Very quiet location except for the moo cows . Remote but easily accessible. Plenty of parking space. Beautiful property with everything you could possibly need. Magical bed for a generally poor sleeper and luxurious bathroom and fluffy towels. Were sad to leave but look forward to returning. Would highly recommend for those after peace and tranquility but with lots to do within a short drive.

Lovely cottage, comfy bed and good quality bedding and towels. The bathroom was huge with a bath and walk-in shower. The cottage is situated down a quiet country lane so it was very quiet and peaceful yet it was just only over 10 minutes to Ross on Wye.

Beautiful Cottage

Acorn Cottage is a wonderful retreat for 2. It is in a great location, and has every amenity you could wish for. It is close to Ross-on-Wye with plenty of shops and Supermarkets should you need extra's. We were warmly welcomed by Pam & Geoff the owners. Couldn’t recommend this property more.

A wonderful stay

Weve been to little howle farm before and loved it, so we were thrilled to be able to come back and stay for a post-Christmas relax. The property was exactly as we remembered it from last time and we had a lovely stay - thankyou! The property has everything you could think of needing for a self catered experience and is so cosy. Knocked one star off the check in process because noone was around when we tried to drop the keys back on check out and we didnt really know what to do! Didnt impact upon the overall outcome of our wonderful stay though.

The Highlight of our Trip

Our stay at Acorn Cottage, Little Howle Farm has been an absolute delight. The hosts, Amanda and Derek catered for our every need and the cottage was meticulously maintained with special touches such as scones, cream and jam. The whole cottage speaks quality, with a comfy king mattress, a wonderful bathroom and comfortable living areas. It is warm and inviting with thoughtful surprises throughout the cottage. This cottage should be on your list!! Thank you again Amanda and Derek. Your attention to detail, kindness and care for us and your community is amazing!!

Got to go back wow

Wow what a fantastic place. If you want piece and quite in comfort then this is the place for you. It’s in a very quite place out in the country side piece and quite. The cottage is very comfortable with all that you need. We slept so well going past 9 o’clock every morning due to the piece and quite. Star gazing, country walks fresh air it’s all here. A short drive takes on to Ross on Wye town with all that you need , pubs, restaurants and tea shops. You must see Simonds Yat, park up and walk to the top fantastic views. Pam and Geoff are great hosts and live just across the yard, they are there if you need them but you never see them , they leave you to enjoy your holiday. Canoeing down the Wye is a must , we didn’t do this as the river was to high and dangerous, we are going back to do this. We are booked in for next year, can’t wait.

Ross-on-Wye Holiday

We found the property quaint and yet modern internally, everything was provided, and if you did require anything you just had to ask Amanda and Derek. The holiday cottage was under two miles from Ross-on-Wye, which was very convenient, also you were in the middle of the Wye valley, overall very nice.

Like being in a beautiful French chateau

What a lovely place. The bathroom alone was worth the stay but the overall comfiness and the quality and range of provision and the thought behind it is top drawer. Amanda and Derek are cheerful, welcoming and very knowledgeable hosts. Highly recommended.

Short breakaway

Wonderful experience from start to finish. It was so easy to book and we had great communication from Amanda the owner. The property was gorgeous, it had those little extras that just made everything so special and even some wonderful homemade cake! Perfect. We really loved our stay and would definitely recommend.

A lovely little gem!

The cottage was a brilliant base for exploring Ross-on-Wye and further afield. The accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and top-notch. Derek and Amanda were most kind and welcoming, and there are Craft Classes available, if desired. The property has the use of a large garden and bbq It is only about 4 miles from Ross-on-Wye and has easy access to Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Gloucester, Ledbury, Monmouth etc. There are lots of good walking trails in the vicinity and further afield:-Symonds Yat, Tintern Abbey plus good restaurants in Ross and many local pub hostelries to whet your appetite. Can highly recommend.

Perfect Break

First class accommodation with great attention to detail. Amanda couldn’t have done any more to makes us feel at home. From a bottle of wine and a pint of milk on arrival to home baked scones the following day. Would not hesitate to recommend Little Howle Farm.

Delightful - a joy

Amanda and Derek were brilliant hosts. From the moment we arrived their commitment to their guests was clear. The property has been refurbished to a high standard with lots of small touches to make it interesting. The grounds are good for sitting out and enjoying the weather and a glass of something. It was a joy to chat to Amanda and Derek around the property and their advice on places to eat and where to go was spot on. Highly recommended.

Home from home

From the very start of our trip to Acorn Cottage, Little Howle Farm was trouble free. Communications, directions to the property, the property itself all were amazing. The property has everything you need and more. The little touches that make it special were all around us - Mice and duck included. The warm welcome by Amanda when we arrived was topped by the welcome of homemade scones, jam and cream to go with or cup of tea - a pint of milk and bottle of wine was waiting for us in the fridge. The best nights sleep away we've had in a long while - the mattress was soo comfortable. All in all a perfect place to stay. Beautiful scenery surrounds you. A visit to Ross on Wye, Goodrich Castle are a must. We would highly recommend this property to everyone.
