A picturesque remote and secluded 18th century rustic stone cottage set at 1,000 ft; this was originally a shepherd's cottage and has the most quite spectacular panoramic views over the Wye Valley and far beyond.  These stunning views cover at least  70 miles, over the Herfordshire countryside and across The Wye Valley and up into Mid Wales. Restored in the 1980's this cottage is simply, warm and comfy with not too many frills.

Years ago now, Lady Betjeman, the travel writer, who used to live locally, rode past the cottage and said to the owners "You know, you have the best view in Europe"!  situated, with its thick stone walls, low ceilings and at the top of the ancient lane.
