very private, huge gardens, lovely welcome basket. very comfortable beds with fresh bed linens and towels, plenty of hot water and of course the hot tub!only thing we could say is the walls/kitchen windows and banister were a bit grubby, they really need a good clean . excellent location to access local attractions and a fab pub a couple of miles away serving gorgeous food.star gazing was beautifulX we could see the milky way

We had a lovely time at the quarry house. We love the hikes that were in close proximity to the home. The home was well equipped and comfortable.

Quarry House was an amazing venue for our extended family Christmas celebration. We had 12 people from 9-74 and a dog and all had a great time. The house looked beautiful all lit up and decorated. We particularly appreciated the amazingly well equipped kitchen. There was nothing at all that we missed even down to spare batteries. There were clear instructions on how to operate everything and helpful local information. We enjoyed walks in the woods, soaking in the hot tub and warming up in front of the log burner. We had an issue with a power cut on the 1st night. This was outside anyone’s control but the owner was very helpful in communicating with us and finding out the cause of the problem and it was quickly resolved. All in all the house was perfect for our needs and we may very well rent it again (if they’ll have us!)

10.0 / 10.0

A great sized property that had more than enough space for 7 of us. The grounds and surrounding woodlands were very peaceful. The added extras such as the log burner, hot tub & games room meant that we had plenty to do on the rainy days. The area is very remote which adds to the privacy and the nearby villages had everything we needed from takeaway to post office. We’d definitely love to stay again

Quarry House was perfect for our family holiday. 7 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs enjoyed everything the house had to offer. The children had so much fun between the hot tub, games room, grounds and play area. The house is equipped with everything you need for an away from it all break. We enjoyed meals around the big kitchen table, beautiful views from the terrace and summer house, relaxing around the outdoor fire, chilling in the hot tub and long walks. The Chinese takeaway in Presteigne was delicious and only a 5 minute drive away. We loved the house and would definitely recommend it.

The property was fantastic and located in a beautiful spot it had everything we needed and more from the relaxing hottub to the cosy fire pit not to mention the stunning gardens and spectacular scenery! i would 100% recommend to all and will be definitely returning, the communication from the owners was also great with instructions from check in to check out and reassurance that they was a message away had we had any issues :)

My birthday stay was one of two halves. At the weekend we hosted my grown up children and their young families, totalling 9 of us and 2 dogs. With a choice of games console, pool, dolls house, darts, wendy house, table tennis and hot tub (and more which we didn't use) the children were always busy and parents happy. Eating was straight forward with such a long table and plenty of toddler friendly plates etc. Dogs were also well catered for with their own box of supplies. Things don't always go perfectly and the shower was fixed within 4 hours of reporting it. The following week our family returned to work and we hosted friends in their place. The host and the housekeeper obligingly accommodated this change of use perfectly by supplying us with extra sheets and towels with perfect attention to our requests. Quarry House is located in beautiful rolling countryside. I struggled to arrange taxis but that aside, the house has everything to entertain families and walkers without jumping in the car. All our guests were sad to leave, having had the most perfect stay.

Absolutely amazing property. Has literally everything you could ask for in terms of facilities. Great kitchen, hot tub was a success with the kids, great games room. Loved the sun terrace area.

We had a brilliant week, I only wish we had booked for longer. The house, grounds and views are stunning. So much to keep the kids happy away from home! The house is remote but near enough to a number of lovely attractions including the Small Breed Farm Park and owl centre which is definitely worth a visit, and a trip to Hay, which we loved. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you!

The property was even better than expected, well equipped and decent space. The hot tub was great with all the family having a dip at some point. The grounds offered great walks for the dogs with direct access on to forest walks or even runs for the more energetic of us. Found lots of interesting places to visit, it feels a bit like the place where time stood still

House needing a deep clean and decorated through out.

