Quarry House has been renovated to provide comfortable home from home holiday accommodation. The house has been equipped with all the facilities that we would find in our own home. We hope our guests will enjoy Quarry House as much as we do.

We strive to update and improve Quarry House and its facilities on a regular basis. The summer house is equipped with sofas, table tennis and games.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda and Chris Mallett

Host profile image
We have three children and two Labradors. We enjoy spending time together on holiday and love the tranquil relaxing home from home we have created. We have hired many holiday homes over the years and have a good idea about what makes a great holiday home. We hope that we have used our knowledge to create a wonderful holiday location for others to enjoy too.

Why they chose this property

Quarry House sits on the borders of both Powys and Herefordshire. We originally looked to buy a holiday home in Herefordshire where we had enjoyed a fabulous holiday the previous year. Herefordshire is a hidden gem of England and one of the best kept secrets as a place for wonderful holidays. Please keep our secret and join us in enjoying a beautiful part of the country.

What makes this property unique

The views from Quarry House are it's best feature. Watch the Herefordshire dairy herd in the morning charging across the fields to be fed. The walks direct from the property are fantastic for walkers and dog owners. Our dog enjoys the 3 acres of garden to explore. The house is well equipped for families with children. This house is our family home from home and we hope that you enjoy the comfort and facilities that we have available to our guests.
