+Tap to open
Where are you?+
Hole-in-the-Wall, three miles from Ross-on-Wye. Postcode HR9 7JN — not Foy, which is across the river. Search Stay by the Wye.
How many do they sleep?+
Wagtail Lodge sleeps two. The Annexe sleeps four (king bed plus a sofa bed). The Shepherd’s Hut will sleep two when it opens. A travel cot is available.
How much does it cost?+
The diary shows the total before you pay. A dog is £10 extra. School holidays (Herefordshire) are 15% extra. Seven nights or more is 10% off; 28 nights or more is 20% off. Short stays of one to three nights in the next four weeks are 10% off.
How do I book?+
You must be 18 or over. Choose dates, send the booking, then pay. Bank transfer is preferred up to £500; larger stays are paid by card. Dates are held once payment is seen. We can hold an enquiry for two days.
What if I cancel?+
More than six weeks: 25% of the holiday cost is kept. Four to six weeks: 50%. Less than four weeks: the full amount. Please cancel in writing. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
When do I arrive and leave?+
From 15:00, by 10:00. Self check-in — the lock-box code is emailed the night before your stay. Save it; signal can be sparse.
Are pets welcome?+
Yes, if agreed in advance, for £10. Up to two smaller dogs or one large dog. Don’t leave them alone in the cottage, use the throws, and clean up after them.
Can you decorate for a birthday?+
Yes. WhatsApp or email with the date, the cottage and what you have in mind. We’ll confirm what’s possible and the cost.
Is fishing included?+
No. We do not own the rights. Day tickets are a five-minute walk at Foy Bridge or The Creel — see the fishing page. Tackle storage and a drying room are on site.
What is provided?+
Linen, towels, starter tea, coffee, milk, toiletries and a cleaning kit. Heating and electricity included. Cot linen is not. Logs for the fireplace and coal for the BBQ can be bought on site.
House rules?+
Quiet from 10pm. No parties, no smoking or vaping inside, no candles, no hair dye. Pets and extra visitors only if agreed. Full terms are on the Terms page.
