Four beautifully converted properties within walking distance of Offa's Dyke.......
Holt Farm lies in attractive, rolling hill country on the borders of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, at the end of a long private track. It is a wonderful, peaceful location and has immediate access to superb walks and rides. The organically run farm is at 900 feet and a footpath rises behind to a hill with direct access to Offa's Dyke and the Black Mountains, affording extensive views.
There are many attractions within easy driving distance: Hay on Wye (7 miles) - world famous for its bookshops and with a wide range of activites to suit all tastes: historic castles such as Longtown and Llanthony; the lovely cathedral city of Hereford (15 miles) and of course the River Wye itself. The Forest of Dean and Symonds Yat are approx. half an hour's drive and golf, riding, fishing, canoeing - even gliding! - are available locally. Overall the area offers unrivalled opportunities for the perfect country holiday.
This is a really impressive, imaginatively planned conversion of the former cowshed (Visit Britain 4 stars - Gold Award for exceptional quality of accommodation) with extensive views from its private garden area down the valley over the surrounding farmland. On the other side it faces the main courtyard area and can combine easily with the other cottages providing an opportunity for a large group to congregate and dine together.
