Keepers Cottage Description

Keepers Cottage details

Keepers Cottage is a Victorian gamekeepers house and has been completely refurbished to a very high standard, it offers high quality accommodation for up to six people in the cottage and the adjacent converted barn. It is reached by a private track through the woods and is situated in a grassy woodland glade.

Guests have the opportunity to walk or mountain bike on the owners' private estate and in the woods around the house. Ideal den making opportunities for the young, and the surrounding countryside is a haven for wildlife and is steeped in history. Offas Dyke, the border between England and Wales in the Dark Ages, runs actually through the estate and the only neighbours in the woods are fallow deer and badgers as well as buzzards, red kites, ravens and woodcock.

Situated between Hereford and Hay-on-Wye, Keepers Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the Welsh borders, the Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons and the historic Hereford Cathedral or for touring the unspoilt market towns of Leominster, Kington and Ross-on- Wye. If you would prefer to relax at home, the house itself has a cinema and a sauna as well as a table tennis table and the house and barn are completely enclosed with a courtyard for outside dining and letting children and dogs run free but safely.

Locally, there are excellent pubs and restaurants including the Michelin star pub The Stagg Inn. There is an excellent farm shop and cafe two miles away and other convenience shopping is available four miles away. The famous bookshops of Hay-on-Wye and the gastronomic mecca of Ludlow are also within very easy reach.

If you really want to get away from it all, you can hole up in the cottage and apart from the occasional gamekeeper or woodsman passing by, you will be completely undisturbed.
