Beautiful cottage in very peaceful and beautiful area.
Watchmakers Cottage is a delightful cottage which is very well equipped. You don't need to take anything for the kitchen with you. Max met us on arrival and showed us round the cottage. The hosts, Jenny and Max are very friendly and happy to help with anything if needed. We made use of the shaded patio area. You are also able to use their lovely gardens too. We will definitely will be back. Before we left, Jenny took us round the 2 bedroom apartment which is attached to their house. This is also very well equipped and is on this site 'Little Daffaluke'. Thank you Jenny and Mike for making our stay so comfortable. Diane and Colin

Delightful cottage in beautiful area
We spent a very enjoyable week staying at Watchmakers Cottage, inspite of the changeable British weather. The cottage is comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need, and Jenny and Max were most helpful when we had a query. We loved exploring the area and can particularly recommend Hellens Manor (Jacobean house and gardens) and Yat Rock with its breathtaking views over the Wye.

Great place to stay
The property is next to the owner's large house, which has extensive gardens for guests to visit. It was really helpful to be able to communicate with the owner before we started our visit. The cottage is well appointed and has all the facilities one needs especially if you are self catering rather than eating out. The owner is always happy to help with any queries. It is very peaceful there and thus great for a restful few days. There are of course many interesting places to visit during the stay.

Peaceful, good base in good weather
Cottage very pleasant and well equipped, but quite chilly unless light a wood fire in the main room. Beautiful gardens around main house, but the sitting area near the cottage is not the most convenient.

Watchmakers Cottage was a beautiful venue, lovely cottage with access to the gardens & shady area
The weather was very hot but it had a lovely shady spot to sit outside and relax and enjoy the delightful view. We would highly recommend it, from my 30 year old son and his girlfriend to 60 year olds. Fantastic is too tame a word for it all 👏🥰👏👏👏

Jenny is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble Watchmaker’s Cottage is situated in beautiful surroundings which guests have access to, which meant we could stroll around and sit in the lovely gardens. The cottage is very well equipped and beautifully decorated, making it comfortable to stay in. Perfect for family and friends to share for a memorable holiday. Thank you Jenny.

A Comfortable Cottage in a quiet location
Everything was perfect at the Watchmakers Cottage. The weather forecast for our four night stay said it would be mild and a bit wet and it was. The cottage was ready for us when we arrived and Jenny had switched on all the radiators and lit a fire for us so it was already warm and cosy. Max supplied us with enough wood and kindling to get us through our new year stay. It was a lovely welcome from our hosts and the four us, friends from university so long ago, spent our days walking in the Wye valley and our evenings eating and drinking too much round the living room fire. Perfect. The approach roads are narrow and a bit bumpy so be warned but there are shops, pubs and restaurants within easy reach and Ross itself is only 10 minutes away.
