Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Bodenham, Herefordshire

Nestled within the heart of the Broadfield Estate, this former gardener's cottage is the ultimate family-friendly rural retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life; a plethora of scenic trails carving through Herefordshire's countryside await to be explored from the doorstep. Boasting a roaring feature wood burner, a soothing neutral colour palette and plenty of natural sunlight, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home sets the scene for pure relaxation at the end of a busy day's adventure, beckoning weary walking muscles to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. The super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as a twin) shares the same charm and character as the rest of the ground floor whilst the two king-size bedrooms upstairs offer an oasis of calm to retire to; crisp, white linens will lull you into a dreamy slumber.

Make the most of your stunning scenery by dining alfresco on the patio as children and four-legged friends let off steam by roaming the large, enclosed lawn, bordered by impressive mature trees and shrubs. You'll find pure serenity in the magnificent Broadfield Estate, which boasts 22 acres of grounds to discover, perfect for those who love the great outdoors. Renowned for its local antique and curiosity shops and Folk Museum, the vibrant market town of Leominster (7.5 miles) is the perfect spot for culture vultures to dive into the history and heritage of the local area, whilst the market town of Ludlow (15.5 miles) across the border in Shropshire offers a medieval castle, bustling farmers market and food centre to discover.

The National Trust gardens at Berrington Hall, the Brockhampton Estate and Croft Castle can all be reached within 15 miles.
