White House Hideaway Cabins

Turn off the main road near Ross-on-Wye and keep going until your phone signal gives up – that’s when you know you’re close. This quintet of unique eco cabins sit on a 4th-generation family farm, where dairy cows graze, birds chat and the River Wye meanders through the fields to a secret pebble beach. Dip in for wild swims, fish for trout or paddleboard straight from this private access point (you can be a little smug that everyone else will be queuing at Symonds Yat). Afterwards, warm up in your wood-fired hot tub or bath, or stretch out by your firepit; ah, this is the life.

Each cabin is different architecturally – with a stunning new A-frame just added to the mix – but minimalist Scandi calm runs throughout: blonde and black woods, low beds with soft neutral linens, a hidden library of favourite books, a pot plant or 2. Dogs are not just tolerated, but wholeheartedly welcomed, and will love adventures on the Wye Valley Walk then snoozing by your woodburner. With views that sweep across the valley and nothing but peace for company, this is a perfect place to hole up for a few days – and to dip in and out of Hereforshire’s brilliant foodie scene.

Getting here: drive, or train to Ledbury or Hereford then taxi (20 mins)
