Hen House is easily found (watch for the sign on Eye Lane, it's just before Google Maps thinks it is) and on arriving you feel very secluded, but not in the middle of nowhere.

well equipped cosy place which allowed us to do the things we wanted - parked the car and did not move it for the whole week.

The Hen House is a beautifully decorated and very well-equipped house with stunning views over the countryside. We loved all the extras, such as the pizza oven, hot tub and fire pit - all of which were prepped and ready to go. We were greeted with a lovely welcome tray and liked the fact there was some homemade pizza dough, sauce and cheese all rea dy to make pizzas! The cottage itself had been very thoughtfully decorated; it was both modern and cosy at the same time. The beds were comfy.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The interior was beautifully done, extremely well equipped and comfortable. The views out of every window were also perfect! The owners were really friendly and helpful. We will definitely come again!

We had a fantastic bank holiday at the Hen House with our friends. 4 adults 1 baby. The property has everything you need from hairdryer to tumble dryer and fire pit to hot tub. The location is fantastic, so close to NT properties, Leominster and Ludlow. Perfect for long walks, relaxing, reading and even sunbathing when the suns out. We definitely r ecommend and will be booking again in the near future. Thanks for a great bank holiday weekend.

Absolutely stunning property in a gorgeous location. Views all around the Hen House are incredible. The place itself is exceptionally clean and equip with anything you could possibly need and if you have any questions Heather is more than happy to help with whatever you may need. The welcome book and extras were great and extremely appreciated. We had an amazing time, even our 5 year old found things to do; we barely left the property. Would definitely recommend the Hen House to everyone!
