Longcover & Coach House are self catering cottages located in acres of outdoor space (including two acres of garden and two acres of ancient woodland). The holiday cottages are located in the village of Kyre and are nearby to the Worcestershire town of Tenbury Wells.

Long Cover:

Stealing its name from the backdrop of ancient undisturbed woodland, the holiday cottage and its surrounds make a natural family home – for both frazzled humans and local badgers. Winding your way up the track to this converted stable, you catch glorious glimpses of the Teme and Kyre valleys; on arrival, you're greeted by neighbour and owner, cheerful, thoughtful Ellie. Generous windows flood rooms with light, which bounces off polished elm floorboards; a wood-burner and Aga keep things cosy, the kitchen is handcrafted, the views are long and bucolic. Upstairs, bedrooms are brass-bedded and floral, tucked under the eaves in that cottagey way. You get a handy loo and basin up here, a sparkling bathroom with a roll top tub downstairs. Lucky children have seven acres to romp in, and a secret tree house complete with hammocks and barbecue for midnight feasts. Resting on the borders of three counties, this is prime walking country, while bustling Ledbury and Ludlow, England's slow food capital, are just a drive away.

The Coach House:

The self catering coach house is a 16th Century timber framed house which is the perfect retreat à deux. Inside it's open plan and easy. Settle on the weighty leather chesterfield, toes directed at a wood burner stacked high with logs from the nearby woods. The kitchen, of hand-crafted oak, has masses of space, a double Belfast sink and proper wooden floorboards throughout. Exposed beams frame the bright bedroom; the shower room is a step away. It would be a treat of an evening to follow the babbling brook through the ancient orchid-dotted woodland, rest awhile at the owner's perfect little tree house (with hammocks), then retire to your own private viewpoint with its picture postcard views across open pastures to the Teme and Kyre valleys. Venture further to foodie Ludlow, book lined Hay-on-Wye and the grand industrial heritage that is Ironbridge. Take to the slow life on the steam railway, stride out on the Mortimer Trail, meander through forgotten Herefordshire villages. Buzzards soar overhead, rabbits scamper in the fields that surround you.

The area surrounding the self catering cottages is packed full of interesting attractions and places to visit. There are lots of beautiful houses and gardens such as Hampton Court, Croft Castle and Berrington Hall. The area is also a great place for outdoor activities from walking through to white water rafting.
