Clean and comfy with all you need. We would hope to return and explore area further as our trip was cut short due to health issues.

We had everything we needed and it was a very cosy cottage to relax in after a day's walking or sight-seeing. Also, the cottage is in a good position, between Hereford and Ledbury, for visiting Herefordshire.
