Comfortable and cosy

Jenny was really easy to communicate with and gave us some great suggestions. The cottage was perfect for two couples and had everything we needed. Thanks Jenny!

Wonderful

We had a wonderful time staying at the Watchmakers Cottage. The countryside around was stunning and we enjoyed the varied bird life. Jenny and Max have created a wonderfully equipped cottage, a real home from home, everything was provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jenny & Max were wonderful hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The firewood was always stocked and as we were there for 5 weeks, clean laundry was provided every week. Our children of 10 and 8 loved the gardens (as did we) and were very welcomed. The lovely shop at Whitchurch sells great coffee and was a joy to visit,selling lots of gourmet type food items including Gluten Free which we very much appreciated having a GF member of the family. We also enjoyed visiting the local farm shop. The cottage is in great proximity to the Forest of Dean & Wye valley, with Symonds Yat a short drive away. Thank you Jenny & Max, it was just what we hoped for after our move back to the UK.

Idyllic spot in the heart of Herefordshire

Delightful location, so tranquil and refreshing. A long weekend was too short a stay.

Beautiful cottage in very peaceful and beautiful area.

Watchmakers Cottage is a delightful cottage which is very well equipped. You don't need to take anything for the kitchen with you. Max met us on arrival and showed us round the cottage. The hosts, Jenny and Max are very friendly and happy to help with anything if needed. We made use of the shaded patio area. You are also able to use their lovely gardens too. We will definitely will be back. Before we left, Jenny took us round the 2 bedroom apartment which is attached to their house. This is also very well equipped and is on this site 'Little Daffaluke'. Thank you Jenny and Mike for making our stay so comfortable. Diane and Colin
