A Country Break

Bosbury, Herefordshire

Foxhill House

A stone house on its own, twenty miles south of the others, at the end of a drive lined with daisies.

The cottage

Foxhill House stands on its own in Herefordshire, twenty miles south of the Kyre cottages and reached down a drive lined with daisies and wildflowers. It is small, stone-built, and Georgian across its south-facing front, which means the light works its way through the rooms for most of the day. There are two bedrooms — one king-size, one double — and two bathrooms, and you take the whole house rather than a part of it. Check-in is your own: the keys are in a key safe, so it does not matter what time the motorway lets you go. What is in front of the house is the argument for it — old countryside nobody has tidied up, and enough wildlife in it to keep anyone at the window.

What makes it special

The drive is the first thing guests mention. Daisies and wildflowers on both sides of it, and no other building in view by the time you reach the house.

The land in front has not been improved or rearranged. It is full of birds, and it changes week to week through the year in a way that a managed garden never does.
