  Very disappointed with this cottage.

  We arrived on a bright sunny afternoon and were met at the back door with a very unpleasant smell of diesel oil which we traced to the cabinet beside the door and the smell entered the cottage as we left the door open to allow some light into the narrow kitchen. We found the interior of the cottage to be very dark unlike the photos on the website and needed the lights to be on. The L shaped sofa bed in the sitting area looked very grubby and was uncomfortable to sit on as it is so worn and soft. The room also has a very small television. The photo on the website is inaccurate and there is now a log burner in the empty chimney space. The wooden stairs to the bedrooms are steep with an acute turn at the top where the treads become vary narrow at one side and although a hand rail is provided, extreme care needs to be taken when descending. Reference to this should be included in the cottage description or a photo included as these may not suit everyone. The ground floor bathroom is very basic but looks ok. There should also be photos of the two bedrooms online, the larger of which is very dark and uninviting. The twin room that we required was not prepared for us. The room is very small with two beds which were unmade with no bed linen available.The sagging mattresses on both beds are poor quality and well past their best and were covered with worn out mattress protectors with a folded duvet on each. There is no evidence of the "quality furnishings" referred to in the description on the online listing. We phoned Sykes to advise them that we had made the decision not stay in this cottage and the agent tried to contact the owner on our behalf both by phone and email but subsequently told us that she had been unable to do so until after the weekend. The response from the cottage owner that Sykes eventually passed on to us was very dismissive of our complaint and which we are dissatisfied with. The cottage has undoubtedly been renovated from a smaller building and is in a lovely part of Herefordshire. The addition of a small field at the back is ideal for dog owners and children but the actual accommodation, in our opinion, is certainly not 4 star standard and our experience left us very disappointed.

  The cottage is in a wonderful location, it's quiet and very peaceful.

  The carefully enclosed garden was great for our dogs, giving them ample space to play. The cottage itself however, did not live up to the description given on Sykes website. It is marketed as being able to accommodate six, but cramming six people into that cottage would be impossible. According to the description, the sofa can be converted into a bed sufficiently large for two people to sleep on, that along with the two upstairs bedrooms qualifies it to sleep six. The ancient, grubby sofa was extremely uncomfortable to sit on and could never provide a satisfactory bed for two. Even more evidence came in the form of the dining suite. - are meals to be taken in relays so that six people can use the four chairs? The dissatisfaction we felt in regard to Point Cottage was due to the unrealistic description presented on the website. Please could you ensure that descriptions accurately reflect the facts of the accommodation. In this case the cottage sleeps four and the standard of the furnishings and facilities definitely do not merit the four tick rating it has. It does not approach luxury as is suggested, but provides adequate accommodation.

  Point cottage is a quaint property in a good location in Preston on Wye, Herefordshire.

  There is a dog friendly pub within a few minutes walk and there is a Post Office and shop within 4 miles. The area is lovely and there is lots to do within a 20 mile radius.There is a bridleway on the doorstep which is ideal for an early morning dog walk. The Point is well appointed and has a kitchen with enough equipment to make substantial meals. The large bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage for clothes. We were only two adults and a large dog so the cottage was plenty big enough for us - six would be a squeeze, but possible if not a bit cosy! The furnishings are tastful, the cottage is very clean, oodles of hot water and the garden is large enough for dogs/children to run around. The owners kindly left us some milk for our 1st cuppa and there was kitchen rolls, washing up liquid, cling film, foil and toilet rolls supplied, so I needn’t have taken our own! The only negatives of the cottage is the steep stairs (the toilet and bathroom are down stairs - going to the loo in the night took concentration!) and hard stone floors which is all part and parcel of a very old property. I shall pack my slippers for next time!

  This was a beautiful accommodation in an equally lovely location.

  The spec was all to a very high standard, the kitchen equipment was superb - nothing second class or shoddy about items supplied. The welcome pack was most appreciated. The whole accommodation was beautiful and to a very high standard, bed was really comfortable. We chose this accommodation for the fact it had an undercover hot tub area as very few holiday lets provide this (most definitely an asset with the UK weather) and it lived up to all our expectations and more, the outside fridge was also an asset and an absolute deal breaker, it was so helpful in having extra space to store our food/drinks etc. Waking up to the cows, sheep and birds was so lovely and relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is that it would have been nice to have some ice made up as ice tray was empty (a very small thing) and some flash/power cleaner to help me clean at the end of stay) apart from that all fabulous - could not recommend highly enough. We met the owner on our last day when leaving so certainly not an intrusive lady lady :) Excellent all round. In relation to trips, Ludlow castle great and markets superb.

  Absolutely stunning accommodation and location.

  The property was exceptional, you could tell from the start great care and thought has been put into all the little details. And no corner was cut to make the stay completely blissful. Everything was finished to a high standard. Our elderly, but escape professional beagle walked the perimeter of the garden several times and couldn’t escape so we could relax and enjoy the sensational views. I can’t recommend this venue or location enough for dog owners that still want luxury. The hot tub was wonderful. The bbq had everything you needed. The kitchen was better equipped then ours at home. And the bedding smelt incredible!! The photos don’t do this place justice. Thank you Anne for all your advise too picking where to take our pooch. We will be back. Highly recommend heading to Ludlow, the castle is dog friendly and only £8. And there is also Mortimer forest which has lots of amazing walks and is under shade. There is also the amazing Ludlow farm shop which has a great dog friendly cafe and pub. Across from the shop is an estate that is a great walk too.
