Set in 200 acres of Herefordshire farmland where you can leave the car behind and enjoy the local foot paths from your front door. The Herefordshire countryside is beautiful throughout the year: the Wye Valley Way offers river walks and golden valleys in Autumn, and the Forest of Dean rich with bluebells and snowdrops in the spring. For cyclists you can join the National cycling trail and the country lanes or venture into the Forest for a slightly more challenging terrain; and in summertime why not hire a canoe and take time to enjoy the River Wye. A trip to one of the many market towns is a must where you can pick up local produce from a farmers market or browse the independent shops.

Enjoy the views across the paddocks as you take the path to your shepherd’s hut, set within your paddock where you can start to unwind and enjoy your stay. The shepherd's hut has been beautifully finished with carved wooden cupboards and gingham curtains to frame the wooden windows. There is a wood burning stove to keep you warm, a bespoke finished kitchen area with hob and fridge freezer. A small table and chairs perfect for a simple supper. The double bed is raised and built in, a cosy space with views onto the countryside and a TV for a rainy day. A pretty wooden wardrobe with bathrobes and carved doors is great for storage. There is a separate hut that offers a spacious shower room with shower and WC.

Outside is your private, large and enclosed space where you can relax, a hot tub sits next to the hut where you can enjoy soaking after a day exploring or simply enjoy the night skies. There is also a summer house which stores a BBQ for summer dining. There is a table and chairs for two carved from a log Further with a fire pit so you can enjoy sundowners whatever the season. There is bike storage and parking for two cars.

A perfect break, away from it all. Lovely location, very peaceful, with a private, enclosed, secure garden for our small dog. The hut was spotless, and the bed was very comfy! The hot tub was blissful. The whole property was very well equipped and thought out, with outside seating, fire pit and BBQ and enough provision to rustle up food indoors if Read morethe weather is bad (which we had for one night). A great stay, thank you! Hide

Lovely place and we both loved it! We liked that the bathroom area was separate to the rest of the living area, as it meant more space to get changed etc especially for the hot tub next door! The hot tub was very relaxing with some lovely views of the fields and sheep! We also did some toasted marshmallows outside which was really nice to do, and eRead morenjoyed the fireplace inside to relax too when sleeping.

This really was a little gem with fantastic views and we felt totally secluded. Lovely to relax in the hot tub after a long day of exploring. Great walk for the dogs in the Woodland and many fantastic walks in the area close at hand. Would certainly recommend.
