Extended family Christmas

Quarry House was an amazing venue for our extended family Christmas celebration. We had 12 people from 9-74 and a dog and all had a great time. The house looked beautiful all lit up and decorated. We particularly appreciated the amazingly well equipped kitchen. There was nothing at all that we missed even down to spare batteries. There were clear instructions on how to operate everything and helpful local information. We enjoyed walks in the woods, soaking in the hot tub and warming up in front of the log burner. We had an issue with a power cut on the 1st night. This was outside anyone’s control but the owner was very helpful in communicating with us and finding out the cause of the problem and it was quickly resolved. All in all the house was perfect for our needs and we may very well rent it again (if they’ll have us!)

Lovely secluded, relaxing stay

A great sized property that had more than enough space for 7 of us. The grounds and surrounding woodlands were very peaceful. The added extras such as the log burner, hot tub & games room meant that we had plenty to do on the rainy days. The area is very remote which adds to the privacy and the nearby villages had everything we needed from takeaway to post office. We’d definitely love to stay again

Perfect relaxing family break

Quarry House was perfect for our family holiday. 7 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs enjoyed everything the house had to offer. The children had so much fun between the hot tub, games room, grounds and play area. The house is equipped with everything you need for an away from it all break. We enjoyed meals around the big kitchen table, beautiful views from the terrace and summer house, relaxing around the outdoor fire, chilling in the hot tub and long walks. The Chinese takeaway in Presteigne was delicious and only a 5 minute drive away. We loved the house and would definitely recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda and Chris Mallett

We have three children and two Labradors. We enjoy spending time together on holiday and love the tranquil relaxing home from home we have created. We have hired many holiday homes over the years and have a good idea about what makes a great holiday home. We hope that we have used our knowledge to create a wonderful holiday location for others to enjoy too.

Why they chose this property

Quarry House sits on the borders of both Powys and Herefordshire. We originally looked to buy a holiday home in Herefordshire where we had enjoyed a fabulous holiday the previous year. Herefordshire is a hidden gem of England and one of the best kept secrets as a place for wonderful holidays. Please keep our secret and join us in enjoying a beautiful part of the country.

What makes this property unique

The views from Quarry House are it's best feature. Watch the Herefordshire dairy herd in the morning charging across the fields to be fed. The walks direct from the property are fantastic for walkers and dog owners. Our dog enjoys the 3 acres of garden to explore. The house is well equipped for families with children. This house is our family home from home and we hope that you enjoy the comfort and facilities that we have available to our guests.
