ワイバレーの最高の景色を望む居心地の良い快適なコテージ

Richard and Sarah are both self employed. Richard has a business called Bugs and Beasties and creates space for nature play and learning in school grounds. He also gives talks all over the country geared around gardening for wildlife. Sarah is a researcher with an expertise in social policy. Sarah loves her horses and Richard is a mad keen fisherman. We have a wicked veg patch (most years!!) friends and guests often enjoy some cheeky treats from the garden. We like to make sure visitors have everything they need whilst leaving them in peace. We produce our own lamb from our few badgerface and ryeland sheep and have the tastiest eggs from our friendly hens. We have a bit of a lifestyle thing going on here and its really nice to share this beautiful place with other people!

The folly is only 15 minutes from the M50 and 15 minutes drive from Hereford City but we are a million miles away from street lights and traffic noise. We are only a 10 minute walk from the pub,shop and River Wye , but on the other hand we are set in a rural paradise with only the sound of bird song and bleating of sheep! The wildflower meadow is one of the best preserved in the county. We have fabulous elevated views and the novelty hasn't worn off in 11 years. Fownhope is a cracking friendly village. Great pub nightlife, fab well stocked shop. We can step out of the garden onto miles and miles of deserted footpaths leading to a world of natural beauty. It took us many years to find The Folly with its lovely warm south facing aspect and astounding views over real unspoilt countryside

The countryside here is unique. The Silurian limestone that forms the Woolhope Dome makes for a wonderfully biodiverse landscape. Visitors can witness a beautiful tawny owl fly over their heads on the edge off dusk whilst enjoying a beer or glass or wine on the terrace outside the cottage or watch a herd of deer graze within throwing distance from the accommodation. The cottage is truly authentic, and retains its original charm and character whilst full refurbishment make for a comfy stay. Visitors often enjoy some tasty veg from the garden or fresh hen eggs for breakfast. We have horses and sheep to say hello to and if visitors ask in advance we are happy to book pubs or restaurants or find out what you would like to know to make their stay as lovely as it can be!
