    “We had a 2 night stay at the property for a family get together.”

    We all loved the house, which is very attractive and well equipped with a pretty garden and terrace. The bedrooms are all very spacious and the beds comfortable. There were 10 of us so we managed well with 3 bathrooms - that might have been more difficult had there been more people (3 others were unable to come due to illness). A separate downstairs loo would be a great addition to the property. The kitchen dining area is particularly well set up for a large group. The weather was not kind, but ...

    We all loved the house, which is very attractive and well equipped with a pretty garden and terrace. The bedrooms are all very spacious and the beds comfortable. There were 10 of us so we managed well with 3 bathrooms - that might have been more difficult had there been more people (3 others were unable to come due to illness). A separate downstairs loo would be a great addition to the property. The kitchen dining area is particularly well set up for a large group. The weather was not kind, but we managed to bbque on Saturday night and to sit outside for drinks, which was lovely. We had our 89 year old father with us and he found the steps up to the house and up to the terrace very difficult as there are no hand rails anywhere. And there are a couple of drops in the garden - off the terrace and off the top grass area - which are not fenced in any way and which would have been very tricky had our 2 year old grandson been with us as expected. However, all in all, we had a very enjoyable stay and would consider renting the house again if returning to the area.

Outside the large garden makes a great place to enjoy family games, let the kids let off steam or just relax and enjoy a BBQ or alfresco dining on a summers evening.

There are many lovely walks and cycle routes from the doorstep of the cottage or take a stroll into the village and enjoy a meal at one of the many pubs.

About the location

LYDBROOK

Ross-on-Wye 7 miles; Symonds Yat 7 miles; Monmouth 9 miles.

The lovely village of Lydbrook is situated between the Wye Valley and The Royal Forest of Dean, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nestling amidst the village’s picturesque houses are the delightful tea rooms, fish and chip shop, village store, Post Office and a number of pubs with restaurants. Close by is the famous Goodrich Castle, a perfect example of a 12th century "Marcher Castle", while just 7 miles away, overlooking a large loop in the River Wye, is the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye, in the heart of rural Herefordshire. This attractive town has timbered Tudor houses clustered around the striking 17th century Market Hall, and there are excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. Stroll along the lovely river bank, take a river cruise or view the surrounding countryside from a hot-air balloon. Enjoy trips to Symonds Yat, Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains and the Forest of Dean.
