“We really enjoyed our stay at the old Pump Cottage.”

The host very generously offered us a free night stay so that we could travel to the cottage the day before a storm was forecast in the area. We took up on the offer and are very grateful. The cottage is ideally located for visiting lots of beautiful market towns in the area. We found Ross on Wye and the surrounding areas very dog friendly which was great news for our Labrador. The cottage itself is very warm and cosy with a comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. We would definitely recommend.

“A tastefully decorated cottage with a huge amount of character which was really well equipped and provided us with the perfect escape from our chaotic lives.”

We spotted squirrels in the garden and the birdsong was tremendous. Such a wonderfully pleasant little retreat which has a fab location and great hosts in Sarah and Chris.

“Pump Cottage is cozy and quaint.”

It is ideally situated for exploring the local area. Walk into Ross or along the river. Jump on the bus to Hereford or Gloucester. Or walk round the Forest of Dean. Don't forget Wales.

- Murray, October 2024

Pat May 2024

“I love this cottage; the garden is enclosed & full of bird song all day long.”

It's so close to the river, which is good for me as I do not drive but could easily walk there. Bus stop round the corner, to get to Ross (which is walkable anyway!) or Hereford or Monmouth. Local people very friendly. the cottage is comfortable & well-equipped, & Sarah is good at communicating & very helpful. What more can I say?

- Pat, May 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review. And a huge thank you for Leaving the cottage spotlessly clean. Really hope you return next year! Sarah x Property Owner

“Gorgeous property in an excellent location”

- Jo, March 2024
Kim February 2024

“Great comms from Sarah the host before arriving, emails and texts with info and even asking for any dietary requirements for our welcome pack which was a lovely selection of goodies.”

Apart from our clothes and food/ drinks the cottage had everything needed, a real home from home feel too. It’s a good base to go out exploring the local area, tourist spots, Forest of Dean and we went to Hereford city, only took around half an hours drive. The White Lion is a two minute walk and I’d recommend to go there. Ross is a fifteen minute walk away. *Contrary to a previous post I’d read and the photos on here, there is a banister on the wall now to help with the internal stairs. Thanks again to Sarah for a lovely stay.

- Kim, February 2024

Thank you For your lovely comments. I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay despite the weather! We would welcome you back anytime. Sarah Property Owner

“A very beautiful cottage in a very lovely area.”

Thankyou Sarah for the wonderful surprises in the fridge and the wine so thoughtful, Ghillie also enjoyed his dog treats, comfy bed and towel. The pump house is spotless, warm and comfortable, no problems with parking in the allocated place.Super enclosed gardens for dog security and a lovely Wisteria growing across the front of the house. We had a great week and the White Lion just down the road, also the Hope and Anchor round at Ross on Wye both venues with riverside views and tasty food. For Ghillie our Cockapoo the nearby walks, the people he met and the time he spent in the Pump House back garden was everything a dog could want on holiday with his pets! ( Owners ). Would highly recommend the Pump House to anyone! Sarah is an amazing host with a text before our arrival with clear instructions and even questions about any dietary requirements. Also follow up texts during our stay to ensure everything was OKAY. Which of course it was. The Pump House is credit to a caring owner, Thank you so much. Anne, John & Ghillie

“A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location, tucked away down a private lane close to everything you need for a perfect holiday - just a 5 minute walk along the road and you can drop down to walk along the River Wye, 2 minutes walk across the road to a lovely pub with views over the river serving great food, quarter of an hour walk and you're in the centre of Ross on Wye, all from your doorstep.”

Lovely walks in the Forrest of Dean just a 10 minute drive away. Sarah could not have been a better host, great communication via text. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped, completely sealed gardens which was perfect for little dogs and the most fabulous welcome gifts. The private parking spot was absolutely fine at the end of the lane, literally next door. Thank you Sarah, we will be back.

- Joanne, June 2023

Joanna January 2023

“Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean, well equipped, generous welcome pack for us, including fresh bread and butter , and for the dog.”

