Silhouette Cottage

The space, the cleanliness and the comfort. The responsiveness of the owner.

Lovely cottage BUT .,,…..

Not very dog friendly. We knew that the garden was not secure ? Would be so easy to at least fence of the bbq area) but wasn’t told dogs had to stay down stairs ( there was a fine of £50 plus if the dogs went on the duvets ) also the stair case was so steep if we had brought my mum as planned there is no way she would of made it up the stairs. She would have gave to slept downstairs on the settee !!!!!!! Also there is a disused pond I the garden- no warning as very cleverly planted. Looked like the garden. But there is still lots of horrid slurry water in in and depp enough for our dogs to swim and need a total wash. Which was very difficult as they went allowed up stairs to the bath toom !!!! No fence or warning. Thank goodness we didn’t bring my mother and grand kids an originally planned as the garden and house was totally u suitable. Especially the stair case

Very happy with the cottage, very comfortable and clean. Well equipped kitchen although I did miss my airfryer. Central heating was easy to understand. Tried to get a fire going in the evenings but not very successful (hubbys technique I think) I do think it would be good to mention steepness of staircase in info- not a problem for us, but would certainly be for anyone with disabilities. Also, the garden is not enclosed, and therefore not dog friendly. Luckily our dog likes to stay by our side. The bench /table outside the front window is not very stable. 2 people sat on the same side will topple it ( as we found out ) The BBQ needs replacing ready for the good weather. We still had a wonderful weekend, so please just take comments as constructive criticism. I would love to see the garden in its full glory, and would happily return .

In relation to my needs of nearby dog walks and pub the property was perfect. The rooms were large and airy. The garden was lovely but due to the rain we didn't really use it. It was quiet and very well equipped. The property was also very private. The welcome carrot cake was very much appreciated

My only real want would be a gate of some sort to make the garden secure enough for me to let my dog run around. I wouldn't leave the dog out alone but it would make for a more relaxed experience

Location was great for exploring Monmouth, Symonds Yat Rock and Tintern Abbey. Lovely pub close by which was great. Cottage was very comfortable and cosy. Very well equipped and the cake waiting for us on arrival was a nice touch.

Perfect cottage with lots of charm. Everything we needed for a walking weekend The bed was so comfortable after a day of walking and lovely to be in a warm place
