Set in 200 acres of Herefordshire farmland where you can leave the car behind and enjoy the local foot paths from your front door. The Herefordshire countryside is beautiful throughout the year: the Wye Valley Way offers river walks and golden valleys in Autumn, and the Forest of Dean rich with bluebells and snowdrops in the spring. For cyclists you can join the National cycling trail and the country lanes or venture into the Forest for a slightly more challenging terrain; and in summertime why not hire a canoe and take time to enjoy the River Wye. A trip to one of the many market towns is a must where you can pick up local produce from a farmers market or browse the independent shops.

Enjoy the views across the paddocks as you take the path to your shepherd’s hut, set within your paddock where you can start to unwind and enjoy your stay. The shepherd's hut has been beautifully finished with carved wooden cupboards and gingham curtains to frame the wooden windows. There is a wood burning stove to keep you warm, a bespoke finished kitchen area with electric oven and hob and fridge freezer. A small table and chairs perfect for a simple supper. The double bed is raised and built in, a cosy space with views onto the countryside and a TV for a rainy day. A pretty wooden wardrobe with bathrobes and carved doors is great for storage. There is a separate hut that offers a spacious shower room with shower and WC.

Outside is your private, large and enclosed space where you can relax, a hot tub sits next to the hut where you can enjoy soaking after a day exploring or simply enjoy the night skies. There is also a summer house which stores a BBQ for summer dining. There is a table and chairs for two carved from a log Further with a fire pit so you can enjoy sundowners whatever the season. There is bike storage and parking for two cars.

This really was a little gem with fantastic views and we felt totally secluded. Lovely to relax in the hot tub after a long day of exploring. Great walk for the dogs in the Woodland and many fantastic walks in the area close at hand. Would certainly recommend.

We had an absolutely lovely time at the hut. The hut itself is lovely and well put together, and we found the bed to be comfy. The separate bathroom and 'shed' area (with fridge and microwave) were both great. After walking, the hot tub is a real bonus. The views from the garden and all around are really lovely. It was so nice to see the horses so Read moreclose. The garden is truly enclosed so our doggies were safe. It was just a lovely holiday to get away from it all. We would highly recommend it. Hide

Was lovely to wake up to the horses neighing. Hot tub was easy to use, bed was really comfy and the location was good as felt away from it all but only 15 mins to city of Hereford for some retail therapy. Good amount of storage for small hut. Only issue was listed internet access but no Wi-Fi. Good job phone service was ok. Nice country walks.

My partner and I had a great stay! We brought our dog, she loved running around the enclosed garden and sniffing through the fence at the neighbouring horses. The shepherds hut was cosy and warm, it was great having the outhouse to put our bags and shoes in so we had ample space. Our highlight was definitely the views from the hot tub every morningRead more, watching the sheep graze! Hide

This little hut had a lovely position and out look. All that you needed was there and the owners seem to have thought it through well on what is provided. Great reception and handover and help on hand in needed. Nice little area for our dog to roam and chase the ball with views over the field and up the hill to the wood. Close enough to the city anRead mored plenty to do or just for resting and letting the time drift by. Hide
