The Old Vicarage Reviews

Maureen
Wonderful place to stay. We had a mixture of adults and children and the facilities entertained all ages. The hot tub was used extensively and the table tennis in use every day. The rooms were good and the garden a joy to be in.
Yvonne
The house was well equipped, warm and cosy amid the most beautiful garden adorned with swathes of snowdrops for our February minibreak. The kitchen diner was spacious and a focal point for our family gathering and the two dishwashers were well used as you would expect with a party of twelve. There was an instruction folder about all house information kept in the kitchen and email instructions beforehand giving clear information about the house and directions to the property. All were helpful. Lots of footpaths closeby to explore the countryside for the active members of the group. We had a wonderful weekend with our children and grandchildren, all leisure activities were happily tried, tested and enjoyed.
By far the best, most well equipped holiday home in a stunning setting that we have ever stayed in. Here I found the kitchen of my dreams. The grounds and outdoor facilities were beautiful. We were sad to leave. A few minor niggles more teaspoons, some larger, flatter puddingpasta bowls, a mirror over the washbasin in the family bathroom and magnified shaving mirrors in all bathrooms would be greatly appreciated. Some toys in situ for small children would have made our stay perfect. Pat
Lovely comfortable and stylish house. Lots of homely touches, books, films, games. Great garden. Highly recommend.
Loved this property. Very helpful hosts. Great location. Wonderful for families of all ages. The list of what is available at the property is super helpful. Would love to return.
Spacious, exceedingly well equipped property. Comfortable with great provision for families. Lovely garden and grounds.
We had a lovely holiday in this beautiful house and garden and enjoyed all the facilities.
Rachel
The hosts had thought of everything you could possibly need. The house was perfect.
The owner was very accommodating as were were arranging a big 70th birthday. The facilities were great and the caterers loved the kitchen with the large range ovens. The garden were immaculate and the dogs loved running in the big fields beside the house. It was perfect for our family get together and we would highly recommend it anyone looking for a large house to rent. The hot tub was joyous and there were plenty of plastic glasses supplied to be used there!
It was a lovely cottage in beautiful grounds and close to local walks. We loved the games facilities as well as the hot tub and log fire. We had a great relaxing holiday. The process of key collection was straightforward and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Would recommend the house to large families or a large group.
We had a fantastic week at the old vicarage 7 adults and 3 children plenty of room for all and the gardens are amazing the kids loved running round and enjoyed the climbing frame. The adults obviously took full advantage of the hot tub!!!! Great house, bedrooms great sized and it has all that you need. Great week had by all!!!!
Probably the most helpful owner I've worked with in many bookings. The House is well equipped, well maintained and the grounds including a meadow are a delight. Little or nothing to fault and a great base for the area and Hay Festival.

We had a great week. The kitchen facilities suited us really well and lots of great food was cooked, served and eaten. We loved the sauna and the hot tub we had no reservations about the hot tub as someone came to check it for us every day. We easily found great walking in the area looking back towards the Old Vicarage from the top of the Black Mountains was the highlight. We ate one night at the bridge at Michaelchurch Escely as recommended by the owners and by the Sunday Times lovely food etc. We recommend the Old Vicarage to anyone who wants to spent time in this beautiful area.
This is a very well placed house for getting around the Ross On Wye area. 10 miles from Hay on Wye which is also brilliant. The house itself is wonderful. Everything has been thought of and very clear instructions provided for everything. Large and very clean rooms, plenty of space for everybody. Lovely decoration throughout. Plenty of parking for all. 3 fridges!! Amazing. Great cooking facilities with all utensils provided and the dishwasher thank goodness. The house is plenty warm enough with clear instructions how to change it if not. Spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms including 2 ensuites. There are some lovely pubs in the area with one being about 3 minutes away on the same road the Mill which is excellent. A lovely family get together in a beautiful house. Thank you.
Sheila
