This elegant, characterful barn tucked within a vast acreage of land offers up to eight guests a chance to holiday in style and with the Malvern Hills as your backdrop there is much to explore in this famously literary area of Herefordshire.
As part of a complex of converted properties, Oaks Barn oozes individual style and artistic flare, with colourful pictures on the walls, sturdy wooden beams in the ceiling and far-reaching views to enjoy throughout. Settle down with friends and a bottle of wine in front of the large log burner in the living area on the middle floor, a great place to relax of an evening with stereo system and a Smart TV with DVD library if you fancy a movie night. Underfloor heating ensures everyone stays toasty if the weather takes a turn and a selection of board games will provide the makings of a lively games’ night!
Follow the exposed brick and wooden flooring to a well-stocked kitchen with oven, washing machine, dryer and coffee machine, and cook up a meal to be enjoyed at the long table seating eight comfortably. The light and airy living space makes it easy to glide from one space to another with a glass of wine in hand, with plenty of comfortable seating to sink into.
The bedrooms are split between the ground and the second floor and are all decorated to a high specification with luxurious wallpaper, large comfy headboards and thoughtful finishes in each. Sink into the plush linens of the top floor master suite bedroom complete with a large walk-in en-suite shower room with rustic Italian tiles and a gorgeous roll top bath, a great place to start your mornings soaking in the bubbles. On the ground floor two double bedrooms complete with Jack and Jill en-suites and a further double with separate shower room complete the accommodation.
Each barn on the complex benefits from its own private garden, with 150 acres of surrounding land available to you during your stay.

The town of Ledbury is surrounded by woods, orchard and hills, a gateway to the footpaths leading through the beautiful Malvern Hills. Potter the pretty streets and explore the brilliant independent shops where you can stock up on unique homewares, artworks and books and stop off for a coffee at the charming local cafes.
Surrounded by orchards, Ledbury is in the middle of Big Apple Country! Twice a year the town celebrates the Big Apple Festivals, but year-round you can head to Weston’s Cider for a tasting tour and orchard walk. Coddington Vineyard is also a must for wine-lovers who want to investigate the fruits of this growing wine region.
A trip to Eastnor Castle is well worth a visit (check website for seasonal opening hours) Take a tour through the historic nineteenth century castle and explore the magnificent state rooms, surrounding arboretum and pretty lake. Overlooking the castle and the Malvern Hills is the impressive 300-acre Eastnor Deer Park, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a herd of Red Deer grazing in the grounds. Those planning a fulfilling walk could take the path up to Eastnor Obelisk and join the path to Worcestershire Way or the Malvern Hills.
For ten days every July the town of Ledbury is home to the largest Poetry Festival in the UK, thanks to the region inspiring a range of poets and writers from Tolkien to C.S. Lewis. Take a trip to the Barrett Browning Institute to find more information on the poetic heritage of the town and explore the charming Tudor buildings that house the exhibitions.
A trip to nearby Hereford would not be complete with a visit to the spectacular Hereford Cathedral with a beautiful stained-glass window and stone monument standing as a memorial to the SAS, a lovely spot to reflect and catch your breath. After your visit take a trip to the local Black and White Museum, a perfectly preserved Jacobean timber-framed house that unveils a varied and fascinating story of Hereford’s history dating back to the English Civil War.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Mark and shown around the Oaks Barn, our home for the week. From the minute you arrive you feel instantly relaxed. The property has been beautifully restored, furnished and maintained. The layout of the Oaks Barn provided us with lots of privacy and views over the countryside. A welcome hamper of fresh bread, milk, butter, local pork pies and a bottle of apple juice complimented a delicious Easter cake. The beds were very comfortable, linens crisp clean and smelling very fresh. We loved the Stovax log burner, it made for very cosy evenings in enjoying our surroundings. We travelled with the family dog, who loved the barn, and the enclosed garden meant that he was able to enjoy chasing the pheasants but ensuring that they could always escape just in time!

We booked this with friends and between us, we have four teenagers. We stayed in Oaks Barn. There was plenty of room for us all. We were not disappointed with our choice. In fact, we couldn't have chosen better. What a fantastic conversion, with beautiful interior design and attention to detail. The setting is tranquil, with stunning views. There was lots to do locally, although a car is essential. The owner was full of useful advice about the local area. The hamper we received as part of our stay was the icing on the cake and such a lovely touch. As were the bathrobes for our use during our stay. We made good use of the log burner too. This has to be the best holiday place we have rented.
