Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Kerne Bridge, Herefordshire

Feel your shoulders drop as you sink into the hot tub in the garden of this single-storey countryside cottage in the Wye Valley National Landscape. Enjoy a romantic escape filled with alfresco dining and cosy movie nights with your partner and two canine companions. During the daytime, you can explore the scenic riverside and forest walking trails, nearby historical landmarks and charming market towns.

Enter the barn through the porch into the welcoming lounge with neutral tones with a splash of red, wooden furnishings and glass patio doors. Snuggle up on the leather sofa in front of the Smart TV while wrapped up in a soft blanket. Inside the green and white kitchen/diner is a contemporary one-wall fitted kitchen with glossy cabinets and grey countertops.

Opposite is a small dining table for two beside the window. Continue through the hallway to reach a shower room and a king-size bedroom. Outside, you will find a private courtyard with a hot tub, a BBQ and furniture.

While staying in the hamlet of Kerne Bridge, you could start your day with a pick-me-up from the local cafe before taking the hounds for a stroll along the River Wye (both within 1 mile). Discover the history of the area with a trip to the ruins of Goodrich Castle (2 miles) and soak up the panoramic views from Coppett Hill (2.5 miles). Cross the border to Wales and follow the hiking trails around Duchess Ride Viewpoint (15.5 miles).

Just 3.5 miles away is the riverside town of Ross-on-Wye, the birthplace of Henry V, where you can get your hands on antiques or stop for a bite to eat.
