About this property
Holding a convenient spot on the ground floor of an historic Victorian School House, built in the early 19th century, is this lovely studio-style apartment, Garden View. Resting in the quaint, Herefordshire village of Kington, at the centre of many scenic walking routes, this self-catering cottage is the ideal base for those looking to see the best of the Herefordshire countryside. Make your way through the owner’s private multi-level garden, and climb the steps to the entrance of Garden View, entering into the kitchen/diner area where you can look forward to making a hot cup of tea after a brisk country walk. When you want to impress your other half with some cooking skills, whip up a tasty dish to be served at the dining table and enjoy a romantic meal, before retiring to the sitting area next door. Here you can find a plush sofa with a TV resting before it, perfect for a film night, while the windows provide views of Bradnor Hill and the countryside beyond.
Across from this area, rest in the double bed to recharge for another exciting day ahead, and on rising the next morning wake up with a refreshing shower in the neat bathroom. With many walking opportunities around, this delightful spot in the village of Kington makes Garden View a lovely choice for a holiday in Herefordshire.

On entering the property it was a lovely gesture to find a welcoming pack for us to enjoy. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was a joy to have a fully equiped kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and the whole setting peaceful with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.

The accommodation felt spacious - large kitchen / dining room as well as the living room / bedroom. Spotlessly clean, very quiet. Pleasant views over the walled garden, heavy with the scent of lilies when I visited. Although on the ground floor, the access from the road has a number of steps up and down and up again to reach the entrance. No problem for the reasonably able, but it could be a challenge for someone less mobile. Very well situated for walks into the centre of Kington and up to Hergest Ridge.
