About this cottage rental
This is a old timber framed cottage, with bathroom extension. The decor is traditional but not modern. The cottage is secluded but not isolated. Access is down a quiet country lane in the hamlet of Bircher. The nearby villages of Yarpole and Orleton are within walking distance and both have thriving village shops (Yarpole community shop is in the church) and churches. There are a wealth of footpaths in the area as well as long distance footpaths. The Mortimer Trail and Offa's Dyke path are both within reach. The area is one of rolling hills and agricultural land, in one of the most beautiful areas of the Welsh Marches. The garden is mostly lawn with scattered fruit trees which provide some shade in summer. Vintage garden furniture.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2023
My wife and I very much enjoyed our week at Gatehouse Cottage. The cottage exudes an olde world charm with its huge wooden beams and stone fireplace, while being comfortable and well equipped. The large orchard was beautiful and the location was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Its close proximity to two National Trust properties, Croft Castle and Berrington Hall, was a great bonus too. We were grateful to the owner for quickly resolving an issue with the back door. Unfortunately, our first impression of the cottage were not the best due to its old, rickety wooden gate, which is in need of replacement. Also, we found the so called "vintage" garden furniture to be rusty, uncomfortable and virtually unusable. Fortunately, we had our own fold up chairs with us so we were able to enjoy the lovely orchard. The owner mentioned that she was thinking of providing new reclining chairs, which would be a great benefit. Overall though, the cottage is lovely and we would really like to return.

Really enjoyed our third stay at this lovely cottage. The garden is amazing and it is a great location for visiting the many lovely places in Herefordshire. There are some beautiful walks right on the doorstep. Thank you Mary and Steve for a another lovely stay.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2022
This gorgeous cottage was perfect for us. Really cosy with its log burner and central heating. Long country walks can be had right from its doorstep with no need to drive anywhere. It is perfect for a “get away from it all” holiday. I am a bit reluctant to say just how great it is in case it’s not available for our inevitable return. There are so many cottages available but you can’t go wrong with this one.
