Nestled among the Herefordshire hills, this handsome house is a rural retreat you’ll really love. There’s elegance at every turn, from the drawing room overlooking the surrounding scenery, to the warm and welcoming kitchen which has space for casual meals. Period charm pairs perfectly with modern comforts, like the media room, and there’s a practical boot room too (handy after a country stroll). It’s the ideal home to host an extended family or group of friends – great for a special occasion, or for a grand getaway to the country.

Home truths
While some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The boot room, media room, and additional shower room are in a separate building.
Charcoal isn't supplied for the barbecue, so you'll have to stock up locally if you'd like to cook outside.
The AGA range cooker is always on and your host kindly asks you to not adjust the temperature.
Six of the super-king beds can be set up as twin beds on request, and one pair of twin beds can be set up as a super-king.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
There’s free parking for up to fifteen cars on the driveway, which is accessed via a long track from the main road.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
The bedding is both feather and non-feather.
