Set tails wagging on a visit to the beauty of Herefordshire with friends and family at this marvellous country estate. Be it a multi-generational getaway, a cause for celebration or a getaway with loved ones, this quirky, characterful lodge is a perfect base. With a blissful hot tub to unwind in at the end of each day and fantastic spaces to socialise inside and out, there’s something to please every guest staying. Just 5 miles away is the National Trust grounds of The Weir Garden spanning 10 acres of riverside gardens and parkland which welcomes canines for wonderful walkies with plenty of exciting scents to sniff.

Offering the wow factor from the moment you drive up the gravelled drive, the entrance to these private grounds sets the scene for your stay. At the heart of the home, the living room is filled with sumptuous, unique, curved sofas, whilst natural light floods in through the windows. It’s the perfect place to kick back and relax with large groups. When it’s time to eat, the kitchen/diner is beautifully lit with floor-to-ceiling windows and finished to a high standard to ensure cooking for large groups can be done with ease. Take your pick from two dining tables, one smaller, more casual option seating four, whilst the other overlooks the grounds and seats up to ten. For a spot of entertainment after dinner, the games room has been equipped with a pool table and a selection of board games. The private gym is a great place to work up a sweat during your holiday for those who love to stay active, and you’ll find a selection of cosy nooks to get lost in a good book and truly relax. Each of the five bedrooms has been tastefully decorated with their own individual style. Bedroom one features a super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room as well as two further king-size bedrooms that boast lovely window seats for gazing over the views. The final two rooms offer flexibility in the sleeping arrangements, featuring king-size beds which can be made up as two sets of twin beds upon request. Outside, well-manicured gardens await with a bubbling hot tub, tables, chairs, a BBQ and garden games ensuring you can make the best of any long sunny days.

Venture for a walk beside the River Wye to fetch the very best of sticks, located less than a mile from your doorstep. For a day out, visit the charming bookshop town of Hay-on-Wye (16 miles) and you’ll find a great selection of dog-friendly cafes to stop off at as you stroll through the quaint streets. If you’re in search of a challenge, the Black Mountains lie 29 miles away with a selection of enticing walking trails up and down the hills which include the Sugar Loaf and Hay Bluff mountains.

I would highly recommend booking this amazing home. Everything was simply delightful. The peace and quiet of an evening was to die for. The home itself was so well stocked from seating to bathrooms there were 9 men staying and we didn't feel cramped at any moment during our stay. The outside space is well kept and inviting. The hot-tub was the Read morebest we've had anywhere we've stayed. Plenty of fridge space for food and alcohol... mainly alcohol. The location is divine with views over fields to the breacons and beyond. You won't be disappointed. I only gave 4/5 for comfort as I felt the addition of garden sofas would make it 5/5. Hide

The house met and exceeded expectations. We were one family but with 4 adult children plus partners the space was ideal. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy all round.

From booking to leaving the property everything was flawless brilliant communication and information from owner. The house was spotlessly clean and homely. The owner decorated the house early for Christmas for us which was tasteful and elegant and very much appreciated. The house had everything and more you could ask for.
