The county of Herefordshire is home to not just one Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but two. Venture from your Herefordshire holiday cottage to explore the stunning landscapes of the Wye Valley and the Malvern Hills. With plenty of dog-friendly cottages on our books, the four-legged members of the family needn’t miss out on your short break.

A trip to the laid-back city of Hereford at the centre of the county is a must. Perched on both sides of the River Wye, relax beside its banks, or discover Hereford Cathedral. Head north and explore the rural Mortimer Country. Perfect for those among you who like to wander a little off the beaten track. To ramp up the romance, the landscape’s dotted with crumbling castles. Leave the cares of city life behind and plan a short break in Herefordshire!
