Lovely, comfortable and peaceful holiday cottage. Everything has been thought of and the welcome hamper kept us going for our stay.

Perfect accommodation. Quiet and peaceful in cider apple orchard. Simon and Diana were very welcoming and the facilities in the barn were excellent with beautiful view of garden. Simon also offered a very interesting motorised tour of the orchards. Plenty of NT and gardens to visit and Hereford Cathedral and Malvern nearby. We would love to stay again.
