The holiday lets are configured around a pretty courtyard. Because of the design, each home gets privacy. Little Howle Farm dates back to the early 1800's so all the buildings have thick stone walls, which in the winter hold the heat and in the summer keeps them lovely and cool inside. We are no longer a working farm, what were once working barns are now beautiful holiday lets.
The Granary is a traditional stone cottage. It is well equipped, in every sense. It is a perfect place to come back to at the end of a busy day exploring this amazing area.
The Granary has two large, double bedrooms, both with luxury ensuite bathrooms. Each bedroom can be configured with a king size bed or two single beds. The bathrooms both include a large bath, a separate shower, shower gel and White Company bubble bath. We provide cotton bedding, luxury fluffy bath sheets, hand towels, flannels and bath mats. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor, making it ideal for guests who may struggle with stairs. The other is up a short flight of stairs. The living area is on the ground floor. There are exposed wooden beams, a comfortable lounge area, with a smart TV and gas log effect burner and a back door leading to the enclosed private courtyard garden. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen area from the lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. To the right of the kitchen area we have a table and chairs. We provide tea towels, dish cloths/sponge, oven gloves and apron as well as cleaning products.
There are games, puzzles, local information, suggested walks and OS maps provided.
The private courtyard garden directly to the rear of The Granary is a lovely sheltered place to sit. There is a table & chairs, sun parasol and firepit. We can also provide a BBQ if guests request it. We invite our guests to use the rear garden, which includes a barbeque and fire pit area, a large lawned area and a sun terrace at the top of the garden over looking the Malvern Hills. There is very little light pollution in Howle Hill so the terrace is perfect for star gazing.
There is plenty of on site parking is available to the rear of the barn.
We have a laundry room should guests need it (payable separately).
Howle Hill is a tiny settlement, too small to be called a village! It is very quiet here.
Many guests describe it as a haven and often comment how well they sleep and how relaxed they feel here. We are perfectly placed between the Wye Valley and The Forest of Dean. A 5 minute drive from Ross on Wye with its many pubs, restaurants, shops and watersports on the river Wye. A 10 minute drive in the other direction takes you into The Forest of Dean.
We provide a welcome pack which includes Milk, local fruit juice, Weston's cider, cake, tea, coffee and sugar.
We have 3 holiday lets, providing accommodation for a maximum of 10 guests at any one time.