Quarry house review...on arrival place looked fantastic, plenty grounds for kids to run around very welcoming even the sun was shining. We were disappointed with the cleanliness given we had paid an enhanced cleaning fee due to covid. When we arrived two of our party spent the first hour cleaning. On closer inspection the house was full of cob webs (on the foot of one bed, all along wall art throughout the house, ceiling joists in the kitchen dining area) kitchen needed a full deep clean due to toaster full of crumbs, kettles had stale water in them, dishwasher was smelly and had food debris lying in the bottom. The sink was covered in brown splashes and draining board was filthy. The utility room fridge freezer had dried in spilled milk along the doors. We cleaned the visible milk away and cleaned the fridge freezer 3 times but still smelled. Cleaners said they had reported this but it was still dirty when we arrived so hadn't been cleaned anyway. Tumble dryer lint filter was left full. Hot tub had a broken seal this was day one! When we pulled the travel cot out from under the bed it and the fold up bed we're covered in a very thick layer of dust which made me wonder when they had last been moved for under the bed to be hoovered. Travel cot was also stained so gave that a clean before using which we would have done anyway but still disappointed to see it was put away visibly dirty. Day 2 blind fell off the window of the black and white room, cafetiere cracked when we put hot water in it. We found food under the kitchen sofa. Broken toilet seat hinge ( not recently broken) kids swing set is well past its best, there were broken kids chairs in the Wendy house we had to hide from our toddler as they were unsafe. Lovely bedding, plenty towels supplied. Hot tub was amazing . The outside new seating was lovely to picnic with our wee people. The house could benefit from a deep clean and refreshing of paint , broken tiles replaced, garden slabs levelled as some are wobbly (not good for our kids. Yes when we called to report any issues they were delt with quickly thankfully. We were a family of 5 adults a 6 year old and a 2 year old . Drove over 5 hours from Scotland for a 4night stay and I tried to enjoy our time but kept finding more faults. holes in the ground which unfortunately but luckily( rather me than kids) I fell down injuring my shin and ankle. Summer house equipment sun damaged, lot of road noise in teal room. Needs a major update all over

Great venue for family holiday

Great venue for family holiday

Quarry House was a wonderful venue for a 3 generational family holiday celebrating a special birthday. We chose the area so we could explore some of Granny’s childhood memories, she having been brought up in Hereford. The hot tub & games rooms were a must have requirement for the older grandchildren. The grounds were great for all the age groups to enjoy & explore. A bonus were the banks of primroses in the garden. Although the weather forecast was poor, the reality was much kinder! Overall the house was extremely well equipped. A good time was had by all. Amanda was very helpful.

Great Family Break

Great Family Break

The property was great and allowed us to get away as a mixed family group. The facilities were fantastic and we had everything we could possibly have needed for our long weekend. The hot tub was fabulous, as was the games room, and the setting can't be faulted. Set in a large plot with separate terraces with views out over the valley, we were able to take advantage of the lovely weather we had and truly relax. Lovely walk direct from the top of the property. Owners were very helpful beforehand when we had a family bereavement and weren't sure whether our plans would need to change.

We were looking for a venue for a family get together to celebrate a big birthday and Quarry House ticked all the boxes. Peaceful with plenty of outside side/adjoining walks and dog friendly. Plenty of things to keep us entertained under cover if the weather was unkind (which it wasn't!) so we made full use of the outside space. Our hosts were helpful and responsive to queries... couldn't really have asked for anything more. Thank you!

Perfect location.

The property was as described, but still impressed when we arrived. All well stocked with items that's needed to make your stay hassle free and enjoyable. Such as plenty pots and pans, cutlery, milk, bread, butter, towels for showering and hot tub. Instructions for everything that you need. The hosts immediately replied to any questions we had before hand. (Didn't need to ask anything once there). Grounds were just perfect for our two dogs. Walk them around the grounds first thing in the morning, then off out up Burfa Hill which is accessed via a gate on the property grounds. Once there we didn't need to go out once. Great location, great facilities and great hosts.

