Lovely little cottage

Ideal for walkers. There are lots of walks from the door, and they are all clearly way marked. The cottage is very well equipped with some nice extra touches to make you feel welcome. No improvements needed.

Stayed as a couple with a dog.

The cottage is in a stunning area with so many fantastic walks and options for things to do. It's such a peaceful place with only bird sounds around. We immediately felt at home in the cottage itself, which is beautifully decorated and one of the best equipped places we've stayed at. The owners really have thought of everything! The garden was also adored by our dog. It's fully secure and leads straight out from the living room and bedroom. Would love to stay here again!

An absolute gem of a stay.

We really loved staying here. The accommodation was perfect and the thoughtfulness of the provisions was exceptional. From the welcoming pack to drying room, first aid box, maps and local info and dog treats. The area is just stunning with loads to do if you like the outdoors. Great food offerings locally too. The only thing we missed was not being able to have a window open in the main bedroom. We couldn’t figure out how to open the velux.

Hello Caroline, Thank you for your review. I am glad you had a lovely stay and that you were able to enjoy the welcome package. It really does help make a holiday retreat feel like a comforting home away from home. I hope you will book with us again in the future.

Hermon Bach

Amazing surroundings, very beautiful place. Great start points of many adventures. We felt very welcome and had a great stay. Could use a thorough cleaning. Dust and dirt in the corners. Vacuum not usable, full of hair and smell of dogs. Probably most suitable for people with own dog who don't mind the dog smell in the house.

Fabulous location and cottage

Everything !! I’ve never stayed in a property so well equipped . We were cold as we didn’t expect such cold weather in June/July . The fire wouldn’t light due to few fire lighters and no kindling being available .

Blissful remote retreat in a cosy and convenient home full of charm and character.

We had a fantastic stay. Hermon Bach offers a sublime retreat surrounded by stunning hillside and woodlands accessed up a single track lane. The home is incredibly characterful and cosy with everything you could need provided for your stay. The rooms are beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and retain all their original character whilst offering reliable and convenient modern devices and facilities. We particularly loved the deep bath, hot shower and comfy beds! We were also especially touched by the hugely generous and thoughtful welcome pack of foods and drinks awaiting us on arrival. The check-in and check-out via lockbox was seamless and communication and access to information was clear and comprehensive throughout. I recommend Hermon Bach without reservation and would be delighted to stay again!

Lovely forest cottage

Lovely snug cottage, tucked away in the forest. Well equipped, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Generous Christmas treats a very kind touch! Worth telling guests that the neighbours are close - we know this area well/ were aware of the proximity to the neighbouring house. Not for anyone bothered by yappy dogs! Also … the key safe - tell people exactly where it is. Walked right round the cottage before looking in the shed. The most obvious key safe (straight ahead as you walk in) is redundant. The actual key safe is behind the door. Had a ‘fun’ few moments working this out!!’
