  Parking right outside for multiple cars. Bright and airy lounge and main bedroom, dark but well stocked kitchen. Photos were accurate. Bathroom a little dated. Pubs and fish and chip shop-10 min drive away. The price paid was good value for money for school holidays, We had a lovely holiday

  Ian is a lovely farmer who stopped for a chat to ensure we had all we needed. Only suggestion I would have is for a set of plastic cups for children. Unfortunately one if our grandchildren dropped a glass. Ian was understanding and said not to worry accidents happen. Would highly recommend.

• "Had a wonderful holiday at Hill Farm Cottage."

  It has a large tiled hall with plenty of room for boots/ shoes and hooks for coats and dog leads which I don’t think was in the photos. Very comfortable and well equipped place. Dog friendly and had an enclosed garden and patio (but maybe teeny paws could squeeze out) with garden furniture and a BBQ -although we had taken our own and good weather allowed us to use it daily! Great to be able to do some washing and peg out on the line.Mr Mackie is a lovely gentleman and allowed us to let the dog run free in one of the gorgeous surrounding meadows. Great location for exploring with lots of dog friendly places around.We definitely recommend this place and would love to return .

• "We had a lovely stay at Hill Farm."

  The property was clean, well presented and in an idyllic setting. Sadly the weather wasn’t the best (although it could have been worse) and was sad to see the farm and surrounding area saturated after the excess rainfall we have all been experiencing. The cottage is set in a quiet area close to the main farm house. There was no sign of active farming activity so can only presume that the farm operations are somewhere else. We certainly weren’t disturbed at any point during our stay and would consider staying again, if we were in the area again

  We got the keys from the key safe on the wall, didn't see anybody just moved straight in. I bet this place would be a great in the summer with the patio and BBQ, you would have a view right over the fields. you have no chance of your dog getting out the garden its well fenced in. It has a nice amount of grass for your dog to go to the toilet. A days worth of logs for the log burner and every thing to light it , Great. We did bump into the farmer one day, Nice bloke.

  A quiet farm cottage located on a working farm in the quiet hills and valleys of Herefordshire with some pretty good views. The cottage was immaculate on arrival and was very well equipped and comfortable.

  We enjoyed and relaxing time (including out 14yr old dog). Only drawback is the garden isn’t enclosed, and if you had a more adventurous dog they would be able to get out at the front. We didn’t have a problem as our dog just chills out with us. On the whole I would thoroughly recommend this cottage for getting away from it all and relaxing in the countryside.

• "The upside ; lovely hot water and lots of it, central heating very efficient, with glorious views all round, comfy beds with good bedding."

  Downside ; the whole cottage needed a thorough clean. To begin with, the entrance needed a good brush to get rid of leaves and cobwebs which were all over the door frame and the tiles, this was a shame as a pleasant entrance would have made quite a difference. When we arrived we had to vacuum the lounge carpet as it obviously had not been cleaned from the last visitors. Then brushing down the walls to get rid of masses of cobwebs, these were also on the curtains, curtain poles and every nook and cranny. The cobwebs on the beams were amazing and we managed to remove quite a few. The hearth was then swept and the glass on the log burner cleaned so we could see the fire ! On looking behind the books on the window sills, we found thick cobwebs, dead flies and numerous spider corpses. The fabric covered settee was dirty and on lifting the seat cushions found food bits, dog hairs and sweet papers. We then cleaned the glass of the patio doors as they were covered in dog slobber, as was the glass on the back door. Now we get to the kitchen ! One revolting oven and baking pans that were disgusting and should have been thrown out months ago. The crockery was a mishmash of sorts and much of it was chipped. The glasses were pristine. The bathroom was fine, except for the shower hose which again was revolting.....black mould ? it was quite off putting. I have taken photographs of all the things mentioned and can send if you desire. It was such a shame about the lack of cleanliness, I know it is out in the country and they accept dogs , but that amount of cobwebs dead flies, spiders and dog hairs was not acceptable. It did not spoil our holiday , but it would have been absolutely A1 had these things been addressed in the first place. We were, to say the least , disappointed. Barbara Turner
