Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found The Bothy to be clean and well-presented. There were a few isolated comments about cobwebs and dust, but these do not seem to represent the overall experience.
The location is consistently described as peaceful, beautiful, and convenient for exploring the Wye Valley and surrounding areas. Its easy access off the M50 and proximity to local towns are appreciated.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with particular praise for the bed and quiet environment. However, there were a few negative remarks about a lumpy mattress and steep stairs, which slightly lower the score.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the private garden. Some guests suggested improvements such as the addition of a washing machine and better hot water availability.
While the reviews reflect positively on the hosts' welcoming and helpful nature, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that could be expected by future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for this category.
