We are lucky to have fibre broadband (FTTP) with speeds averaging 55 Mbps. No smoking and no pets. Gardens: We are very lucky to live in a beautiful spot, and have 5 acres to ourselves. The highlight is the orchard, which boasts some heritage varieties of apples. Come in late April or early May to appreciate the stunning blossoms, or come in September or October to sample the delicious fruits! We also have Perry trees and pear trees. We harvest all these fruits and take them to a professional press to be made into juice, perry and cider. We will gift you a bottle or two when you stay with us! There is also some woodland which is fun to explore and make dens in. There are plenty of picturesque walks and sightseeing to do in the area. The Mortimer trail runs from Ludlow to Kington and is popular amongst walkers. Mortimer Forest is 10 minutes drive away and offers beautiful walks and mountain biking. Or simply walk from home across the fields to The Bell Inn pub in Yarpole or The Balance Inn in Luston for dinner and some local ales. The nearby town of Leominster has many fascinating antiques shops and lots of independent shops and cafes. Ludlow has its 13th century castle, a fantastic theatre and many shops, pubs and restaurants. Presteigne, Hereford and Hay on Wye are all close by too. We lie directly between the National Trust properties of Croft Castle and Berrington Hall, so we offer the perfect base to explore both from! Guest access The holiday home is attached to our family home, but very much separate and we fully respect the privacy of our guests. Guests have their own front door and separate parking area. The holiday home has its own area of patio and lawn as well, with table and chairs, a bench, a BBQ and a firepit. We are surrounded by fields on each side and Clee Hill can be seen in the distance. There is private parking for 2 cars, one space in front of the house and the other at the side of the house. If a 3rd or 4th car space is needed this can be arranged. Car charging: Although we do not have an EV charging point, you are able to connect easily to a standard outdoor socket from the parking space. You are welcome to do so for £10 per full charge. Other things to note Very strong WiFi throughout the whole house - no weak spots! We are lucky to have fibre broadband (FTTP) with speeds averaging 55 Mbps. Follow us @thefollyholiday
