  • "Having stayed in over 20 cottages around England, Scotland and Wales, we would definitely put Pool Cottage in the "one of the better ones" category as it was bright, warm, comfortable, nicely decorated and just had a good feel to it."

    The only (very minor) downside was the curved driveway was a little tricky to navigate, but that might be more down to the driver's parking (in)ability!

    Would definitely recommend and would stay again if were visiting that area again. We also recommend dinner at Pilgrim Hotel, half an hours drive away but beautiful meals there. Thank you.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Pool Cottage and it was probably the cleanest and best maintained property we have ever visited."

    The facilities were excellent and it was great how well equipped the kitchen was, even down to providing a garlic press! The location was lovely with nice walks nearby and we'd definitely recommend the property to others.

  • "The house was excellent very cosy and very tastefully decorated."

    it had all that we needed. it was so lovely to find some flowers and biscuits on the table and milk in the fridge. Garden view very nice. I could quite easily have lived there and made it my home! I am taking the colour idea in the bathroom for mine that am updating and so too colour in kitchen for my bedroom! Certainly recommend to others to go. I also felt it was good value for money given the quality of the house furnishings etc,

  • "What a lovely holiday cottage this is , one of the best Sykes cottages we have stayed in ."

    The decor and furnishings were of the very highest standard and the rooms were spotlessly clean . We immediately felt at home and had an enjoyable week relaxing in the cottage and exploring the Herefordshire countryside. In particular we enjoyed our visits to Ledbury and the beautiful village of Weobley .
