Description
Perched on the outskirts of Kingsland, Herefordshire, is this wonderful character-filled, Bullfinch Cottage.
Enjoying a tranquil location with easy access to the local amenities and surrounding areas, Bullfinch Cottage is a superb pet-friendly choice for couples or a family of four.
The property benefits from off-road parking and an outdoor seating area, where you can dine alfresco or just simply soak up your surroundings with a pint of ale or glass of wine to suit; for walkers, a public footpath also starts right from your doorstep.
Inside, you will find a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to whip up those family favourites, a homely dining space for four and a beautiful sitting area with exposed stonework, snug seating, a Smart 4K TV and a woodburning stove to relax into at the end of your day.
Completing the ground floor is a handy cloakroom and small storage cupboard.
Upstairs, you can wash away the day's adventures in Bullfinch’s well-appointed shower room, before retiring to one of two beautifully presented bedrooms, a double with en-suite bathroom, and a delightful twin, to curl up with your favourite book or catch up on some rest.
The ancient village of Kingsland is just a short drive away where you will find a couple of traditional pubs with the vibrant village of Yarpole also close by which is between Ludlow and Leominster and which is mentioned in the “Domesday Book”, boasts an award-winning community shop and offers some great walks which are rewarded with breath-taking views.
Next stop is Leominster, where you can delve into the town's fascinating history at the Leominster Museum, or for a super day out (or two!) why not visit historic Ludlow, home to one of the finest medieval castle ruins in England and more than 500 listed buildings?
There are so many fantastic activities for the whole family to enjoy from high wires and paintball to quad trekking and raft building, all available at nearby Oaker Wood Activity Centre.
Not far away are the National Trust sites of Croft Castle, a 17th century manor house and Berrington Hall, an 18th century mansion.
A little further afield is the Judge's Lodgings in Presteigne, Stokesay Castle, the renowned Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre and the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm are also all well worth a visit.
Venture into Hereford and you'll discover the Black and White Museum (built in 1621) and Hereford Cathedral - home to the Mappa Mundi (Hereford's famous medieval map used by scholars to interpret the world over 700 years ago) and the captivating, chained library (a collection of rare and ancient books). Set in the former Bulmer's Cider Factory, the Museum of Cider is also worth a visit.
For an idyllic escape to Herefordshire, choose Bullfinch Cottage.

What guests are saying
We really enjoyed our stay in Bullfinch cottage.
We arrived to some personal welcome notes which were a lovely touch, along with a basket of firewood and some freshly laid eggs - this made us feel very welcome. Ed was on hand the few times we had questions and helped us quickly which was fantastic. The property was very quaint with a stunning setting and everywhere was very clean. Facilities wise we had everything that we needed and the log burner was a perfect addition for our October stay. We had a shop delivered to the property ok out first day which made life easier and we loved exploring the grounds. A few things which would have really made this stay a 5 star for us would have been: 1. A comfier bed - the master bedroom bed was quite hard which meant that we had quite restful sleeps. 2. A shower in the ensuite. Whilst the bath was available, a shower of a morning is an essential part of the day for us and we were having to all share one bathroom for this, making it quite difficult to get out early. 3. The ability to control the heating ourselves. The day we arrived it was a storm and so we were freezing, whilst Ed quickly turned the heating on for us when we let him know, this then became a problem thought the stay - sometimes too cold and sometimes too hot, with no ability to control this ourselves. We didn't want to keep mithering the owners and so just ended up coping with this but it definitely made us less comfortable and had we have been able to control this ourselves we could have turned it off when too hot and on for a short while when too cold. This is essential, especially for an Autumn/winter stay. 4. A bigger fridge - As a family of 4 staying for a week, we struggled to fit everything in the fridge and had to keep things outside of the fridge which should have been in there.
We had a really comfortable stay at Bullfinch Cottage - extremely clean and comfortable.
Excellent location, quiet with lovely walks nearby. Very well equipped accommodation. The owner is nearby and very much appreciated the lovely eggs and him popping by to make sure we had everything we needed - thank you Ed. Everything was wonderful and my only concern was the shower - more than likely an error on my part but was unable to get a comfortable temperature - either boiling hot or freezing cold. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back next year.
Lovely remote setting, great cottage, clean and spacious.
