    The knives for food preparation could have been sharper.

    The cottages were extremely comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The staff responded to queries promptly. The hot tubs and garden areas were immaculate and a super facility for the 4 generations of our family plus dogs.

    Very difficult to control temperature of over bath shower. As a tall person I needed to raise height of en-suite shower head but it wouldn't stay up. Very minor issues in an otherwise fantastic property.

    Beautifully appointed cottage with everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable and well heated. Huge hot tub. Responsive hosts. Easy to check in and out. Great countryside location with well stocked village shop. Short distance to larger towns.

    The wi-fi was poor and we were not able to use it for what we needed it for. The wood burner was very old so we only used it one evening but this did not cause any problem to us as the central heating was very good and the cottage remained warm.

    We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, clean , tidy and warm. It had a very cosy homely atmosphere. The central heating was very good and there was plenty of hot water. The shower was really good. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment needed and the bedrooms were nice and spacious.and the beds very comfortable. The cottage was in walking distance to the village shop and in a good location for travelling around the wye valley. It was a pity the village restaurant/pub was closed down.

    Our second visit to this lovely little cottage! We love the beautiful village of Lea and the relaxing feel of the cottage. Lovely and clean, beds super comfy, hot tub and pool table are a hit with the kids. Lovely place to spend quality family time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! We will be back again next year! Thanks!

    Felt like the property was miss advertised with the photos and glad I checked before we left. Garden set up is a bit wierd with having to go through the neighbours garden to get to the top with the dogs. Kitchen ceiling is very low and anyone over 5'11" ig going to be stooping.

    Lovely house, although not as advertised. Thought we had a hot tub and a pool table, but three houses are advertised under one set of photos. Luckily one of the houses was empty and we were able to use that hot tub with the agreement of the letting company. Close to Ross on wye (10 min drive) great parking at the Ross Rowing club.

    Not the cottage but the advertised local pub has been closed for a while. Having never used one before I feel it should be clear that we were responsible for maintaining the hot tub and emptying the dehumidifier whether or not we were using it.

    The cottage had all facilities needed for our stay .having towels provided was a useful extra . The room with the hot tub gave an extra space that was helpful during the day and would be a good space for stays later in the season.rooms were comfortable and the kitchen, though small, had everything needed. Position was ideal to navigate around the Forest of Dean. Local shop was great and very friendly the Berry Hut was a novelty for fresh fruit and eggs.

    Lovely cottage. All the comfort if home. The dog friendly element was most important for us. We had a good family time. Lovely walks and nearby towns. Next time might apply for the one with a hot tub but it wasn't majorly important. Thank you

    lovely cottage. Everything we needed. Only thing I would suggest is a runner in the bedroom as it leads to the top area of the garden and although our dog had very small paws it would be easier to keep clean. Not an issue as we used the one from the lounge. We had an amazing time and would definitely book again.

    The super cute adorable cottage was very well appointed and clean. Well located for Cannop cycle trails. Great little local shop at the bottom of the road. We stayed in the middle cottage (Owl) and had the benefit of a lovely garden room where we sat with some prosecco one evening. Thanks to Phil for arranging a new WiFi router! Had a fab stay!

    Only niggle was that stair gate was awkward, especially when carrying luggage etc up and down stairs- would have been great to have facility to keep it open ( though understand the owner would not want any possibility of dogs upstairs )

    Great for a group of female friends, x4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate toilet. Lovely and warm, hot tub huge and everything you could need

    We found and operated everything eventually, but printed instructions of appliance operation and the location of a vacuum cleaner, etc, would have been good. Not a problem, just a time saver.

    Super location with easy access to bus routes and a pleasant hand over from the owner. A comfortable fully equipped cottage.

    We loved everything. We wanted a relaxing break away and this is exactly what we got. The lovely little village of Lea was the perfect setting, very calm and peaceful. The local shop had everything we needed for our stay, however there was a Morrison’s 10 minutes away. The cottage itself was beautiful, lots of character and clean and tidy. We had a lovely time using the hot tub and playing pool. There was a bbq set up ready for us which we happily used one night. Dog friendly and the garden was plenty big enough for our boy to run around and explore.

    It was a bit of a hassle having to go upstairs and through a bedroom to get out into the garden, but once there it was a nice spot. It just made eating meals out there a bit difficult, so we used the little paved area outside the kitchen, but it was tiny. We managed though, and it wouldn't deter us from using the property again.

    We had plenty of room for two couples, one single, a toddler and a dog. The space worked really well for us. The hosts were great; really friendly and welcoming. We had one small issue with the coffee maker, which upon letting them know they resolved literally within minutes, to our complete satisfaction. Very impressive reaction! The beds were really comfortable and the bedrooms good sizes. Although the shower pressure wasn't fantastic, it was certainly adequate, and better than expected after having read some of the reviews. They provided beautifully thick, large bath towels - the best we've ever had anywhere!

    We had a very comfortable stay at the cottage, it was easy to find straight off the motorway. The advert for these cottages aren't clear as people are under the impression the cottage has a hot tub and pool table, it had neither. The 2 and 4 bedroom cottage has a hot tub. These details need to be amended on the website. There needs to be grab rails at the top of the stairs. My elderly mother struggled to go up and down the stairs. Also there should be a step in front on entering the cottage. Also the 4th bannister rail (from the top of the stairs) is loose.

    The cottage was very easy to find/location. It was clean, homely and quirky. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The locals especially the corner shop staff were very friendly.
