Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of The Lookout, describing it as 'exceptionally clean and well maintained', which indicates a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property's location is frequently highlighted for its fantastic views and peaceful setting. Its proximity to local attractions, walks, and a friendly pub within walking distance contributes to a high location score.
Guests find The Lookout to be very comfortable, with mentions of a 'very comfortable bed', a 'cosy' atmosphere, and a 'warm and snug' environment even during adverse weather, reflecting a high level of comfort.
The facilities, including a swimming pool, log burner, and high-standard fixtures, are well-received. However, one negative review concerning a wasp nest suggests that while facilities are generally excellent, there is room for improvement in maintenance.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as cake, milk, and firewood. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Ideal for couples and furry friends alike, The Lookout is nestled in the charming village of Llangrove, with the dog-friendly Royal Arms pub just a stone's throw away. The locals are welcoming, and the food is simply divine with something for everyone. Hereford offers a serene setting with breathtaking views, perfect for those seeking tranquility. Venturing out, Symonds Yat and Ross-on-Wye are a short 15-20-minute drive, while Hereford city center, with its array of high street shops is just under 30 minutes away. Our host Ian, was always available and eager to assist. His thoughtful touch of leaving freshly baked Victoria sponge cake upon our arrival was truly appreciated. We even caught a glimpse of Ian's other holiday let, 'The Hideaway,' which looked equally inviting and may be on our list for the next visit. Overall we would highly recommend this holiday let and will definitely rebook in the future!

Log burner adds to that snug feel and free wood to burn appreciated. Well equipped with ample nice quality towels, soap and washing machine tablets provided. Comfy bed with lovely clean bedding. Felt the property was well worth the price we paid. Only improvement to consider for future might be to get a more powerful shower. Cake provided was a lovely welcoming touch. Will recommend this lovely apartment, all in all, one of the best we have stayed at.
