"Everything we needed was provided, every detail thought about."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Milking Parlour and plan to return. The community Pub is a 2 minute walk away and serves reasonably priced, delicious meals. Also the shop, situated in the church, stocks a wide variety of items.

"We had a delightful stay."
The Milking Parlour was warm, comfortable in a cold week, and equipped for all our needs. It is well located for visiting many nearby attractions, even by bike.
The owners made sure our bikes were securely stored and were quietly helpful in a variety of ways.

"The Milking Parlour was even better than the photos indicated and we loved using the cottage as a base."
It’s perfect for two and the walk in shower was an added bonus as my husband has mobility issues. A great tip from someone else who stayed here was to take slippers as most floors don’t have carpets plus it keeps the floors clean.
There isn’t anything to like really (maybe a little more room to prepare food? A butchers block on wheels? but that’s being picky…).
Loved everything provided including the wine and home made jam, thanks so much.
Have told everyone about this great place. Loved the community pub and shop too.

"A bit of a Tardis, compact but surprisingly spacious inside for a couple."
Comfortably furnished to a high standard we spent a very pleasant week there in September. It is ideally placed to tour Herefordshire and Shropshire and the numerous National Trust properties there. Yarpole itself is a small, friendly community with the advantage of a small community store for last minute essentials and associated cafe that had excellent cakes. The local pub, just over the road, was unfortunately closed during our stay due to illness so we couldn't try that out. The host was perfect, he gave us a quick tour on our arrival and was helpful when we had a small issue (of our own making).
There is limited outside space, which didn't worry us, the parking is directly outside the cottage and helped me practice my parallel parking, but did easily take my fairly large SUV. We would definitely stay there again if visiting in the area.

"Great location in a vibrant village."
The accommodation was really comfortable so we were able to settle in very quickly. The owners were very thoughtful and had left us a gift of wine and chocolates. The coffee machine had coffee available to drink. The utensils and crockery were very good. The bedding and towels were excellent quality. The WiFi and TV all worked really well. The village shop and gallery cafe were brilliant and we were able to shop everyday there except Sunday. The cafe was outstanding for the menu but also the friendliness of the locals and voluntary staff. The church itself with its bell tower and the cemetery across the road is well worth a visit. We were able to walk to Croft Castle for a visit. We spent a very pleasant evening in The Bell for a meal and to listen to the folk musicians.
