1 / 24Aconbury Pods - Woodcock
Aconbury, Herefordshire
A pod for two at Aconbury near Hereford, on a 630 acre working farm, with an enclosed garden, everything on one level and one dog welcome.
There is a church in the woods on this farm. Not a village church with a village round it, but an estate one, standing among trees on ground that has belonged to the same holding for centuries and reached on foot. Woodcock sleeps two at Aconbury, dog friendly, with its own enclosed garden and an allowance of one. Having something that odd within walking distance is worth more on a short break than another attraction with a car park.
The pod itself is small and complete. A bed, a shower room, an enclosure outside for the dog, and no stairs anywhere in it or up to it. The 630 acres of farmland and woodland it stands in are laced with waymarked paths, so a day can be spent entirely on the holding without crossing a road, which is a rarer thing to be able to say than it sounds.
Mornings go slowly and there is no reason to hurry them. Out of the door, along the tracks, one dog covering four times the ground anybody else does, and back before the day has properly decided what it is doing. The garden is enclosed, so first thing in the morning a dog goes out without a lead, and the farm noises are the only ones there are.
The church on the estate is the nearest thing to an attraction, and Hereford is a short drive for anybody who wants a city. Otherwise this corner of the county keeps to itself: lanes with grass down the middle, orchards, and the ground falling away west towards the Welsh border. A dog gets footpaths from the gate in three directions and almost nothing to meet on them.
