Stroll through the immaculate estate and gardens with your noble hound at your heel when you stay at this special cottage set within castle grounds. The unique, two-bedroom stone lodge, which sleeps four guests, nestles within the exclusive Herefordshire location, just over 0.5 miles from Yarpole and 6 miles from Leominster. With its own mature garden and access to superb walks through the 1,500 acres of woods, park and farmland, this single-storey holiday home is quite simply a puppy paradise.
Head inside via the back of the house, where you can dry damp paws and leave walking boots and wellies before ambling into the kitchen/diner. Give your chum a well-earned drink of water and a few puppy treats, before unpacking any provisions and starting to think about preparing a meal for your family or friends, including those with four legs. There is a table here for the people in your party to dine at before everyone retreats to the lounge to relax together in the cosy warmth of the wood burner. Watch TV or play games as your pet rests his tired paws, then leave him dozing as you head through to find your own beautiful bedrooms. These include a super-king-size, with beds that can also be set up as two singles, if requested in advance, and a king-size. The property also has a family shower room. Sit out on the terrace and supervise your chum as he noses about the mature garden. Take him for a longer stroll through your enchanting surroundings. There is ample private parking here.
Grab the lead and walk just 1 mile to the glorious setting of Bircher Common. The National Trust’s Berrington Hall, 5 miles away, is another great destination for dogs. Here, they can accompany you through the parkland, courtyard and gardens.
