We had such a wonderful stay at Courtyard / Gardeners cottage! it exceeded expectations in every way. We were a group of three friends with 3 children and to small dogs and the cottage was a success with all of us. Located on a large estate where we were welcomed to walk and enjoy the fruit growing fields. it was such a beautiful and peaceful seRead moretting. The cottage was very spacious and full of character. Plenty of room for all of us. Very comfortable beds, and quiet at night apart from a few owls who were very welcome ! The kitchen is very well equipped for self-catering and the basket of goodies plus local cheese, butter and milk in the fridge was a wonderful surprise. The garden is huge - the children and dogs made great use of the space, as well as the 'football pitch' in the walled garden, the pool which we had to ourselves each morning, and was pleasantly warm once you braved getting in; and the padel court went down a storm too! You could easily just stay at the property and enjoy a few days, but there is also so much to do in the local area. Our favourites - Visit to Ludlow, going via Ludlow food centre to stock up for a yummy 'picnic dinner' and canoeing on the wye from Hay on Wye. Would highly recommend, and my friends are now thinking of booking the bigger house for a big birthday get together! Hide

A lovely cottage - very suitable for families with dogs. Good garden area and excellent pool. Great temperature despite outside temperature a bit low at times. Kids loved it. Great location with plenty to do all within about half an hour. Would definitely book again.
