Point Cottage Reviews

Jocelyn
This was our second stay at the perfectly placed Point Cottage, set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Lovely walks from the doorstep, wonderful garden for the dogs, super clean property and a village pub that does fish and chips on a Wednesday evening. Idyllic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Point Cottage. Its situation was perfect for us, lots of beautiful walks in the vicinity. The cottage itself is full of character and comfortable. We had absolutely no issues with the property and would stay there again. The local pub just down the road is extremely welcoming and offers good food and excellent service.
As two adults with two Labradors we were very comfortable and enjoyed very much our stay at Point Cottage. The kitchen facilities were perfectly adequate with sufficient resources. The dining room and lounge are similarly comfortable with the lounge seating particularly so. The main bedroom was perfect, however the second bedroom was quite small and would not offer sufficient room for two adults. The stairs are quite steep with winder steps at the top which would be difficult to negotiate for the elderly or infirm. If the bathroom is required during the nighttime, the downstairs excursion could be eventful. The bathroom could do with an update. When all said and done, we were happy with what Point Cottage provided for a very reasonable cost at a good location for visiting the county or further afield. had a very enjoyable stay.
Isobel
Last minute second visit to Point Cottage. Perfect location to explore Herefordshire. Very dog friendly with an enclosed, lawned garden and a bridleway just outside the garden gate. We had a wonderful break here!
Lovely stay at Point Cottage. Nice quiet country escape. Beautiful well maintained characterful house with a large encosed garden that our dog enjoyed. Looking forward to booking again
Nicola
Great property small, compact yet plenty of storage space in kitchen for food, which is rare. On bridal path perfect for us with our dogs and pub 6 min walk, great food. Garden perfect, grass was cut for when we got there.
Jocelyn
Point Cottage is the perfect dog friendly cottage for us! Situated right on a bridle way with beautiful views and lovely walks all around, this cosy cottage has everything required for a peaceful break. Our dogs absolutely loved the enclosed garden and countryside. The central heating is excellent if needed. Sitting at the picnic table enjoying a coffee in the morning sunshine listening to the birds and tractors was heaven. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us.
Absolutely loved the cottage and the dogs loved the secure garden. I really think a shower mat would be advisable as the water is lovely and soft but the bath is really slippery. Also a pint of milk would be helpful as if people are having a tesco delivery like we did our shop was early evening and we would have loved a cuppa when we arrived at 3pm.
Cottage was lovely, very homely, warm, clean and tidy, set in a tranquil area, garden was huge and well maintained. The owner was on hand to answer any questions and was very helpful and accommodating. Had everything one could wish for in a holiday home. Only negative from us is that the cottage sits next to a public footpathbridal way which was not mentioned in the details, therefore lots of people walking past etc, we found this intrusive as we couldnt sit in the garden without someone walking by on a daily basis, a fence could be erected around the low wall of the cottage for extra privacy. One family decided to sit on the wall to have their lunch!!
Penelope
We didnt want to leave this beautiful holiday haven! It is just a perfect location for total peace and quiet and absolutely ideal for dog owners. What more could you want but being situated on a bridleway plus a secure garden. Despite the rest of the country suffering with summer rain, we only had one shower when in Hay on Wye well worth a visit. We visited Moccas Park Nature Trail a great walking find, plus Sugwas Pool, Credenhill Country Park, Hergest Ridge breathtaking and the beautiful Hergest Croft, Brobury plus the Weir Gardens. We recommend Timothy and Birch at Bridge Sollers for wonderful cakes plus lunches. So many dog friendly places and so we will be booking again and looking forward to next year. We loved hearing the birds just outside the cottage which is well equipped and very cosy! Thank you!
Gordon
Point Cottage is a small, quaint cottage. It is well furnished and has all the items required for a weeks stay. The beds are comfortable and the property is clean. Two pluses for us are the large self contained garden ideal for our two dogs to run around and sit out, the other is the very large shed which was ideal for our bikes, bike carrier ad walking boots. There are plenty of places to visit and walk. The local pub the Yew Tree is fantastic, serves good beers and really nice food.
Mrs garet Turner
The cottage was very comfortable. Warm, good WiFi lovely newish settee and a great garden for Nero. The draw back being the stairs steep with a tight narrow turn at the top. The cottage is down a few miles of narrow country lanes and unfortunately these were flooded at the time of our arrival. A warning would have been nice as we were travelling from a drier location. The photos seem to be old and the living room is really much nicer now. Also add photos of bathroom and bedroom to enhance the place. The flies were back but spray seemed to sort them out. We would not return because we are getting old and creaky but would recommend it as a good place to stay. Lots of interesting places to visit too.
Timothy
Very comfortable and quiet cottage with the best settee weve ever had in a holiday cottage. Well equipped, comfortable bed and warm. If you wanted to get picky well a bigger TV maybe? Also no freezer compartment in the fridge. Minor details though. Would be great in winter, very cosy.
