Just outside the ancient town of Bromyard in Herefordshire you will find the charmingly situated Old Cowshed. The Guesthouse, which is part Victorian cowshed, and part ancient barn, has been painstakingly restored and converted over a number of years to provide a gracious and comfortable 'home from home' for our guests. It is ideal for short breaks or an overnight stop.
It sleeps up to 6 guests in spacious king-size or twin bedded private suites, furnished with traditional country antiques. There is a ground-floor suite sleeping up to 4 adults or family, and an upstairs suite sleeping up to 3 adults or family, to a maximum of 6 people at any one time.
Breakfast is cooked and served in the beamed and galleried farmhouse kitchen, using the best local bacon, free range eggs, delicious locally made sausages, and fresh mushrooms and tomatoes, along with a range of cereals, fruits, yogurt, toast and home-made marmalade and jam. Unlimited supplies of freshly made tea and coffee are always available.
We also offer an evening tray snack, such as hot wraps with a choice of delicious fillings, served with salad, fruit juice, followed by tea/coffee and cake/fruit. We are not licensed, so if you wish to bring your own wine or spirits, please do so. No corkage is charged. Special diets can be catered for with adequate notice.
Our drawing room is available for guests at all times. We have a walker-friendly entrance where you can remove muddy boots and wet coats and leave them to dry. Each room has tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryers, bathrobe, use of iron and clothes drying facilities if required. For guests staying several days or who are away from home for a while, we can do a load of washing and/or drying for you.
After breakfast feel free to relax in the drawing room, wander round the garden, or if you feel more energetic walk across the fields to Bromyard through our own young woodland or look for the ruins of St Mary's Norman Church, now a thousand years old. Or travel to some of the many attractions and local events, all within easy reach (return to Home Page to find listing).
B&B from £30-£35 (per person sharing) includes afternoon tea in the drawing room or garden, hospitality tray in the bedroom, and full English breakfast. Evening tray snacks £7.50, ordered in the morning. We offer walkers a baggage forwarding service, and 'take and collect' from starting points.
Kindly note this a no-smoking home. Guests are welcome to smoke out of doors. We regret we do not accept pets, but guide dogs are welcome.
