Barn in Herefordshire

Tucked away in the Herefordshire countryside, this sympathetically restored granary is the perfect base for families and friends wanting to make the most of the nearby Wye Valley National Landscape. The peaceful rural village of Llangarron is an ideal base to explore the Wye Valley and Royal Forest of Dean, with a wealth of lanes and trails that can be explored on foot, bike or horseback from your front door. You can also try caving, abseiling, canoeing and a high wire rope course if you re feeling adventurous. The property is well positioned for exploring the riverside towns of Ross on Wye (5 miles), hailed as the birthplace of modern tourism with its 17th century market house, and Monmouth (6 miles), the birthplace of Henry V. Visit Goodrich Castle, established in 1095, set majestically within a wooded hill, and the spectacular views from Symonds Yat rock are also not to be missed. Alpaca experiences are available, pre booking with the owners of the cottage is necessary. Take in the peace and quiet before you step back in time to this sympathetically restored granary, the open plan kitchen/diner is brimming with character and offers a warm welcome to all that come and stay. The kitchen area is well equipped to prepare a filling breakfast or a tasty evening meal. A dining table takes centre stage with a traditional dresser set to the rear and is the perfect setting for a hearty supper after a full day exploring. This room opens onto a cosy lounge set with a sofa and two chairs and a Freeview TV ready for a movie. So, when the time comes to bid goodnight, climb the stairs to find two bedrooms watch out for the sloping ceilings on the way up. A super king size zip and link bed (which can be made up as a twin on request) can be found in the spacious main bedroom, with plenty of room for a travel cot if required. Wood panelling, exposed beams and views onto the cider mill make this a restful place to sleep. There is a bunk bedroom with standard size bunk beds for two, enjoying views onto the grounds. The family bathroom completes the property. Step outside and wander across to open gardens, there is a table and chairs set to the side of the herb garden, along with a BBQ.
