Sunnybank is a most welcoming and cosy cottage with plenty of room for dogs. There is even a fully fenced dog park two minutes walk along the road.

Everything was very acceptable and we had a fantastic week. The only shortfall, and this may sound a little over the top, was that there were not any toilet brushes available!! A lovely holiday, nice weather, wonderful scenery, thank you very much indeed.

Welcoming, charming and well stocked house in beautiful surroundings. A lot of thought has gone into the furnishings, information and equipment which is all of high quality. We felt at home as soon as we stepped in the door. Comfortable beds, sofas and high water pressure in new bathrooms, better than home!! Family friendly but would also be ideal Read morefor an older party. Great location near Hay and other Wye activities. We hope to return. Hide
