A wonderful weekend for 16 at Monnington House for a 50th birthday party. The house is extremely well set up with 9 very comfortable and well appointed en-suite rooms, with seemingly endless hot water. The kitchen has all the equipment you could need to cater for a large group and there is space to sit all together both inside and also out on the terrace (including large BBQ). 3 sitting rooms each with their own log burners meant that there was always somewhere to find a bit of space - not forgetting pool table, table football and table tennis. Anna could not have been more helpful with all arrival/departure arrangements and I can wholeheartedly recommend Debbie and Woody for any catering requirements. All in all top class and hope to be back.

This is the 2nd time our family of 14 have been to Monnington and how would we like to go again ! It is a house and grounds with the WOW factor and having our Christmas there was just brilliant.

Our large family from Yorkshire, Surrey, West Midlands and Monmouth all stayed here for 4 nights over New Year. The house is amazing with everything you would need. There were so many of us we had to use the cottage as well which I gather was also amazing. The addition of en suite bathrooms to every bedroom was just so convenient and wonderful. We used all the facilities and had our own New Year Games competition which was immense fun. We had a superb meal at the Old Black Lion, Hay-on-Wye on New Year's Day and would highly recommend the restaurant. We were all sorry to leave at the end of our stay but are returning again this coming New Year for a whole week! We would like to thank our hosts for all the hard work they put in to make the property so comfortable for their quests and also thank them for the wonderful welcome pack which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. See you again on the 28th December, 2015.

Monnington House accomodated our extended family of 16 (youngest 6 months, eldest 81 years!) for one week in July 2015. Even with such a large number to be catered for we never felt crowded - far from it. The kitchen was perfect for cooking large meals for all, as well as enabling multiple cooks to prepare separately at lunch and snack time! The house is beautifully decorated from top to bottom. The luxury (necessity with big family!) of an en-suite with baths and showers for every room was amazing. The large outside space, with lawns and plentiful seating (plus essential BBQ) was enjoyed by children and adults alike. Great location for the convenience of Hereford - swimming pool, shops and the Beer & Cider Festival - as well as beautiful towns such as Hay and canoeing on the Wye. Highly recommended.

The property was lovely and a great size for everyone to both get together and have some quiet time away from the rest too. Very well equipped kitchen. The weather was lovely so we had chance to enjoy the outside space too including the football field. The attached cottage is a nice addition. The stay was enjoyed by all.

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Monnington House. The facilities and the setting were perfect and the owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The family would like to return one day!

We had a great week staying at Monnington House. The booking process was straight-forward and Anna the owner was very helpful throughout. The house was just as beautiful as it looks on the website and has clearly been a labour of love. Extremely clean and well-presented throughout. Beds were all exceptionally comfortable - everyone commented on just how well they slept. We were a large family group with ages ranging from 18 months to 70 years and the house suited us perfectly. Lots of space for us to spread out in and the grandparents could retire to the cottage annexe at night to avoid an early morning wake-up call from the children. The large secluded gardens were a big hit with the children, there are lovely walks from the doorstep and a really useful farm shop just up the road for an essentials. We visited the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre at nearby Kington which the children loved and also enjoyed days out in Hay on Wye and also at some nearby National Trust properties. We mostly catered for ourselves at the house as it was easier than eating out with the children but that was made very easy with a large well-equipped kitchen, 2 dishwashers, 2 large fridges etc. All in all I would highly recommend Monnington House to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in a very lovely part of the country.
