Proposing hours of fireside bliss, the main living area in rich navy with tastefully contrasting white wainscoting is a snug place to reside.

An idyllic space for relaxing in quiet moments or gathering over games, the wonderful entertainment room promises even more delight. Framed by white-washed walls ribbed with open beams, this inviting space is home to both a lounge and dining area. At one end, two three-seater green velvet Tetrad sofas, a Tetrad armchair, large fluffy floor cushion and faux cowhide armchair and footstool beckon for comfort. Meanwhile, at the other, an eighteen-person dining table lends itself perfectly to drawn-out brunches and candlelit repasts. Enjoy the warmth from the dining area's wood burning stove and set the perfect soundtrack on the Rocket vinyl jukebox. A screen with a projector and KEF floor standing speakers promise the perfect setting for a private cinema experience, with the addition of an Amazon Firestick to press play on your favourite films. The Jukebox and surround sound system are both Bluetooth compatible.

In the Area

Set within the bucolic swathes of Herefordshire, Shucknall Court is only a stone's throw from a number of picture-perfect market towns including Hereford, Ledbury and Hay-on-Wye (the town of books). If you can pull yourself away from your luxury escape, a wonderful array of shops, attractions and restaurants await in abundance. For seekers of fine flavours, The Market House Café and Gin Bar, Sitara Restaurant and The Nest at Little Verzons Farm in Ledbury are particularly tempting after a day's boutique browsing. Meanwhile in Hereford, The Yard, The Beefy Boys and Sensory & Rye lure with further choice. Showcasing the best of Hereford's local ingredients, Carriages Restaurant is well worth visiting, and is only a mile from Shucknall Court. For fine dining with a Michelin star twist, Pensons restaurant in Tenbury Wells opens its doors for delicious meals, special events, and foodie masterclasses.

For a drop of inspiration, you can also visit Frome Valley Vineyard, Three Choirs Vineyard and Furnace Wines for unmissable wine tours and experiences. Or, should you wish to take some treats back to your private retreat, Legges Farm Shop and Deli in Bromyard and Peter Cooks Bakery at Five Bridges are recommended. For the latter, you can even place an order to have fresh bread and baked goods delivered for your stay. To walk up an appetite, head out into the Malvern Hills and enjoy the stunning surroundings. The hike up to British Camp, a hilltop Iron Age fort, is especially worthwhile for its far-reaching views. Elsewhere, Symonds Yat Rock above the River Wye, the 860-acre Haugh Woods in Hereford, and The Black Hill (Cat's Back) in the Black Mountains are all great choices for strolls in the great outdoors.
