An elevated location with views across the rolling countryside. Single storey and open plan, finished with local artwork and reclaimed treasures, and perfect no matter what the time of year.
The wooden lodge, set within the grounds of a smallholding in rural Herefordshire, sleeps four guests and one canine pal. Stroll around the owner’s meadows or enjoy a walk with the woofer along one of the waymarked footpaths that crisscross through the countryside. The vibrant market town of Leominster is just 4 miles away and has a great selection of independent eateries that welcome four-legged visitors. There are also some gorgeous National Trust properties within easy reach, including Berrington Hall (6.5 miles away).
The single-storey lodge boasts panoramic countryside views and the peaceful setting of this property makes for a truly relaxing holiday. Shallow steps lead to the entrance porch, where you can store your dog-walking gear. The open-plan living space has an impressive vaulted ceiling and windows which frame the surrounding fields; this is the ideal spot to curl up with a cuppa, whilst Rover stretches out in front of the wood burner. The property has an eclectic style, comprising local artwork and vintage treasures. Outside, the hound will love exploring the enclosed garden, which is complete with outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. In the evening, pour a glass of wine and head up to the elevated platform to watch the sun set.
Ludlow, with its characterful black and white houses and bustling market, is worth a visit (14.5 miles away). It has a reputation for quality food, and you’ll find a fabulous section of stores selling delicious local produce and delicacies. Stroll along the River Teme with the pup, wander around the castle ruins or head up to Whitcliffe Common, where the hound can stretch their legs and you can admire the views. While away the hours at Berrington Hall, where you and your trusty four-legged companion can explore the woodland paths and meander around the lake.
