The pretty village of Abbey Dore is situated on the River Dore, at the southern end of the beautiful Golden Valley, close to the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains. The village is home to the old established Abbey Dore Court Gardens, open to the public between April and September, Dore Abbey, founded in 1147 by Cistercian monks and restored to its present form in the 18th and 19th Century. Just 12 miles away is the ancient city of Hereford, which dates back to the 7th Century and is home to a magnificent cathedral, the famous 'chained library', Mappa Mundi and a medieval bridge over the winding River Wye. The wonderful market town of Hay-on-Wye, famous for its 30-plus book shops, excellent pubs, restaurants and antique shops, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in Wales, is only 15 miles from Abbey Dore. Surrounded by pleasant orchards and cornfields, the village is also close to the Offa's Dyke and Wye Valley walks - a wonderful all year round location with plenty to see and do for all the family.

A very special property, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy a fully restored, wonderful 18th century inn with a Victorian addition, set in its own grounds with a luxurious hot tub and surrounded by the renowned 6 acre Abbey Dore Court Gardens. Set in the rural village of Abbey Dore, 12 miles from Hereford, at the southern end of the beautiful Golden Valley in Herefordshire, this spacious property simply oozes Victorian splendour, from the grandeur of the imposing entrance hall, to the magnificent drawing room (formerly the ballroom) with fireplace and intricate architraving, to the grand dining room and the welcoming morning room, most with an open fire or woodburner. The kitchen boasts an AGA and an electric cooker with ceramic hob, there is a dedicated room for the young (or young at heart) with beanbags, television and computer console, while the bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable. Most rooms in the house offer lovely views over the gardens and river, which runs through the grounds alongside the house. Having featured on Channel 4's Country House Rescue, the property is perfect for large families or groups of friends - imagine spending time dining in this impressive country house, before retiring to one of the many grand rooms to settle down for the evening together. Surrounded by lovely scenic countryside, the property is ideal for walking and cycling, especially in the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains. For an easier pace, simply explore the delightful surrounding villages, with their excellent pubs, restaurants, churches and antique shops.

Beautiful, well kept house equipped with pretty much everything you would need for a week away with friends, family or a team of energetic boot campers! The owners were accommodating and helped us out wherever possible. Highly recommended.
