Leave the busy everyday behind and relax in this beautiful cob house surrounded by four acres of wild meadows and gardens. Located in the countryside near Hay-on-Wye, this unique house has a frame of Douglas Fir timbers, a living roof and straw and lime render. Wake up to the sounds of the birds and tuck into a delicious breakfast prepared for you and served whenever you’re ready. Sip a cup of coffee out on the verandah as red kites glide overhead and see if you can spot the Roe Deer flitting in and out of the trees. In the evening, stroll through the orchard and find the shepherd’s hut at the bottom of the meadow where you can stay warm around the fire pit and watch the sun setting over the hills.
Inside, you’ll find a cosy sitting room with a comfy sofa set in front of a wood burning stove. It feels bright and spacious during the day with sunlight streaming through the windows and the skylight. In the evenings, get cosy with a fire going and dig through the selection of books and board games.
In the bedroom next door, you’ll find a luxurious king size bed with a wool mattress, helping you stay cool in the summer and warm in winter. Open the blinds in the morning and sit up in bed with a cup of tea, enjoying the views over the meadows followed by a refreshing shower in the ensuite. You’ll find fluffy towels waiting for you on the radiator and bath robes to snuggle up in.
You’ll have a choice of a full English breakfast, cooked on the Aga in the cottage 30m away or a continental breakfast. Eat at the breakfast bar in the sitting room enjoying the view, or take your breakfast out to the verandah on warmer days. You’ll find a fridge in the sitting room with fresh milk for teas and coffees, along with a coffee machine, kettle, wine glasses and a corkscrew.
If you can tear yourselves away from your cosy hideaway, there’s plenty of exploring to do in the area. The Cob is located in the beautiful Wye Valley on the border between Herefordshire and Wales. Just five miles away, you’ll find the charming town of Hay-on-Wye, famous for its many second-hand bookshops and annual literary festival. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails on the doorstep or you can set off into the Brecon Beacons for some more spectacular scenery. The River Wye is just a mile away and you can pack up a picnic and hire a canoe to enjoy a day out, exploring from the water. There are also some great places to eat, including the Rhydspence Inn, less than two miles away.
