A magical hideaway, set within rolling Herefordshire countryside, this unique retreat nestles in idyllic surroundings set within a vineyard. With views out across the owner’s vineyards, the impressive, former barn has been beautifully and creatively finished to offer high-specification accommodation with a stylish and truly special finish. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom cottage makes a heavenly holiday hideaway for a couple on a romantic break. Situated at St Weonards, 8 miles from Monmouth and 10 miles from Ross-on-Wye, it is well placed for those wishing to explore the picturesque borderlands of England and Wales, as well as the magnificent Wye Valley. From here, follow a section of the long-distance Offa’s Dyke Path. Venture into Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons, 12.5 miles away, and spend time in the charming market town of Abergavenny, 16 miles away, which is known for its restaurants and pubs that serve dishes made with local produce.
Let yourselves into the enticing barn, which enjoys an elevated position, with commanding views out across the leafy vineyards and verdant fields. Find yourselves in the welcoming kitchen/diner, with its farmhouse table, wooden floor and beamed ceilings. Unpack the fresh Herefordshire provisions you have bought on your trip out, then pop open a bottle of chilled wine made from grapes grown right here. Light the wood burner and enjoy a glass or two at the table before preparing a romantic meal for two. A chic shower room with underfloor heating is also downstairs. Climb the stairs up to the striking first floor of the barn to discover its impressive lounge. This lovely space has a vaulted and beamed ceiling, a beautiful wooden floor and gorgeous, understated furniture and furnishings. Peruse the glossy magazines, choose a DVD you haven’t watched before and settle down together in front of a good film on the soft seating. There is also a useful desk area for catching up on any work. A bank of glass separates the lounge from the sumptuous king-size bedroom, where you are guaranteed a superb night’s sleep.
Have morning coffee and breakfast out on the garden terrace on fine summer mornings. Dine out here too and share another bottle of that delicious Herefordshire wine as the sun sets over the vineyards. There is private, off-road parking for one car here.
