Heath Barn

Rural Herefordshire sits on the border between two counties, with the Malvern Hills rising in the distance. Heath Barn is a converted agricultural building set within its own private field, a single-storey property with everything on the ground floor. It sleeps two in a double bedroom, with a shower room and an open-plan living space that combines kitchen and sitting area. One dog is welcome here.

The barn is equipped for self-catering: there is a full kitchen with oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave, and outside, decking with garden furniture and a barbecue. The private hot tub overlooks the hills and seats four. Inside, underfloor heating keeps things warm, there is a smart TV, and WiFi is available throughout. Bed linen and towels are supplied. A working farm across the lane sells eggs and vegetables; several country pubs are within walking distance, and the Cotswolds are a short drive away.

The approach is down a mown pathway of about 100 yards. Entry is via two steps to the door. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 09:00. No smoking in the property.
