“The cottage was as advertised, cosy and quaint.”

The location was peaceful and quiet and the lady looking after the cottage very helpful. I feel the patio area would benefit from being made dog secure so you could enjoy the outside without fear of your dog wandering into neighboring cottage garden. There is a secure paddock at the end of the garden though.

“Yew Tree cottage was spotlessly clean, this was a concern of mine due to covid, but as soon as I walked in I could tell it was clean.”

The owners were really helpful during our stay and made us feel welcomed. The welcome package of milk in the fridge, Docklow apple juice, cookies and crisps were very much appreciated. The grounds of Docklow Manor are amazing and there are plenty of dog friendly walks in the area.

“We had a great time at the cottage.”

The courtyard garden was just amazing, a lovely little sun trap. Every evening, we lit the fire which was gorgeous. The cottage was compact and bijoux and there were some lovely little things left for us to enjoy. We appreciated the filter coffee, crisps, biscuits and apple juice. The beds were also really comfortable, we all slept really well. My only slight complaint was that whoever cleans the cottage needs reminding of a few things. There was rubbish in the bedroom bin, kitchen drawers had crumbs and the bath mat was not very hygienic. However, overall a fabulous place to stay!

“Perfect hideaway for family retreats- we even took our 4 month old puppy!”

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The cottage sits on the grounds of docklow manor and the owners are happy for you to explore and for the kids to play in their grounds. They have a football net, a trampoline and a treehouse in the woods. The cottage is lovely and cosy and has everything you need in it, the open plan set up is ideal for making dinner with the family - the cupboards are stocked work every utensil you can think of. We arrived to find a bottle of milk and docklow manor's own apple juice in the fridge. Upstairs in the cottage their are two spacious bedrooms which bot have lovely views. There is a good selection of DVDs and some classic board games and in the twin bedroom there is a bookcase full of books! The garden is an ideal place for relaxing , it also has a bbq. You step out onto a paved area with seating and grass path leads to the top of the garden to a grassed area which can be closed off your dog to roam free. At either side of the path they have veg patches and flowers - which a gardener attends. From the garden you access the manor through the hedge where it opens up to amazing views and from their you can explore. We visited Leominster park (10 min drive) which is great for families - with a gruffalo trail and play area and a little coffee hut. Parking it cheap too! We ate at The Stockton Cross (10 min drive from cottage) which is really good - family and dog friendly. The staff were amazing in dealing with covid rules and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend the cottage and if we chance will definitely return.

About the location

DOCKLOW

Leominster 5.5 miles; Bromyard 6.5 miles; Hereford 17 miles.

The tiny hamlet of Docklow is surrounded by rolling Herefordshire countryside, and there are some traditional inns within a short drive, which offer a warm welcome and excellent food. Docklow is ideally placed for exploring everything this peaceful county has to offer, as well as – a little further afield - the delights of neighbouring Shropshire, Worcestershire and The Cotswolds.
The area has many lovely walks, including the long-distance Three Choirs Way and Offa’s Dyke, and there are also cycle trails, horse riding and fishing all available nearby. A short drive from Docklow is the historic town of Leominster, with the lovely Priory church, half-timbered architecture, many antique shops and a variety of other independent shops and cafés. A little further away is the cathedral city of Hereford, where the majestic cathedral itself is home to the fascinating Mappa Mundi, and Chained Library. Hereford dates to Saxon times, and its position in the Welsh Marches made it the site of many a skirmish over the centuries. Surrounded by the hills beyond, and with its medieval bridge over the lazy, winding River Wye, it is the very image of picturesque England.
