About this house rental

Kick back and relax at Hampton Wafre Cottage. Our beautiful detached 17th century barn renovation is situated on a working arable farm half a mile up a private drive, close to the village of Docklow in Herefordshire. This attractive stone cottage, with original features including exposed beams, makes the perfect getaway for one or two couples, or a family (and their pet pooch)! Short and midweek breaks are available, with a minimum stay of 4 nights.

With fabulous unspoilt countryside views, indigenous wildlife and comfortable accommodation, the cottage provides an active yet peaceful holiday location. A lovely place to relax in a tranquil setting, explore the beautiful countryside with unrivalled walks straight from the front door, roam on the farm and fish for carp in the private on-site lake. Alternatively, Docklow Pools are located within the village which offer excellent fishing, together with their own pub and restaurant.

The welcoming cottage is a real home-from-home, with charming features, elegant furnishings and great attention to detail. It benefits from a spacious light and airy open plan ground floor living space, comprising a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting area with the additional comfort of a wood burner and underfloor heating.

A beautiful vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams is a great feature of the first floor, which comprises two delightful bedrooms, both with comfortable 5' double beds, and a bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower.

The private enclosed garden has a paved terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue overlooking the attractive farm paddocks. A lovely quiet spot to spend some time and to enjoy al fresco dining!

Beautiful, peaceful cottage in wonderful countryside
Beautiful, peaceful cottage in wonderful countryside
We had a lovely week in this ancient, but brilliantly renovated cottage. Clean, cosy, but spacious, with a lovely log burner. Nothing about it was poky, and although there was only one room downstairs it was modern, and open plan, and we felt that we had masses of space - a family of four, plus dogs ! Perfect, sheltered garden, wonderful views, and within 5 mins of Leominster, and Bromyard - not much further to Hereford and Ludlow, although we headed to the hills of Kington, and Offas Dyke. Good beds, linen, and a comprehensive hamper with lots of local bits and bobs. Pub doing takaway food just up the road was great as our rescue dogs are very nervous and reactive, and the garden was ideal for eating. We had super walks from the door, and the boys had a huge amount of fun fishing, canoeing, and splashing about in the lakes. Lots of foodie farm shops, and cider nearby. This was a great place to rest, and enjoy a quiet few days away from it all, and we were made very welcome.
