“Point Cottage is the perfect dog friendly cottage for us!”

Situated right on a bridle way with beautiful views and lovely walks all around, this cosy cottage has everything required for a peaceful break. Our dogs absolutely loved the enclosed garden and countryside. The central heating is excellent if needed. Sitting at the picnic table enjoying a coffee in the morning sunshine listening to the birds and tractors was heaven. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us.

“Absolutely loved the cottage and the dogs loved the secure garden.”

I really think a shower mat would be advisable as the water is lovely and soft but the bath is really slippery. Also a pint of milk would be helpful as if people are having a tesco delivery like we did our shop was early evening and we would have loved a cuppa when we arrived at 3pm.

“Cottage was lovely, very homely, warm, clean and tidy, set in a tranquil area, garden was huge and well maintained.”

The owner was on hand to answer any questions and was very helpful and accommodating. Had everything one could wish for in a holiday home. Only negative from us is that the cottage sits next to a public footpath/bridal way which was not mentioned in the details, therefore lots of people walking past etc, we found this intrusive as we couldn’t sit in the garden without someone walking by on a daily basis, a fence could be erected around the low wall of the cottage for extra privacy. One family decided to sit on the wall to have their lunch!!

- Gale, July 2024
Penelope July 2024

“We didn’t want to leave this beautiful holiday haven!”

It is just a perfect location for total peace and quiet and absolutely ideal for dog owners. What more could you want but being situated on a bridleway plus a secure garden. Despite the rest of the country suffering with ‘summer rain’, we only had one shower when in Hay on Wye (well worth a visit). We visited Moccas Park Nature Trail - a great walking find, plus Sugwas Pool, Credenhill Country Park, Hergest Ridge (breathtaking) and the beautiful Hergest Croft, Brobury plus the Weir Gardens. We recommend Timothy and Birch at Bridge Sollers for wonderful cakes plus lunches. So many dog friendly places and so we will be booking again and looking forward to next year. We loved hearing the birds just outside the cottage which is well equipped and very cosy! Thank you!

“Point Cottage is a small, quaint cottage.”

It is well furnished and has all the items required for a weeks stay. The beds are comfortable and the property is clean. Two pluses for us are the large self contained garden ideal for our two dogs to run around and sit out, the other is the very large shed which was ideal for our bikes, bike carrier ad walking boots. There are plenty of places to visit and walk. The local pub the Yew Tree is fantastic, serves good beers and really nice food.

Mrs Margaret Turner October 2023

“The cottage was very comfortable.”

Warm, good Wi-Fi lovely newish settee and a great garden for Nero. The draw back being the stairs steep with a tight narrow turn at the top. The cottage is down a few miles of narrow country lanes and unfortunately these were flooded at the time of our arrival. A warning would have been nice as we were travelling from a drier location. The photos seem to be old and the living room is really much nicer now. Also add photos of bathroom and bedroom to enhance the place. The flies were back but spray seemed to sort them out. We would not return because we are getting old and creaky but would recommend it as a good place to stay. Lots of interesting places to visit too.

- Mrs Margaret Turner, October 2023
Timothy September 2023

“Very comfortable and quiet cottage with the best settee we’ve ever had in a holiday cottage.”

Well equipped, comfortable bed and warm. If you wanted to get picky well a bigger TV maybe? Also no freezer compartment in the ‘fridge…. Minor details though. Would be great in winter, very cosy.

- Timothy, September 2023
Jill September 2023

“Lovely, cozy cottage.”

Comfortable beds! Best sofa for lounging :-)

“Really enjoyed our stay, great walks with the hound nearby.”

Cracking local pub The Yew Tree with friendly staff and locals. What more do you need ?

- David, September 2023
Bryan August 2023

“Fabulous stay.”

The entire house was warm and welcoming and everything that was required was available. The space for the dogs was brilliant and the peace and quiet was amazing. We enjoyed the stay greatly. Handy for National Trust properties and lots of outdoors experiences. Thank you

- Bryan, August 2023
Deborah July 2023

“Point Cottage with it's flagstone floors was ideal for us along with our 2 dogs, who enjoyed the large enclosed garden.”

It is comfortable and well equipped. The large shed was a bonus for storing fishing tackle. It's well positioned for walking, fishing and drives to many interesting places. The nearby Yew Tree Inn served good food and drink for when we didn't feeling like eating in.

- Deborah, July 2023

Tracey April 2023

“We had a lovely stay.”

Garden was perfect for our two energetic dogs - very secure. We made use of the fire which was very effective and supply of logs was unexpected and generous. Local pub was great and bed was very comfortable!