Thank you, we had an amazing weekend at Quarry House recently to celebrate my daughter's 40th birthday! Being a group of 10 family and friends, ranging in ages from 17 to 92 we found lots of fun activities for all our ages. We loved the hot tub and its colour changing lights, it was amazing! Enjoyed walks around the 3 acres of garden, a family BBQ and playing table tennis. So much to do without leaving this fab setting. We did have an issue in the games room where my 92 year old mum stayed, the heater wasn't working- so we contacted the hosts Amanda and Chris. Within an hour the situation was resolved with a brand new heater! Much appreciated! Excellent hosts, if needed always available on the other end of the phone and welcome basket on arrival was a lovely added extra! SLovely cottage, well equipped with an abundance of amenities to enjoy! Thoroughly loved our stay and can't wait to book again for a longer holiday! 🙂

Overall a great property and we enjoyed ourselves. A pleasantly surprising amount of space and entertainment options, and an even better view. There are fantastic walks in the area. As a group who stayed on site mostly throughout, they have thought about everything for couples, families and dogs. Only aspects that let it down for us was:1. Bath/shower upstairs missing shower curtain (assuming for covid safety) but the second shower was extremely temperamental with regards to water pressure and heat (the owners did send someone to look at this but it didnt do much)- we would have struggled with this more if we were a bigger group2. The hot tub wasn't available for use on the first night which was disappointing as it was the main requirement for our trip (it had been cleaned during the day and hadn't reached a warm temp). We recieved an email about this before arriving but it wasn't the news we wanted. 3. Gardeners/housekeeping arrived at 07:45 on the day of checkout meaning we couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating out front or let our dogs out to run before our long trip back (they were overly interested in the loud lawnmower) - also woke us up. The property should really be ours until 10:00. But otherwise a wonderful place and the positives far outweigh the negatives. Would love to return for a longer stay as Mon - Fri wasn't enough to enjoy it all!

Fantastic Stay

Fantastic Stay

We loved our stay at Quarry House. We were two families with four adults, two teens and a child. The house suited us brilliantly, there was so much space and having the extra bed in the pool table room was a bonus for the two teens. The fire pit was lovely and the hot tub such a bonus coming back after a long day out. This house really thinks of everything to cater for people having a break, right down to the right wine glasses, enough fridge and freezer space plus even jacuzzi towels! We loved our stay. You are isolated though so have to drive at least 30mins for most shops or bars so bear that in mind. We loved the birds singing in the morning and listening to the cows come home. Truly a wonderful place, we will be back.

Everything had been thought of to make our stay comfortable and special. Because of lockdowns we waited over a year to finally stay at Quarry House but oh boy, was it worth the wait.

Idyllic retreat

Idyllic retreat

Set in some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK, the property offers multi-layered experiences within a private and tranquil setting. Themed areas abound; the firepit to the rear, the hot tub, the sun kissed terrace, the summer house on the hill, the secluded trails through the grounds, the games room and of course the house itself which is a gem. Convenience and utility for all ages in all weathers but you do need to be mobile to manage the stairs, steps and hills. It's hard to imagine any family or group who wouldn't be enthralled by this location.

Beautiful home away from home in the countryside

This was absolutely amazing, ideal location, facilities, space and homely. We stayed with three families, ample room for us all, would happily recommend this to friends and family. We are hoping to return in the not too distant future hopefully with some sun. Our only disappointment was the heating, although there was 10 of us, we found it quite cold and everytime we used the heating settings in the Kitchen we found it was repeatedly changed back down to 15c via the Hive controls, therefore we feel we did not have control of the temperature in the accommodation other than using the log fire which cost us for this luxury. Hopefully in the summer months this wouldn't be an issue.

We had our family over from Australia so booked this for 5 adults and 4 children aged 12, 8, 6 and 2. There was plenty of space. We especially enjoyed the games room and hot tub. We did lots of cooking and there was everything we needed. I would recommend this house and would look at booking Quarry House again, Next to Quarry House you can get fresh duck eggs which we enjoyed at breakfast.
