“Great Stay”
We had great service from the owners, who live opposite the cottage, and were very flexible on our arrival time, the property was lovely and clean, with sheets and blankets supplied, plenty of towels for all of us, (and there was 4 adults and 2 small children), fast WiFi connection this was handy as the mobile phone signal was a little bit "hit and miss", having said that, this was entirely out of the owners control. i have to say that it was a very relaxed atmosphere, just carry on and do as you please, if we needed anything just slip across to the main house and ask, nothing was to much trouble. The 2 bedrooms had plenty of storage space, along with an upstairs toilet, you did have to watch out for the low beams, but that just goes with the territory!. Plenty of room to park vehicles, with a large lawned garden opposite fitted with lights, so no problem walking our 2 dogs there in the late evening, there is a large shed to the side of the property, just in case anyone with a dog would need to leave it there during the day for any reason, its more of an open barn, very open, but also very secure, so any dog would have plenty of room, this barn has a large gas BBQ that's available to use during your stay, with no shortage of gas supplied. Lots of Horse activity, but this isn't of any inconvenience, very informative conversations with some of the Horse owners, my grandson particularly liked a small horse called Scrumpy! Good location for all surrounding areas, and only 8 miles from the Welsh boarder, so a fantastic base for walking the Black Mountains and a visit to the Skirrid Inn, the local pub is probably a 15 minute walk, but not the best roads to walk along, as one section is quite busy. All of the usual large supermarkets are no more than a 10 minute drive, there's also one of those fast food takeaways starting with Mc, near the shopping area. What we liked the best! all of it! What i liked the least, some WD 40 could have been put on the doors & locks, to stop the creaking in the middle of the night, and save me having the rest of the family shouting at me!!. A Great place you wouldn't be disappointed.

“perfect base”
not having a recent review I was a little sceptical, on arrival that soon changed. A fantastic tucked away cottage with all what you could ask for & just as described. its on a stud farm, but isn't really that noisy, gone are the chickens & dogs these days so if that would worry you don't let it. The garden is adjacent, well kept, there is a dog run in a barn next door if you wish to use it, even with a bed & bowl! low beams in bedroom, but you soon get used to that, plenty of room, great shower room & large kitchen. Even the bus stop is in walking distance of a mile should you want to use it. A perfect base to explore & great hosts that leave you in peace! Thanks Mary & Pete for an enjoyable stay

“Dog friendly”
Comfortable, spacious well-equipped cottage. Very friendly, pleasant owners. Relaxed atmosphere. Garden is separate from the cottage, which is not so convenient for dog owners, but great to be able to walk dogs in the fields. Best feature is the comfortably equipped barn next to the cottage where dogs can be left in the day, with the owners keeping an eye on them, enabling you to go out without them.

“Nice Barn Conversion in a rural setting.”
This property was once the Dairy on the owners farm, it has now been converted into spacious holiday accomodation. The kitchen was very large with everything provided, and the bathroom was also a very generous size. The bedrooms were very attractive with beams across the rooms, so watch your head! Set a short distance from Hereford this property was in an ideal location for touring this attractive county, and its only a short distance from the Welsh border. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, and we have no hesitation in recommending this property.
The property
A quality barn conversion situated on a working farm with livery stable, in Winall, near the scattered rural village of Allensmore, surrounded by lovely countryside yet only 5 miles from the historic city of Hereford.
A comfortable, well-equipped property with a spacious sitting room, large bedrooms with wooden beams and a lawned garden, perfect for family fun.
Scenic walks, cycle trails, fishing and golf are all available locally, and the city of Hereford with its 11th century cathedral, medieval Chained Library, cider museum and good shops and restaurants is only a short drive away.
The picturesque Black and White villages are within easy driving distance, whilst further afield is the lovely Wye Gorge, popular for canoeing and balloon flights.
A superb destination for the whole family!