Lovely, cozy cottage. Comfortable beds! Best sofa for lounging
Really enjoyed our stay, great walks with the hound nearby. Cracking local pub The Yew Tree with friendly staff and locals. What more do you need ?
Fabulous stay. The entire house was warm and welcoming and everything that was required was available. The space for the dogs was brilliant and the peace and quiet was amazing. We enjoyed the stay greatly. Handy for National Trust properties and lots of outdoors experiences. Thank you
Deborah
Point Cottage with it's flagstone floors was ideal for us along with our 2 dogs, who enjoyed the large enclosed garden. It is comfortable and well equipped. The large shed was a bonus for storing fishing tackle. It's well positioned for walking, fishing and drives to many interesting places. The nearby Yew Tree Inn served good food and drink for when we didn't feeling like eating in.
Lovely property and great location, will be looking at rebooking again, a little treasure of a find
Rebecca
Excellent property, what a gem, thank you
Tracey
We had a lovely stay. Garden was perfect for our two energetic dogs very secure. We made use of the fire which was very effective and supply of logs was unexpected and generous. Local pub was great and bed was very comfortable!
Excellent, lovely cottage, well furnished. Well fenced large garden. There is a good safe footpath on the doorstep if you enjoy walking. Certainly hoping to go back again one day
Wonderful old cottage, with great walks on the doorstep and a pub down the road. What more could we want. Will definitely be staying there again in the future.
Michael
Absolutely perfect location for our needs. Perfect for relaxing cycle rides. Perfect for short or medium dog walks. Perfect for peace and quiet Very relaxing, and exactly what we were hoping for.
Richard
A fabulous week, the cottage is very well located for all the local sightseeing spots be they in England or Wales. The cottage was beautiful, very quiet as promised and thankfully wonderfully cool during the heatwave. The holiday and accommodation met all our expectations and we were particularly pleased with how escape proof the grounds are as we have a houdini of a poodle! Would highly recommend.
The cottage was beautiful with a wonderful garden. The local pub is a short stroll and had amazing food and was dog friendly. We had a great break.
Point Cottage is a lovely place to stay if youre visiting Herefordshire. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need. Very comfy beds. Private and secure garden which we made the most of. Short drive into Hereford, the cathedral is worth a visit.
Lovely little house. Reasonably well equipped in the kitchen, shower ok but not very powerful. Beds very comfortable. TV did not always work which was a bit frustrating and it was small. This was a shame as we like to watch TV in the morning before going out and when back in the evening. The garden was great big and secure for our dogs.
Graham
Lovely historic cottage. Great location, ideal for exploring Brecon Beacons and border area. Clean and well appointed. Good for dogs as garden enclosed and situated alongside a very quiet bridalway.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Point Cottage. Cottage was lovely and comfy and just what we needed to switch off and relax. Bridleway way just outside was perfect for walking dog and leisurely stroll.
Beautiful cottage in perfect location Welcoming pub a short walk away, great walks nearby. Very dog friendly with bridleway right outside. Cant fault it at all!!
It was a bit tight for space . Kitchen twin room for 3 adults . There seem to be a problem with flys as if something was dead in there somewhere. Also smoke alarm was in need of a battery. We had look for the freezer in out building. Yew tree was very nice.
Lovely old cottage, fitted out to a high standard & very comfortable. Country lanes great for dog walking. Friendly nearby local pub. This is a useful base for exploring Herefordshire, but you could alternatively spend your holiday locally, reading and walking. Wed recommend Point Cottage.
A very high standard of cottage, more spacious than it looked on the website and with a large garden.
Clean compact and lovely isolated country cottage where the sounds of nature pervade the atmosphere would definitely go back. Very helpful landlord. Secure garden and dog friendly.
Christine
A lovely cottage, away from the chaos , really quiet, but not too far to go , we enjoyed our stay, its down some narrow lanes and away from the village, we went in December, and there was a Christmas tree set up by the lovely fireplace with a woodburner, which we used, and felt very cosy. .
This is a cosy cottage, ideal for couples or a small family. It is great for dog owners as there is direct access to a quiet bridleway right outside. It is a good base for touring Herefordshire, the Welsh borders, Wye Valley and Malvern Hills. It is a bit remote, being in a village with nothing but houses and one pub, but the pub is only a 5 minute walk away and is friendly, serving good pub grub and local beers and ciders.
Lovely location, kitchen too small for two couples but would be OK for family with young children, only one w. C. is a minus. Having only 13.5 tog duvets meant we were either too hot with duvet or too cold with no duvet. No kitchen scales available in the house. We had originally booked this for the Hay festival week but then Covid happened so we were told that we could not go but that we could rebook another date without charge very generous, I don't think We were asked to pick another available date from the online calender as getting our money back wasn't an option, there was availability for 11th September and as it was advertised as 150 cheaper than the peak priced week that had been cancelled we booked it but we're not given a 150 refund. I'll bet that if we had booked a more expensive week we would have been charged the extra. We won't be booking with Sykes again, a dreadful experience. Cottage OK, Sykes abysmal.
