About this property
Woodlands Cottage is a beautiful family-sized house, with its own enclosed and pretty garden, in the grounds of Docklow Manor.
It’s situated in the tiny rural hamlet of Docklow, and has extensive views west of the rolling Herefordshire countryside towards Wales.
This spacious accommodation is perfect for family or friends seeking a restorative holiday in the rural idyll of this unspoilt county of apple orchards and hop fields, traditional pubs and picturesque villages.
A winding path through the pretty garden of Woodlands Cottage leads you to the front door.
Step into the large, stylish kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you could possibly need to rustle up a delicious evening meal before heading into the comfortable sitting room, which boasts a superb selection of DVDs, books and games.

There’s an en-suite shower room in the twin bedroom, and a separate family-sized bathroom too, with a bath and hand-held shower.
The property is set in the beautiful 4-acre grounds of Docklow Manor, which guests are welcome to explore. There are formal lawns, herbaceous borders, a kitchen garden, an orchard of apple, pear and cherry trees, and a wilder wooded area with two giant Wellingtonia redwoods, rhododendrons and azaleas, and at the right time of year, a mass of spring flowers. There are benches here and there, for guests to sit and enjoy the glorious far-reaching views towards Hay Bluff and the Brecon Beacons. Younger guests will find there’s plenty of room to play football, and there’s a trampoline too (on which children must be supervised by an adult).

Brian & Jane made us very welcome. It's a lovely cottage and quite likely we'll be coming back. It was ideal for us we were all very comfortable and the garden is secure for dogs.

I wouldnât normally stay in a cottage attached to the ownerâs house but I want to thank Jane for being so welcoming , to the point where my friend felt comfortable enough to ask for some flour sheâd needed and I felt comfortable walking my dogs around the beautiful grounds. My friend is a chef and she was impressed with the kitchen quality. I found the bed very comfortable which is important. Very handy to have 2 sofas and 2 bathrooms. The weather was atrocious but we hunkered down. We did think the wood burner was real and were a little disappointed to find it was electric, but that was our mistake. The WiFi isnât great but my friend was able to make zoom calls so it was adequate. Spotlessly clean , a bit draughty and cold but it was December in the middle of a 3 day storm ! The garden was enclosed and safe for the dogs which was very important . An enjoyable stay .
