The kitchen
The Cooking Courses take place in a well designed farmhouse kitchen open to the full height of the cruck beams above. Demonstrations and food preparation take place round a central island and large table. Each cook has access to pans, knives, cooking utensils, mixers, and shared use of cookers. Aprons are provided. There is a small fridge for guests to store personal items and milk for coffee and tea.

Meadow Barn is a magnificent barn of great character with medieval origins and antique furniture. It is grade 2 listed with 15th and 16th Century wings.

The accommodation
The 15th Century wing is open to the cruck-beamed ceiling and holds the farmhouse style kitchen; dining area, and a galleried sitting room with sofas, wide screen TV, video and DVD. Another cosy sitting area has armchairs, CD, radio and a wood burning stove. Light streams in through the large glazed barn doorways and there is a sunny area to sit and relax where the glass doors open out onto a 1½ acre garden with mature planting and distant views towards the Forest of Dean. There is a very large area of grass for croquet, outdoor skittles, rounders, and volleyball, and pleasant sheltered corners to sit in and enjoy the views and bird life. Buzzards and Owls are a very common sight. No roads pass the door and the barn is surrounded by fields and apple trees.
There are six comfortable ensuite bedrooms with divan beds and TVs; three on the ground floor have ensuite shower rooms, two of which are twin rooms and one double, which has wheel chair access. Upstairs each room is also ensuite and consists of: a three single bedded room with bath; one double, also with a single bed and shower; and another has a double bed and bathroom. Each bedroom is unique; with thick oak beams and beautiful views from the windows. There is full oil fired central heating and toiletries for each guest. Everything is done to make guests as comfortable as possible so that a relaxing getaway break can be enjoyed in the depths of rural Herefordshire.


Meadow Barn is also available for Self-Catering holidays - visit the website or contact us for details.
