• "Property generally very good, lovely and warm."

  Sofas in lounge could have been more comfortable. A more obvious sign for the property would be useful closer to the road. All in all a most enjoyable stay.

• "A really lovely cozy but spacious cottage with stunning views over the Wye valley and hills beyond."

  There was everything you needed and more to make for a perfect stay. The underfloor heating on the ground floor was a great bonus as we had a mixed week weather wise with it starting of cold, so the cottage was so nice to come back to after exploring the local area. It was great seeing all the sheep plus lots of wild live including a fox, rabbits, hares, a red kite and a pleathera of birds. Sharon called round during the week to make sure all was OK. Many thanks Sharon for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage and for the goody pack. We visited and thoroughly recommend Hay-on-wye, Ludlow and Hereford. The best local pub for delicious meals and a fantastic roast on Sundays is The Boat Inn just down the road in Witney-on-wye. A 5* cottage for sure.

• "The cottage and its location was amazing."

  We have never relaxed so well in a holiday cottage as I did in Rose Cottage a real home from home. The views from the cottage are wonderful and the outside seating is perfect. Great location as you are near to Hay-on Wye and also Hereford for shopping but also not too far from great walks. We will be back.

  Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, it is always great when you know guests have enjoyed their stay at Rose Cottage. Hopefully we will see you again in the future. Thank you Sharon Property Owner

• "Lovely secluded cottage in the Wye valley giving a nice quiet countryside retreat away from it all."

  You do need to drive to pick up provisions though as Winforton has no shops and only a pub that only opens for part of the week. The cottage itself is well laid out for 6 people and has plenty of storage space. All in all a nice little find if you want a peaceful retreat and a base to go and explore what Herefordshire has to offer.

  I am please to hear that you explored the surrounding area and enjoyed your stay at Rose Cottage. Property Owner

• "Fire safety completely ignored - no safety lights, no torches, no signs and all the external doors on standard keys hung under the stairs."

  No first kit, no information on consumer board or stop cock, local hospitals etc. Guest information 7 years out of date. Kitchen equipment inadequate and not to Sykes standard. Oven and extractor fan not cleaned. No heating in the bedrooms during the day and no override. Fridge freezer especially the freezer totally inadequate for the number of guests. Not a 5 tick experiance

  I am surprised by the review given, past comments show that guests have had an enjoyable stay at Rose Cottage “bright, cosy, warm, spotlessly clean, perfect, everything we could want” are just some of the things they have said! In answer to comments that have been made in this review - fire safety concerns have been addressed to follow the new guidelines recently introduced with emergency power failure torches now in place, although battery torches have always been available for use by guests and exit doors now have thumb latches fitted for ease of exit. There is and always has been an up-to-date information pack available at Rose Cottage and guests can contact me 24 hours a day should they ever experience any problems during their stay. Rose Cottage benefits from an ECO air source heating system which provides underfloor heating to the ground floor 24 hours a day, the first floor has radiators which are timed to come on several times a day and thermostatically controlled. We always do our best to make every stay as comfortable and memorable as possible for our guests. Property Owner

• "Lovely house and setting."

  Beautiful views. However: Parking and access is much tighter than the impression given by the listing photos. Manageable for us, but could be trickier for others depending on their vehicle, The en-suite shower didn’t adjust water temperature properly and dripped noisily all night. Cutlery was dirty with dried on food remnants and had to be hand washed to get clean enough to be used. Most importantly, the fridge doesn’t work properly and was nowhere near cold enough to store food safely.. Mostly as a result of the last point, we left and returned home early,

  I am very sorry that you were not happy with your stay at Rose Cottage. I am unsure why you found the parking difficult as we regularly have 2/3 cars parked on the drive and have never had a complaint in the past. I check the cutlery and crockery weekly and I can only apologise if I missed to see that an item was dirty. All guests are given my mobile telephone number and email address and and on your welcome email it is clear that if you have any problems whilst staying at Rose Cottage to please contact me so that I can rectify any issues that you may be unhappy with whilst you are staying at the cottage and I am disappointed that you did not contact me at the time of your stay.

Lovely walk down to the river and back into village. Note there is know street lights in the village so a torch is very useful. The cottage itself is of very high standard everything for your needs.

  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage. The setting idyllic with a lovely walk to the river and a great 'foodie' pub nearby. The accomodation was the perfect blend of old world style in a fully new, clean, warm renovated building. Excellent facilities, olent of space for our party of 6. Great to have 2 bathrooms and a downstairs toilet. Garden was amazing to play lawn games. Had BBQ facilities if you needed it, a lovely woodburner that we didn't use but would be great in cold weather. All other equipment (eg kitchen) was more than adequate. Best of all Sharon the host was excellent....provided us everything we needed, responded almost immediately to any question and provided us a few welcome surprises that added to a lovely holiday experience.

  My 1 year old absolutely loved waking up to the "baa's" (sheep) in the fields each morning. Cottage was exceptionally clean and warm on arrival. We stayed here for the weekend whilst attending my brothers wedding at Whitney Court, which was less than 2 miles away from the cottage. My only very small recommendation would be for an upgrade on the ironing board. The boys shirts got creased in transit and when I went to use the ironing board it left one sleeve quite badly marked due to not much padding on the board. We live just 30 minutes from the cottage and know the area well so didn't actually do any sight seeing as such, but I would highly recommend Rose cottage and wouldn't hesitate in rebooking should the opportunity arrise.

  Located in the quiet village of Winforton, just 12 miles from the large town of Hereford Rose cottage is ideally positioned to allow easy exploration of the surrounding area. Whether that be a trip to the Brecon Beacon National Park, retail therapy in the town of Hereford or just simply exploring the surrounding villages, Rose Cottage offers the ideal base from which to do it all. The cottage itself easily accommodated both myself and my wife along with our three children, in extreme comfort. From the moment you drive up to the flower edged driveway Rose cottage captivates you and gets your holiday off to a great start. The facilities within the cottage itself; underfloor heating, fully serviced kitchen and separate laundry room, three large bedrooms (one en-suite), one toilet downstairs and one upstairs with separate shower and bath, spacious living room and diner come conservatory give you that home from home feeling.

  Views from the conservatory and garden were everything we could have wished for and we enjoyed watching the sheep trying to keep cool under the shade of the trees during the hot, sunny weather as we gazed across open farmland to the wooded ridge on the other side of the river. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside in the garden to enjoy this view but were disappointed that there was no parasol to go with the table and benches and the sun was just too hot for us. An alternative would have been garden chairs we could move to suitable shadier areas. One or two other suggestions- The provision of a non-slip shower and/or bath mat would have helped as we found the shower trays uncomfortably slippy when soapy. Although the beds were very comfortable, the pillows were all a little solid and we would have liked the option of slightly softer ones. The information on recycling was sparse so we had to guess what this council were able to take. Some instructions on using the cooker and microwave would have been useful, as well as for other appliances such as rebooting the broadband router. I had forgotten to bring my binoculars and a house pair would have meant enjoying the scenery and wildlife even more. Even so, we really enjoyed our week and would not hesitate to rebook or to recommend for anyone wanting to stay in this beatiful part of the country.

Rose cottage is located behind another property down a small lane near the church and when entering Winforton it is the first turning on the left. Look forward to visiting again.
