About this house rental
Great for those family gatherings, groups of friends or residential retreats. Whatever the occasion, whenever the stay - we’re about good times and friendly luxury.
Situated on the doorstep of Hereford city, just 3 miles in one direction and rolling countryside in the other; close to the forest of Dean, the Welsh boarders, Brecon Beacon national park and the famous book town - Hay on Wye, to name but a few.
Tucked away down a no through lane, boasting lovely country side views, The Priory is situated in a small hamlet of houses and our own three acres of land. On your approach to the house you will find plenty of private parking.
The bedrooms
6 bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 adults, all en-suite; with the option to add three additional beds suitable for children sharing parent’s rooms. Please enquire directly for more information regarding extra beds in bedrooms or larger numbers.
Two x one bedroom apartments (sleeping 2 adults in each) which can be added to your booking.
Booked together we can sleep 16 plus children. Price quoted is for 12 people in the main house and does not include the apartments.
All bedrooms have been designed to convey that calm unfussy feeling. Super comfortable pocket sprung beds, duvets suitable for all seasons, plump pillows, crisp white bed linen and fluffy bath towels.
The details:
• located on the first floor with views of the garden
• En-suite with bath or shower
• Flat screen TV
• Free wifi
• Hair Dryer
• Toiletries – Myddfai Luxury Welsh bath and body products with a social conscience, supporting young adults with learning difficulties to achieve more.
The living space
High ceilings, wooden floors and original shutters set the style of this period former-rectory. Fully equipped with high quality furnishings, tv and bluray player, wifi access and cooking facilities that enable you to live as you would in your own home.
The cosy lounge is the space that brings family and friends together – stoke the fire, make yourself at home and relax on the sofa.
To catch a movie, head to the snug bar where you will find a bluray player and selection of films, a good book to read or games to play or why not bring your own games console to wire up to the tv for an evening of entertainment.
The bar fridge is ready for you to stock with your supplies for the weekend, you will find ice in your freezer, the rest is over to you, or I can place an order from my local wine merchant for you.
The kitchen/breakfast room is light and airy, the perfect space to fuel yourselves ready for a busy day exploring the county.
With tables big enough to seat you all and a well-equipped kitchen with all the mod cons, including an American fridge freezer, dishwasher, large oven and ceramic hob, you’ll soon whip up a feast.
You can go it alone with regards to food or you may wish to have a helping hand in the form of meals prepared for you to finish or a chef to cook a special dinner in your kitchen; you can relax and let the conversation flow as readily as the wine. With the option to add special extras like a bottle of fizz, homemade cake for the tin in the kitchen, or fresh hand-tied bouquet of flowers we have everything covered for you to make your stay extra special. Please ask for more information.
Washing machine and tumble drier facilities available.
Outside you will find well-kept lawns and a south facing flagstone terrace where you can enjoy alfresco dinning, perhaps a BBQ or a late afternoon sun downer. There is plenty of space for little ones to run around and stretch their legs whilst you relax on the outdoor furniture.
You could make the most of the outdoor space and add a hot tub to your booking, to while away the evenings in a flurry of bubble and steam. (Hot tubs are hired from a local company by yoursleves - please ask us for more information.)
The apartments
We have two one-bedroom apartments, separate to the main house but just as comfortable.
Bulmer duplex apartment and Scudamore ground floor apartment.
The living spaces are made up of a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and lounge, whilst in the bedrooms you will find a luxurious king-size bed and walk-in shower room. Perfect for 2, and a little one if required, these are a great addition to your house booking if you need a little more space. You can choose to add one or both apartments and we can adjust your quote to accommodate these.
Itinerary building service

The Priory is a character filled home in a peacefully beautiful location. We enjoyed our family weekend, with spacious and stylish surroundings because of the relaxing space, quality furnishings and toiletries.

We hired the house for a weekend stay for a group of 20, 16 adults and 4 young children. We also hired the two apartments that are part of the building with separate access. It was an ideal set up as we could accommodate the whole group with en-suite bathrooms and large communal areas to mingle. We had our own caterers and the owners helpfully assisted them with the entire set up.
The owners were very amendable to special requests which made the whole weekend easy for us to enjoy. Both the house and gardens are exceptional with an intimate family feel. Everything was immaculately clean and well maintained. We had agreed with the owners to host our small wedding with private caterers. The event was a massive success, no doubt because of the kindness and hospitality of both Chris and Nadia who run the Priory.
We would definitely stay there again and all our guests commented on the homeliness of the house and beauty of the views. For this price point there is nothing comparable. We will definitely look to come back again.
Chris and Nadia are wonderful hosts who are a true credit to the hospitality industry.

such a special stay...all the luxury of a hotel setting with immaculate decor, ensuite bathrooms, lovely linen and toiletries, so much space - and a bar for just us!! Hosts were on hand but we didn't need a thing as it was all so well thought out in advance. We had the recommended caterers come for a dinner on the weekend and also a yoga class - both recommended. Thank you for the home made cake and the wonderful stay!

I booked The Priory on behalf of family members who were visiting for Christmas from other countries. I wasn't able to join them but all the feedback was positive 'amazing', 'magnificent', 'the house was spotlessly clean', 'we had everything we needed', 'it was huge, lots of places to lose yourself' etc.
Chris and Nadia were great to deal with and when I made enquiries, nothing was too much trouble. I hope to visit with other family members in the future.

A lovely property and perfect for a family reunion. I had excellent communication from the property manager and all sorts of assistance over the little details. We had a great weekend and, if we can get the family together, we will do it again

Amazing time at The Priory
All 9 of us girls absolutely loved our weekend stay. Chris and Nadia were great hosts and very accommodating with all of my favours that I asked for. I've been bombarding them with questions every few days and their responses were always prompt and helpful.
They even left us a lovely cake which was delicious and such a lovely gesture. The girls are now talking about to make it an annual trip which is testimony of the property itself.

Our extended family (aged 7 - 71yrs) visited for 4 nights and we would all highly recommend The Priory!
Each bedroom had its own bathroom, the kitchen seated all of us together, the men loved the little bar area and use of the bbq and the garden space was amazing. The 7 children loved the space for football games and hot tub.
The house had everything we needed, was super clean and Chris and Nadia were great at answering any queries before we went.
It was lovely to find a place large enough for us to all spend time together that was full of character and had everything we needed!

Perfect weekend!
We had an absolutely amazing time! Chris and Nadia were the perfect hosts, very quick to respond to queries and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the personal touches too and felt well looked after.
The photos of the house honestly don’t do it justice - it’s beautiful and functioned so well. The location is excellent, the kitchen and bar were well equipped, soaps and water etc were a lovely touch in the bathrooms and all the beds were really comfy!
The only issue we found was that the WiFi was intermittent and was difficult at times to connect to. Otherwise we couldn’t find any fault!
Thank you so much, we would absolutely recommend this house!

Chris greeted us at the door even though, due to traffic we arrived 2/3hrs later than planned. The fire glowing in the grate was a lovely warm welcome.
The owner Chris is a very charming bubbly lady, gave us a tour of the downstairs left us to view rest of the house. She incredibly kindly made a cake for us plus a bottle of bubbly in the fridge 'to start our weekend off'. All 12 of us had a great time and the house is extremely well equipped and clean. We felt very relaxed and at home straight away. Some of our party visited Hereford on the Saturday others walked locally or just stayed in to do well, just nothing😊.
Thank you Chris we would most certainly recommend The Priory and look forward to revisiting.
