The Sunday of Summer..........🌾🍎

I may be mourning the end of summer but September really is a beautiful space between summer and autumn...... (I may be trying to convince myself here)

For me September is more of a re-set than January and I find myself looking forward to getting into new routines but the flipflops aren't going anywhere yet.......

🍎 Are you team summer or team cosy?

2028 is officially on the calendar!

Our first booking for 2028 has just landed!!

And it’s from guests who have stayed with us before — which honestly means so much. 🤍

There’s something incredibly special about people enjoying their stay enough to want to come back and make more memories here.

So… 2028 is officially underway! 🎉 (Also 2027 for those, like me, not thinking quite so far ahead)

Thank you to all of our wonderful returning guests — you really are the best.

A perfect Sunday at Old Forge Cottage ?🤍☕️

Coffee with the garden doors open, a gentle walk by the river, free yoga in the park, and a bacon sandwich at a riverside café, of course saving your crusts for the ducks.

Then it’s back to the cottage to curl up with a good book in a cosy nook, light the fire and end the day with a long, relaxing bath. 🛁🔥

Sometimes, doing very little is exactly what you need. 🤍

🦆 What does your perfect Sunday look like ? Let me know in the comments.

Read on to find out what else Rachael loved about her stay....👇🏻⭐

"Wow, wow, wow, a beautiful, superbly equipped home from home. Zoe really has thought of everything.

The house is excellently located for everything!
Town centre toone side and the river Wye and open fields to the other. It perfectly suited us as a family of 6 (3 generations) and 2 dogs.

Old Forge cottage was super clean and beautifully presented and we will definitely be rebooking! "

🤞🏻 I will be here waiting with a little discount for your return booking Rachael, thank you x

Sunshine sipping 🍷☀️

We snuck off just a couple of miles away this afternoon to and could've been mistaken for thinking we were in the south of France.
Sunshine, vineyard views and exceptional wine made for the perfect , relaxing afternoon.

This was a thoughtful mother's day present and we enjoyed a guided vineyard tour and discovered the story behind the winemaking process and the family ethos with Frank then retreated to the cool of the stunning manor house for the tasting with Jamie before enjoying a glass (or bottle) of the favourite on the lakeside lawn.

I'm hoping for the 'dine in the vines' experience for Christmas now girls...! 🤪🤞🏻🤞🏻

✨ Don't miss one of Herefordshire's hidden gems...ask us for more information or book your tour and raise a glass to a memorable afternoon
