Docklow House Docklow, Herefordshire

Tucked away in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, this is a great holiday property for family and friends. The 2.5-acre open aspect garden is a wonderful space for relaxing and outdoor games. Explore the 30 acres of woodland which border the garden, and you may encounter wildlife including Muntjac deer. At 1.8-miles long, the woodland trail which starts at the bottom of the garden is ideal for a walk; children can get involved with the owl trail. Just 0.5 miles away you’ll find The Grove, home to adventure golf, a driving range, a bowling alley and a restaurant. Oaker Wood (9 miles) offers all manner of exciting activities including paintballing, quad trekking, and high ropes – or how about a spot of karting at Herefordshire Raceway (13.5 miles). Leominster is 5 miles away, famous for its antique shops and quaint black and white buildings. For history lovers, the impressive Berrington Hall and Hampton Court Castle Estate (within 8 miles) are well worth a visit.

Step inside this impressive retreat, where space, comfort and rural charm combine to create a wonderful setting for group getaways.
