This pretty, stone cottage enjoys a great location within the heart of the village, offering spacious and comfortable accommodation with a secluded south-facing garden. The rural village of Dorstone lies at the head of Herefordshire’s Golden Valley – it’s a friendly community with a local village inn, church and community hall. It is also a hub for walkers, with easy access to the surrounding hillsides, Black Mountains and Hay Bluff. Some of the most popular local footpaths include Offa’s Dyke and Gospel Pass. The market town of Hay-on-Wye is just 6 miles away, a bustling town with a weekly market, arts and crafts, and a year-round events calendar that includes the famous book festival at the end of May and smaller Winter Festival at the end of November. Hay is set on the Welsh Borders and banks of the River Wye where you can embrace the wildlife, wild swimming, pony trekking, cycling and canoeing.
Access to this charming cottage is via a front entrance hall, with storage for coats and walking boots. From here, guests can access the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, with everything you may need for your stay, and table and seating for six people. One of the two working spaces is opposite the kitchen. Further into the cottage and up a couple of steps, there is a welcoming lounge with comfortable seating and a Smart TV with DVDs, as well as Bluetooth speakers and a selection of books and games. A wood burner provides a cosy warmth. And for planning your next adventure, there is a wealth of guidebooks and maps provided by the owner. The lounge opens onto the garden. The ground floor also offers a spacious bedroom with a king-size zip-and-link bed (that can be made into twin 2"6' beds on request at the time of booking), and a cloakroom with an additional WC. Upstairs, there is a large landing with a study/sitting area, a spacious double bedroom, and a bathroom with a separate shower, bath, and WC.
Outside, the south-facing garden features a wooden table and benches, sun loungers and deck chairs, a charcoal BBQ, and a secure storage area for bikes.
