Very well presented & equipped with a safe, secure garden. I had already booked again for next March. However, this time, I became aware of a nearby Army Training Area. Unfortunately, my dog is frightened of fireworks so was quite unsettled by the unexpected noises coming from the training area.

From entering it felt just like home. We were holidaying with friends from Germany who both said what a wonderful place it was. On arrival there was a âwelcome packâ of tea and biscuits, which after quite a long drive was very much appreciated. We all agreed that the beds were very comfortable and the other amenities were first class. A nice little bonus was the table tennis in the garage, which we made use of, and we were even able to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine The house itself was very well situated and the village amenities were only 5 minutes walk away, we can recommend the fish and chips and the pub restaurant. Ewyas Harold is an ideal base for exploring the area, Hereford is only half an hourâs drive away as are trips into Wales. To conclude, from booking the holiday until leaving to come home everything went smoothly, unfortunately we could only stay for six days as it was such a lovely spot, would certainly recommend.

2 pubs and chip shop within easy walking distance. Lots of walks from the property especially on the common land. Lovely time had by myself and family.
