Mortimers Croft is a tranquil haven, we stayed for a weekend and we really enjoyed every minute from relaxing in the hot tub to taking a local walk. We went to Hay on Wye which is well worth a visit.

Jacqueline

The property is absolutely perfect, well equipped with everything you need. Hosts VERY friendly and helpful. Available is a information pack on the use of all equipment in the property, plus info on local places of interest and walks. The vast woods back onto the property and ideal for dog walking and trekking if desired. The hot tub was a added bo nus and enhanced the whole experience of a stress free relaxing break. Very happy. Already booked for later this year.

Shaun

Spotless and perfect for all our needs stunning location and walks, fantastic owners very helpful and polite Faultless

Nicola

Lovely little cottage in a remote area. New, well equipped and host was very welcoming. Weather was a bit hit and miss but we managed a short spell in the jacuzzi which was very relaxing. Great walking trails on the doorstep, lovely views, horses in the surrounding fields but sadly no private garden area surrounding the cottage so our dog had to be restrained while outside. The hosts have everything else covered, outdoor dog wash and doggy towels, welcome pack, washing line, robes and slippers.

Sarah

Beautiful converted holiday accommodation, stylish as well as practical. In the most perfect location especially if you have a dog as walks right from the accommodation instead of having to use car. Peaceful and idyllic well away from any roads.

Gill

We had a three night break and it really was a refreshing and relaxing break. The cottage is very well equipped, clean and welcoming. We made use of the hot tub after long rambling walks straight out from the cottage - we didn't move the car once. Lots of varied countryside to amble around in and the proximity to NT's Croft Castle is excellent. Fiv e stars from us.

Gordon

We had a very relaxing stay at Mortimer's Croft. Our dog had great walks on the doorstep and the property is ideally suited for exploring rural Herefordshire. The description and photographs of the Croft, on the website, provides an accurate overview of this unique property. Rob and Kate were both very welcoming and provided local insight when aske d. The welcome pack and comprehensive instruction booklet were greatly appreciated. All in all, a great little property and a wonderful holiday.

Ben

Had an amazing time, some really nice walks through the woods and lots of places to visit. Will be recommending to friends and family. We will definitely be stopping here again in the future. The hosts are brilliant and will go out of there way to make your stay more enjoyable.

Sophie-leigh
