  • Detached Herefordshire cottage finished with a contemporary twist
  • A private hot tub within the grounds with views across the Herefordshire countryside
  • Take a trip to the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, walk in the picturesque Brecon Beacons or explore the cathedral city of Hereford
Property code: 83659

This traditional cottage and converted barn has been sympathetically finished with a contemporary edge, simply perfect for those wanting to explore the Herefordshire countryside and Brecon Beacons National Park.

The countryside surrounding Hereford is top dog for getting back to nature, and how better to do so than with your four-legged family members by your side. Gather the pack and discover Madley 1 mile away, sampling the local fare, playing a round of golf or embarking on an adventure through the tapestry of farmland, lakes and pockets of ancient forest. Contemporary and stylish, your charming retreat is perfect for six humans and four hounds who wish to combine their love of the outdoors with a splash of luxury.

 

Escape the blustery weather and take care of muddy paws in the utility room, embracing the relaxed vibe ready for an evening of fine dining and watching your favourite films on the TV. A wood burner crackles invitingly, so let sleeping dogs lie and put your feet up. Don your robes and pamper yourself in the bathroom before retiring to bed, choosing from two elegant bedrooms on the ground floor that share a Jack-and-Jill-style wet room. There’s another bedroom upstairs with its own lavish en-suite, a bonus treat that’s sure to set tails wagging. Whether you are soaking in the hot tub with a glass of wine in hand or playing an elaborate game of fetch in the garden, you are guaranteed a fantastic staycation.

 

Leave no stick unfetched and access a plethora of trails from your doorstep, bringing along a picnic of goodies to spoil your entire party. Hereford itself is just 7.5 miles away with its cathedral, museums and fascinating shops, or why not browse the literacy capital of Hay-on-Wye 16.5 miles away, browsing the many book shops that make this town a book-lovers delight. For adventurous guests, you and your pup will love the range of opportunities the River Wye provides such as wild swimming, kayaking and fishing.
