Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Herefordshire
Welcome to Herefordshire, a cool county in the heart of England, where rolling hills sit alongside verdant meadows and charming market towns throw the best countryside parties. This place is famous for its agricultural awesomeness, its stunning landmarks, its pretty valleys and rivers and its cider. When you decide to level up your holiday game with a luxury Oliver’s Travels property, Herefordshire unveils its iconic attractions, areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its gorgeous towns and villages.
Hereford Cathedral, the star of medieval architecture, boasts an intricate Gothic facade while the world-famous Mappa Mundi and the Chained Library, make book and map enthusiasts smile widely. Hereford, the county town, is not just home to the Cathedral, it enjoys the Old House and High Town with the River Wye adding a fabulous backdrop. Hereford's market is the place to be, a buzzing hive of local produce and crafts where you can shop till you drop.
Nature enthusiasts adore the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a playground for river meandering, woodland exploring and Instagram-worthy landscapes. Symonds Yat Rock is the top spot for panoramic views that will make your jaw drop. This area is a walking, cycling and horse riding paradise. The Mortimer Trail takes you on a scenic journey through woodlands and the Herefordshire Trail is like a magical mystery tour through landscapes that make other counties jealous.
Market towns come with their own quirky charm. Ross-on-Wye, with its hill-perched awesomeness overlooking the River Wye, is all about timber-framed buildings and views while Leominster brings the medieval market square vibe, where you can shop for antiques. The Black and White Village Trail is like a treasure hunt for half-timbered houses. Weobley and Pembridge sit on the trail, showcasing Herefordshire's architectural game. Ledbury adds an Elizabethan masterpiece, Eastnor Castle, to the mix, surrounded by lush grounds and a deer park where you might enjoy one of its many events. Bromyard is gorgeous with independent shops and a market that is a social event. Hay-on-Wye is the "Town of Books," where bookshops are sprinkled throughout the town and the Hay Festival draws writers and readers from all over.
Herefordshire is the cider capital and you have not truly lived until you have toured an orchard, sampled local brews and gained insights into the ancient art of cider making. Herefordshire is not just a place, it is an experience. Rich history, stunning landscapes and communities that are so welcoming. Whether you are into medieval landmarks, outdoor adventures, shopping or just soaking in the countryside's tranquility, Herefordshire is waiting to captivate your soul.

There are trampolines, swings, sandpits, playbarns and zip lines to keep little ones active, plus a small collection of friendly animals to pet and discover.
Grab your bikes and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape on the local Ledbury Loop, a 17-mile moderate route through daffodils and famous poet landmarks. A wonderful way to explore local towns and villages with trickling streams, picnic spots and pub stop offs along the way.
Why not get crafty at GlazyDayz Paint Your Own Pottery studio in Ledbury where little ones can paint their own pirates, princesses, animals and more then have it fired in a kiln ready to collect before your holiday is through.
About forty mins away by car is the stunning Forest of Dean, a great adventure hub with vast forests, cycle trails for all abilities, beautiful lakes and some Harry Potter filming location landmarks for fans of the films!

We had a magical relaxing stay and I have no doubt that we will return.
We recently returned from a wonderful four days at the Estate. Summer Barn is beautifully furnished and so cosy and comfortable. The provision of good quality bed linen, towels and also pool towels was great. Lovely toiletries. Having the hamper with all the kitchen essentials is a great touch, as was the wood and kindling for the fireplace. The pool is fantastic and was such a bonus for the children during our stay.
We had never been to the Malvern Hills and fell in love with the views from Summer Barn as well as the stunning walks that are right on the doorstep.
Big thanks to Sarah for her welcome and speedy response to any queries/needs.
All in all, we had a magical relaxing stay and I have no doubt that we will return. -
What a fantastic place - we would highly recommend!!
We have just returned from a long weekend staying in Summer Barn with 4 couples, 1 baby and a dog. What a fantastic place - we would highly recommend!!
The rooms were spacious, the living area was more than big enough for us all with a fantastic wood fire for the cold evenings. Treatments were easily organised out in the teepee (with fire) and were very relaxing and lovely walks were possible straight from the door.
The swimming pool was like being at a luxury spa and we spent the whole drive home saying how good it was and that we will be returning!
We arrived home and realised we had left an item of jewellery, one phone call later and it was popped in the post and returned - very grateful.
Overall, fantastic hosts, venue and location for a really special weekend. -
Amazing
We booked this with friends and between us, we have four teenagers. We stayed in the Summer Barn. There was plenty of room for us all. We were not disappointed with our choice. In fact, we couldn't have chosen better. What a fantastic conversion, with beautiful interior design and attention to detail. The setting is tranquil, with stunning views. There was lots to do locally, although a car is essential. The owner was full of useful advice about the local area. The hamper we received as part of our stay was the icing on the cake and such a lovely touch. As were the bathrobes for our use during our stay. We made good use of the log burner too. This has to be the best holiday place we have rented and one I would happily return to again and again.

We will definitely return in future
We booked the Summer Barn at short notice over the long Easter Weekend for two families, with five children aged 5 and under between us. The barn was beautifully decorated with incredible attention to detail and we particularly enjoyed the luxurious toiletries, fluffy bathrobes and incredible welcome hamper. Mark was always on hand to help with any questions and provided good tips for restaurants nearby. The personal touches (e.g. chocolate Easter bunnies on the children's beds) made us feel very welcome and it was the perfect setting for an Easter weekend, with rolling hills for walks and lots of wildlife (which the children loved!) right on our doorstep.