- Tracey, April 2023
Alan October 2022

“Excellent, lovely cottage, well furnished.”

Well fenced large garden. There is a good safe footpath on the doorstep if you enjoy walking. Certainly hoping to go back again one day

- Alan, October 2022
Matt September 2022

“Wonderful old cottage, with great walks on the doorstep and a pub down the road.”

What more could we want. Will definitely be staying there again in the future.

- Matt, September 2022
Michael September 2022

“Absolutely perfect location for our needs.”

Perfect for relaxing cycle rides. Perfect for short or medium dog walks. Perfect for peace and quiet Very relaxing, and exactly what we were hoping for.

- Michael, September 2022
Richard August 2022

“A fabulous week, the cottage is very well located for all the local sightseeing spots be they in England or Wales.”

The cottage was beautiful, very quiet as promised and thankfully wonderfully cool during the heatwave. The holiday and accommodation met all our expectations and we were particularly pleased with how escape proof the grounds are as we have a houdini of a poodle! Would highly recommend.

- Richard, August 2022
Jane July 2022

“The cottage was beautiful with a wonderful garden.”

The local pub is a short stroll and had amazing food and was dog friendly. We had a great break.

- Jane, July 2022
Sue June 2022

“Point Cottage is a lovely place to stay if you’re visiting Herefordshire.”

The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need. Very comfy beds. Private and secure garden which we made the most of. Short drive into Hereford, the cathedral is worth a visit.

- Sue, June 2022
Helen June 2022

“Lovely little house.”

Reasonably well equipped in the kitchen, shower ok but not very powerful. Beds very comfortable. TV did not always work which was a bit frustrating and it was small. This was a shame as we like to watch TV in the morning before going out and when back in the evening. The garden was great - big and secure for our dogs.

- Helen, June 2022
Graham May 2022

“Lovely historic cottage.”

Great location, ideal for exploring Brecon Beacons and border area. Clean and well appointed. Good for dogs as garden enclosed and situated alongside a very quiet bridalway.

- Graham, May 2022
Donna April 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Point Cottage.”

Cottage was lovely and comfy and just what we needed to switch off and relax. Bridleway way just outside was perfect for walking dog and leisurely stroll.

- Donna, April 2022
David October 2021

“Beautiful cottage in perfect location Welcoming pub a short walk away, great walks nearby.”

Very dog friendly with bridleway right outside. Can’t fault it at all!!

- David, October 2021
Tony October 2021

“It was a bit tight for space .”

Kitchen twin room for 3 adults . There seem to be a problem with flys as if something was dead in there somewhere. Also smoke alarm was in need of a battery. We had look for the freezer in out building. Yew tree was very nice.

- Tony, October 2021
Mike October 2021

“Lovely old cottage, fitted out to a high standard & very comfortable.”

Country lanes great for dog walking. Friendly nearby local pub. This is a useful base for exploring Herefordshire, but you could alternatively spend your holiday locally, reading and walking. We’d recommend Point Cottage.

- Mike, October 2021
Gavin July 2021

“A very high standard of cottage, more spacious than it looked on the website and with a large garden.”

- Gavin, July 2021
Shiv April 2021

“Clean compact and lovely isolated country cottage where the sounds of nature pervade the atmosphere would definitely go back.”

Very helpful landlord. Secure garden and dog friendly.

- Shiv, April 2021
Christine December 2020

“A lovely cottage, away from the chaos , really quiet, but not too far to go , we enjoyed our stay, its down some narrow lanes and away from the village, we went in December, and there was a Christmas tree set up by the lovely fireplace with a woodburner, which we used, and felt very cosy.”

.

- Christine, December 2020
Fiona September 2020

“This is a cosy cottage, ideal for couples or a small family.”

It is great for dog owners as there is direct access to a quiet bridleway right outside. It is a good base for touring Herefordshire, the Welsh borders, Wye Valley and Malvern Hills. It is a bit remote, being in a village with nothing but houses and one pub, but the pub is only a 5 minute walk away and is friendly, serving good pub grub and local beers and ciders.

- Fiona, September 2020
Paul September 2020

“Lovely location, kitchen too small for two couples but would be OK for family with young children, only one w.”

C. is a minus. Having only 13.5 tog duvets meant we were either too hot with duvet or too cold with no duvet. No kitchen scales available in the house. We had originally booked this for the Hay festival week but then Covid happened so we were told that we could not go but that we could rebook another date without charge (very generous, I don't think) We were asked to pick another available date from the online calender as getting our money back wasn't an option, there was availability for 11th September and as it was advertised as £150 cheaper than the peak priced week that had been cancelled we booked it but we're not given a £150 refund. I'll bet that if we had booked a more expensive week we would have been charged the extra. We won't be booking with Sykes again, a dreadful experience. Cottage OK, Sykes abysmal.

