Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, this rural property is set in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Herefordshire near the border with Wales. You’re within walking distance of the pretty village of Goodrich which boasts its own Norman castle ruins, and Symonds Yat (3 miles), a mecca for watersports with wonderful opportunities to canoe and kayak through the spectacular Wye Valley. You’ll find a shop and a pub nearby (2 mile), an enclosed garden for your hounds, bike storage, and off-road parking available for four cars.
Step inside your holiday home which has country-style interiors and cosy furnishings in warm hues. Relax in the spacious living room by the Smart TV, feature fireplace, and warming wood burner where your dog can dream of intrepid forest adventures. Rustle up speedy meals for hungry hikers in the well-equipped kitchen and dine with a view of the Wye valley. There’s a ground floor WC, and a spacious king-size en-suite bedroom, just make sure that Rover doesn’t claim your bed. You’ll find the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom upstairs. Open the living room doors and enjoy morning coffee in the enclosed garden where you can make plans for the day, or simply curl up with a favourite book.
Head to the Forest of Dean (9.5 miles) for mountain bike trails, and nature walks - the family-friendly Puzzlewood (6.5 miles) is nearby, a magical woodland of curious tree formations and outdoor play. Historians and romantics will love Tintern Abbey which inspired Wordsworth to scribe a poem (16.5 miles). Shoppers and foodies should visit the region’s market towns - potter around the independent shops and fabulous markets where you can source fresh local produce and original gifts in Ross-on-Wye (5 miles), Monmouth (6 miles), and Hereford (16.5 miles).
