Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Ford Bridge, Herefordshire

This charming, one-bedroom holiday home is in the heart of Herefordshire, offering a peaceful retreat within picturesque countryside for couples and solo travellers. It's located within the owner's grounds, which you'll also share with friendly sheep and goats. Nearby, explore a network of well-marked footpaths by foot, or cycle through winding country lanes with pretty views all around.

You'll be just 4 miles from the market town of Leominster which is great for pubs, cafes, antique shops and supermarkets, and just 10.5 mile from the beautiful cathedral city of Hereford. You'll have your own private entrance to this cosy abode. Once inside, an open-plan living space awaits, which is beautifully presented with local artwork and quality furnishings.

You'll have a TV plus a crackling wood burner for keeping cosy on chilly evenings. The summer room is fantastic for reading or enjoying morning tea, with its stunning garden and countryside views. Around the corner awaits the well-appointed kitchen, where you'll find all you need to whip up a holiday feast.

At night, retreat to the sumptuous king-size bedroom and enjoy a soak in its well-equipped en-suite shower room. Outside, you'll have a lovely, enclosed garden with a BBQ and patio. This space is enclosed so that dogs can run freely and safely.

An elevated platform boasts panoramic views of the Welsh hills, offering the perfect spot for an al fresco evening tipple. There's plenty to do nearby, perhaps popping to the medieval market town of Ludlow (14.5 miles) for a slap-up dinner in one of its Michelin-starred restaurants. Just 16 miles away is the border to the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, which offers lovely walking opportunities.

You can count on a National Trust property for a lovely day out, and there are several nearby – Berrington Hall (6.5 miles), Brockhampton Estate (13.5 miles) and Croft Castle (10 miles).
