About this property
A traditional semi-detached 19th century cottage located in the Herefordshire village of Upton Bishop. This lovely cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside which offers many walks, cycle routes and horseback riding. The cottage benefits from many original features including stone flag floors, ceiling beams, elm doors and a wonderful elm staircase. A very well-equipped kitchen leads to a spacious snug with a double sofa bed. There is a lovely dining room to seat all guests and a warm and welcoming sitting room with open fire and lovely views across the large cottage garden. Make your way upstairs to the first floor double bedroom and cottage bathroom. The second floor has a twin bedroom with long distant views to the Malvern Hills. Outside, the wonderful enclosed rear garden can be enjoyed at any time of day with a large lawned area for picnics and family games and a patio with furniture where guests can enjoy alfresco dining on a summer's evening. Take a stroll to the village pub which serves home-cooked food using local produce, as well as a good selection of real ales. The ancient town of Newent and pretty riverside town of Ross-on-Wye are both close by. Why not visit a National Trust property or try one of the many outdoor activities on offer in the area? A wonderful cottage to be enjoyed at any time of year.

It was very clean, cosy, comfortable and we felt very welcome. The garden was perfectly secure for our children and dog to run around and enjoy, the kitchen well equipped and a ideal base for us to explore the Wye Valley. Great location, wonderful cottage and would definitely recommend.

The house was quirky but very homely and comfortable, it had everything we needed, the garden was amazing and the location was very peaceful. Other people have commented on how friendly and helpful the owners were without being at all intrusive and we agree completely with that! They were lovely. We went to Ross on Wye, Hereford, Newent and Gloucester while we were here, all places which are worth a visit. Ross had some lovely places for meals. Newent had a lovely lake and quaint shops. Upton Bishop itself was a great place for walking our dog. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday and we would happily stay in The Old House again.
