Set deep into the Herefordshire countryside with many peaceful hamlets within walking distance. Guests are spoilt for choice with the walking and cycling routes that are available from the farm. The Offa’s Dyke Path is within 10 miles and offers spectacular views from the Hatterrall Ridge and Twmpa.

This area offers stunning river walks, rolling hills and a selection of fine castles and ruins. The vibrant market town of Hay-on-Wye is 10 miles away and is internationally renowned for the literary festival, but also has a delightful weekly farmers' market and The Warren, a riverside meadow and beach which is perfect for paddling in summertime.

This spacious farmhouse enjoys a rural setting surrounded by a working farm. A small river – The Escley Brook – meanders through the farmland, and with just a 300m walk from the house it is perfect for paddling or fishing. The front of the cottage is raised and accessed by stone steps where you will enter the front porch. Here you can take a seat to remove boots and coats after a day exploring whilst enjoying the view. Step on into the snug with leather armchairs, TV, and electric-effect wood burner. The lounge is off to the right, with low ceilings, original wooden panelled walls, and a stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and basket of logs; there is also a wall-mounted TV. Off the lounge, you can access a games room, with a well-stocked bookcase and chest of board games for all to enjoy. To the far side of the farmhouse is a spacious kitchen/diner, beautifully finished and well-equipped with electric range oven and hob, fridge/freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, cooking scalesand dishwasher. And for dining, there is a large traditional table with low lighting that is perfect for eight. There is a utility room with a sink and washing machine along with a separate shower room with a shower and WC. When the day is done climb the stone cottage stairs that spiral up to the first floor. The landing has a split level and leads the way to four bedrooms made up of a king-size with en-suite shower and WC, a double which enjoys garden views, a king-size with dual-aspect views, and a twin room. There is a bathroom with a free-standing claw foot bath, separate shower, and WC.

You can access the garden from the raised terrace where there is seating, and the enclosed gardens have a variety of levels with areas that you can sit at to enjoy the views. To the top of the garden, there is a table and chairs with parasol and BBQ for al fresco dining. The collection of board games and books, large table tennis table, badminton set and swinging tennis set will keep you entertained. There is off-road parking for four cars and storage for bikes.

The property is in a lovely position and the views are spectacular. It is very peaceful. The accommodation is comfortable and on the whole well equipped. However the internal stairs are very steep and there is a step in the kitchen which caught us out. Would not recommend this for people with young children or mobility issues. Ideal if you want a hRead moreoliday away from it all. Hide

The farmhouse was warm and welcoming. It is spacious and comfortable, with good beds and showers. The massive kitchen was great for family meals. The table tennis table was very popular on wet days, and it was lovely having a games room, with games provided. The area to remove muddy boots and coats was very useful. Be prepared for some narrow countRead morery roads, as the location is deep in beautiful countryside, wonderful for walking; the views from the farmhouse are superb. Hide

A beautiful countryside location, remote but so peaceful. The night sky, if clear, is stunning. Spacious house and gardens with lovely farm walk down to the bridge and stream. Comfortable and clean, with lovely touches.

We had a wonderful stay at Castle Farm over New Year. The cottage was the perfect set-up for our family gathering across 3 generations with plenty of bathrooms and social spaces to spend time together. It is beautifully decorated with everything you could need for a relaxing break. The location is remote, in a stunning setting looking across fieldsRead more and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace & quiet. The large boot room is ideal after a muddy walk, and a warm fire awaits in the cosy lounge. Hide
