Border View

Border View works well for small families or couples wanting a base in rural Herefordshire. The detached cottage has two bedrooms—a double and two singles—plus one bathroom, sleeping up to four. Downstairs is an open-plan living and dining space with a kitchen equipped for self-catering, and a shower room. Upstairs are the bedrooms and a separate toilet. A travel cot, highchair and stairgate are available if needed. The property is yours alone, with private parking for two cars and a bike store on site.

Elevated on its plot, the cottage overlooks farmland and the valley beyond. There's a shared front garden with seating and furniture, and an external utility room with freezer access. Essentials including electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are provided. The property does not permit smoking. Two steps lead to the entrance, and there are also two steps into the garden.

Kington is nearby with pubs, restaurants and a small animal park that appeals to children. Hay-on-Wye lies 13 miles away, famous for independent bookshops and the annual literary festival. Walking country surrounds the property, and it's roughly half an hour's drive to Hereford city. The Wales border is close—the Elan Valley Dams and Rhayader are accessible for a day out.
