1 / 24Sunburst Barn
Pencombe, Herefordshire
A three bedroom barn for five on a working cherry farm at Pencombe near Bromyard, with waymarked paths to walk, an enclosed garden and three dogs welcome.
The farm this barn stands on grows cherries, and guests are told they may walk it. There are waymarked paths through the orchards with seats put out along them, which turns the ground outside the door into the first walk of the day. Sunburst Barn sleeps five at Pencombe, dog friendly, with its own fully enclosed garden through the lounge doors, and three dogs are welcome. A farm you may cross is what an allowance that size actually needs.
Inside is one open room doing the work of three, lounge, kitchen and dining, under hand-carved beams that predate the letting of it by centuries. Three bedrooms take five people, one en-suite, so the single sleeper is not an afterthought stuck on a landing. Three dogs coming in off an orchard bring a good deal of it with them, and a floor finished to this standard that still expects it is the useful sort of five star.
Five people and three dogs is the shape this suits, and the walk beginning at the door is most of the reason. Pencombe sits on the edge of nothing in particular, a village on a lane with north Herefordshire folding away from it, and the fruit farm is why this field rather than the next. Three dogs get orchard rows, farm tracks and a garden to be shut into afterwards.
Bromyard, 5 miles north, is a black and white market town on the Frome with a bookshop, a folk festival and very little traffic. Bringsty Common spreads east of it, rough grazing and gorse with an old drovers' inn set down in the middle. Three dogs get open grazing with no fences on it and soft going underfoot.

Is Sunburst Barn dog friendly?
Yes, Sunburst Barn welcomes up to three dogs. The barn has its own fully enclosed garden accessible through the lounge doors, and guests are also welcome to walk the working cherry farm, which has waymarked paths through the orchards with seats along the way.
Are dogs allowed at Sunburst Barn year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the setup — enclosed garden, farm tracks and orchard walks — is one that works well in any season.
What should I know before visiting Sunburst Barn with my dog?
Up to three dogs are welcome, which suits the property well given the space on offer — an enclosed garden, waymarked orchard paths and access across the farm. The interior has high-quality flooring but is described as fully expecting dogs coming in off a farm, so it's a practical as well as comfortable set-up. Nearby Bringsty Common, around five miles north near Bromyard, offers open unfenced grazing with soft going underfoot if you're looking for somewhere further afield to stretch legs.
