Just returned from our stay here and have got to say excellent for families. I have three children and the family room had plenty of space for the 5 of us. The hosts very friendly and helpful. Yes there was a workman but it didn't impact us in anyway, places need things doing all the time so when else can... More

Although clean, well kept and a nice shower this B&B is not as it appears on the internet or its brochure. The house is beautiful, but we were taken to the back to a tiny, shed-like room as our B&B. It was so small that there was no room to move, store our suitcases or sit, except on the bed.... More

We were surprised and disappointed to read this review as we always endeavour to make our guests stay as pleasant as possible and encourage them to discuss any concerns during their stay. The standard courtyard room booked on line is illustrated on our website and is our most economic option. The brick built, single story courtyard room formed part of... More

Excellent accommodation - clean, roomy and comfortable. Lovely hosts who were very helpful in recommending where we should eat, and left a note saying the roof was open on my car. Would definitely stay again.

From the moment I arrived the service was fantastic, and the family atmosphere makes this B&B all the more enjoyable. I was catered for thoroughly right down to personalised early morning breakfasts which was essential to my stay for the week. The rooms were immaculate and very much more than I required and this was topped off with the faultless... More

We stayed here for one night in preference to a Travelodge as we were travelling with our dog. The accommodation was generous, clean and welcoming but the highlight was definitely breakfast. Good quality produce and plenty of coffee ensured we were set for the day ahead. Also, our dog loved playing with Bella the Lab in the garden.

Dog tired from travelling all day from Budapest Hungary, the signpost to Hereford told me I had only a few miles to go. Enough was enough. As their own accomodation was booked, the helpful Wye Valley Leisure Club receptionists made a call to Claire Braybrook at the Bowens. 2 mins later I met her and was given spotless warm room,...

Very clean, tidy and comfortable Bed & Breakfast in a lovely village we were only there for 2 nights but the family could not have been more welcoming and we would like to praise the quality of the breakfast which alone is worth the visit (even better than the Ritz, which we experienced a short time ago) We will definitely...

A delightful B&B: friendly welcome, comfortable rooms and wonderful home-cooked breakfasts. My wife had to leave at 6am to collect our daughter and take her to a dressage competition, so Claire kindly laid up a breakfast tray the night before for her to eat in the bedroom. We stayed in one of the ensuite annexe rooms, which was ideal for... More

The owners of The Bowens, Claire & Kevin, could not have been more friendly and helpful to our party of 12 adults. The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable.

I stay in many B&B's throughout the country due to the peripatetic nature of my work. The Bowens is certainly towards the top of the list for quality. The situation is lovely in large gardens and in a working village. The small double room I had was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the whole house is very well kept. The... More