- Paul, September 2020
Barry September 2019

“It was a nice location good walks for the dogs and the cottage was stocked with equipments etc BUT we found the sofa had disengaged itself we did manage to slide it back together but it was still uncomfortable.”

We found the stair case difficult two of us had knee problems and one had sight problems so with the bathroom being down stairs it was difficult on the bends of the stairs near the top you could not put your full foot down and I am only size 6 .so it made life very difficult at night. Please note I thought there was a bedroom down stairs but if it was supposed to be the sofa then we would have had another problem. So unfortunately this was not suitable to us and we would not go again. The surroundings of the cottage was fantastic and we enjoyed our visits to the local pub

- Barry, September 2019
Jean August 2019

“The cottage was clean and well equipped, and the garden was really well enclosed for the dogs, with a good walk for them along the bridleway alongside.”

However, the sofa in the living room was extremely dirty, and needed a good clean. It was also in need of re-upholstering and extremely difficult to get up from, after a long period of sitting. We are not in the prime of our youth, but don't normally have this trouble anywhere else. As it was a very warm week, necessitating doors and windows to be left open, flies were a really big problem, and we left a note in the book for the owners, recommending a fly spray that we ourselves use, which is sprayed onto window frames and ledges, which kills flies almost instantly. The stairs are also very hard to cope with, with an extremely narrow angled turn at the top. Definitely not recommended for the elderly or for young children!

- Jean, August 2019
Sandra June 2019

“The cottage was plagued with flies which previous guests had experienced.”

There was a tin of fly spray but the owners need to take further measures. There were two mugs in the cupboard that were filthy. The two white chopping boards were disgusting and the china was a miss match. There were no baking trays or casserole dishes in which to cook. The bathroom and bedroom were clean. However I felt for a two night stay it was far from a pleasant experience. The owners need to up their game and look at the basics for the cottage. There was tea and coffee but no milk to welcome us. On a positive note the situation is beautiful and ideal for pet owners.

- Sandra, June 2019
Linda May 2019

“The cottage was charming, it was in a rural setting by the side of a quiet road.”

The owners were helpful and welcoming. The village itself was quiet and pretty. When we booked, the cottage was marketed for six people.There were five of us in the cottage, all adults. The cottage was a little in the small side for five but we didn't mind that as we used it as a base for the Hay Festival and for visiting Herefordshire. It was cosy and sufficiently equipped for our needs.

- Linda, May 2019
Michael March 2019

“We enjoyed our time in the cottage and surrounding area The main downside was ...”

We enjoyed our time in the cottage and surrounding area The main downside was the downstairs bathroom during the night as my wife has to have the need for frequent use The wooden staircase did not help But in spite of that very nice and comfortable

- Michael, March 2019
Tony March 2019

“The cottage was full of character and very well equipped.”

The enclosed garden was ideal for playing with our dog. The Yew Tree Inn is a few minutes walk away and is a proper country pub with friendly staff and locals, serving excellent home cooked food, dogs welcome.

- Tony, March 2019
Joanne December 2018

“Lovely quiet spot, very peaceful.”

Perfect for a couple or a young family. The cottage is beautifully equipped and furnished.

- Joanne, December 2018
Alison November 2018

“A really pretty, homely cottage.”

When we arrived the heating had been put on for us.....so was already toasty warm. In fact we didn’t need the wood burner, although it had been made up in readiness, and was ready to go! There was milk in the fridge, coffee, tea, sugar etc. Plenty of pots and pans. Fresh linen. Couldn’t fault anything! Thank you!

- Alison, November 2018
Barbara September 2018

“Point cottage is a quaint property in a good location in Preston on Wye, Herefordshire.”

There is a dog friendly pub within a few minutes walk and there is a Post Office and shop within 4 miles. The area is lovely and there is lots to do within a 20 mile radius.There is a bridleway on the doorstep which is ideal for an early morning dog walk. The Point is well appointed and has a kitchen with enough equipment to make substantial meals. The large bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage for clothes. We were only two adults and a large dog so the cottage was plenty big enough for us - six would be a squeeze, but possible if not a bit cosy! The furnishings are tastful, the cottage is very clean, oodles of hot water and the garden is large enough for dogs/children to run around. The owners kindly left us some milk for our 1st cuppa and there was kitchen rolls, washing up liquid, cling film, foil and toilet rolls supplied, so I needn’t have taken our own! The only negatives of the cottage is the steep stairs (the toilet and bathroom are down stairs - going to the loo in the night took concentration!) and hard stone floors which is all part and parcel of a very old property. I shall pack my slippers for next time!

