  • Traditional wooden lodge set within six secluded acres of countryside and woodland

  • A great base for exploring the Herefordshire market towns and countryside with the Wye Valley and Welsh Borders also within easy reach
Property code: 76423

Treat the pack to a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings, enjoying all the home comforts this fantastic lodge has to offer. Located just 5 miles from the market town of Ledbury, this picturesque setting boasts a stunning backdrop of pretty woodland, so you’ll be able to rest all four limbs in utter bliss. Comfortable and stylish, the property sleeps five guests and one dog with plenty of extra touches such as a private hot tub. There’s a shared sauna for a spot of pampering, and the paddock is perfect for letting Rover burn off some energy.

 

Setting the scene with tasteful wood panelling, cosy furniture and a crackling wood burner, the property exudes charm. Imagine curling up on the sofas with your waggy-tailed chum, sharing some tasty snacks and watching the rain pattering outside on stormy evenings. At bedtime, a trio of deliciously snug bedrooms provide a peaceful haven for a restful night’s sleep. The terrace is the ideal place for al fresco dining whatever the weather, but hot days call for a pre-dinner dip in the shared natural swimming pool. Canines are best kept on leads when exploring the grounds, but there is a safely enclosed area for Fido to frolic freely.

 

Venture into Ledbury for a pleasant afternoon wandering the cobbled streets, marvelling at the timbered buildings and pausing for a hearty lunch. The Malthouse Cafe and Gallery is a firm favourite amongst foodies, and the upstairs gallery has plenty of interesting finds if you fancy some retail therapy. The Malvern Hills are accessible within 9-miles, offering a choice of walks to suit the keen hiker or gentle ambler. For history buffs, Eastnor Castle 7.5 miles away welcomes furry guests throughout the historic house and gardens complete with refreshment zones and a dedicated ‘dogs-off-leads-area’ for play.

A well organised cottage in relaxing surroundings. The pool is tranquil all be it unheated but was enjoyable on warmer days. We soon warmed back up in the hottub. The gym is very well equipped too. Owner is welcoming and my children loved the animals.

We had a wonderful stay here - the natural swimming pool is beautiful and has amazing, clean water, surrounded by water lilies, dragon flies and trees. The lodge was beautifully clean and really well equipped. The kids had a brilliant time around the grounds and we found loads to do nearby. Loved it.

We could not have been more comfortable and happier at Toad Lodge. The setting was beautiful and there was so much around to explore. The lodge itself was so well equipped and comfortable. Certainly a 5 star stay.
