Kathryn
We spent a week in the Lodge with grandparents, children and their partners (from 17-84!), 10 of us in total. Knowing the weather can be unpredictable in the UK we chose a cottage with lots of space and things to do. It didn't disappoint. The pool table, hot tub and darts board were particularly popular. The decor is wonderful and every room was we ll equipped and beautifully clean. The electric car charger was a real benefit too.

Emma
The Lodge is a very high specification accommodation which is spacious, spotlessly clean and set in a secluded beautiful rural location. The garden is secure for dogs with an area at the side of the house which particularly enclosed. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in a luxury home.
Karl
Great house and location for a very special celebration. Thank you!
Emma
My family and I stayed here for the week, it is the most stunning house in a idyllic location. The house feels very luxury with lovely touches. All of the bedrooms are finished to such a high quality and the beds are a dream. BBQ's in the evenings and then a dip in the hot tub afterwards is definetly something I will miss! If you are thinking about booking, do not hesitate you will not regret it!
B
Very spacious property even though there were 10 of us staying. Had everything that we needed. The pool table was a favourite in the evenings.
perry
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful we will definitely be coming back. Quality wherever you looked. Our party ranged from 83 to 22 of age and there was something for everybody to get involved best time together thank you Joanna,David and Cheryl . From the Fovargues , Lindley and Willis families
Joanna
Lovely area with great views from the property. Its very rural and quiet with very little light pollution. There were 9 of us staying with two dogs, we were able to escape each other when needed, and there was plenty to do from visiting the bookshops at Hay on Wye to canoeing near Ross on Wye. It was also fairly quick to get to Hereford if you want ed to go to the cinema in the evening etc.
David
Our family (six adults, four children under four and Lola the golden retriever) had a wonderful holiday in this fabulous property. Superb high spec accommodation, gorgeous surroundings and central to many local attractions. The owners communicated regularly to ensure everything was in place prior to our stay and were on hand to help during the dura tion of our holiday. There were so many thoughtful touches: champagne on arrival for my big birthday celebration, cuddly toys for the children etc.
Carly
We had the most amazing stay to celebrate a special birthday. Owners were so helpful prior to the stay and during. There was even a bottle of champagne on arrival which was such a lovely gesture. If we were to holiday in Hereford again we would love to stay here. We have already sent the details of this property to family and friends. Highly recomm end and thank you for everything.
Mark
This is the most amazing accommodation we have stayed in. Fabulous location and so well equipped. The view from the hot tub was superb and a wonderful garden. We took both young children and dogs and both were so well catered for. A truly beautiful property.
Stewart
What a great place. Real impact when we walked in with plenty of space and all the facilities you could want - all high spec ! Great for mixed family groups to allow some wanting peace and quite and others wanting activities. Surrounded by beautiful farming countryside but no negative impacts from the farms being run locally. 30 mins drive to spect acular places in the area and Hereford (10-15mins) has all the shops youd ever need. Make sure you eat one night at The Kilpeck Inn
