Cottage with garden, barbecue & terrace

Kick back and relax at Hampton Wafre Cottage. Our beautiful detached 17th century barn renovation is situated on a working arable farm half a mile up a private drive, close to the village of Docklow in Herefordshire. This attractive stone cottage, with original features including exposed beams, makes the perfect getaway for one or two couples, or a family (and their pet pooch)! Short and midweek breaks are available, with a minimum stay of 4 nights. With fabulous unspoilt countryside views, indigenous wildlife and comfortable accommodation, the cottage provides an active yet peaceful holiday location. A lovely place to relax in a tranquil setting, explore the beautiful countryside with unrivalled walks straight from the front door, roam on the farm and fish for carp in the private on-site lake. Alternatively, Docklow Pools are located within the village which offer excellent fishing, together with their own pub and restaurant. The welcoming cottage is a real home-from-home, with charming features, elegant furnishings and great attention to detail. It benefits from a spacious light and airy open plan ground floor living space, comprising a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting area with the additional comfort of a wood burner and underfloor heating. A beautiful vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams is a great feature of the first floor, which comprises two delightful bedrooms, both with comfortable 5' double beds, and a bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower. The private enclosed garden has a paved terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue overlooking the attractive farm paddocks. A lovely quiet spot to spend some time and to enjoy al fresco dining!The immediate area offers many lovely walks, with the Three Choirs Way running close by, as well as the Three Rivers Ride cycle trail, horse riding and fishing. Nearby, the town of Bromyard (10 minutes' drive) has a good range of shops, restaurants and pubs. Leominster (12 minutes' drive) is a wonderful place to enjoy a lazy afternoon stroll. The town dates back to the 7th century and possesses many fine examples of architecture, along with a wide variety of shops, cafes and pubs. There is easy access to attractions such as stately homes, parks and gardens as well as the historic cathedral town of Hereford and the ancient market towns of Ledbury and Ludlow, the latter of nationwide fame for its many high quality restaurants. Explore your 'spiritual' side at Chase Distillery or the 'first cask' Wye Valley Brewery, both less than 20 minutes' drive, with tours and tastings easily arranged. Hampton Wafre is also ideally placed for exploring The Black and White Village Trail, not to mention the delights of neighbouring Shropshire and Worcestershire.
