  Comfort and style

  Left on 09/28/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  This property has it all. Well appointed, comfortable accommodation combined with a lovely setting with excellent views from every aspect. The owner greeted us warmly and we were provided with a welcome pack containing local produce. The area is ideal for walkers or for exploring the area by car. I cannot think of a single way this property could be improved. However the spiral staircase to the bedroom could present problems to less mobile visitors.

  Great little hideaway

  Left on 03/09/2010 for a stay in December 2009
  
  

  Howle Hideaway is a real gem hidden in the depth's of the Herefordshire countryside.
  
  The house has been beautifully decorated throughout to a very high standard and was a real 'cosy' place to stay as a couple. The property had a very large open plan lounge and kitchen with the bedroom on the first floor (via a quite tight spiral staircase).
  
  The owners of the property were very helpful and were willing to help out when we encountered problems with the weather (it snowed very heavily when we were there). There is also a lovely pub about a mile away which does grea food.
  
  All in all a great little hideaway for a romantic getaway from it all!
