Overview
Description
River Cottage is tucked away at the foot of the Black Hill, close to the Welsh border in rural Herefordshire. You'll be surrounded by peaceful farmland and ancient hedgerows in an area blessed with stunning scenery and spectacular walks from the front door. Wake up to birdsong and the gentle flow of the River Monnow for a real sense of tranquility and enjoy the quality and comfort of this perfect holiday home from home. The child-size shepherd's hut is a huge hit with young ones too!Please note that our cottages are pet-free due to family allergies.
The front door to the cottage opens into an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with woodburning-effect electric stove and large French windows to the patio. There is a 55 inch Smart TV and excellent free Wifi. Two armchairs and a sofa provide comfortable seating (the sofa is a double sofa bed which can accommodate up to 2 additional guests.

Wonderful cottage
By Daniel on 29-May-2026Perfect in every way. Beautiful location, wonderful cottage and lovely hosts. Couldn’t be better. Can’t recommend this highly enough
Thank you for the much needed break
By Penny on 04-May-2026We had a great time in the black mountains - on the first day we climbed pen y fan and the second the black hill (cat's back) and had a humongous delicious roast in the Three Tuns (Hay on Wye). We also visited Hereford on the way home. It was lovely to be in the nature and have a good break in the countryside. The house was warm, clean and comfy and we would recommend it to others. Gethin had left cake, crisps, sweets, eggs, milk and juice out for us - thank you for the goodies! The kids loved playing in the hut and being wild garlic season we brought some back for making pesto ! Thank you for the much needed break.

A wonderful few days away
By Hayley on 02-Apr-2026We had a wonderful few days exploring this part of the world. The house had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches. The Easter eggs were a huge hit with our children as well as the little hut outside and the bridge over the stream. We highly recommend this place!
