Situated in the heart of the Three Counties area and magnificent Malvern Hills, Ledbury is the perfect place for a holiday. Take time out to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery, picturesque towns and villages, and superb countryside. The Old Kennels Farm is a small, friendly, family-run farm of 24 acres, where tasty apples are grown in the on-site orchard, and each autumn they are harvested to make cider that is transported to some of the most prestigious venues in London and various outlets around the country. The holiday cottages (refs UK41822, UKC1766, UKC1767, UKC1768, UKC1769 and UKC1770) are conversions of old farm buildings that are at the top end of the site and are all named after old varieties of cider apples.
The farm is perfectly positioned on the outskirts of Ledbury in picturesque Herefordshire. Ledbury is a pretty, well-kept town in the east of the county, with fantastic examples of timber framed buildings, including the market hall dating back to the 17th century. Explore the town’s cobbled streets, which in summer are adorned with the most beautiful hanging baskets, and which have won ’Britain in Bloom’ competitions. Half a mile easy walk will take you into the town centre, where you will find public houses and restaurants, a small leisure centre, swimming pool and a gymnasium. There is also a variety of small individual shops and two larger supermarkets.
Local attractions include Eastnor Castle, a deer park, exhilarating Landrover experiences, off roading, golf, balloon flights, family pottery sessions at Eastnor Pottery, Hellens Manor, Newent Heritage Centre and The International Centre for Birds of Prey. Visit Westons, where you can experience a shire horse dray ride, sample Westons Cider on the mill tour or simply wander through the courtyard garden. Newbridge Farm Park is where children can get hands on with the animals or explore the Hop Pocket Shopping Village. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Few days before our holiday, owner Annie, who is really friendly, rang to ask if we could change our accommodation. From her alternatives, we chose Foxwhelp. It was a lovely modern barn recently renovated. It was immaculately clean with all the equipment you needed. Probably needed a blanket though for the bed, as the quilt was thin and felt cold once heating turned off. Location was ideal, being a 15 minute easy walk into picturesque Ledbury town. Lovely shops and good places to eat. Also short drive to the Malvern Hills. I was slightly disappointed with changing barns, as Yarlington Mill looked cosy with much character, which is why I chose to stay there originally. However, I would recommend Foxwhelp to anyone.

Very good for a short break, close enough to Ledbury to walk there but far enough away to be peaceful and also not worry about parking. Great that dogs are welcome. Facilities are adequate but does lack washing machine and the cooker is very basic. Reasonable sized rooms upstairs with a double and single. Only has a shower, no bath and its pretty small.