Comfortable sofa and bed. Temporary heating problem quickly sorted by hands on landlords. (Thank you). Warm and cosy and quiet. Take a torch if you want to read in bed, lighting is romantic! Garden is secure to let dog out into - always more relaxing if lead and shoes not needed for every widdle! Good off-lead walk on the water meadows by the castle just behind the Pump House. Local dog walks from Ross booklet very useful, worth extending walk 7 to the cider farm! Hose near front door to wash off muddy paws, they even provided a dog towel. Handy Budgen’s store at petrol station over the road. Ross was interesting to walk around and explore.

- Joanna, January 2023

Thank you very much for feedback, I'm very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kindest regards Sarah Property Owner

David October 2022

“We absolutely loved our stay at Old Pump Cottage!”

The directions and instructions in the email were spot on and the cottage is beautifully presented throughout... the welcome cake was a lovely touch and perfect for kicking off our stay. Thank you! The enclosed gardens are ideal for dogs and we certainly made good use of the hose to clean up our pup after a few muddy walks! Everything we could have wanted had been thought of. During our stay we sampled a couple of the local walks and local pubs, and thoroughly enjoyed all our adventures. The owner was lovely and we would certainly love to come back. It was a real hit with us and a big 'paws up' from Winnie!

“We had a fabulous stay at the Old Pump Cottage!”

It really is one of the most favourite cottages we have stayed in. It had everything we needed and the owners responded rather quickly if we had any questions. The welcome pack was absolutely amazing, and there was even a Valentine’s Day balloon, and a rose for the occasion. Our border collie loved the dog treats, and the use of the dog blanket and bed. The information pack was filled with great info about the cottage, the village, and surrounding areas. The local pub had great food and really nice staff, and it was a lovely walk over the bridge, and into Ross on Wye. As previous people have already said, we cannot wait to go back!!

The property

Nestled in the quaint village of Wilton, within easy reach of the bustling town of Ross-on-Wye is this charming, fronted apex property, Old Pump Cottage.

This sweet, one-bedroom property is idyllically settled near excellent amenities and is the perfect hideaway for a romantic getaway to the countryside.

Drive up the single lane, dotted with terraced cottages and find a roadside parking space to move your luggage inside with ease.

Enter through the metal gate and admire the lovely front lawn before stepping inside the welcoming abode.

Entering the property, discover the little lobby where you can hang your coats and store your walking boots away from the main rooms.

Be greeted by a stunning, open-plan living space, boasting characterful beamed ceilings, a red, electric stove and stylish rugs for a homely look.

Step over to the contemporary kitchen, featuring an exposed stone wall and duck-egg cupboards housing fantastic facilities to assist with your self-catering experience.

There is an oak breakfast bar as well as a chic dining area for two to enjoy candle-lit meals, where you can uncork a bottle of wine and toast to a wonderful getaway.

Curl up on the corner sofa in the sitting area, beautifully lit with natural light from the patio doors, where you can unwind in front of the large TV or relish a compelling novel.

Admire the sunset in the rear garden, here you can relax on the outdoor seating and your canine companion can stretch their legs around the enclosed lawn.

As the sky grows dark, retreat inside and climb upstairs to indulge in warming bubble-bath in the free-standing bath and you can leave your towel on the heated rail to wrap up in afterwards.

Get your rest ahead of another adventurous day in the delightful double bedroom with olive green feature walls, exposed beams and tasteful furniture.

In the morning, prepare for the day ahead in the walk-in shower for a refreshing rinse before enjoying a steaming cup of coffee at the breakfast bar.

The River Wye is just paces away from the cottage for a tranquil stroll or get better acquainted with your surroundings and venture to the local pub for a home-cooked meal with your other half.

Nearby is the best-preserved castle in England, Goodrich Castle, offering panoramic views of the rolling countryside and Thomas Blake Memorial Garden, which offers a pretty place to wander as well as a café for some lunch.
