Fantastic cottage. Really homely with everything you need and the most beautiful garden.

Bernadette

Lovely cottage. Very clean and comfortable with a beautiful garden. Hosts very helpful and we were able to lock up our bikes which was a real bonus. Lovely towels and linen. House was lovely and warm and although the fire was ready to light we didn't need it. Nice area for cycling and walking only wish we had had more time.

A beautiful house in a perfect spot. Set in such a beautiful and serene place. If you need a peaceful and relaxing week away this is the place for you!

Lovely house, as described in the listing. Really beautiful garden, friendly hosts, no complaints at all. Fab!

A spacious and comfortable cottage, but the best bit is the beautiful and restful garden. We were very lucky with the weather and it was always a joy after being out to come back to the property and sit in the garden. Also, very friendly and helpful owners.

This was our second time at this house, and was another great week we enjoyed our time here. Definitely recommend a holiday here , the owners are very friendly and helpful.

Lower Court Byre is in a beautiful situation, had everything we needed, and had an inspirational garden. Theresa, the host, was very helpful and efficient there had been a couple of issues identified by the guests staying just before us, which she had resolved by our second day. There was nothing we could fault about this property and in fact we thought the pictures online didn't quite do it justice! The cottage is a perfect retreat if you want to get away from it all and enjoy rural life.

Mr. & Mrs. Jones were very friendly hosts, and the cottage and its gardens were delightful. It's a good base for exploring the area, and you can walk from the cottage into the fields and along the River Lugg. The only slight downside for us, which will not affect most people my partner is elderly and rather infirm and found the stairs a bit challenging.

We have had a lovely week in a very lovely cottage with the most fantastic garden. The cottage was very comfortable with comfy beds and furniture......and all you might need was provided. Such peaceful surroundings and we were even lucky enough to get loads of photos of a kingfisher sitting on the bridge. During all my years all I've ever seen of a kingfisher was a flash of blue so to actually capture photo that little chap just sitting on the bridge was amazing and one to cross off my bucket list now. We did have a problem with the internettv which wasn't the fault of the owners and Theresa really did go the extra mile to get it all working. Thank you for that.....you are a star. Thank you also for the teacoffee and milk ........and the delicious lemon drizzle cake. We won't hesitate to book again if we're visiting the area and I can honestly recommend this beautiful place to everybody. Lovely family and lovely cottage and garden. Thank you. xxx

Steven

This is a fantastic cottage made superb by the garden in lovely weather. For anyone whos visited Monets garden in Giverny, the flowering wisteria over the bridge here is so reminiscent of it. The owners have provided everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The locality is quiet but Ludlow was great as well as our trip to Malvern. Weve already booked again for next year. Thanks also for the wonderful, home made welcome cake.

Annette

One of the best cottages we have stayed in. We received a warm, friendly welcome from the owner this included some delicious cake! The cottage is spacious,cosy and comfortable with excellent amenities set in the most beautiful surroundings and a lovely peaceful garden. An ideal location for walking, cycling, birdwatching or visiting some pretty black and white villages. An ideal place to stay if you want to switch off from the stresses and strains of life.

An interesting cottage converted from a cow barn. From the road, it is nondescript but inside is well equipped and the garden with fountain was very well maintained. Owner was very pleasant and quick to respond to any issues. You get used to the creaking floor especially on the upper floor. It shows the age of the original building. Very pleasant stay.

Elaine

Beautiful and very comfortable cottage in a lovely setting, with a most delightful garden visited by a variety of birds treecreepers, bullfinch and great spotted woodpecker amongst them together with a very generous and helpful host.

Andrew

We had such a lovely time at Lower Court Byre. The daytime October weather was kind & we spent early evenings in the amazing garden just sipping wine & watching the birds & dragonflies as the sun went down. There was plenty to do in the area during the days, Hereford, Leominster & HayonWye were in easy reach as well as castles & churches etc. Our nights were spent in the cozy living room relaxing by the fire which was really well stocked with logs. The cottage itself had everything we needed & it was sad to wave it goodbye.

Elizabeth

Beautiful, spacious property with high quality bed linen and towels and a wellequipped kitchen. Tasteful decor. A friendly welcome and a superb, carefullymaintained garden that was a home for 27 species of autumnal moth. Thank you

Richard

A beautiful and charming property and garden.

