to heat up the rest of the cottage and rooms before having been told we need to make our way to the petrol station to buy wood for the fireplace as the property wasn't able to provide (which would have cost a extra £10 per a basket) any as it was already starting to get cold. The following day we tried speaking with the owner telling her about our issues with the cold cottage (even with the heating coming on in the morning) we were then told again the we need to go buy wood from the petrol station and then told it was our own fault for going to stay there the time that we did, which was the only time we could as we work in the industry and is the quieter time. We book to stay 4 nights (at a cost of £640) and only ended up staying 1 of the 4 nights, after the rudeness of the owner and been told we were wrong and didn't know what we are talking about we decided to pack up our things and leave. When I asked for a invoice, the look on her face was as if she couldn't believe I'm asking for one with her eyes been rolled at me to be told they don't give invoices and when asked only to be told, they don't do such things. The owner wasn't happy to help in any way or even offer some kind of compensation to make us stay and try enjoy the property. It's a shame they don't understand the problems they have or try changing there ways,the cottages are nice but it's the owner who's bringing it down.

Everything

Peaceful

Pretty cosy cottage with great original features. Host was lovely. Quiet location, not far outside Monmouth.

Very nice cottage with great access to lots of tourist attractions in the Forest of Dean etc.

No freezer (just ice box in fridge) a slight nuisance. Lucky we had plenty of change for the electricity meter.

Lovely owner, really friendly and wonderful host. 😊

The weather

Old mattresses ; i had to pay extra for the electricity ; no private space to sit and have a meal or cuppa outside without people walking 1 meter feom your table ; busy restaurant.

Great location, quiet, well kept surrounding area

Lovely characterful rooms.

Wi-Fi intermittent service - about 2 hours over 3 days. Very inconvenient electricity slot meter, had no cash on arrival and had to make special trip out for cash withdrawal, then change it for the correct coinage before we could relax. I would rather spend a further £20 on rent than have to put-up with feeding a slot meter!

It was very pretty. Lovely grounds. Gorgeous meadow out back. Traditional cottages, decor and features. Was tidy, but could have done with a better clean, especially in Covid. But overall very nice. Would re visit. Need a car though.

Lovely area. Great views at the back of the property. Pretty courtyard area. Our girls loved playing in the meadow.

You need a car to get around, but we knew that in advance. The cottages/grounds were lovely, but would have liked a more thorough clean. It was clean and tidy generally, but I did have to hoover up some dead flies and wasps, and clean some of the pans before we used them. The hoover didn't work very well, I would have been happy to use it otherwise. Only a small suggestion.
