Another lovely comfortable stay at Little Holdings.Perfect for a winter break with the benefit of a hot tub.One of the main reasons we like this cottage is the enclosed garden for our crazy Springer Spaniel.We can truly relax knowing she cannot escape.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable break. The cottage and terrace, and small garden, were lovely. We very much enjoyed the hot tub. The cottage and garden were ideal for couples (or a single person), and very dog-friendly. We received a lovely welcome. There was a lovely wood just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage - suitable for people an d dogs to stretch their legs. Lots to explore around the Wye Valley.

Sian

Back from after a weeks stay with our 2 spaniels.. An idyllic location for exploring the Wye Valley & surrounding areas, accommodation was perfect with lovely little added touches. Greeted by Paul & Lesley on our arrival , they couldnt have been more lovely & welcoming, made more of a fuss of our dogs than us! Once they showed us the ins & outs of everything, left us to our wonderful week..woodland access the lane, fantastic for a quick walk with the dogs.. Cant recommend highly enough !!

Sue

Warm and friendly owners who clearly take much pride in what they do and what they offer. Spotlessly clean, this well appointed cottage has everything you need for an enjoyable getaway and is a perfect size for 2 people and 2 small to medium size dogs. The surrounding woodland is a fur baby paradise and we were sad to leave.

Cracking little cottage, handy for quick early morning/evening dog walks in the woods and also for day trips to explore the wider area. Garden is totally secure so we could let our 2 dogs out without worrying about escape attempts! Loved having the hot tub to relax in after a long day walking! Kitchen is very well equipped, we had everything we nee ded to prepare, cook and eat in every night! Would definitely come back!

Dave

Lovely welcoming owners and cottage, everything you could ever need and all those little extras to make our stay soecial

Lynn

Wow, what a little gem. We have just returned from a 4 night stay. The owners gave a very warm welcome on arrival, the cottage is very well equipped and cosy. The hot tub was brilliant to relax in after a walk around the public footpaths from the cottage door or just star gaze and relax while our dog was roaming around the secure garden. We really enjoyed our stay, it did the job of recharging our batteries ready to get back to the rat race. Thank you, Lesley and Paul for making us feel welcome

Nicola

Lovely location with great views. Cottage was very clean and well equipped , plus decorated for Christmas! Lots of information provided for the area. Paul and Lesley are so friendly and helpful ( thank you for posting our forgotten trainers!) we had a lovely time with our doggies at the cottage. The garden really is very secure and no way doggies c an get out , especially helpful when in the hot tub! We dined out at the mill race in walford which was a great place and recommend. xx

Lauren

We had a great stay in this cottage, very clean and has everything we needed for a few days away. Stunning area for long walks made even better knowing there is a hot tub to go back to to relax after a long day walking. The owners are very friendly and only next door if anything is needed.

Sally

Lesley and Paul are the loveliest couple who have provided the perfect accommodation for two either with (or without dogs). You wouldn't know it was a pet friendly cottage such is the cleanliness! Cosy, comfortable and easy to stay at. The hot tub a welcome addition making returning to the property after a long walk a real treat! We had good weathe r which was a bonus and my husband fished the Wye catching a couple of Wye Barbel and some very nice Chub. We most certainly will return to stay.

Great property which is ideal for two people and has everything you would need included.

The area has lots of walks nearby and is a short drive from the Forest of Dean. Wed definitely recommend staying here.

Great location set in beautiful countryside with plenty of local walks and attractions, many of which were all well within 30 minute drive. The perfect base to explore the Wye Valley

Glyn

A lovely place to explore Ross-on-Wye, with Woodland walks on your doorstep for the dog and the hot tub a real bonus. Only downside is the local pub which is a steep climb. Would definately recommend for those who want to get away and have a bit of peace and quiet :-)

Brittany

Little Holdings was absolutely amazing. The owners are such wonderful people and so very accommodating and made us feel so at home. The cottage itself is superbly decorated and was very clean on our arrival. It is a very cosy place. Not to mention the amazing hot tub! The location of the cottage is great. It is far enough removed from neighbours an d the busy road that you do get that romantic, secluded feeling but close enough to shops and activities that its easy to go out. 10/10 all round

Stephen

Perfect cottage with fabulous hot tub. Welcomed by the lovely hosts who reside next door & are available for any advice. Would highly recommend this accommodation for anyone visiting The Wye valley area.

Kathryn

The cottage was extremely clean and home from home. Such a relaxing two nights away and the hot tub was a lovely invitation after long beautiful walks. The amazing kind gesture of a cold bottle of fizz and chocolate in the fridge from the owners on arrival. Great escape and 100% highly recommend.

Beverley

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Didn't need to worry about our dog messing up the flooring because it is a laminate but looks like proper wood.Enclosed back courtyard and lawned area which was ideal for our dog who likes to run away. Hot tub was heaven and the owners very friendly. 15mins to the forest of dean which has loads of walking and biking trails.

Ben

Perfect base for a holiday in the Wye valley. Quaint accommodation with fantastic hosts, couldnt fault cleanliness or hospitality. Would absolutely recommend.
