Our third visit. We have enjoyed it again. Wonderful country walks, unspoilt views, quiet old towns, good pub grub - what more could you want?

Beginning of the week, tense. End of the week, relaxed! Again - a relaxing and delightful visit with a strong sense of having been invited into an hospitable home.

What the children think
Anyone who comes must have a go at wood chopping. It takes some practice but once you get it , it has great rewards.
At night go out and have a look at the sky it is amazing, you can see every star in the sky.

Back to the adults
We have really enjoyed our holiday here.
House - spacious and comfortable and dishwasher much appreciated by us too!
Surroundings - brilliant! We had several walks on the common and got to know parts of it quite well. We walked to Croft Castle and found the Chestnut Avenue and Oak and Lime Avenues too - all with the help of the map provided. Would like to return.

Amongst the weeks highlights were visits to Berrington Hall and Stokesay Castle. For more energetic activities we found swimming in Ludlow and a horse ride across the moors fun.
Best of all however were the magnificent walks across the common and the surrounding area where we saw brilliant views of buzzards, ravens, deer, pigs, ponies and of course sheep. Thank you for a fabulous week in this excellent house.

Bayou Seco comes to visit. What a piece of heaven this is! Comfortable beds and company. We liked the local cheeses, loved the walking and driving round the area, and playing Cajun music out under the trees. Sweeping views, pheasants, sheep baaaaing, birds chirping, accordians wheezing and fiddle and guitar whirling along.
Jeanie McCleary. New Mexico, USA

For both of us the peaceful ambience of Gorsty Bank and the picturesque panoramic views were a major part in our enjoyment.
The people here are extremely friendly and everyone has a 'Good morning' or a 'Hello' for strangers. I'v always spent any holidays in Britian in the Lake District, but this countryside setting, the lovely houses, the history and the people have all lovingly converted me to Herefordshire!
Darren Clarke and Victoria Yates. Manchester.

I loved the views, the walks, the quiet, the rustic setting.
L.G. Waering. Angiers France.

We have had a delightful rural week in Herefordshire. For us 'Gorsty Bank's charm lay in it's remoteness and stunning scenery.
