Mr and Mrs Jenkins were lovely hosts, greeting us upon arrival. The cottage is located where you can find clear views of River Wye, close to canoe + kayaking facilities, as well as other outdoor activities and access to stunning public footpaths. The cottage was a perfect retreat after a long day cycling or canoeing, warm and comfortable. A perfect stay for a nature-based adventure!

A pleasant stay in a character cottage. Excellent views and local walking. Access to the cottage was up a sharp corner and hill and a bit tricky to turn and park. Cottage was spacious and owner lives next door if any problems. Decor dated and lounge quite chilly despite heating. Creeky floorboards and draughty. No welcoming touches such as hand soap and milk/tea bags for arrival.
