Start the morning with coffee and panoramic countryside views, spend the day exploring South Herefordshire or simply stay close to your lodge and let the hours pass without anywhere you need to be.

For a romantic escape, the private double spa bath is an experience in itself. Soak beneath the stars, open a bottle of something special and enjoy the peace of the countryside around you. For anniversaries, birthdays, mini-moons or proposals, optional extras such as in-lodge treatments and chef-prepared dining can add an extra touch of indulgence to your stay.

There’s plenty to enjoy beyond your retreat too. Walk or cycle through the surrounding countryside, discover local vineyards and market towns or find a welcoming country pub for a leisurely lunch. Then return to your lodge, fire up the BBQ in warmer months or simply settle onto the deck as the evening draws in.
