About the property
Steward's Cottage is a cosy home from home with everything you will need for a relaxing break in the Herefordshire countryside. The cottage is bright and airy with a stylish lounge, a modern kitchen with high end fixtures and an enclosed garden with a sauna and hot tub for ultimate relaxation. Being only an hour's drive from the Cotswolds, this beautiful estate offers stunning lakeside and woodland walks for you and your four-legged friends and access to a pre-bookable indoor swimming pool.
Please note that during the autumn and winter months, renovation work will be taking place on the estate as we continue to enhance the guest experience for future stays. While every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum, some work may be noticeable during this period. Work will not commence before 9:30am, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Renovation work on the top site is expected to continue until mid-December. Should this take any longer, we will let you know. For the lodges, work is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.
