This end-of-barn conversion at Holmer Farm sits in the scattered hamlet of Pudleston in rural Herefordshire. The property sleeps two guests in one king-size bedroom tucked into the eaves upstairs. You get a ground-floor shower room with excellent pressure. The separate kitchen comes with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher.

The sitting room offers long-distance country views across working farmland. Buzzards and red kites circle overhead. At night the stars come out in force thanks to minimal light pollution. A fenced courtyard with BBQ and garden furniture catches the late afternoon sun. Dogs can run in the adjacent field.

Leominster lies 5.9 miles away (12 minutes). Hereford sits 12 miles distant (23 minutes) with its Gothic Cathedral and Mappa Mundi. Ludlow Castle stands 12 miles off (25 minutes). Berrington Hall is 7.4 miles away (15 minutes).

Holmer Farm works brilliantly for couples after peaceful countryside walks and historic market towns. The owners provide generous welcome packs and respect your privacy throughout.
