This rural getaway sits at the foothills of the Black Mountains, in the quaint village of Abbey Dore. The property makes a delightful, romantic retreat for two humans and one hound looking to escape the humdrum of everyday life. The surrounding area is awash with walking trails to scamper along, including the Offa''s Dyke Path and The Beacons Way. For shopping and eating out, Hay-on-Wye is 16.5 miles away.
The loft apartment is on a working sheep farm and enjoys tranquil countryside views. Enter the property via the boot room, where you can store all the pup''s gear, and head up the stairs to the open-plan, bright living space. The lounge/kitchen/diner is decorated in a contemporary style, with exposed woodwork and a colour palette to echo the Herefordshire landscape. Whip up delicious meals in the chic kitchen area and share romantic dinners at the stylish dining table. In the evenings, sink into the comfortable sofa to watch the Smart TV. With hard floors and direct access to the outside area, this is a practical space for your pooch. Across the hallway you''ll find an inviting double bedroom and a refreshing shower room. Outside, sip a sundowner or share an al fresco meal on the enclosed balcony. Guests are also welcome to explore the footpaths through the farm and around the lake.
Further afield, you''ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dog walks, from exhilarating hikes to the summit of Hay Bluff (15.5 miles) to peaceful ambles along the banks of the River Wye (15 miles). The literary town of Hay-on-Wye is a must during your stay, with its plethora of woof-welcoming eateries, independent shops, and, of course, bookshops. On a hot day, head down to the riverside ‘beach'', The Warren, to let Fido splash around in the water.
