Heron, a charming single-storey dwelling is nestled in the peaceful village of Shobdon, Herefordshire. Perfectly-situated within accessible reach of the Welsh border and the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Heron is the perfect pet-friendly getaway for couples, families and friends who are seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As you enter Heron, be impressed by the spacious open-plan living space, featuring everything you need to enjoy a fuss-free, self-catered stay. Take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up a delicious meal for the whole family, before settling down at the dining table to tuck into, pouring the wine as conversation turns to your itinerary for the upcoming days.

Choose from two charming bedrooms to doze off in, each finished to a high standard and offering a peaceful haven to unwind in after a busy day. Whether you're looking for a relaxing break or an adventure-filled holiday, Heron will not disappoint.

The pleasant village of Shobdon lies between the historic market towns of Leominster and Presteigne, and is surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside, close to the Welsh borderlands. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, Shobdon has a village shop, an excellent pub/restaurant, and even a private airfield, providing a rare opportunity to learn how to fly helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Leominster, dating back to the 7th century possesses some fine examples of architecture including the Priory Church, along with a wide selection of shops, cafes, antiques centres and pubs - an ideal place to spend an afternoon. Close by are many National Trust properties including Croft Castle and Berrington Hall, plus the Judge's Lodgings in Presteigne, Stokesay Castle, the renowned Shropshire Discovery Centre and the Acton Scott Historic Farm. Sample Herefordshire's cider or discover Hereford with its fascinating Mappa Mundi world map and the captivating chained library, home to a collection of rare and ancient books. The pretty medieval market town of Ludlow is also close by and makes a great day out, with more than 500 listed buildings and a magnificent castle.
