What our customers say about their holidays

  Fred's Shed has a beautifully designed, Scandinavian-style interior.

  It has exposed beams, exposed stone and brick, and pieces of repurposed wood with walls that are grey and white. We really liked it. The friendly, helpful owners are just next door if you need anything. The mattresses were very comfortable - they felt firm and supportive. The kitchen had good saucepans, tin foil, cling film and washing up liquid. The fridge is a larder fridge with a small freezer compartment, so don't buy too much food in one go. There was good attention to detail, such as nightlights that come on automatically in the kitchen and lounge to illumiate the way in the middle of the night. It's quite an intimate property. For example, the doors to one of the bedrooms and the bathroom slide (leaving slight gaps), so the doors are a little less soundproof than conventional doors. One bedroom got a little loud when the heating came on at 6.30am. It sounded like the boiler and pipes were right next door. So that may be a small issue if you are a light sleeper. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Overall, we had a lovely time and would certainly consider returning.

  A truly wonderful countryside holiday home.

  Sarah and Paul, the owners, could not do enough for us. Fred's Shed is a real credit to them. They have renovated the barn beautifully with it's rustic, country quirks and homely feel. We felt at home from the minute we stepped inside (So did our dog, Ralphy!) There was plenty of room for 4 adults and the dog. There is a gorgeous outdoor space for an afternoon drink, and our very own huge paddock for the dog to roam too. Every detail had been carefully considered from the dog treats, home-made bread, Nespresso machine pods to the fresh flowers. Fred's Shed is in a beautiful, countryside location and is situated perfectly to explore Herefordshire. (Eastnor castle, Symonds Yat - Ross On Wye, Breacon Beacon, Malvern Hills to name a few.) There are some fantastic countryside pubs (dog-friendly) and restaurants in the local area too. I would definitely recommend Fred's Shed and would return! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

  Outstanding 'Cottage' in the wonderful British countryside.

  The accommodation was finished to a very high, modern, standard, but still retained the character of the original cow shed, with original brickwork and beams. The place felt very homely with some well thought out touches to make it feel more like a home you are borrowing than a holiday rental. The owners live in a connecting barn but judged the level of contact perfectly. There if you had a question, or just a chat about the area, but didn't intrude. You are 15 mins from Hereford and there are a number of other small towns and villages all within a short drive. Ludlow and it's market is well worth a visit. We found some lovely walks around the cottage and nearby and many more a short drive away.

  Fred’s Shed is a perfectly spaced out holiday cottage in the beautiful countryside of Herefordshire just approximately six miles from Hereford.

  Paul and Sarah Jane were perfect hosts and beautifully designed Fred’s Shed to make a comfortable home from home with everything you need to make it a perfect holiday. There are two double bedrooms one at each end of the cottage with the bathroom and living space in between with an open plan kitchen and living room. Outside there is a lovely gravelled area to sit and enjoy a glass of you favourite beverage and there’s a fenced grass space if you take your dog along. Paul and Sarah Jane left us a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and a loaf of freshly baked bread a perfect way to start our holiday.

  Wow, what a property.

  Fred’s Shed is absolutely lovely and the story of its conversion is amazing. Beautifully appointed and equipped and very comfortable with a large private paddock for our aging poodle. Warm welcome from Paul and Sarah-Jayne complete with lovely freshly made bread and Prosecco with lots of tips and suggestions for local pubs and visitor attractions. We had a wonderful time discovering this beautiful part of the country and we’ll definitely be back to see more as we feel we’ve only scratched the surface. Thoroughly recommended by Chris, Jane & Bella
