The property

Hereford 3 miles.

Eightlands is a charming thatched cottage settled into the countryside outskirts of Hereford, in the village of Hampton Bishop, boasting character features, a woodburning stove, and close by pub, making it an ideal base for a couple seeking a romantic retreat to Herefordshire.

Attention to detail and traditional features bring character to this delightful property, and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is perfect for couples to feel right at home.

Entering this space, you will be welcomed by a plush living/dining space with wooden beams threaded throughout, accompanied by signature walls and a charming gas fired stove, ideal for warming your feet beside after a long day of exploring, or enjoying a hearty meal with your significant other.

Tucked into the corner, you will find a softly furnished kitchen, carrying an almost glistening effect, for a personal touch, and boasting ample amenities for home cooking.

Through a narrow and enchanting doorway, a shower room awaits, with a classical white finish and low ceilings.

Moving up the spiral staircase, there is a tasteful mezzanine area, showcasing a double bed, neutral colours and oak furniture.

The wooden beams, stone effect and decoration intertwine to create an eye-catching country feel to the property.

Outside of the cottage, the theme is continued, with a black and white structure that echoes style from the offset, and there is a sitting area ideal for morning coffee, nestled into mature shrubs.

Wander out into the quaint village of Hampton Bishop, where you will find a local pub, the Bunch of Carrots, and for more amenities, eateries, and cafés, head into the bustling town of Hereford which hosts many historic buildings and attractions.

Hereford is a beautiful town offering attractions such as Hereford Cathedral, a selection of museums, and further afield, Belmont Abbey, The Blossom Trail, showcasing beautiful blossom trees from mid-march to mid-may, and the Black and White Trail, a forty mile trail leading to the historic town of Leominster and capturing views of stunning timber-framed buildings.

Explore the local area through the Golden Valley, where walks allow guests to enjoy the River Dore and the Black Mountains, or why not head into the Wye Valley, the Malvern Hills National Landscape, or the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park?

Visit the town of Hay-on-Wye, known for its many bookshops and yearly Hay Festival, or head over to Gloucester?

Make an unforgettable retreat for two with a stay at the charming Eightlands.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

Where you’ll be staying

HEREFORD

Leominster 14 miles.

The cathedral city of Hereford dates back to Saxon times, and with its medieval bridge over the winding River Wye it is the very image of picturesque England. With a mix of buildings from almost every British era, eclectic Hereford is a popular base for those seeking to explore the locale – being ideally placed for accessing the Black and White villages of the region, not to mention the delights of neighbouring Shropshire, Worcestershire and The Cotswolds. Famous as a cider producing town, Hereford is also the home of the Mappa Mundi, the largest and most elaborate pre-15th century map in existence, which resides in the cathedral alongside the famous Chained Library – a collection of over 1500 rare books from as early as the 8th century. Nearby is the half timbered town of Leominster, filled with medieval buildings, often overhanging the street, and also accessible is the natural splendour of Symonds Yat, a rocky outcrop on a 5 mile bend of the River Wye, with spectacular views and the opportunity to spot protected peregrine falcons flying from their nests.
