The cottage itself is lovely and rustic, yet has a gorgeous modern bathroom - so best of both worlds really! It is in a nice, quiet location but with ease of getting to places - if you do actually manage to make it out! Truly a wonderful place to relax for a few days, highly recommend. ##### Anna P.

Paul and John were hugely welcoming as well as interesting and cultured hosts, and they even gave us a tour of the main house which they have been pajnsatkingly resorting to its full Victorian glory for the last 25 years.

It has been renovated and furnished to a high standard while keeping its period cottage feel. We enjoyed hearing from the owners about the renovation process and the history of the cottage and the Old Vicarage. There are good walks around the village and further afield, and Presteigne and Knighton are interesting small towns. It was a great pleasure staying there, and we had an excellent week combining relaxation and reading with excursions in the surrounding area. We highly recommend Vicarage Cottage! ##### Andrew B.

Great landscape, hosts and fresh local food from nearby villages made this get away the perfect retreat from everyday stress and hassles. I am defiantly going again soon and will be spending the time walking the countryside, visiting the local shops and pubs and enjoying the fresh air. If you’re looking for a cottage with character, warmth and a real feel of the home you’ve always wanted look no further. Thank you for great memories! ##### David H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian B. 13 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow I highly recommend the vicarage cottage this beautiful little cottage is so well thought out, comfortable, homely, very well equipped with fantastic attention to detail and a great shower, with views over the neighbouring farm fields, in a quiet little village there's a co-op shop with a petrol Station a few miles away for the essentials, a perfect stay ##### Ian B.

The properties are charming and decorated with taste and flair. Standards are always first class and little touches such as home baked cakes and scones just add to the feeling that you are a welcome guest and that your enjoyment is Paul and John's greatest wish. Our stays here are a real sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of life in London and we feel relaxed and away from things as soon as we drive into Norton. We cannot recommend a stay here highly enough and we look forward to returning as soon as we can. ##### Matthew S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline G., Newton Abbot 19 Apr 2016 #### 'An exquisite little gem in an oasis of calm and tranquility!' Vicarage cottage is without doubt one of the most impressive and beautiful places you could wish to be staying at. From the moment you open the door, it takes your breath away and you feel the weights of worry fall from your shoulders. It was exactly as described and the pictures don't do it justice. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, be it for a long weekend or a week or two, it was spotlessly clean, with towels provided and even bath robes. Ambient lights abound, comfortable and impressive half tester bed, lovely little range/aga should you wish to light if chilly, comfortable settees and more seating upstairs to make the most of the spectacular views from the window. We stayed 3 nights and didn't want to leave at all. There is lots to see in the area especially if you like history and castles and stately homes, as well as little villages full of character. We thoroughly loved our stay and can't wait to return again soon. Paul was so welcoming and friendly and we felt so at home. The cottage is a wonderful place to stay and we have already recommended it to our friends. Should you wish to escape the rat race for a while and just relax, then this is the place to come to! Thank you Paul and John for sharing your beautiful cottage with us ##### Caroline G.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in this wonderful period property (stay of 2 weeks). It is packed with character, not in the least because of the many antiques (it is lovingly decorated, with eye for detail). But, it being a period property, it comes with beams, an inglenook, old doors etc. so the house oozes character all by itself! The owners are really friendly and stay in touch about how you are doing (and made sure we had a change of linen in the middle of our two weeks) but give you lots of privacy too (which we craved, living in the busy city centre of Amsterdam). This is also enhanced by your "own" driveway and garden (small maybe for some, but quite enough for us). We particularly loved the huge kitchen area and the cosy living room (all those lamps!). Upstairs, there's a small second seating area which was ideal for those sunny mornings (with views over the surrounding hills). The bathroom was more than adequate sizewise (supplied with big, thick towels and bathrobes). The bedroom was also of a considerable size, with the only "minor" thing for us being the width of the bed itself (we're used to 160 cm and our own duvets + mattrasses -> but this won't be a problem for those used to one duvet and one mattrass; it was soft enough for us in any case). There is plenty to do in the surrounding area. There are many walks you can do and towns to visit (we did both). Presteigne (tip: visit The Workhouse Gallery for gorgeous rugs and other crafs) and Knighton are small and rural. We also visited Shrewsbury and Ludlow, both of which we loved. Leominster is also a nice town to visit. In Wales we visited Rhayader (great rural little town) and Aberystwyth (and on the way there The Devil's Bridge which is worth while) next to a walk to Pen-Y-Fan (breathtaking scenery!). A must-see (tip from our landlords, thank you!) is the Elan Valley! Do take your time to drive around, see the dams and stop over at The Penbont Tea Room (delicious cakes!). So: all in all a great stay! ##### Patricia M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nellie d. 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ongelooflijk mooi en compleet, deze oeroude cottage Wij hebben bijzonder genoten van onze week in Wales.
