Set in a total of thirty acres, with the owner's home a little way to the rear of the property, the cottage enjoys the most idyllic rural location. Views stretch in all directions. Long Wood itself is at the end of the drive and offers peaceful walks amongst its combination of conifers and ancient woodland. The wildlife includes a family of fallow deer, squirrels, foxes, as well as buzzards, kestrels, woodpeckers and pheasants. Local shops, pubs, and numerous places to eat are only a few minutes drive away, and the cottage is ideally situated for visiting nearby Ledbury, Ross on Wye and Hereford,
