Situated in the picturesque village of Bromyard, Herefordshire, Elephant Cottage offers a charming retreat for couples seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of England. This quaint cottage is uniquely positioned within the grounds of a historic dairy farm, which was once owned by a Birmingham circus family. The legacy of this intriguing past is reflected in the name of the cottage, as a baby elephant was housed in an old barn on the property before it moved away. The cottage embodies a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal destination for relaxation.
The interior of Elephant Cottage showcases a harmonious mix of old and new features, with original beams and trusses complementing contemporary amenities. The high ceilings and numerous windows create a light and airy atmosphere, allowing guests to enjoy views of the surrounding farmland. Accommodating up to two guests, the first-floor bedroom boasts a superking-size double bed, while the shower room and WC provide modern conveniences. This thoughtful design ensures that guests can unwind in comfort while appreciating the cottage's historical elements.
The well-equipped kitchen is outfitted with all the necessary modern appliances to facilitate a comfortable stay, while the adjoining dining and living area features an inviting open fire, perfect for cozy evenings. Outside, guests can take advantage of a spacious private garden, located just 200 meters from a tranquil small lake, offering a serene setting for outdoor activities or leisurely strolls. The surrounding area is rich with walking opportunities, allowing guests to explore the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.
