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. Everything was done to make our week-end enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for them, which was a real blessing . Fownhope is a lovely village, and has lots of places... More

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

Our stay at The Bowens last Friday was all too brief but its flexibility was the main reason we stayed there at all; other local B&Bs wouldn't put us up for only one night at weekends. This turned out to be fortunate for us. Fownhope was a great place to stay and the friendly welcome and well equipped, large sized... More

On a Canoeing Trip recently down the River Wye in Herefordshire, we styed one night at this great B&B in the lovely village of Fownhope. The twin room we shared in the annexe to the rear of the property was very clean, well maintained spacious and had good comfortable beds . The adjoining bathroom was also a very good size... More
