Is Uplands Dower House Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Children have dedicated play facilities including a games room and outdoor cricket area. The extensive gardens provide space for active play on the games lawn. The family bedroom features bunk beds alongside a king-size bed. Outdoor areas include wildflower meadows for exploration. Parents should supervise children around the pond and on steps leading to the family room.

For Couples

This property is not ideal for couples. The five-bedroom layout and extensive facilities are designed for larger family groups and multi-generational gatherings. Couples would find the space too large for an intimate break. The sitting room with open fire and snug with woodburning stove provide cosy areas but the overall scale suits groups rather than romantic getaways.

Pet Friendly

Pets are not permitted at Uplands Dower House. The property's stock-fenced paddock is used for sheep grazing approximately three times per year. This makes it unsuitable for dogs. The extensive gardens and rural location might seem ideal for pets but the seasonal livestock use prevents pet bookings. Consider alternative pet-friendly properties in the Herefordshire area instead.

Uplands Dower House Reviews

Laurence

The house was amazing. So much space for a family gathering, toys and games for the kids and the gardens were incredible. Had lots of fun with the croquet. Everything was squeaky clean and Becky was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely be staying again sometime.

Alison

The house was perfect for a multi generational stay. Plenty of space and yet privacy. Great areas for convivial activity, and a wonderful garden with spaces for play and reflection. Fabulous views. The host was super approachable, friendly and helpful, and any query answered promptly. A fabulous stay.

Uplands Dower House is a spacious property set on a hill just outside Ledbury. The grounds are extensive and the garden beautiful. The exterior of the house needs painting and the interior would benefit from some TLC many empty picture hooks, marks on walls, stains on carpets etc. However, this is a very special house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay the view from the terrace is spectacular!

Hilary

This is a wonderful house for a multigenerational family gathering. It's beautiful, well appointed, in a glorious setting, and offers lots of different spaces for a large group. We were pleasantly surprised at how well set up the house was for children, including a playroom and outdoor games. Communication from the hosts was excellent.
