Swinmoor House Reviews

Lisa

This is an amazing house with superb facilities for larger groups/families in a fantastic location. Everything about the property worked very well for our group of 4 separate couples. We made use of the hot tub and games room too. I would highly recommend this property to others.

Thomas

We could not fault anything about Swinmoor house, it is finished and furnished to a very high standard and exceeded all our expectations. There was plenty of parking for our party of ten and the five cars that we arrived with.

Susan

We had a great week here, the house was beautiful, extremely well equipped, and luxurious. Lots for the children as well, masses of space to run around ond both indoor and ourdoor things for them to do. We appreciated the electric car charger.

Owners were fantastic, gave so much information about property and area, a beautiful property with lots of finer details you really like when away. Walks for dogs were lovely and red lion pub has really nice food. Thankyou Swinmoor !

Richard

This is a lovely property and our family - eight adults - had a great time. The weather wasn't the best but we still enjoyed the beautiful garden with games of volley ball, croquet and badminton. The huge dining table was perfect for board games. And my sons' obsession with hot tubs was satisfied by a big comfortable tub. The location is beautiful,Read more and very convenient with a big supermarket around 12 minutes away. The surrounding countryside is glorious. Highly recommended. Hide

Alison

Beautiful spacious property in a truly stunning, tranquil location. We were very lucky to have fab weather so the addition of a hot tub added to our precious family time away.

Marcus

Very nice well equipped property in a countryside location with good outlook. Suitably situated for quiet walks out but near enough to making driving to popular attractions practical. We had a nightly visit from a Barn owl and its' fledgling to one of the large garden trees. Very charming

Beautiful property, well maintained in a peaceful location. The owner was so helpful and went above and beyond for us even before we got there. When we did get to the property we had a lovely welcome gift, that was a real treat and a lovely surprise. Everywhere was spotless and not one of us could find any fault. Fabulous stay, will definitely b ba ck!

Sian

We had the most amazing time staying at Swinmoor House. We have stayed in varying properties for our annual girlie's trip and this property was just stunning! The decor was beautiful, the beds so comfortable, the games room fun and the hot tub just perfect! Joanna had provided us with details of a local mobile spa which we booked for our stay. We s hopped in Hereford which was approx 15-20 min drive away. A perfect balance of relaxation, fun with friends and shopping..what more could a girl want

Fiona

The perfect holiday home ! We wanted for nothing . Luxury but felt like a home too . Great for a large family group as plenty of space . The cinema room, hot tub and games room made it really special . The garden is beautiful even in November .

Tricia

Stunning house in a beautiful setting with wonderful views across the valley. We were a three generational group and it suited us perfectly. The games room and hot tub were particular favourites and very well used. The hosts could not have been more welcoming or helpful and we found plenty to do in the local area to entertain both the children and the adults. We visited during the Autumn but it is so comfortable and well equipped it would be ideal any time of year.

Sharon

Amazing property with great hosts with everything you need for a special memory making getawayWe had the best time and the house had everything you could need - including wonderful grounds and views..

John

The house was amazing and in a wonderful location Perfect in every way Thank you so much

Sally

Attention to detail here was brilliant and all the little touches like the games, walks, books, dog bowls etc greatly appreciated. Would have no hesitation in recommending Swinmoor to friends.

Stephen

The owners could not have been morning welcoming and helpful. The property was everything we needed for a party of 10 (5 couples). It was well equipped and comfortable. There was real attention to detail. The hot tub was an unexpected pleasure!

Sandy

Swinmoor House was comfortable and spacious There was a well-equipped games room where we spent many happy hours. The cinema room and hot tub were other favourites. Clear nights allowed sky gazing and we had colourful sunsets over the Black Mountains. The house was the perfect base to visit surrounding attractions. We had fun celebrating 2 birthday s and a wedding anniversary. A bottle of champagne greeted us on arrival and Joanna was always available to answer questions. A perfect week.

Carol

10 of us stayed for a week in this beautiful house, Stunning views, plenty of space. We had fun and games as there was pool/table tennis, Darts plus a few other games. So whatever the weather there was always something to do. Hot tub on the patio with beautiful views. Owner and Housekeeper very accommodating.

Matthew

A perfect venue for 3 generation family holiday. Loads of space to spread out and very well equipped kitchen, with secure garden for 3 children under 5 years to race around. Everything was good quality with amply crockery (and picnic plates) for all our needs. Emails from Joanna before arriving made us feel very welcome as did a bottle of chilled c hampagne! Swinmoor is rural but Hereford is only about 20 minutes drive away. With young children and a heatwave we didn't bother.

Jayne

Amazing house, garden, view from the hot tub at sunset and games room . Everything you could wish for to make a memorable and special time ! Thanks to Joanna for being the perfect host ,helpful and attentive with little details . Can't wait to return in the future !

David

Swinmoor House is not a Holiday Cottage. It is a beautiful 5 bedroom property with games room, hot tub and every other beautiful bit of gorgeous furniture you could ever wish for. As you would expect it is not cheap but if you divide the weekly cost by the number of people it accommodates it is pretty good value per head. The only tiny negative is that whilst the location is stunning it is a bit of a distance from the major tourist areas, like Symonds Yat..

Nicola

Fantastic holiday home, elegantly furnished and luxurious. Really well equipped with lovely quality items and lots of space for all our family. Hot tub and gardens were amazing too. Games room was a huge success with us all. Some special touches such as provision of robes were much appreciated and the on demand ice from fridge/freezer was enjoyed a s we had fabulous weather. Good location for exploring Hereford and Hay on Wye, both great places. Would highly recommend, great place to stay.

Kerry

What an absolute stunning property, it has to be the nicest place weve ever stayed. Quality family time away from the stresses at home is just what we needed. We will definitely be back!!

Rob

Our family group have stayed in a lot of nice properties, but Swimoor tops the lot! Wonderful living space with great views and Joanna is the perfect host

Katherine

Swinmoor House and annexe are in a lovely peaceful location., with plenty of walks on your doorstep. The house was well equipped with everything you need. The games room was fantastic for the younger members of the family. The dogs enjoyed staying there too whilst keeping an eye on the sheep grazing in their field opposite the house! We will defini tely be booking to stay here again in the future.

Lorraine

This is a beautiful property in a stunning location. There is plenty of options available for family and friends to enjoy quality time together - whether this is in the games room, watching a film, or gazing out at the amazing views - and also enough space to enjoy some quieter time for individual activities. We were well looked after by the very f riendly and attentive team that manage the house and gardens In summary we would highly recommend this property for a memorable holiday.

Rebecca

Such a comfortable, stylish and well equipped house for celebrating two thirtieth birthdays with three generations. Lovely area with lots to do and great places for eating out. It was stormy during our stay but the main lounge is gorgeously snug with the log burner and we even managed to relax in the hot tub. Joanna was excellent at communicating a t all stages. The separate cottage was a real bonus. Wish wed had longer.
