A lovely & quiet B&B within beautiful surroundings. Despite being close to a road, it was ultra quiet due to the location within the grounds. Walking distance to the village & pub. Breakfast was great as you were able to tick box as little or as much as you liked which suited us both. Kevin the host was polite & pleasant. Thankyou & we will visit again.

Location, location, location. And some.
Beautiful location and friendly, helpful owners. The location in a small village gave us opportunities to explore locally. Our hosts provided a set of circular walking maps that gave us access to our reason to be there. Stunning countryside and a really nice pub serving very good food made our stay complete. Would happily return to stay again.

A really lovely b&b. Greeted by Kevin on arrival and shown straight to our room looking out over the beautiful garden. Breakfast was substantial and fantastic with plenty of choice. We would definitely stay again. Meeting Bella and Hardy was an added bonus! Thank you for sharing your fabulous garden with us.

Excellent B&B
Fantastic - lovely room and en-suite - never seen so many towels! Tea/coffee/biscuits in room. Breakfast - served to our room was excellent and the quality of the coffee was as good as it gets. Lovely friendly couple and we will return next time we visit the area. And a big plus for us; we could recharge our EV whilst we slept.

Lovely trip to Hereford
We had a lovely 3 night stay. The accommodations was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring that part of the country. Hereford itself was great for restaurants in the evening and only a 5-10 minute drive away. Highly recommend a trip to Symons Yat beautiful views of the valley. Claire and Kevin were really lovely and genuinely interested in where we were going for the day and how it was when we got back. Also the breakfast was fab and loads of it !!! My eyes were bigger then my belly when I ordered the night before 😂

A really nice place in the Wye Valley
Spent a couple of nights at The Bowens B&B and it was lovely. Really attentive owner. Breakfast in the garden. The renovated room was big enough and the bathroom was quite large. The water pressure was not great, but that's to be expected in an old property. Good quality wifi throughout, onsite parking. A couple of nice pubs within a short drive. A good base to explore the Wye Valley.

A memorable few days in a b&b.
Stayed in one of the rooms situated outside the main house. It was lovely being quiet, roomy, clean and comfortable. Everything you would need inc. Kettle etc. Plus fresh milk if needed. Were lucky enough to have sunny days to enjoy a delicious breakfast in the lovely garden. Hosts were welcoming and informative. Village pretty with nice walks around the area. Definitely need a car to visit local attractions.

From the friendly welcome, comfortable room, fabulous breakfast, and glorious village location, everything about our stay here exceeded our expectations. Of particular note was the delicious breakfast served in the beautiful garden. The owners could not have looked after us better.

Peaceful Location 5 Star Accommodation
We had a lovely relaxing 4 day break at The Bowens B&B. The rooms are set behind the main house in a small courtyard. These rooms are very spacious with beautiful views of the garden and surrounding countryside. Everything has been thought of from storage space, plug points & lovely bathroom - the small entrance area to the courtyard rooms is ideal for storing muddy boots! There are lots of stunning local walks a shop, pubs - we can recommend the Green Man - and gift shop. The garden is lovely to relax in and just watch the birds.
