This contemporary yet cosy property offers wonderfully light and bright spacious interiors, nestled within the heart of the Herefordshire countryside where you can dive into the picturesque views from the doorstep.

From the entrance hall, lead the way through to the light-filled dual-aspect living room with patio doors onto a private terrace where you and your canine companion can relax and unwind on the comfy sofas together and catch a film on the Smart TV. Rover will love dozing in the sweet snug room, flooded with natural sunlight. The dining area is spacious enough to seat eight as well as cater for your pup’s bowl, leading into the galley-style kitchen that is well-equipped for everything you’ll need to get creative. Call it a day and retreat upstairs to any of the three wonderful bedrooms that you and your wet-nosed pal can call home. Before bed, wash off muddy paws in the contemporary free-standing bath or have a relaxing soak yourself. Outside, let little paws pad around the enclosed decked area and beyond to the open aspect garden as you enjoy dining al fresco.

The rural hamlet of Bridstow lies deep with the Herefordshire countryside; your pup will go barking mad for the myriad of superb walks where you can promenade alongside the River Wye or climb the trail to Symonds Yat Rock 8.5 miles away together to be rewarded with most breathtaking valley views. Keep their tail wagging and get back to nature with a peaceful walk around miles of ancient oak woodlands and pine forests in The Forest of Dean (14.5 miles) boasting that many twigs and sticks your pup will be spoilt for choice. There are plenty of wonderful cafes, pubs and restaurants in Ross-on-Wye 2 miles away where little paws can rest while you enjoy an afternoon tea.

A lovely house in a quiet location, yet M40 is only about a mile away, therefore good location for visiting Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. We have stayed here twice, so far, and would come back again.

Beautiful house with everything needed for a home, plenty of space, equipment and very well kept.
