The whole house is a beautiful experience, nicely kept, big bedrooms with ensuites, big space on ground floor, lots of fridges and well furnished and stocked Kitchen with lots of kitchen ware and glasses. We cooked over 2 days with absolutely no problems for a family group of 46 mixed adults and children from 4yrs to 61years all found themselves enjoying. The grounds are huge we played outside, BBQ is big we had 3 stands all men enjoyed. The views are amazing with the river meandering down the valley. You can go down for walks or cycling along the river. Alison and Kim were great in managing our booking and queries.

Ye Old Ferrie Inn was lovely for a riverside walk and then lunch. The butterfly zoo was great fun; Raglan castle was interesting for those who like history. The house was lovely - everything we had hoped for. It allowed us to have a comfortable family get together and all be together, without feeling cramped

The garden area was particularly useful with the full age range that we had. Kim was very helpful in responding to various issues during the week. One thought would be to increase the amount of cupboard space in the kitchen for a food cupboard. It was difficult on the first night organising two large supermarket deliveries into the kitchen. Also, many thanks to BHHL as agents. They were swift & efficient in dealing with us before the week. Edward's Plaice chip shop in Hereford. They were very accommodating in organising a large order by click n collect on the same day some of us were in town. Spa Day for group at Holmer Park in Hereford. The group had an excellent day. Visiting the Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral. Canoeing on the river. Long walk in and around Symonds Yat - the viewpoint at the top & crossing the river by cable ferry at the bottom

Misbah Tandoori in Monmouth. A comfortable function room that can seat 30 but was ideal for our group of 18. Goodrich Castle (English Heritage) is only five minutes away. Lots of countryside and river walks, plus canoe hire on the river at Ross on Wye. The house is spacious, including bedrooms and gardens.

Stunning views! Lovely grounds. Beautiful rooms. Perfect for a big family get together. We hired the cottage in addition for extra bedrooms, but used the main house for cooking, dining etc. The kitchen and oven space is just big enough. Would have loved some trays for carrying things between kitchen and dining room/second dishwasher/garden! All in all it was a lovely stay and perfect for a big family reunion. Many thanks

Great location and lovely spacious house. An extra toilet roll in each of the bathrooms would have been appreciated as we had to send someone out to buy some. Recommended days out are Ross on Wye & Symonds Yat

As most of us are full-time NHS workers, we wanted a relaxing weekend getaway with our families. We had a great time in the house planning our own indoor activities and enjoying time together. The beauty of the place is unmatched, especially the trek down to the River Wye. Very spacious house, especially the living room and the kitchen.

We had a fantastic time going to Raglan Castle. There was a lot to explore there and the kids loved it. We also had an amazing day out at the Forest of Dean. The playground and sculpture trail were great. We loved the size of the property and that there were good communal spaces both in the lounge and outside. The grounds are lovely and gave the children plenty of room to play and explore. There was a decent amount of fridge space to accommodate us all and the ovens were sufficient too. We enjoyed the table football for the little-uns and games room for the adults. All in all, it was a great space for 9 families to stay and catch up with friends. Thank you Pencraig Court!

We stayed at Pencraig for a gathering of friends including children of various ages. Pencraig is set up perfectly with various bedrooms catering 2 - 5 people and lots of space for everyone to enjoy. The garden is a great size and the views are beautiful. The kitchen had everything you could need and it was all very homely.

The whole experience was brilliant, From booking to the stay itself. Everything with the house was perfect for what we needed. The welcome box of chocolates and birthday ballon were a lovely touch. The garden was gorgeous and luscious. We loved the kitchen and that it was fully stocked with all the equipment etc. We made good use of the games rooms and appreciated how much there was to do in the house itself. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to gather a large group of friends. The surrounding area was stunning. Recommeds Canoeing on the river Wye

We had a great family weekend at Pencraig Court. We rented the house and cottage as we were a big party, celebrating 2 significant birthdays. The owners Gordon and Anastasia are delightful and really helpful and the house and grounds are wonderful, with fantastic views over the Wye valley

Puzzlewood is great for young children. We also enjoyed Clearwell Caves with our 9 and 11 year olds. Some of our party walked to Goodrich from the house and enjoyed that. Ross has a lovely riverside area for picnics. Symonds Yat is great for walking/climbing/canoeing. We really appreciated the owner coming over to introduce our 2 and 5 year old to the chickens and other animals

We spent most of the weekend at the accommodation. The huge garden provided plenty of entertainment. We rented a bouncy castle from a local company and used the provided BBQ facilities. The accommodation was perfect for a large group. Plenty of space and bedrooms for us all. The owners were so friendly to deal with. They gave us a tour of the property when we arrived and promptly answered questioned when contacted during our stay. The property was clean and had everything available that we needed. We are considering booking again for next year!

Pencraig Court will hold such a special place in my heart. We had our wedding here at the beginning of September and it was just magical. The house is so gorgeous, all our guests were blown away with it, as were we. There's ample of space and well equipped. The grounds are breath taking with the lovely view of the River Wye. Anastasia & Gordon were incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be booking again to stay with everyone, we can't wait to come back.

BHHL communicated excellently throughout. As did the owners of Pencraig-court, the property that we rented for a stag party over 3 nights. There were 25 attendees and everyone commented about how nice the house was. It had everything that we needed and the setting was amazing. There's a café a 1 minute walk from the house that does a decent breakfast so was ideal.

The house was perfect for a family gathering. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and the living space was perfect for us to all spend time together. The weekend that we stayed was really hot and so the people who manage the property went and got us additional fans as the rooms at the top of the house were quite warm. The owners were easily contactable and resolved an issue for us. We will definitely come back to this property and use BHHL again. Thank you for a really super weekend.

Sarasin's Head - accommodated 20 people for and evening meal a very short notice. Food was lovely and service was warm and friendly both Monmouth and Ross on Wye are worth a visit - lovely river walks, pubs, cafes and shops and both are only minutes away by car. Symonds Yat is an excellent area by the river and again only a few minutes away. I would highly recommend SYMONDS YAT CANOE HIRE. We dealt with Guy, a great guide and instructor, and everything was good value. We had the best day. Also nice walk close by.