Michael

The cottage was just as described, really lovely, comfortable and well equipped with a fabulous garden. We had a very relaxing stay and really enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the setting. The bird life in the garden was very diverse and we even caught fleeting glimpses of the elusive Kingfisher. Thank you.

Patrick

Very nice cottage with plenty of room and beautiful garden. The beds are comfortable and the shower had great pressure. It was a very nice touch that the owner provided tea, coffee and milk as we arrived very late. Would definitely stay again.

A superb cottage with the added enjoyment of a fabulous garden complete with pond and fountain. Varied wildlife spotted in the garden which included a Kingfisher, Woodpecker, Hedgehog, Pheasants plus many small birds which was absolutely delightful. We have enjoyed our second visit to Lower Court Byre and look forward to revisiting in the future.

Elaine

We have just returned from a great week at Lower Byre Cottage. It was clean, comfortable and bright. The garden was superb and if only we had the weather then we would have spent many happy hours in all different parts of the garden. A lemon cake and pint of milk was awaiting us on arrival and the owner Theresa and her mother Monica were lovely.

We have recently returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage. Very spacious and well appointed. We particularly liked the large colourful garden where we spent many hours reading, relaxing and listening to the birdsong and fountain. Very fortunate with the weather, mid 20s and sunny, so didn't do as much sightseeing as planned. The cottage is in a very quiet and rural area, but daily supplies are available in nearby Presteigne. Owners very welcoming and friendly many thanks for the delicious cake! We will definitely return. Highly recommended. 1010 Kathleen

Patricia

The perfect cottage. Idyllic garden, absolutely stunning. Everything we could have wished for and more. I can't think of anything which let it down! Wonderful scenery and walks from the door. Nearby Prestigne has all necessary shops. Delightful owners. We felt SO lucky to have spent time here.

Joanna

We liked everything about this quaint but well modernised property and its beautiful rural setting and Monetinspired pond. When not exploring we enjoyed sitting on the patio or in the small conservatory if the weather allowed, otherwise in comfy seats in the spacious sitting room . The downstairs shower room with toilet, was small but saved journeys upstairs during the day the beds were comfortable and the heating efficient whats not to !

Jacqueline

Lower Court Byre was the best cottage we've ever stayed in. When we went out we couldn't wait to get back, to watch the wildlife in the garden. We couldn't believe that such a lovely, large, old building could be so warm and cosy. We slept like logs in the lovely, comfortable beds. Every thought had been given to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

Audrey

Lovely property. Very welcoming.only slight problem was weather.

Beautiful cottage, the owner made us feel really welcome, we had a fabulous stay, just wonderful. Very comfortable, very clean, log fires for colder evenings, just superb for us. We would recommend this cottage without reservation. Thank you for making us so welcome.

Robert

Clean, comfortable and cozy, with a beautifully landscaped garden set in peaceful and picturesque rural Herefordshire. .

Beautiful property, everything you need. Love the garden. On my repeat to visit list.

A beautiful old property with the added bonus of a magical garden full of wildlife. The house welcomes you and makes you feel at home. It is a quiet rural property with just the sounds of country living around you. The owners are most welcoming, not intrusive but available if needed.

Jeremy

This is located in a tranquil, rural spot but is only a short drive from some great attractions, walks and super eateries. The house has some lovely old features but is centrally heated and has all the creature comforts one needs. The stunning gardens with large pond fountain! are quite breathtaking and one could spend all the time simply enjoying these.

We had a wonderful week staying at this very special cottage for the second time. The location is so beautiful and the garden is magicalwe loved coming home and sitting in the garden listening to the bird song. The area is great for walkers and nature lovers with many little towns and villages which are worth exploring . Highly recommended.

Beautiful period cottage set in a quiet rural location with an absolutely fantastic garden. Very friendly and helpful owners helping to make this a holiday to remember.

Zubair

Beautiful cottage with a superb garden. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Everything was very high quality and we enjoyed the walks in the fields and the lake nearby. The pond and the bridge in the garden was amazing and fortunately we had some lovely weather for our stay. We spent hours lazing around in the garden with the fountain running. In the evening the house, including the kitchen and sitting room were very cosy with lots of things to do for all 4 of us. Amazing place and I would recommend highly to others.

A beautiful cottage in amazing grounds. Well presented, charming and very comfortable to the highest standard. We enjoyed our stay and have rebooked for 2024 already. The wildlife in the garden is a delight to observe. We give this property 10 out of 10.

Lesley
