The welcome pack on arrival was extremely welcome. The accommodation was comfortable and one of the cleanest we have stayed in. Beautiful views from the conservatory and a great place to relax. The private patio garden was perfect for our small dog. Will hopefully return to enjoy the tranquility another time.

"Another lovely stay at Calcott Annexe."
The cottage is comfortable and Connie is a very friendly and attentive host. The welcome pack is very generous. Everything you would need is provided and the surroundings are beautiful. The cottage is a great base to explore the Wye Valley and south west Wales being only a couple of miles from the Welsh border. Definitely a place we would return to if we chose to visit the area again.

The facilities at Calcott were very good especially the welcome pack provided by Connie (our host). lots of information about local facilities available near to Whitchuch and Connie's knowledge of when to go to various places is second to none. Overall, a very enjoyable visit.

It is ideally placed to visit The Forest of Dean and the market towns of Ross, Monmouth and Abergavenny.

Everything you could need is provided and I would have no hesitation in returning here.

"The cottage was exactly as expected."
The host (Connie) was extremely helpful and welcoming. She could not do enough for us and helped make our stay so much more enjoyable. Even to the point of making sure that we had enough information about local events that we could go to. We always ask the question 'would we go back again ' and in this case, the answer was a resounding YES.

"Lovely property, clean warm and comfortable."
Very warm welcome from Connie, the owner and lovely thought of a provisiob of milk tea coffee butter bread and scones, to keep you going until you shopped. The conservatory is lovely and means in a one bed house there's loads of space and options of where to sit. The enclosed patio area was ideal for our dog, and meant we could relax and just let him roam around the house and patio to his hearts content
-
"No everything was fine"
-
"The only directions given were "Follow your satnav"."
Not much help for those of us who do not have one! Have never had that experience with you before and hope not to have it again.
Thank your for completing our feedback. I have taken your advice regarding the directions to Calcott and have amended these to ask all my guests to call me prior to departure to supply with the directions. Property Owner

-
"The owner Connie made our stay fantastic."
The annexe was perfect for our needs and is in the perfect place for all that we wanted to do. It is so close such beautiful places that we had not ventured towards before. Absolutely recommend the area and the annexe as a base.
-
"The owner was very welcoming and helpful , it gave an air of assurance in these stressful "getting back to normal" times."
The cottage is cosy and comfortable in a beautiful location, with lovely views over a valley. We spent happy times over a coffee watching the amazing bird life (and saw birds of prey high up over the hills). The weather wasn't good to us during our stay but the accommodation was a welcoming place to come back to. We agree with a previous reviewer's comments , that if you are used to a firmer mattress , you notice a difference, but that is a minor point. Overall a lovely , welcoming place to retreat to for a break and an excellent base for visiting and exploring the surrounding area.
-
"Location is good base for exploring, easy access to Wye valley, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire etc."
Nice view up the hill, spotted deer, Buzzards, Kites etc. Only reason to mark comfort down is being portly I like a hardish mattress but fully understand everyones tastes on that is different.
-
"Connie was fab made us very welcome."
Great location to get around.there was two pet dogs they were adorable.we will be going again great time and place.
-
"Calcott annexe is a lovely comfortable cottage with lovely views."
Connie the owner is very helpful. This is a great base for exploring beautiful old market towns and countryside
-
"Beautiful little cottage, conveniently situated for the Forest of Dean but also the Black Mountains in Wales."
Tintern Abbey is a must and only about 25 minute drive. Connie has thought of everything in the cottage and is a lovely host. Thank you for a most wonderful week of walking and site seeing. Will definitely be back.
-
"We booked just 2 days before arrival so had no real chance to investigate the area."
Calcott annexe is in a brilliant location accessing beautiful quaint places to visit with great pub food just 8 mins and up to half an hour drive away. Our favorite had to be symonds yat 8min drive or 35min walk. Calcott annexe itself was really homely, very clean and great views and for 2 people to escape perfect. Connie is lovely and whilst being next door we had total privacy, but was always on hand and quick to respond to questions. We had everything we needed for our break. Thank you Connie for a lovely stay and we will be back.
-
"We stayed at the cottage between Christmas and New Year."
Although the weather outside was very cold the heating system in the cottage was first class! The electric fire made it feel very cosy. You can walk to the local pub in 15 mins, take a torch though as there isn't any lighting. Lovely walks along the river. Very clean and comfortable. Most enjoyable few days away.
