The Experience
There’s a wonderfully secluded feel as you come down the long drive to your green escape in pretty grounds with colourful planting, ponds and wildflower meadows.
You have this three-roomed cob house to yourself and one of the great things about kind owners living next door is breakfast… delivered to the sitting room or veranda. Go continental or full English – both star local produce – and Aga porridge is on the menu too.
Patient watchers may see roe deer, badgers, perhaps a hare. Walkers can head straight out of the gate and onto the 154-mile Herefordshire Trail; or simply stroll to one of the local pubs for lunch. There’s the river Wye and Hay’s bookshops, and more, to visit. When owls are hooting you can sneak to the shepherd’s hut with a fire pit on the decking and train the telescope on dark night skies.

Thank you Lynn and Simon for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for treating us to such delicious food and drink. We were absolutely thrilled to try your homemade apple juice squeezed only the day before. The Cob is a truly special place with such character and set amongst beautiful and abundant nature. We feel so blessed to have been able to stay here. Thanks you so much for sharing your home with us and for your warmth and hospitality. We gratefully appreciated all your thoughtful personal touches and look forward to visiting again.

A truly magical place. Beautiful and tranquil. Simon and Lynn have created a great experience. The chance to sit out on the veranda more or less whatever the weather is special. Lynn and Simon are exceptional hosts.

We had such a lovely weekend in this beautiful place. Simon and Lynn made us feel completely at home in their stunning B&B and ensured we had everything we needed for the duration of our stay, we couldn't have asked for better hosts. The Cob is extremely cosy and clean, well-furnished and the wood burner was great. Breakfast choice was fantastic and having this on the veranda each morning was a perfect way to start the day surrounded by nature. It is such a great location for many lovely walks, activities and various country pubs - a must stay for anyone visiting this area to relax and unwind.

Bookish Hay with its range of other shops and eateries, is five miles; Hereford station is 18.
Local points of interest from Simon & Lynn Woodward
- Only ten minutes away, Hay-on-Wye, our nearest town famous for it’s bookshops and festival has a lot more to offer; independent shops, Galleries, and antique shops aplenty. There is a market every Thursday with local produce and crafts on sale.
- For a great day out, drive or cycle The Black and White Village Trail, a forty mile circular route through the peaceful Herefordshire countryside, stopping off for beautiful views, tea shops, churches, gardens and more.
- A great base for walking, we are situated on The Herefordshire Trail, a 150 mile loop of Herefordshire, and around a mile from Offa’s Dyke Path. The Brecon Beacons an Black Mountains are only a short drive away.
- The towns of Leominster and Brecon and the City of Hereford are within half an hour’s drive.
- We love Talgarth Mill, a fully restored 18th century flour mill powered by the River Ellywe. Take a tour, then enjoy lunch in The Baker’s Table Cafe and wander through the gardens.
- Kington Golf Club, the highest in England with it’s panoramic views is only five miles away.

Introducing
Simon & Lynn Woodward
The Woodwards’ dream of renovating a property for guests has taken great shape at The Cob. They moved here in 2019, having sold their bathroom design business in Cheshire, and their passion for the project and for sharing the results makes them ideal hosts. They’re re-wilding parts of the surrounding land, are just across the way if you need anything and happy to leave you in peace if you don’t.
The best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in. The Cob is a beautiful property, fully equipped, stylishly and tastefully decorated, warm, cosy and quiet. Sitting on the veranda wrapped in warm rugs with a morning coffee watching and listening to the birds is one of the great pleasures of life. The hosts could not have been more helpful or accommodating. The breakfasts were wonderful. Waking up to views over the garden with the leaves turning autumnal colours, just wow! The Cob is secluded but there is plenty to do nearby. We look forward to visiting again soon.
