We had the best stay at this wonderful place in July 2021. My family and I hired all cottages out and it was the perfect getaway - allowing us to all be together but have our own space. Our cottage was beautiful with so many original features, yet all the mod cons. Kitchen perfectly stocked with everything you need. Serena and Simon were amazing hosts and made us all feel welcome and comfortable. They were on hand with recommendations and ready to answer any questions. Its a beautiful part of the country with lots to see and I would certainly recommend staying here to make the most of it.

We had such a wonderful stay at the beautiful White House Cottages a few weeks ago. Lends itself so well to both big and small groups. We had a lovely welcome on arrival and had everything we needed throughout our stay. Set in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside with plenty of activities to choose from it is a perfect UK based getaway. We will definitely be back :-)

Really can't fault White House Cottages, perfect family getaway after a difficult year. Plenty of activities on offer in the beautiful countryside, we especially enjoyed the canoeing and the family bbq in the gardens of the Cottages. Plenty of space to sit and chill in the sun with a big group, and even spade for a game of badminton ! Will definitely be back, thanks again.

Just back from a very relaxing family weekend at White House cottages. We filled all 5 cottages - 12 adults and 3 children under 2. We as the Senior adults stayed in the Welsh Cottage, quirky and so well equipped. Spotless throughout, very comfortable and beautifully dressed bed. Our little granddaughter who was staying next door in the Hop Pickers cottage loved popping over to us and particularly enjoyed sitting in the lovely winged chairs and entertained her little baby cousins with her antics. Very safe place for children and wonderful holiday space. You will be spoiled for choice for

Beautiful cottages near Ledbury. We stayed with our extended family and booked all 5 cottages for the weekend. They were all well equipped (including BBQs) and the hosts were very accommodating. The WiFi is good throughout all of the properties and shared garden space. We stayed in The Kiln and found the blackout blinds particularly useful upstairs in this property because we had the baby sleeping in the travel cot up there. I would highly recommend these cottages which are beautifully presented and in a great location to explore the Wye river areas.
