Detta är en gammal timmerramad stuga med badrumstillägg. Inredningen är bekväm men inte modern. Stugan ligger på en lugn landsväg i byn Bircher. De närliggande byarna Yarpole och Orleton ligger inom gångavstånd och båda har blomstrande byaffärer (Yarpole community shop är i kyrkan) och kyrkor. Det finns en uppsjö av gångvägar i området samt långdistans vandringsleder. Den Mortimer Trail och Offa s Dyke bana är både inom räckhåll. Området är en av rullande kullar och jordbruksmark, i ett av de vackraste områdena i de walisiska marsarna. Trädgården är mestadels gräsmatta med utspridda fruktträd som ger lite nyans på sommaren.

Olde Worlde Charm
My wife and I very much enjoyed our week at Gatehouse Cottage. The cottage exudes an olde world charm with its huge wooden beams and stone fireplace, while being comfortable and well equipped. The large orchard was beautiful and the location was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Its close proximity to two National Trust properties, Croft Castle and Berrington Hall, was a great bonus too. We were grateful to the owner for quickly resolving an issue with the back door. Unfortunately, our first impression of the cottage were not the best due to its old, rickety wooden gate, which is in need of replacement. Also, we found the so called "vintage" garden furniture to be rusty, uncomfortable and virtually unusable. Fortunately, we had our own fold up chairs with us so we were able to enjoy the lovely orchard. The owner mentioned that she was thinking of providing new reclining chairs, which would be a great benefit. Overall though, the cottage is lovely and we would really like to return.

Perfect getaway
This gorgeous cottage was perfect for us. Really cosy with its log burner and central heating. Long country walks can be had right from its doorstep with no need to drive anywhere. It is perfect for a “get away from it all” holiday. I am a bit reluctant to say just how great it is in case it’s not available for our inevitable return. There are so many cottages available but you can’t go wrong with this one.

Wonderful stay in a fantastic cottage
This is a lovely cottage set in a idyllic peaceful location. The garden was beautiful and perfect for the children to run around. The cottage is perfectly situated to explore Ludlow and the surrounding countryside. We had a lovely meal at the Bell in nearby Yarpole, and a lovely day at Hampton Court Castle. We would definitely stay here again and hope to return one day.

Homely accommodation
Clean and well equipped. Mary left us an array of goodies which was very much appreciated. We chose the property for its location to National Trust properties ie Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, Stokesay Castle and also lovely gardens including Hampton Court Castle, well worth a visit. As we have been self isolating, average age 80 years we managed to maintain this.

A great family stay
The photos don’t do it justice, the cottage is lovely, with everything you need. The garden is massive and enclosed, so great for kids. It’s location means you are close to a lots of fun days out (we had a car). The owner was very quick with any little questions we had and left some lovely treats on our arrival. Would definitely recommend.

Classic Cottage
This cottage is so homey and charming! My fiancé and I had a lovely Christmas stay in this much needed retreat from city life. Steve and Mary were helpful and easy to reach. The bed was comfy and the kitchen amenities, heating, and hot water worked very well. The cottage is also conveniently close to Ludlow and Leominster. There are pretty views of the English countryside we enjoyed while sipping tea and watching the sunrise. We would highly recommend this quaint country cottage to all visitors!

Lovely
A quaint black and white cottage in the middle of nowhere. Peacefull, lovely garden , everything one needs. Lovely fireplace, pity the weather was so good we could not light a fire or we would have melted.
A super place to explore the surrounding towns and countryside. Plenty of good pubs around serving good food.
Alltogether a very enjoyable stay.

Picturesque cottage, well supplied with all necessary equipment and plenty of information of area
Well situated for NT properties, we visited Croft Castle and did Ancient tree walk to see 400 year old sweet chestnut trees, fantastic avenue a must for nature lovers. There was also Birch common and Clee hills not too far away. We enjoyed our stay in lovely Herefordshire countryside.

Comfortable, quaint and quiet
Having stayed in the cottage last year for a long weekend, this time we had a 2 week stay. The cottage is an old timber-framed building (obviously) and has lots of character. It lies within lovely rolling countryside and in a quiet village location. The garden is long and a pleasure to be in. The weather was rather too hot, but something we learned was that timber-framed buildings are cooler. A brick building is rather like being in a large storage radiator. Highly recommended for the discerning holidaymaker.

A delightful rural retreat
The Gatehouse Cottage is an attractive and cosy half-timbered property in a delightful location. The cottage itself is comfortable, well-equipped and has ample parking for at least three cars up a short but steep drive. There is a very attractive orchard attached to the property and we were extremely fortunate in coinciding with a spectacularly bountiful apple harvest. They are delicious!
A beautifully quiet green lane alongside the cottage provides a wonderfully tranquil short walk and the nearby village of Yarpole, with its well-stocked community shop in the church is also easily reached by field paths. Nearby Bircher Common provides ample opportunities for longer walks.
The location is excellent for visits to nearby National Trust properties such as the medieval manor house at Brockhampton (highly recommended) and nearby Berrington Hall. The original Hampton Court Castle and spectacularly designed gardens are also well worth a visit. Ludlow and Leominster provide interesting places to explore and the Riverside Inn at the nearby Village of Aymestry is an excellent venue for good quality well-prepared meals.
All in all, this part of the world is over=looked and under-rated but definitely worth seeking out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would recommend it unreservedly.

Om värden
Mary Walter är värd
Gatehouse Cottage belonged to my grandparents, and was passed down to my Mother and then to myself. It was originally a farm workers cottage, and my Mother remembered the 6 children who were brought up in the small cottage with no running water or electricity. My husband and I moved to Herefordshire when he retired and now manage the cottage for holiday lets. We live about 8 miles away so can readily attend to changeovers and deal with any problems.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
Although the cottage is on a quiet lane, it is close to several highways, and you can travel north, south, east and west with ease, without having to retrace your steps. The garden is a delight and can be enjoyed at all times of the year. There is ample parking space, and plenty of room for children to run around.
