Further details for this vacation rental in Hereford & Worcester, United Kingdom

Hereford City Centre: History is almost tangible in the centre of Hereford, and nowhere more so than in the area surrounding Castle Cliffe. Having been occupied for over 700 years, the old watergate of Hereford Castle has not only seen its own use changed. Castle Green, once the site of battles, is now an oasis of tranquility set by the banks of the River Wye. Surrounded by Hereford Cathedral, the old castle moat and Bishop's Meadow, you would not believe you were only three minutes walk from High Town and its busy shopping streets.

An Historic House: Castle Cliffe is the last remaining part of the Hereford Castle complex. Built during 13th century, it was originally the watergate for the main castle - a very grand entrance to an important castle, the original arch can be seen in the front garden. It has had a colourful history since those days, having been used as a Bridewell (local prison), the Govenor's Lodge and becoming a private residence sometime during the 18th century.

A Modern Holiday: The East House of Castle Cliffe has been lovingly restored by the present owners to provide luxury self catering holiday accommodation for parties of up to six people. With its own private south facing garden on the River Wye, a quay for launching boats and its accessibility to the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, Hay-on Wye, Tintern Abbey to name but a few, Castle Cliffe is an ideal holiday home. Please note, the owners live in the West House, but assure you of your privacy.

Historic Home from home

Susan Ewens Leeds
Review Submitted: January 19, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
I visted Castle Cliffe for 4 nights with a friend in May 2007 and loved it. Great decor (antiques - which we like). Superb huge, lofty, Victorian style dining kitchen overlooking river with every conceivable utensil you might require. Lovely cosy sitting room where we watched dvds in the evening. And spacious, traditionally furnished bedrooms, again overlooking river. Lovely well-tended garden.

Charming little market town with historic centre where we just "pottered" happily. Lovely riverside walks. VERY relaxing.
Fabulous location on river and just a short walk to the Cathedral Close which we haunted on a daily basis (it also has a good cafe and outdoor picnic area).

Can't praise the house, or its owners enough. Thanks for a relaxing break.
