Guestbook for The Old Barn, Little Quebb
Our stay at Little Quebb was part of our honeymoon - a family week with our 10 month old son, and it was perfect. Great cottage, friendly animals, lots of great walks, pubs and villages nearby. Alison and John were attentive hosts, with lots of advice on places to go and made us feel most welcome
- Juliet and Matthew Huggett, April 2009.
A tranquil place with an abundance of creature comforts. We booked for 4 nights, stayed for 5 and would have stayed longer if we could !
- The Newtons, January 2010.
Beautiful property in lovely rural quiet countryside, close to Hay on Wye. We all had great sleeps including the baby ! I would definitely recommend to family and friends
