About this property

Calm, tranquil. Close enough to local amenities, far enough to totally relax.

The lets are configured around a pretty courtyard. Because of the design, each home gets privacy. Little Howle Farm dates back to the early 1800's so all the buildings have thick stone walls, which in the winter hold the heat and in the summer keeps them lovely and cool inside. We are no longer a working farm, what were once working barns are now beautiful holiday lets.

Rivington Barn is a stunning luxury barn conversion. Rivington is our largest property. It is well equipped, in every sense. It is a perfect place to come back to at the end of a busy day exploring this amazing area.
Rivington has two large, equally spacious, double bedrooms, both with luxury ensuite bathrooms. Each bedroom can be configured with a king size bed or two single beds. The bathrooms both include a large bath, a generous separate shower, shower gel and White Company bubble bath. We provide cotton bedding, luxury fluffy bath sheets, hand towels, flannels and bath mats. The living area is situated upstairs. To reach it, you walk up a central staircase, into an amazing galleried area which is completely open plan with high ceilings, beams and lots of natural light. To the right is a large lounge area, complete with a smart TV and gas log effect burner. The dining and kitchen areas are to the left, fully equipped with hob, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine and fridge/freezer. We provide tea towels, dish cloths/sponge, oven gloves and apron as well as cleaning products.
There are games, puzzles, local information, suggested walks and OS maps provided.
There is a patio area directly outside the cottage, which is a lovely sheltered place to sit, as it gets the sun all day. We also invite our guests to use the rear garden, which includes a barbeque and fire pit area, a large lawned area and a sun terrace at the top of the garden over looking the Malvern Hills. There is very little light pollution in Howle Hill so the terrace is perfect for star gazing.
There is plenty of on site parking is available to the rear of the barn.
We have a laundry room should guests need it (payable separately).

Howle Hill is a tiny settlement, too small to be called a village! It is very quiet here.
Many guests describe it as a haven and often comment how well they sleep and how relaxed they feel. We are perfectly placed between the Wye Valley and The Forest of Dean. A 5 minute drive from Ross on Wye with its many pubs, restaurants, shops and watersports on the river Wye. A 10 minute drive in the other direction takes you into The Forest of Dean.

We provide a welcome pack which includes Milk, local fruit juice, Weston's cider, cake, tea, coffee and sugar.

Acorn Cottage can be linked internally with Rivington Barn which creates a 3 double ensuite bedroom property to sleep 6. We also have The Granary which sleeps 4, meaning we can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests at any one time.

About the host

Hosted by Pam And Geoff Manwaring

Host profile image
We are originally from Kent. We saw this amazing property, then managed to buy it! We absolutely love it here. We have always worked with people and really enjoy meeting our guests and doing our best to make sure their stay is what they want it to be. We are both practical people and enjoy crafts, socializing and sports.

Why they chose this property

We love that Little Howle Farm is so calm and peaceful. It's great to be by the river with people, or in town in a busy pub, then home to our beautiful spot, with only cows and sheep for neighbours!

What makes this property unique

Everyone comments on how well the barns have been converted and to such a high standard. We have many returning guests. We don't offer hot tubs and busy bars, what we offer is somewhere to relax, reconnect with family and friends and recharge.
