• "We love the house."

  It was just as we expected and wanted. Even the internet worked after a little adjustment (placing modem closer to the window). The kitchen, the shower and central heating worked perfectly. The beds are quite comfortable. We had a great time in a great cottage. Thanks.

• "A cosy and comfortable barn conversion thank goodness as the weather was so atrocious we spent more time there than we intended."

  It was most frustrating that we had no internet connection the whole time we were there, this had been reported by previous customers making iPad use impossible for local information, communication and entertainment. A weak O2 mobile phone signal was available outside.

• "Perfect little property in beautiful grounds which were very well maintained."

  Generally very well equipped but in hot weather which we were lucky enough to experience, a parasol would have been useful to provide some shade. Our friends who stayed for a couple of days found the twin beds to be a little uncomfortable but we had no issue with the double. Well placed generally for visiting Hereford, Ross on Wye, Hay on Wye and Monmouth. Would definitely stay again.

• "Superb quiet rural environment…."

  .exactly as expected. The barn was just right for us, two adults with a small dog. Lovely views and an ideal base for touring around Herefordshire and Momouthshire, Wye valley and Forest of Dean. One small issue, the lounge leather furniture isn’t the most comfortable but the new shower room is great ! We had a very memorable 3 day stay and will definitely book again!

• "Stayed for two night and kept awake all night both nights by loud barking dogs."

  Sounded like a pack of them. Very concerned for their welfare as it’s not natural for dogs to bark so excessively for such long periods of time. Beds and pillows were very uncomfortable and too soft - the single beds very also very low. Lounge settee and chairs very uncomfortable and cushions just kept sliding off. Saucepans not fit for use - the interior coating was peeling and left partials in your food. Property was advertised as one level but interior steps meant this was not the case. The setting and scenery were fabulous and a very beautiful location but could not be enjoyed for the reasons mentioned above. We went home more tired and exhausted than when we arrived. So would not recommend as a place to stay.

  Teal Barn Annex is very well located, allowing us to enjoy exploring the local area, particularly the medieval castles and the interesting towns of Monmouth and Abergavenny.

• "Hello, it was our first time staying at Teal barn (not first time staying with Sykes) and we were blown away to how beautiful your place is."

  The surroundings are wonderful to look at, walking around the lake very nice and not just cos we have a our doggo. The barn itself so comfortable everything we needed and more. The new shower room definitely added to the class of comfort. Felt like it everything was well thought out for us guests. All the beds are very comfy. Location to places perfect not to far away but you have the peacefulness at the barn to come back to. As owners you were so welcoming. If I had to have a say on what to improve, I would just ask if it would be possible to make the terrace area completely secure for visiting doggo's, just for when sitting out side or just having the patio doors open. We are lucky ours is so good but still we watched him just incase he saw a bunny

  Be aware of the 2 speed bumps on your final approach to the property as they are quite severe and not particularly noticeable. Would definitely stay here again.

• "This property is excellent, had 4 lovely nights the end of June this year, the furniture & style of the Annexe is very nice & it was certainly well equipped."

  it's on 2 levels which my mom struggled with but didn't spoil her stay there at all. The surrounding are beautiful, very quiet but you can drive to nearby towns. There was a barbecue stated which wasn't there, however when contacting the owner they had it there within the hour, couldn't fault it at all. It's certainly worth a stay here & I hope to return to this beautiful place.

• "This is a beautiful home to let the attention to detail in the home itself were fantastic."

  The surrounding area was well kept and lovely to wake up to each morning. Our only concern about the stay was the mattress on the bed. The covering has clearly worn through allowing you too feel the springs. A mattress topper would help this. Plus a text back about the bike store would have been helpful but we understood this is a working farm and they were very busy. Would highly recommend if mattress was sorted.

• "Teal Barn is a lovely place, in a gorgeous location but we were disappointed with a few things when we stayed."

  It’s a massive shame and we hate having to write this feedback because it is a beautiful place but it lacked massively on cleanliness and attention to detail. Our first issue would be the cleanliness of the place. When we first got there, we found a huge cobweb in front of the double doors that led to the outside seating area. Within the first 2 nights, my daughter had 5 spiders in her room which caused issues as she didn’t want to sleep in there then. Which, I know you can’t help spiders but when we pulled the bed out, that’s when we found more and it was dusty and looked like it just hadn’t been checked behind there. The shower head had mould on it and the pipe was mouldy also. The shower is so powerful though which was a massive good point. Loved how powerful it was. There was an awful smell that kept coming through the kitchen sink. In the main bedroom, the beam above our heads on the ceiling, you could see it was thick of dust. Again, attention to detail was missed on some things. We didn’t find the place very comfortable either. Now, this is each to their own but it just wasn’t for us. The sofas in the living room are not comfortable in our opinion. The cushions all move and slip off. The bed in the main room also wasn’t to our liking either. You could feel every single spring in the mattress, the bed itself was very noisy so every time you moved, it made a noise, springs banged and the duvet covers were noisy. We would wake up aching and the noise disturbed our 7 month old son who shared the room with us in his travel cot. The single beds in the other room were a lot better though. Mattresses on them were a lot better. Me and my partner took turns sleeping in there with my daughter because she didn’t want to sleep in there after finding all the spiders. One more thing, it’s quite noisy at night time. My daughter was freaked out by all the bangs that we could hear. I don’t know what it was but there was banging throughout the night. We won’t be coming again and it is a shame because it genuinely is a beautiful place it just wasn’t for us unfortunately. Main reasons for us not returning; we wasn’t comfortable there and there isn’t a secure place for your dogs. Although it says it’s dog friendly, it’s not at the same time because you can’t let you dog free at all. You have to take your dog out on a lead at all times. Which we saw before we booked but it was more of an issue than we thought.

  The 3 piece suite needs replacing as it keeps falling apart. The property needs a property freezer, not just a fridge ice box and it slso needs a tumble dryer. Also a ceiling mounted fan and small fan's for hot weather.

  Such a lovely property, tucked away on a farm. The beds were the comfiest we've slept in, the shower was superb, if a little tight on space, but well worth it. A abundantly well equipped kitchen. It's exactly as shown. A very tranquil location, if you want to just get away from it all and recharge. Just an absolute delight to sit on the patio, relax and breathe! We would definitely recommend to anyone.
