Built from a former milking parlour and stable, Haywain is one of the earliest conversions at Whitewells Farm, which pioneered farm building holidays in Herefordshire back in 1978. The cottage retains the original exposed beams and half-cruck trusses that give it genuine period character, with the living spaces arranged unusually: bedrooms and bathroom occupy the ground floor, while the kitchen and sitting room are upstairs, where windows open to views of the surrounding countryside.
Two bedrooms sleep three guests—a double on the ground floor and a single upstairs. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. Upstairs, the beamed living room gives onto a kitchen equipped to cook proper meals. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. There's a garden with furniture and a barbecue, bike storage, and parking for one car. No smoking indoors.
The location puts you within easy reach of Hereford, Worcester, Ledbury and Bromyard. Walks from nearby British Camp across the Malvern Hills are close at hand. Cheltenham, with its Regency architecture, is about an hour away. A pub sits within a mile. One dog stays free.

What guests say
It is like stepping into Holliwood version of Walt Disney's Snowwhite. Except here Snowhite is blond and her name is Alice. Haven't met prince Charming yet. And the dwarfs sleep during the day and only come out at night, when everybody is asleep. So they don't disturb the guests. It is the most charming, dream like place, one can only immagine. I want to stay here forever.

My friends and I stayed here for two nights in February 2026 and had a wonderful time. The photographs do not prepare you for quite how charming the cottages are or how beautiful the surroundings are. We stayed in the Old Hop Kiln , which is a three bedroom property. It is charming, with original features but also with every modern convenience. There was plenty of seating for the six of us. The bedrooms were beautifully presented as well and have convenient spaces for storage.

We stayed there last June, a fabulous peaceful place to stay, the hosts were wonderful. I would highly recommend it, a hidden gem. Duck pond cottage was fabulous. The cottage was spotless, modern, cosy and private. We will definitely return next time we are in the area.

We stayed here during December along with a little dog Scamp. We chose Duck pond cottage which was an excellent choice, good parking, well kitted out and so peaceful too. The lounge/ kitchen area was so roomy and relaxing. The bedroom and bathroom quiet and we slept like babies in the country air. Alison and Simon our hosts were extremely helpful, very knowledgeable about the area and places to visit and eat, a special hello to Jack who is the most laid back dog ever. We didn't have any issues during our stay but we got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble if we needed anything. Scamp thoroughly loved the walks around the woods and saying hello to the turkeys too. I'd recommend this to couples, families or for special events and multiple cottage bookings. You wouldn't regret staying in any of the beautiful cottages, we had a look in another couple and they looked superb throughout. A big hello to Alison and Simon along with their family and the dogs, thank you for a lovely stay. Andrew Alison and Scamp.
