Property Description
Description of the home
This beautiful 17th century Grade II listed manor house stands in grounds of around 1 acre, on the banks of the River Arrow. It is on the Black and White Trail, and in one of Herefordshire's loveliest villages.
Furnished with luxury and relaxation in mind, the house offers a mix of traditional style and 21st century technology such as 42inch flat-screen TV with Sky Plus and cinema surround-sound, and BT Broadband. The ground floor comprises a large kitchen with Aga and dining area, study, sitting room, living room with baby grand piano and inglenook fireplace, and separate dining room to seat up to 20. The 11 bedrooms (4 ensuite) contain 5 kings, 2 twins, and 4 antique four-posters. There is a large garden with dovecote, hot tub and trampoline, and games barn with table tennis, air hockey, football and pool tables. Two traditional village pubs serve home-cooked food and there is a tea room and general store.
The Location
The Black and White Trail was developed as a means of encouraging visitors to take a closer look at the beautiful countryside and villages between Leominster and Kingston in north-west Herefordshire. The trail is characterised by the large number of timbered and half-timbered houses in the area - some dating from medieval times. The Manor House is about 5 miles west of Leominster, 15 miles from Hereford and 10 miles from the Welsh and Shropshire borders. Visit the dovecote or the 14th century Parish Church in the village, take a walk along Offa's Dyke or see the fine houses and castles at Ludlow and Stokesay. Spend the day shopping in Hay-on-Wye, Shrewsbury or Worcester or view Mappi Mundi at Hereford Cathedral. About a mile away Burton Court houses an extensive collection of European and Oriental costumes - It also has a history dating back to the Domesday Book. Oxford, the Cotwsolds and Shakespear's Stratford-on-Avon can all be reached within 2 hours.

Activities & Attractions
Local Activities: cycling, fishing, golf, horse riding, mountain biking, swimming, tennis, walking
Notes: Past experience has shown us that happy children make for relaxed parents, so our younger guests are catered for with a good selection of toys, books, games, VCR's, DVD's, 8 TV's (Sky connection in the sitting room and study), and 2 x PS2 consoles (one with Singstar and 2 microphones for karaoke competitions). Outside there is an 18ft trampoline (with surround net for safety), a basketball hoop and a barn with pool table, air hockey table, football table and table tennis table. Adults can enjoy a leisurely lie-in in a 4-poster bed with goose-down duvet, relax on the squishy sofas beside the wood burning stove, or simply read a book in the Aga-warmed kitchen. In the garden the large, sunny terrace has ample garden furniture for all of our guests to enjoy a leisurely lunch or just sit and enjoy the beautiful grounds. The hot tub and secluded seating areas around the borders of the garden make a fabulous location to unwind with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

The Village
Eardlisland Parish Church and St Mary the Virgin dates back to the 14th century, and regularly holds exhibitions and Flower Festivals. The dovecote (the rear of which is situated in the garden of the Manor House), is a Grade II listed building which has recently been restored and houses an exhibition about the village. Access to the dovecote is via the main public entrance. There are 2 public houses in the village; The White Swan Inn and The Cross Inn. Both serve home-cooked food. In addition there are tea rooms open 7 days per week and a part-time post office and general store.
Ludlow The nearby historic market town of Ludlow has been referred to as 'the perfect historic town'. It has a castle, over 500 listed buildings, and still retains it's medieval street layout. It hosts an annual 3-day food festival, and a weekly producers market, offering locally grown cheeses, fish, meat, poultry, game, fuit and vegetables. Also known as Britain's food capital, it boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere in Britain outside London.
