Built around 1850, this beautifully restored cottage was once home to the head gardener of the Whittern Estate. Charming and full of character; ideal for a family stay in Herefordshire.
Add walking boots to the very top of your packing list, because here you have the whole of Herefordshire on your doorstep waiting to be explored. Amble along waymarked footpaths, enjoy a day trip to the dramatic Black Mountains (just 24 miles away), or take a slower pace around the stunning walled gardens within the estate grounds. You will enjoy a true taste of country living, making it a fantastic bolthole for families looking to truly escape - four-legged friends included.
Backing onto a historic and well-maintained courtyard, this 19th century cottage retains many original features, and has been finished in a traditional style with a handful of unexpected, eclectic touches. Wake up with a late morning dip in the shared heated outdoor pool, which is available in summer months from 9am until 12 noon and shared with three other properties on site, or enjoy a friendly game of badminton in the shared court. Back inside the cottage, unwind in front of the crackling wood burner as you put your feet up after a busy day exploring, or on balmy summer eves head to the private open garden for an al fresco dinner, cooked to perfection on the BBQ.
When you aren’t out in the fresh country air exploring the county and mountains by foot, there is plenty to keep the family entertained. Culture vultures will love Hereford with its famed cathedral (18 miles), where you will find the medieval map of the Mappa Mundi and the unique treasures like the Chained Library. Meanwhile, the kids will be in paradise on the rope swings at Oaker Wood Leisure (11 miles), or meeting the rare and miniature animals at Small Breeds Farm and Owl Centre (4 miles).
