Residing in the picturesque village of Llangarron, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, this charming accommodation serves as an excellent base for exploring the stunning Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nestled deep within the Herefordshire countryside, the area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a variety of activities such as riverside walks along the Wye and the challenging climb to Symonds Yat Rock, where visitors can take in breathtaking views of the valley. The nearby Forest of Dean, rich in history and natural beauty, features ancient oak woodlands and diverse wildlife, making it a perfect destination for both walking and cycling adventures.
For history buffs, the region is home to fascinating sites like Clearwell Caves and Hopewell Colliery, which provide a glimpse into the past. Additionally, the market towns of Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, both easily accessible, add to the allure of the area. Ross-on-Wye is notably recognized as the birthplace of modern tourism, featuring a historic 17th-century market house, while Monmouth boasts the distinction of being the birthplace of Henry V. The scenic journey to the accommodation is enhanced by views of rolling hedgerows, leading visitors to a welcoming barn set within a small holding, where friendly donkeys await to greet them.
Upon entering the barn, guests are welcomed into a bright and airy hallway, designed for convenience with a WC and space to leave boots behind. The heart of the home is the kitchen/diner, characterized by vaulted ceilings and exposed A-frame beams, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for entertaining. The traditional shaker-style kitchen is fully equipped with modern amenities, including an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The dining area is spacious, accommodating family meals and gatherings, while two distinct reception areas offer relaxation options: a games/reading room with a TV and a selection of board games, and a main lounge ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.
The accommodation features two comfortable bedrooms accessed from the lounge via a small hallway. One bedroom boasts a super king-size zip and link bed, which can be converted into a twin upon request, complete with an en suite shower and WC.
