  • "We had a wonderful stay in this quaint, warm and cosy cottage."

    Donna and Pete are brilliant hosts and gave us advice on places to go and to eat eg. best pub with great food is the Plough Inn. Also we’re happy for us to pick apples (eating and cookers), damsons from their fruit trees. Thank you.

    Very clean and comfortable. Cosy and romantic. The location is fabulous, surrounded by fields and walks from the door. The owners live on site and are very hospitable, but not intrusive. Would return again.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Little Pound House."

    The cottage is very compact but beautifully done and has a very comfy king sized bed. Owners Pete and Donna are very friendly and are happy for you to use their beautiful garden with stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The area is unspoilt and we enjoyed Bewdley (make sure you visit the museum with kitchen garden cafe) and exploring into Herefordshire. This cottage is attached to the owner’s home and there is only a (locked) door between your living room and their kitchen but this didn’t bother us. We’d love to come back if we’re ever in the area again. Thanks for having us and we will be happy to add your cottage to our website www.romanticretreats.co.uk :-)

    Very cosy but comfortable Cottage. Great area to explore and so many places nearby to visit. We had a lovely meal in the pub which is literally a minutes walk away. The owners Peter and Donna are so lovely and friendly, wanting to make sure we were comfortable, and offering the use of their garden. We enjoyed chatting with them. Thank you.

    If only there were more like them. The cottage and location is quiet and peaceful with country views and was absolutely perfect for the two of us. Good pub and restaurant within a minute, staff are few but very welcoming with a decent menu. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much, so an excellent few days break and fantastic hosts.

    It is extremely compact but has everything you need for a comfortable stay for two people. The owners were very friendly and kindly let us use their garden which made a perfect place to eat outside in the evenings. There are plenty of great walks and interesting places to visit in the area and two pubs serving good food nearby.

  • "A beautiful small cottage which is attached to the owners cottage with full use of the whole garden which is large with beautiful views."

    The owners Donna & Peter are lovely, friendly and gave us great local tips on pubs etc. The cottage was immaculate and although we didn’t use it, the lounge has a wood burner so very cosy if cold weather. There is no oven but there is a microwave and two ring hob which is sufficient as there are so many good pubs you don’t need to cook. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect - so much to do within a 30 minute drive with very little traffic. Would def recommend a visit.

  • "The property is comfortable and very clean."

    The owners are very helpful. Our concern is the majority of the main photo of the property on the website is of the owner's house, not the rental cottage. On views 14 and 15 only the small window to the left of the photo is of Little Pound House, which is at the side of the owner's property. View 16 is not part of the rental property. The owners invited us to use their garden and were very friendly. We had no issue with them or the interior of the property, but feel the outside photos of Little Pound House should accurately only show that property and not the one next door.

  • "A lovely little cottage, as described in the overview."

    It is very compact, with an 'old world' rustic feel - but clean and very well looked after. It is perfect for a couple looking to explore this part of the country. The old stair case is quite steep, so perhaps not for those with any serious mobility issues - but otherwise it is delightful. The owners, Peter and Donna, are friendly and very welcoming. Mamble is so tranquil; sitting at the table outside, you have a lovely view for miles into the distance and you are lucky to hear a single car, or indeed person, for hours on end. As we discovered, this part of the country is extremely beautful with some breathtaking scenery. Would recommend it.

    Great location with places like Hay on Wye, Bridgnorth and Ludlow all within 45 mins of the cottage. Great pub 50m from the front door! The huge garden is fabulous to sit and enjoy a drink and food in when the weather is good. A couple of little gaps; cooking a struggle with the microwave and small hob; a larger selection of pans and crockery would be good; no access to a washing machine for longer stays. Other than this we would recommend Pound House if you are looking for a relaxing break and a warm welcome from Pete and Donna who are lovely hosts.

    We stayed for 5 nights at the little pound cottage, Pete and Donna who restored the cottage done an amazing job, with little touches of antiques around the cottage to the beautiful log fire, it really has been beautifully put together by them both. The cottage is located perfectly for visiting Ludlow, Leominster, Tenbury Wells, Bewdley etc. The cottage was spotless and they even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. The hosts Pete and Donna were so welcoming and we look forward to seeing them again as well as visiting the cottage. We have already told all our friends and family about the cottage and they plan to visit in the near future. The little pound cottage is truly beautiful and at the end of each day myself and my partner couldn’t wait to go back to it each day from our outings.

    It has been tastefully fitted out & is comfortable for a few days away. There should be a few things mentioned in the description of the property. The steps are steep & narrow & also the ceilings are quite low. My husband is over 6 foot & kept banging his head. Love the bath, but it too is only small, ok for me but not husband. In today's climate there should be a dishwasher (a small one would fit) in the kitchen, which would give peace of mind that pots have been washed on a high temperature. The weather was very hot, so the bed would have been better with a thin duvet on, or just a top sheet. The owners were very friendly & the property was very clean

Typical for a cottage of this size, the staircase was very small and very steep with only 10 steps, however the overall cottage had everything we wanted for a home to home experience.
