  • "We thought the property was excellent."

    It was well maintained to a high standard and the setting and views were fantastic. We were lucky that we enjoyed sunshine all week. I think the track leading to the house may have presented some problems if the weather had been wet. Overall we all enjoyed our stay very much.

  • "This property was beautiful."

    We had the most amazing time here, there are so many lovely places to go out walking and some nice pubs around. The views from the cottage can not be overstated, I honestly could have stood outside looking across the countryside for hours. The property is very secluded which we loved as it felt like we had left the world behind.

  • "Excellent property, so clean and well presented with super surroundings and space for 10 adults."

    More mugs and water tumbler glasses would be perfect. Definitely the best property/holiday we’ve had recently.

  • "Lovely house surrounded by nature."

    Our only neighbours were the deer, foxes and pheasants that passed right through the garden. Red Kites above the house. Felt exclusive coming up the long drive. Great decor. All rooms are a good size. Top quality decor. Good friendly local pub with good food. We walked to the Queens Aboretum which is great and the Chatsworth Court House is a pleasant walk to the bottom of the hill.

  • "All absolutely beautiful, we had a wonderful stay."

    Our daughter in law said it was the best bed that she’s ever slept in. It was very well equipped, with a very nice welcome pack! (Great crisps and apple juice, amongst other things). Just a couple of suggestions about the kitchen. I couldn’t find a tray. The mugs too small really and another water jug would be good. It was freezing in the annex bedroom when we arrived and even though we put the heater on we were freezing on the first night sleeping in our dressing gowns and socks. Everything was so wonderful that we wouldn’t like to advise that as a complaint but it was an error! I had to wash the dishes by hand on the last evening as the dishwasher had a fault. We showed this to the cleaner. One glass had a chip in it so we put it to one side. Thank you, we would love to return!

  • "Absolutely fabulous property , couldn’t fault it at all."

    Very clean, spacious & everything provided. All bedrooms en suite . The house was beautifully decorated. Lovely quiet location for a group who want to relax & enjoy each others company. The Hot tub was amazing & with a one bedroom annex attached. We lost an item when we left & the management team of the house were really helpful in finding it & returning to us. Thank you.

The property

Settled on the outskirts of the rural village of Bodenham, Herefordshire, on a 600-acre working farm with breathtaking views is the idyllic cottage, Henhouse Farm.

It is the ideal retreat for a large family or group of friends boasting 4 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, and the Shepherd's Barn, boasting another spacious bedroom, en-suite and separate kitchenette, all with ample parking.

Henhouse Farm displays many traditional features including exposed stone walls, oak beams and a wood burning stove, whilst combining contemporary living space in the orangery, where you can sit back, relax and watch the deer pass by.

Prepare a meal in the open plan kitchen, complete with AGA range cooker.

Eat your freshly cooked meal in the spacious dining room, and end your night relaxing in the snug with a family movie or a good book.

Offering peace and quiet, the Shepherd's barn is just a few steps away from the farmhouse and is the perfect place to retreat to, whilst being the ideal social hub for a games night or a soak in the hot tub.

Within easy reach of Henhouse Farm are the medieval village of Bromyard and the historic cathedral city of Hereford, the Wye and Golden Valleys, and the fascinating towns of Leominster and Ludlow.

Henhouse Farm is itself surrounded by beautiful walkways with unbelievable views, and with Queenswood County Park and Arboretum and the historic Hampton Court Castle close by, your possibilities to walk and explore are endless.

The River Lugg is also a hidden gem, worth a tour on a sunny day, or perhaps try some fishing at the local Docklow fishing pools.

You could finish your day of exploring with some delicious home cooked food at the 16th Century England's Gate Inn.

Make new memories, and enjoy a holiday with loved ones at Henhouse Farm you will never forget.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
