Detached ONE LEVEL stone barn (Rowan Cottage)

Lovely views and walks from the door. Comfortable and having 2 shower rooms was good. We were lucky with the weather and could sit outside.

Just from a pet owner point of view I would have liked some kind of enclosure for our barn and from a child friendly point of view it would keep them a way from the pond!! You could separate with a wire fence that does not take away from the view.

The cooker was very slow and the TV could only find BBC programmes through i-Player with no catch-up, it seemed. There were no booklets about any of the appliances to help usage.

The location was peaceful and rural. The open plan kitchen, living dining room was a nice layout. The sofas were comfortable.

There were more cobwebs than there should be if the property is cleaned between guests. The iron wheel feature was dusty. The ensuite reeked of urine. It seemed the seat had absorbed a lot as it was very stained underneath, it needs replacing. The extractor is hanging off the cooker. The two single beds had long hairs on the sheets. The double bed had a flat sheet on it that was not big enough to cover the sides of the mattress. There were bits of ribbon on the light fittings in the lounge and sellotape on a beam as if someone had cut down decorations without leaving it tidy. There were holes in the wall in the small bedroom that need polyfillering. The kettle was rusty inside and had no filter to stop that ending up in your mug. One of the single duvets was a very thin summer one. If I hadn't had brought my own blanket, I would have been too cold under the double duvet as there were no extra blankets. There was only one coat hanger in the wardrobe. I could not find a dustpan which would be useful. There are only three cereal bowls for a place that sleeps 4. Host read my message saying what time we would arrive but did not acknowledge it.

Lovely location very clean everything we needed

Single beds probably only for children one is very low to the floor could do with extra pillows as we all use 3

Very clean and well looked after place. Everything worked as it should - heating, kitchen, lights, toilets. The space was perfect for 4 adults spending 2 nights together.

Cobwebs on the wooden beams and the mattresses / beds weren't the best or comfortable.

Beautiful, so comfortable , brilliant location close to Monmouth and lovely Usk. Jay and the team couldn’t do enough for us. Easy check in. So warm and cosy, everything we needed. Will definitely recommend.

Although it was lovely and warm, at night….maybe a couple of extra blankets for the beds.

Location was very good and directions easy. It was very cosy and warm and plenty of space for us and our dog

Bed was very small and fixtures all a bit dated. Felt a bit dusty in there and lots of cobwebs but bathrooms very clean and nice hot water. The extractor fan above cooker was hanging off and the cooker took ages to heat up

A perfect place in a very calm and quiet environment.
