Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Bishop's Frome

Accommodation details

Luxuriate in an incredible stay at this enticing country house set within rolling parkland. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom, dog-friendly idyll makes the perfect retreat for a large group. Nestled in 60 acres of glorious grounds, including a lake and ancient woodland, it is just 6 miles from the magnificent Malvern Hills and 13 miles from Hereford.

It is also well located for the borderlands of England and Wales. Enter via the impressive hallway and amble into the generous, sumptuous lounge. Unwind in front of a crackling wood burner in the snug area or watch TV and look out over the courtyard in the other section of the room. Gather in the large kitchen/diner to take turns at preparing feasts.

Find all the accessories and appliances your chef needs then serve up delicious dishes with the local produce you have sourced and congregate around the great table. A utility room, separate WC and super-king-size bedroom are also downstairs. This bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, can also be made up as a twin if discussed in advance.

Ascend the eye-catching staircase to the first floor to find your remaining bedrooms. These include two more super-kings that can be made up as twins, one with an exquisite en-suite bathroom and the other with an en-suite shower room. There is a twin bedroom, plus a room with a four-poster, king-size bed, each with an en-suite shower room, up here too.

Spill out into the walled, courtyard garden on spring and summer days and dine out here under the stars. Explore the wider grounds at your leisure and unwind in the shared summer house if you choose. Venture into Great Malvern, 10 miles away, for afternoon tea. Spend time in the beautiful Wye Valley area, where you can walk, cycle and canoe.
