Bullens Bank Cottage

A picturesque secluded 18th Century stone cottage set at 1,000 ft; has spectacular panoramic views over the Wye Valley. - Lady Betjeman, the travel writer, lived locally and once as she was riding past the cottage said "You know, you have the best view in Europe":  Bullen's Bank Cottage is about 200 years old and was restored in the mid 1980's. The bathroom was updated in 2010
