HOTELS IN HEREFORDSHIRE FOR SHORT BREAKS

For unspoiled countryside, fine food and the best cider you've ever tasted, a short break in Herefordshire is a must! Nestling in the west of England, bordered by ancient forests and flowing rivers, every visit to Herefordshire is a delight. Herefordshire hotels and guest houses always extend a warm welcome, whatever the time of year.

Hereford's impressive Norman Cathedral overlooks a livestock market every Wednesday and twice-monthly Farmer's Market, which fill the High Street with the sounds (and smells!) of the countryside. From your Hereford hotel, you can explore the small shops around the Cathedral Close for unusual gifts; Herefordshire has a thriving craft and artistic community.

One great way to explore Herefordshire is to follow the Black and White Village Trail, a driving route through some of the most picturesque villages in England. From your bed and breakfast in Leominster, the start of the tour, you wind amongst orchards, hopyards and hills, stopping to admire the famous half-timbered houses - and the excellent teashops and picturesque country pubs - en route.
The pretty market town of Kington lies on the Welsh border, and walkers will love striding along the Offa's Dyke Path or the Mortimer Trail. For literature lovers, Hay-on-Wye is a must, where you can curl up in your Herefordshire bed and breakfast after a hard day's shopping and browse the pages of your purchases!
Active types will love the river-based activities at Ross-on-Wye; just ask the concierge at your Herefordshire hotel for details of any outdoor activities.
