The Burnett Farmhouse was once a farm and now offers three comfortable holiday cottages that are set amidst South Herefordshire's beautiful rolling countryside. The cottages sleep two to four guests individually and have far reaching views across the peaceful valley of Orcop and beyond towards Garway Hill.
Located away from main roads, in a peaceful farmland position, these converted barn and farm buildings provide an ideal place from which to explore the areas of outstanding natural beauty including Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean, Malvern Hills and the Brecon Beacons.
Within a twenty minute drive of the cottages you have Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and the M50 motorway, making them a good central location for exploring Abergavenny, Hay-on-Wye, Monmouth, Symonds Yat, Malvern, Chepstow, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Wales and Worcester.
