  • "We had a lovely family break staying together in Notts House."

    Communication was excellent with Lynn who was so helpful and left a gratefully received welcome hamper. Staying in a property like Notts House is a unique experience - if only those walls could speak! The house is warm and cosy and is equipped with everything (and more) that you could need. It has a wonderful (and again unique) location in Wellington, which is a delightful village. The community shop is well stocked with helpful and friendly staff; in fact, everyone in the village was friendly. My husband and daughter' partner went to watch the local football team and were warmly welcomed after the game at the social club - so they were very happy!! Lovely countryside for walking just out of the gate. Amongst other locations we visited Leominster, Hereford, Ross and Hay on Wye. Would thoroughly recommend the Weir Gardens and other National Trust properties nearby - Croft Castle and Berrington Hall. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you Lynn.

    Thankyou Lesley for taking time to write feedback .. much appreciated and glad to hear you made good memories during your stay at Notts House .. glad to share it with you all. Property Owner

  • "What a lovely cottage, snug and warm and very private."

    Very well equipped kitchen (the best we have seen in many years of staying in holiday cottages all round the U.K.). The owner - Lynn, was so helpful and only a phone call away. The weather was spectacularly bad on several days (thunderstorms), but it was comforting to know that we could return to the warmth and comfort of Notts House to dry out and relax at the end of the day. Handy village stores just down the road and Fish & Chip night on Wednesdays courtesy of a mobile provider. Highly recommended property.

  • "We had a wonderful stay in this delightful beautiful cottage and we are looking forward to returning again in the future."

    The two rooms in the attic, as mentioned in the listing, are difficult to reach but for our four year old it added to the magic as she thought she was sleeping in the princess tower. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Was a privilege to have the opportunity to stay there.

  • "Stayed here for a long weekend including a wedding nearby."

    We had a fantastic stay. The house is amazingly well equipped for cooking and barbecuing etc. the top floor bedrooms are quite small with low ceilings but this is part of the character of the cottage. The rooms were comfortable and bathrooms pleasant. The village is very quiet but has a well stocked shop. There is a footpath right next to the house which leads along the stream or to surrounding countryside. The property owner was very helpful and gave detailed directions and extra info about the house before arrival. I look forward to staying there again!

  • "A memorable stay in an amazing house."

    This is a great place to stay. It is peaceful, roomy, warm,well laid out and caters for everyone including the family pet. My wife is raving about the quality of the bed linen.....it may cost me a fortune! The weather was a bit mixed during our stay but we were comfortable and warm with lots to entertain us including games for the kids. This is a lovely area and staying in such a fine house added to the enjoyment of our stay. A special word of thanks to our host Lynn who was always there for us on the end of the phone if we had a query. Thank you also for the welcoming gift.

    Clean, tidy and very well-equipped with a lot of character. The owner was very helpful throughout. Wellington village itself seemed to be a friendly place judging by our interactions with the locals, and a special mention for the people who run the local shop, who were great.

  • "We had a lovely week in a Notts House."

    The cottage kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed. The cottage is lovely and quirky but also warm and cosy. We enjoyed the back garden which was a sun trap in the afternoon. A pleasant river side walk lead to the well supplied village shop. We also played tennis one day by contacting the club chair picking up a key. There are nice walks from the village along quiet roads and fields. A very nice time was had by all. Thank you.

    Clean and tidy on arrival, (hope it was on our departure). Good location between the towns of Herford and Leominster but still very peaceful.

  • "A group of us stayed at Notts Cottage for a long weekend in February and we were not disappointed with our stay."

    Due to the recent flooding in the area the owner made contact a week prior to our stay to discuss the situation. Further contact was made just before the visit to ensure we had all the information we could possibly need-this was in addition to the helpful info pack in the property. The cottage is characterful and has charm. The layout is quirky; the top floor rooms have enough space to be comfortable and all rooms were immaculately clean. The lounge is a lovely, cosy place to relax and unwind. The kitchen certainly becomes the ‘heart of the home’ with the range and spacious, sturdy table. There are character features which make your stay feel that little more special. There’s plenty of space for parking and what’s not to love about a stroll through the adjacent cemetery? The village shop is fantastic and the locals we encountered were all really friendly. We would definitely stay at Notts Cottage again. Thank you for making it such a great place to have a rest!

  • "Beds comfy, linen was lovely (it was white company-nice touch!"

    ). Loved the quirky, old house I would recommend staying here. Just enough hot water for the guests to get showered (quickly!), not enough for the post roast-dinner washing up. Other than this it was perfect, really enjoyed our stay here. Please note that the local pub has closed in Wellington so there isn't a pub within walking distance of the house- this should be updated on the website as this was a requirement of our search. House was clean and well maintained (no bin bags provided so take your own!). Perfect for a family get together/celebration!

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback. With reference to the hot water if we were advised that it was running low we could have arranged for the house keeper to contact you to show you how to work the immersion. The owner sends her apologies for this as she would usually be on hand but due to a family member being hospitalized was not there for your check in. We hope this didn't impact you time at Notts House and look forward to your return. Property Owner

  • "We stayed as here as 2 families ,being 7/8 adults in total ."

    The cottage is very warm, with only 1 main living room to squeeze 8 adults into . The kitchen is a good size with a large table but no main food storage cupboard . Their are ample toilets and showers . The first floor bedrooms were very comfy and plenty of room . The 2nd floor is actually a converted attic room which is very cramped for adults with a spiral staircase leading up to the rooms . The village has a good shop but no pub . There are good walks from here and plenty to do in the surrounding area .
