Reviewers frequently commend the cottage for its immaculate cleanliness. The property is consistently described as well-maintained, with several guests specifically noting the cleanliness as a highlight of their stay.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local sights, including Monmouth and the Wye Valley. The village setting and nearby pub are also appreciated, although a few guests mention traffic noise. The scenic surroundings and historical interest of Trelleck contribute positively to the location score.
Comfort is a strong point for 'The Pound', with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. The spacious main bedroom and the warm welcome add to the comfort level, although a few guests note the second bedroom is quite small.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped.
