We had a wonderful few days at the Ramblers Hideaway... The location was perfect and so beautiful. Rolling fields & trees as far as the eye could see from the garden. Local walks from the doorstep & a 10 minute drive into the town. Lots to see & do... Whether your looking for local beauty spots & nature reserves or a night on the town with the dramatic Cathedral as your back drop, this is definitely the place for you. Would highly recommend the accommodation, the owners were really friendly and had a lovely dog called Dylan.Five star ⭐ Would definitely book again

A nice place but could be excellent if the owners just addressed a few things. It has so many positives but was just lacking a bit of care over maintenance. The garden area looking uncared for and the amount of cobwebs on the outside of the windows are a couple of examples.If the little details were taken care of then it'd be absolutely lovely. It wouldn't take much as its a beautiful little place, great location close to Hereford but peacefully rural.

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay here. The place itself was a nice mix of modern and traditional, it was clean and there was a lot more equipment in the kitchen than you usually get when staying somewhere. This was especially handy as we planned to eat at home each night. The setting is lovely, lots of walks around and nice towns and pubs within a short distance. Would highly recommend.
