Brimming with character and charm, this quaint 19th-century stone cottage surrounded by the peace and serenity of the idyllic village of Hoarwithy is the perfect rural retreat for couples and families eager to escape to the countryside.

The roaring wood burner and exposed beams create a truly warming ambience in the cosy lounge, inviting tired travellers to take the weight off and unwind at the end of a busy day's adventure. Combining rustic décor reminiscent of a country cottage with delightful contemporary touches, the spacious kitchen will capture your imagination, beckoning you to get creative with your new local flavours, whilst the adjoining dining room provides the perfect peaceful spot to dine with loved ones long into the evening. Affording wonderfully green views across the garden and beyond, the characterful king-size and twin zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as a super-king-size) upstairs offer a haven of serenity to retire to at the end of a long day. Soak up your fresh, countryside air by dining alfresco on the landscaped terrace, enjoying views across the surrounding mature gardens, as children play games on the lawn.

Experience everything rural life has to offer from the sleepy village of Hoarwithy, from scenic country walks to perusing the local village shop for some fantastic produce. Keen walkers can join the magnificent Wye Valley Walk a mile from the doorstep whilst cyclists can enjoy a network of country lanes and national cycle routes nearby. Those who love life on the water can hire a canoe within the village to explore the quietest part of the River Wye from its best watery angle. The charming market town of Ross-on-Wye 8.5 miles away offers some of this area's best local produce from its array of shops, cafes and restaurants.
