Escape to the picturesque countryside of The Pudleston Estate in rural Herefordshire.
The historic Old Rectory offers generous accommodation for 22 guests and boasts ample entertaining spaces, perfect for spending quality time with family and friends. With a combination of comfort and practicality, you can enjoy a relaxing and memorable stay.
Our landscaped gardens and meadows provide a beautiful backdrop, with various options to play garden games, take a stroll around the lake or relax and enjoy the country views. And, if you want to explore what Herefordshire has to offer, you'll find there's plenty to do in the glorious surroundings.
The Old Rectory can welcome two small/medium well behaved dogs on the ground floor of the property. We would note that there isn't a fully fenced outdoor garden or area, so dogs would be required to stay on leads. â
