About this property

Recharge your batteries and rest in the king-size bed tucked in the corner of the room, and wake up to enjoy a refreshing shower in the bathroom.

Its very roomy with with many a nod to its history. Ideal spot in Kington and great for visiting the surrounding area.

The owners were very thoughtful and provided everything we needed for the holiday. The place is clean and cosy. Itâs great that we can control our own room temperature. We were staying with a 15 months baby. The place is baby friendly, enough toys to entertain her, but no sharp corners to cause the danger. We will stay again when travelling in the region next time.

The property is spacious, comfortable and airy. It is in the village but is not noisy. It is open plan/studio (apart from the bathroom) so is ideal for a couple. The owner was very friendly and there was a nice welcome pack which we enjoyed. The kitchen has enough crockery etc to be able to self cater. The fridge had an ice box freezer compartment, but there are some very nice food shops very close by, with two convenience shops for the last minute things in the evening, and a reasonable sized co-op the other side of the village but still walkable. There were pubs and takeaways too so food was very easy. The nearby car park was very busy on the Friday and Saturday evenings, it also services the local residents and the pub restaurant so I would recommend getting back early on those evenings. It was lovely to see such a vibrant village in a great area. Fabulous for walkers.