- Barbara, September 2018
Vanessa July 2018

“The cottage is in a wonderful location, it's quiet and very peaceful.”

The carefully enclosed garden was great for our dogs, giving them ample space to play. The cottage itself however, did not live up to the description given on Sykes website. It is marketed as being able to accommodate six, but cramming six people into that cottage would be impossible. According to the description, the sofa can be converted into a bed sufficiently large for two people to sleep on, that along with the two upstairs bedrooms qualifies it to sleep six. The ancient, grubby sofa was extremely uncomfortable to sit on and could never provide a satisfactory bed for two. Even more evidence came in the form of the dining suite. - are meals to be taken in relays so that six people can use the four chairs? The dissatisfaction we felt in regard to Point Cottage was due to the unrealistic description presented on the website. Please could you ensure that descriptions accurately reflect the facts of the accommodation. In this case the cottage sleeps four and the standard of the furnishings and facilities definitely do not merit the four tick rating it has. It does not approach luxury as is suggested, but provides adequate accommodation.

- Vanessa, July 2018
Graham June 2018

“Enjoyed our stay at Point Cottage.”

Very quaint old cottage but nicely looked after with what appeared to be a relatively new (but small) kitchen. Stairs are quite steep and narrow, and bathroom is downstairs so a little tricky in the middle of the night! Garden an absolute joy, our 2 dogs enjoyed their time running about and we were happy knowing it was secure. Would recommend staying here for peace and quiet.

- Graham, June 2018
Hester May 2018

“It's a stunning ancient cottage with brilliant fixtures and unexpected extras and refurbished wonderfully.”

Great garden for the kids to play in, wonderful footpaths around the corner. We really loved it and would return. The only thing we weren't sure about is whether we should be drinking the water that's gone through a water softener, but we got bottled water for that.

- Hester, May 2018
Sylvia May 2018

“The cottage very clean and in a brilliant location.”

Ideal for our 2 dogs. Very peaceful. Plenty of walks without using the car The Yew tree pub was very friendly and offered excellent food. We are hoping to visit again later in the year.

- Sylvia, May 2018
J April 2018

“Very disappointed with this cottage.”

We arrived on a bright sunny afternoon and were met at the back door with a very unpleasant smell of diesel oil which we traced to the cabinet beside the door and the smell entered the cottage as we left the door open to allow some light into the narrow kitchen. We found the interior of the cottage to be very dark unlike the photos on the website and needed the lights to be on. The L shaped sofa bed in the sitting area looked very grubby and was uncomfortable to sit on as it is so worn and soft. The room also has a very small television. The photo on the website is inaccurate and there is now a log burner in the empty chimney space. The wooden stairs to the bedrooms are steep with an acute turn at the top where the treads become vary narrow at one side and although a hand rail is provided, extreme care needs to be taken when descending. Reference to this should be included in the cottage description or a photo included as these may not suit everyone. The ground floor bathroom is very basic but looks ok. There should also be photos of the two bedrooms online, the larger of which is very dark and uninviting. The twin room that we required was not prepared for us. The room is very small with two beds which were unmade with no bed linen available.The sagging mattresses on both beds are poor quality and well past their best and were covered with worn out mattress protectors with a folded duvet on each. There is no evidence of the "quality furnishings" referred to in the description on the online listing. We phoned Sykes to advise them that we had made the decision not stay in this cottage and the agent tried to contact the owner on our behalf both by phone and email but subsequently told us that she had been unable to do so until after the weekend. The response from the cottage owner that Sykes eventually passed on to us was very dismissive of our complaint and which we are dissatisfied with. The cottage has undoubtedly been renovated from a smaller building and is in a lovely part of Herefordshire. The addition of a small field at the back is ideal for dog owners and children but the actual accommodation, in our opinion, is certainly not 4 star standard and our experience left us very disappointed.

- J, April 2018
Elizabeth April 2018

“I had to phone three times before I got through to the person with details re key collection the day before we left.”

Previously I left my contact details but they didn't get back to me. This cottage is ok but very dark. Facilities were adequate, just. So it was ok, but I wouldn't have wanted to be there more than three nights.

- Elizabeth, April 2018
John March 2018

“Point Cottage is a lovely little place for a quiet getaway.”

