The accomodation was not furnished with plates cutlery etc that was so clearly ‘old’ that you felt like boxing it up and depositing in a skip somewhere! The sheets and towels were good quality as well and it was lovely not to be able to see through them! This house was clean, well placed for all we wanted to see and we would recommend to anyone wanting a little more for their money than a view! All up, we would recommend and return ourselves when next in England. Well done owners Meadow Lea!!

Mr Wratten, September 2019

All rooms generous in size with room for table in the kitchen.. The dining room has a 6'x4' Table with chairs as well as two armchairs. A well looked-after bungalow with good quality fittings and equipment. Marvellous views from the sitting room, dining room and main bedroom. Extremely good value for money. The heating is now all gas so no fuel-oil smell. Difficult to find any faults. Some dusty corners. It would have been usful to have hooks for dressing gown in the bathroom and bedroom.

The location was very good for stately homes, castles, gardens etc. which we were interested in, plus Ludlow and Leominster. What a lovely setting in the heart of the country with farm animals (cows) to welcome us. Such a comfortable cottage; a place to relax after a day of site seeing. I would go back there in a heart beat.

The bungalow was lovely, I could live there full time. The garden area was great to sit in; peaceful, quiet and we saw quite a lot of wild life. The position it was located in which was great for seeing the surrounding areas. We were blessed with perfect weather which was a bonus.

Mr Kerins

The bungalow was just about perfect for us (2 adults, plus 2 children with walking difficulties). It has a great layout, plus it feels so much bigger within than it looks from the outside. There was a lovely view from the front and a pleasant quiet garden at the back. A 10/10 for this lovely property - I would gladly return.

Spent a very happy week in Meadow Lea at the beginning of april. Clean, quiet, very well equipped and a delicious cake of arrival. Stunning views across the valley to the River Lugg. Good, efficient central heating and plenty of parking.

Mr Wallis

The farm cottage has a marvellous view to the east across the Lugg valley. It was quiet and the nearby road is in a dip so there is only the occasional sound of a passing car. There are no street lights anywhere so the stars are visible at night. It is well placed for visiting Herefordshire and south Shropshire. The owners are first class hosts.
