Hop Kiln Holiday Apartment

10/05/2026

The Hopkiln lives on. 🥳

For now though, we're only taking bookings of 4+ nights. Discount for 7 nights.

This will make it easier to manage now I'm working full-time and Dave works shifts (Inc nights). 🙈

We'll try this till the end of the season and reassess then.

Taking bookings until the end of October 2026.

The Hopkiln will be closing down from the 6th July for the foreseeable future.

It has served us well, through difficult times, but with full-time jobs it has become increasingly difficult to run it. It doesn't earn enough to pay someone to do the changeovers and to be honest I'm exhausted.

Existing bookings will be honoured and between now and the 6th July, it will be business as usual. If you want one more opportunity to sleep in a Hopkiln then get in touch.

It's the 1st March which can mean only one thing...

WE'RE OPEN FOR ANOTHER SUMMER SEASON!

It's time to put the brollies ☔ away and think about dusting off the weekend away bag!

✅Think warm walks in the countryside,
✅Think cheeky Peter Cooks Cruffins and a coffee
✅Think a chance to sit and be totally mindful of your surroundings.

✅Go and visit the Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral, ✅Have a glass of cold, crisp local cider at the Saracens Head at Symonds Yat,
✅Borrow a paddleboard and gently take in the beauty and wildlife of the Wye.

There is soooo much to do .. or do nothing and unplug.

Recharge, live in the present, and be at one with nature.

Well, our last guests of 2025 are settled in.

What a summer! We've had weddings, we've had engagements, we've had a steam engine driver (with engine parked elsewhere), we've had guests on blacksmithing experiences, we've had Michelin Star chasers, we've had walkers and cyclists, we've had workers and studying students and probably most importantly we've provided a haven for carers and people just wanting to escape and recharge.

We're here for you. If you want to relax, switch off and be embraced by the countryside and mother nature we are the place for you...

We're already taking bookings for Spring. Don't miss out on a break away in our beautiful corner of peaceful Herefordshire.

Well we've 3 more bookings then we'll be closed for the winter.
Another busy season using cottages.com and Airbnb. But we've decided to drop cottages.com for next season as they make it so hard to control everything. It's just not as user friendly for what we need.

As we wind down, it was great to see in the guest book that we've had our first engagement! How wonderful is that! "A perfect bubble to celebrate in". ♥️
Isn't that just lovely. I'm glad we ended up being the starting location for a life journey together.

Anyway, let me know if you have getaway ideas for spring/summer 2026. We've already taken a booking for April which is great.

Remember, 3 night minimum, 2 people max, no children. Perfect for romantic getaways and local sightseeing. We're in Herefordshire on the boarder with Wales, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. What more could you want! And you can join a footpath into the countryside as soon as you step outside the front door.

Not a bad view from the sofa in the lounge. I'd come on holiday here!
September is fully booked but we do have availability in Oct/Nov if you fancy an autumn getaway. You could watch these leaves turn brown and fall off. 🤣

The end is in sight.
With the kitchen, bathroom, lounge, dining room and entrance refreshed we turn our attention to the clean up.

We also painted our daughter's bedroom this week.... See photo...

We open again on the 1st March when we hope better weather will be on its way!