With plenty of walks amongst beautiful countryside and lots of history in the area. It's a perfect retreat.

- John, March 2018

Ideally situated for visits to Hereford, Hay on Wye, Ross on Wye and Brecon.

It was very cosy and met all of our needs.

However, there was plenty of secure space in cottage grounds which was excellent

Tracy April 2016

“The cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped, with good quality bedding, towels etc.”

The location and seclusion of the property was the reason we chose this Cottage.

- Tracy, April 2016
Debbie April 2016

“We spent a very relaxing, peaceful week at Point Cottage.”

The property stands alone along a country lane but is only 1/4 mile from Preston on Wye village. The bridle path alongside the cottage is excellent for dog walking as the only vehicles you might come across is the odd tractor in the surrounding fields. The cottage has a large garden, mainly grass, and is ideal for children and dogs. The large shed is really useful and ideal for wet coats and muddy boots after a day's walking.

- Debbie, April 2016
Lisa January 2016

“A fantastic cottage, we had a great weekend.”

Would stay again.

- Lisa, January 2016

- Freddy, May 2015
Diana January 2015

“The cottage was cosy for a winter break, it had good heating, hot water and a log burner that worked well with plenty of fuel.”

It was close to a good pub, with walking for the dogs outside the door. It's a quaint place to stay in a very peaceful and beautiful part of Herefordshire.

- Diana, January 2015

- Heather, June 2014
Peter May 2014

The out building was a welcome bonus as it allowed for the car to be stored and provided extra storage.

- Peter, May 2014
Kate May 2014

“We all had a very enjoyable holiday at Point Cottage.”

The cottage was very clean and we found everything we needed, with the bridal path just outside the door it was wonderful.

- Kate, May 2014
Maria March 2014

“The cottage is very warm and cosy.”

It was really well appointed with everything we could need and beautifully decorated. The garden is a great size and enclosed which meant that it was great for our greyhounds to run around in. The location is superb, being surrounded by fantastic countryside, the beautiful Wye Valley, magnificent Black Mountains and historic places.

- Maria, March 2014
Andrew November 2013

- Mark, November 2013

“Lovely home from home cottage.”

Great location, quiet and peaceful setting, but not too far away from visitor attractions. Liked the maps and tourist leaflets left in the cottage for ideas of things to do and places to visit.

Steven November 2013

“Cottage was comfy, warm and cosy and very pet friendly.”

- Steven, November 2013

Secluded and giving you the feeling of away from it all. Lovely log fire to light on an evening. The property is within 30 minutes drive of many attractions.

- Simon, October 2013
Derek August 2013

“Point Cottage was perfect for a quiet peaceful holiday.”

Cosy, comfortable and clean. The garden was a good size and secure. Ideally situated next to the bridle way, we had a choice of many local and beautiful walks using the public footpaths in the area. If you are looking for a holiday where you hardly see a sole, yet the local pub is only 10 minutes walk away, then this is it!

- Derek, August 2013
Rebecca August 2013

“The cottage was a beautiful, cosy character cottage, located in a lovely rural area with plenty of walks and only a short drive from Hereford and plenty of pubs and restaurants.”

- Rebecca, August 2013
Jacqueline August 2013

“The general welcoming feeling of the cottage; it was like a home from home, with pretty much everything there that we needed, and it was very comfortable.”

We liked the fact that it was a detached property with its own enclosed garden; it made it very peaceful.

- Jacqueline, August 2013
Felicity August 2013

“Fantastic location with everything you needed.”

The large garden was excellent for the dogs.

- Felicity, August 2013
Paul June 2013

“The cottage is nicely isolated and near a footpath that was good for walking the two small dogs we had taken with us.”

It was very well equipped and the owner had obviously taken a lot of care in fitting the cottage out. As a family we were pleased and thank you.

- Paul, June 2013

Warm and cosy. We had a wonderful time. The cottage is so peaceful. Fantastic!

- Timothy, February 2013
Martin February 2013

“The position of the cottage being so remote and having an enclosed garden was great for dogs.”

The cottage was warm, well appointed and cosy. The outbuilding was great for storing muddy boots and having a hose to clean the dog was a bonus. Also the use of the washing machine was a great help in dealing with wet muddy walking clothes. A lovely property that I would highly recommend.

- Martin, February 2013
Ann October 2012

“Cosy, comfortable, clean cottage.”

Maps, tourist info, cleaning equipment, washing up liquid, tea towels provided. Rural location. Plenty of good dog walks on doorstep. Near to places of interest. The owner was very helpful and approachable. Loved the wood burner.
