Let pups play in this capacious barn conversion in the Herefordshire countryside. A superb holiday home for man and dog alike, this property has been updated and elevated with pet-loving guests in mind. The space hosts a total of two guests and two dogs, perfect for those couples seeking a romantic retreat filled with endless dog walks and quiet nights spent in country pubs. Set off with Rover on the leash and your walking boots tightly laced up, exploring the black and white architecture of the surrounding towns and villages and the rolling fields and undulating hills that lay between each one.

There’s more than enough space for your whole pack, people and pets, to relax and unwind in this spacious single-storey abode. Enter via the spacious lobby with utility room an WC. At the centre of the house, discover an open-plan living area with a lounge, kitchen and diner – more than enough room for Fido and Rover to claim a perfect corner for their beds and blankets. You can put your feet up whilst the pups gently snooze, dreaming of walkies past and wildlife not yet caught. Leave sleeping dogs to lie right here as you move into the bedroom, a king-size with an en-suite just next door. Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed, decked terrace with outdoor seating overlooking the cherry orchard, allowing you to sit and sip a drink whilst your doggos dart around.

Ancient architecture and rambling streets can be found in the nearby town of Bromyard (5.5 miles), a place to park the car, let your four-pawed pals sniff out a route along the River Frome and circle back into the town centre to stop off at a country pub before heading home. Two beloved National Landscapes, the Wye Valley (11.5 miles) and the Malvern Hills (14 miles), can be reached close by, offering a wide selection of footpaths and hiking routes with an endless number of sticks for your furry friends to fetch.

Absolutely beautiful, the cottage was amazing. Everything you vould want and more. Very well equipped, the only thing I could say was missing was a trivet to put hot things on out of the oven. The views were lovely, and if the weather had been better, nice walks to go on. And the lake would have been nice to explore. The property is of a very high Read morestandard. Hide

What a fantastic place to stay - top quality accommodation, private and conveniently situated for access to local points of interest. No expense has been spared in the quality of the accommodation. A very convenient entrance "lobby" means that the rest of the barn can be kept clean when the weather is not good and the dogs are wet and muddy. HighlyRead more recommended. Hide

The perfect home away from home. Weve stayed in a lot of nice places and this is honestly the nicest self-catering property weve ever used. Its in a great spot for exploring all the local market towns and was so lovely to come back to at the end of each day. Beautifully presented and very well equipped. We will definitely return.

One of the nicest, most comfortable & spacious holiday homes weve ever been to. Everything was very well thought out, plenty of everything. Amazing outdoor space & loved looking out at the sheep in the field. Nice walk down to the lake & a couple of times we heard owls calling at night.

A fantastic property in the middle of a farm of mainly cherry orchards and sheep. The property itself is very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. At night it is very tranquil with only the odd owl to disturb the peace. The accommodation must rate as one of the best we have ever stayed in.
