“Lovely cottage by the river.”
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay in The Old Stables. Thoroughly recommended, very clean and comfy. We enjoyed sitting by the river in the evenings.

“Faultless holiday accommodation in a picture postcard village setting.”
Our first stay at The Smithy while visiting relatives but it most certainly won't be our last. The Smithy is set in the most idyllic riverside setting in the delightful small village of Bodenham.… More

“Fantastic holiday let.”
We stayed at the Stables for four nights and loved every second of it. The accommodation was perfect - spotless and fresh with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing break. The riverside location is thrilling especially when the sun shines on the water. This is a brilliant place for a dog to stay too - endless footpath walks from the house and gorgeous country all around. With Leominster and Hereford nearby, we had so much to entertain us. Highly recommended - thanks Salma and Paul for a warm and friendly welcome and a perfect holiday stay!
