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.

Wonderful week, so relaxing and peaceful- just what we needed.
Beautiful scenery and walks with our dog and the cottage is lovely.
Thank you

After an awful journey it was a delight to find such a lovely cottage. Everything was just perfect and the extras much appreciated by us all!!! The weather was kind and we enjoyed sitting in the garden. Lots of dog friendly pubs in the area. The Black Bear is especially nice. Enjoyed the break so much intend to check the availability for September / October so hopefully will see you then.
Thank you

Very comfortable cottage with lovely views. Great location. Really enjoyed our stay. Many lovely local walks. Abbey is beautiful. Goodrich Castle and Tintern Old Station are both worth a visit.
Thank you

A delightful cottage in a beautiful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our walks around Usk, Hay on Wye, Monmouth and Wentwood forest.
In the evenings we enjoyed the cottage and the thoughtful presents left by Fiona and Malcolm-wine doggy biscuit, blackcurrant,Vodka, welsh cakes… the list goes on.
We’d love to come back again next year. Thank you for all the care and attention to detail. A very special 25th wedding anniversary for us.
