1 bedroom Cottage near Hereford, Herefordshire, England

Escape to this magical shepherd’s hut in the peaceful hamlet of Twyford and spend time with your loved one amid the tranquil Herefordshire countryside. Set within its own private garden on the edge of a meadow, this gorgeous hideaway sleeps two people, making it the perfect romantic retreat. Ideal for walkers and dog lovers, this property offers 36 acres of grounds set within a National Landscape. After long country walks, return here to bubble beneath the stars or snuggle up by the wood burner.

Set on the fringes of a mature meadow and shaded by trees, this snug retreat has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space and comfort. A homage to times past, the studio-style interior features cladded walls, picture windows and a cosy wood burner. The kitchenette is small but perfectly formed with all the essentials for preparing meals, and a small oak table folds out into a table for two. When night falls, snuggle under the covers of the double bed, before a refreshing shower leaves you ready for fresh adventures the following day. The charm continues outside where you’ll find a hot tub, a BBQ and outdoor furniture – perfect for al fresco feasts and evenings watching the stars.

There’s a wealth of walking opportunities on your doorstep, with a network of pathways through the owner’s land. Further afield, you’ll find easy access to the Wye Valley Way, Offa’s Dyke and the Forest of Dean (within 25 miles), offering walking routes and cycling trails for all abilities. The area is rich in market towns from the literary hub of Hay-on-Wye (23 miles) to charming Ross-on-Wye (11.5 miles).
