The lets are configured around a pretty courtyard. Because of the design, each home gets privacy. Little Howle Farm dates back to the early 1800's so all the buildings have thick stone walls, which in the winter hold the heat and in the summer keeps them lovely and cool inside. We are no longer a working farm, what were once working barns are now beautiful holiday lets.
Acorn Cottage has one double bedroom with luxury ensuite bathroom the bed can be configured as a king size bed or two single beds. The bathroom includes a bath and generous, separate shower. We provide cotton bedding, luxury fluffy bath sheets, hand towels, flannels and bath mats, shower gel and White Company bubble bath. The living area is situated upstairs and is open plan. The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. We provide tea towels, dish cloths/sponge, oven gloves and apron as well as cleaning products. There is a back door which opens out on to the original barn steps leading to the car park and garden.
Games, puzzles, local information, suggested walks and OS maps are provided.
There is a patio area directly outside the cottage, which is a lovely sheltered place to sit, as it gets the sun all day. We also invite our guests to use the rear garden, which includes a barbeque and fire pit area, a large lawned area and a sun terrace at the top of the garden over looking the Malvern Hills. There is very little light pollution in Howle Hill so the terrace is perfect for star gazing.
There is plenty of on site parking is available to the rear of the barn.
We have a laundry room should guests need it (payable separately).
Howle Hill is a tiny settlement, too small to be called a village! It is very quiet here.
Many guests describe it as a haven and often comment how well they sleep and how relaxed they feel. We are perfectly placed between the Wye Valley and The Forest of Dean. A 5 minute drive from Ross on Wye with its many pubs, restaurants, shops and watersports on the river Wye. A 10 minute drive in the other direction takes you into The Forest of Dean.
We provide a welcome pack which includes Milk, local fruit juice, Weston's cider, cake, tea, coffee and sugar.
Acorn Cottage can be linked internally with Rivington Barn which creates a 3 double ensuite bedroom property to sleep 6. We also have The Granary which sleeps 4, meaning we can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests at any one time.
