Cwm Farm, Dorstone, Herefordshire, HR3 6AD • United Kingdom
 
Cwm Cottage (3 Star Graded) has been delightfully furnished and decorated with lovely fabrics, rugs furniture and original paintings. The cottage is situated down a secluded lane, with only one other cottage further along the lane; it is deep in this very special part of Herefordshire close to the border with Wales called The Golden Valley.
 
A stream flows over an ancient ford down past the cottage to eventually join The River Dore;. there are lovely views from all the windows in the cottage with the rolling hills studded with sheep grazing and The Black Mountain just beyond - made famous by Bruce Chatwin‘s 'On The Black Hill'.

A wonderful cottage to stay for walking or for riding, there are a great many bridleways criss-crossing this countryside. Dorstone has an excellent village pub/restaurant The Pandy Inn - one mile and
Hay-on-Wye five miles.
