THE FARM

Surrounding Brinsop, you can freely enjoy a place undisturbed by public footpaths. Our working farm is ideal for an afternoon’s wander, studded with woodlands, fields of crops and a 14 acre perry pear orchard.

Be prepared to come across sheep, lambs, ponies, horses and the occasional tractor or combine.

Make your own way over the rolling hills and along the lush hedgerows, or try one of our trails, named after founders daughters. Follow the signs for Harriet, Alice, Molly and Florrie’s routes, which can be taken together or individually, it’s completely up to you.

The moat encircling the house is home to a number of carp and trout. A little further afield is Harlands Pool, which has shyer fish and offers a more challenging sport. If you arrive without rods, we can lend our equipment.

“We fell in love with Brinsop after viewing many other venues. Being local to Herefordshire we had lots of choice but Brinsop had everything we wanted and more! Beautiful grounds, lots of accommodation, the Knot Barn for our reception and the stunning Manor House to spend the weekend with our nearest and dearest. Daisy was a particular joy in helping our day run smoothly and filled us with reassurance and trust. Our only wish is to have stayed longer! Truly the best weekend and we would do it all over again.”

“This was our third stay at the Cottages…as gorgeous as always. We took a peaceful break away from parenthood and busy lives for a tranquil stay in this beautiful piece of countryside. From the comfiest of beds, to waking to the sound of nothing but birdsong, to breakfast cooked on the Aga, a breathtaking walk up Credenhills, a glass of wine in The Bell, watching sunset and the stars come out from the hot-tub, to the stunning bath then an evening in front of the log -burner…. It doesn’t get better than Ivy Cottage. We will be back for a fourth visit very soon.”

“Thank you for facilitating a fabulous stay.  It was a perfect size for the 33 of us, and we were able to use every location to good effect.  The decorations were fabulous, and the banqueting hall was breath-taking!  Please give our special thanks to Carly and Jonathan for being so responsive when we were there.”
