The brick-built Holmer Cottages date to the 19th century and make for a welcome escape from the city. These quaint properties each feature their own garden with views of an old apple orchard and a south-facing terrace perfect for relaxing with a book. The three cottages make up part of Woolstone village, a lovely community in the Severn Valley with a centuries-old church. Walkers can make the most of the outstanding local countryside and explore the Brecon Beacons, the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean on foot.
