Wonderful stay in the farm. The farm is located perfectly - perfectly accessible from the motorway and easy to get to all local sights while being absolutely quiet and secluded. Our room was great. Carol is an exceptional cook and her breakfasts beat any 5-star hotel. Carol knows the area and gives excellent recommendations depending on how you want to spend the time. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

We stayed in the Garden Cottage for a self catering break. Great location and cottage has everything you need for a good stay. Great walks in the Wye Valley from the front door and an easy, pleasant walk into Ross on Wye. We received a warm welcome and had a good stay.

Have stayed in one of the two self catering cottages every year for the last 5 years or so. An easy stroll into Ross on Wye town. The White Lion pub by Wilton bridge is even nearer. If you like coarse fishing, then day tickets can be bought from the owner, the river only being a short walk across the field. Hereford and Monmouth are easy drives away.

If you ever get a chance to stay here. Go for it. If you don't book an advance date. One of the best stays in the five years of my life in the UK. One of the best breakfast in the same time period lol. I cannot believe the rooms the view and the beauty of this cottage. Right up to the little road leading up to this mansion. Carol is a very good host and didn't mind the four of us using the breakfast and living room for the fireplace and talking late into the night playing games and trivia. If you get the chance for the super king. Go for it!! And surprise it has an old type of chamber pot what

Fantastic place to stay. Truly made to feel at home, homemade cake a tea when we arrived. Only 15 mins walk into the town. Best breakfast and homemade jam to buy too. Highly recommend.

Lovely place , great breakfasts and we were made very welcome. Big spacious room - shame someone was already booked into the larger room with the four poster bed. Traditionally furnished and has amazing views. I was a bit put off initially by the fact that it is over the dual carriage to walk in Ross on Wye - but we did it easily and it wasn't dangerous crossing the dual carriage way ( think the pedestrian lights going up will help that too )
