1 / 24Buzzards Call
Stoke Prior, Herefordshire
A wooden lodge for four on a smallholding at Stoke Prior near Leominster, with meadow views, a raised deck, an enclosed garden with a swinging egg chair, a dog paddock and two dogs welcome.
Picture windows and a vaulted ceiling frame the meadows at Buzzards Call, a charming wooden lodge for four set privately within the grounds of a Herefordshire smallholding at Stoke Prior. Two dogs come too, and this dog friendly lodge shares an enclosed dog paddock that canine companions will love.
Inside, a spacious hallway leads into the open plan living space, finished in an eclectic style with local artwork and reclaimed treasures from times gone by. The lounge area has the wood burner and Smart TV, there is room for dining at the reclaimed table, and the kitchen has a contemporary finish with open galvanised racks stocked with vintage china. Two dogs will be curled up beside the wood burner soon after arrival. The king bedroom has lovely countryside views, the second room is a twin zip and link that becomes a super king on request, and a modern bathroom completes the interior.
Outside there are two places to sit. The raised deck has a table and chairs for admiring the view, and the separate enclosed garden has outdoor dining furniture, a charcoal BBQ, a chimenea and a swinging egg chair. Guests are welcome to wander the enclosed meadows within the grounds and meet the resident goats, and the secure dog field gives the dogs their own place to play.
Waymarked footpaths and country lanes lead out across the area, ideal for walking the dogs or cycling. Leominster, 3.5 miles away, is renowned for its antique and curiosity shops, while Hereford and Ludlow, with its medieval castle and producers' market, both make good days out. For National Trust days, Croft Castle is among several sites within easy reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Buzzards Call dog friendly?
Yes, Buzzards Call welcomes two dogs. The lodge has been put together with exactly this in mind — the reclaimed furniture, mismatched china and unfussy interiors mean a wet dog walking through isn't going to cause anyone anxiety, which is rather the point.
Are dogs allowed at Buzzards Call year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but the lodge is described as dog friendly without any caveats around time of year. It's always worth confirming directly with the host when you book.
What should I know before visiting Buzzards Call with my dog?
The main thing to be aware of is that beyond the enclosed garden fence, the meadows are open to guests — and there are goats living out there. Two dogs and a herd of goats is a leads situation rather than a problem, but it's good to know before you arrive so you're not caught off guard.
