About this property
Presteigne 4.1 miles. Denbigh Hall is a detached, character cottage settled in Stansbatch near Presteigne, Herefordshire. Constructed 300 years ago and enjoying easy access to a walking trail, Denbigh Hall is the perfect countryside retreat for a family of six. After parking in one of the two handy off-road parking spaces, make your way inside the house to be welcomed by a well-presented kitchen, a space sporting colourful tiling, a good selection of appliances, along with dual-aspect windows that give the space a light and airy feel. When the budding chef has cooked up a storm in the kitchen, set the table in the close-by dining room, a rustic space enjoying exposed stonework, that makes for a fabulous socialising and dining spot. After enjoying an indulgent meal, progress to the sitting room, where you can stretch out on the sofas under exposed beams and in front of the toasty woodburning stove and TV. Completing the ground floor is a utility room housing a handy washer/dryer, as well as a contemporary shower room, enjoying marble tiling throughout and a glass cubicle. When day turns to night, climb the wooden staircase to find three thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, where you can tuck the little ones up in the charming twin, before resting in a double with a stylish, iron bed frame and access to a fabulous en-suite bathroom, where you can choose to soak up in a roll-top bath or rinse off in the glass, walk-in shower; further along you can find another, welcoming double. The garden is definitely a highlight of the property, featuring a spacious lawn that is home to a hammock for you to savour an afternoon nap on, before relishing a spot of alfresco dining or simply enjoying a book on the patio; the space also boasts stunning views of the countryside, so be sure to make the most of it! You can wander to Titley to find the delightful pub of The Stagg Inn, or continue to Presteigne, where all of your amenities rest in one setting, including a range of pubs, eateries and shops; Presteigne is also home to the fascinating Judge's Lodging and enjoys access to the vast Nash Wood, where you can cycle or walk to your heart's content. For a day out with a difference, travel to Leopminster, where you can enjoy a tour of the Leominster Museum, stop for a bite to eat at The White Lion Inn, before venturing a little further afield to the breathtaking, 15th century Hampton Court Castle for an idyllic afternoon outing. Hay-on-Wye is a scenic drive away and is home to the fantastic Hay Castle, the delightful outdoor space of The Warren, and a weekly market where you can pick up local wares. For more fun in Herefordshire, be sure to visit Ludlow and Hereford where plenty of activities are waiting to be partaken in, or wander north to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a day immersed in the outdoors. For a rural escape in a quaint retreat, choose Denbigh Hall.
The ancient town of Presteigne is settled on the border of England and Wales in Powys.

A sign on the cottage to indicate it is Denbigh hall. It was cosy too and Iâm sure the garden will be a picture later in the year. A quieter setting would be hard to find I think. We enjoyed our stay very much. It is a bit hazardous for tall people but all part of its quirkiness.

It was very well equipped and in the evening with the wood burner on was so cosy. Would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely book a return visit.

Unfortunately there was a mix up with the cleaning booking but this was quickly sorted out with a few phone calls. The property has lots of character, wonderful old staircases and floorboards. The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of pots, pans, plates and cutlery as well as a wide range of cleaning products. There is an excellent wood burner and the house is warm and cosy. The garden is really large and excellent for our dog. The house is at the very end of a lane, the road goes no further so it is lovely and quiet with no passing traffic, we only saw 2 people walking past all week. There is excellent walking from the door, an OS map would be handy as some of the way markers are missing. We did not find the low doorways an issue but the stairs would be challenge for those with mobility issues. The TV and WIFI are excellent. This is a lovely dog friendly property and we would happily return.
