Dogs policy:
We regret that as a general rule we cannot accept dogs, but do please contact us if you are a dog owner as we always do try to help where we can
Around and about Lower Hardwick:
We are surrounded by countryside and own about 14 acres of land, which includes gardens, pasture and a traditional cider orchard which is the home of 130 (last count!) trees, many of which are in their 60th year. We also have a small flock of hens which provide us with eggs and entertainment. They live in the orchard, and it is a lovely cool place to sit on a warm summer day and watch their antics.
The famous 'black and white' village trail can be joined just a mile away, and it offers a tour of beautiful traditional timer-framed villages, with pubs and tea rooms as you go. A little further afied are various market towns which all have something different to offer. Within a 30 mile radius, you will find rivers, hills, commons, open houses and gardens.
We are spoilt with several pubs and restaurants iin the area offering excellent food, all within easy reach. If you want to cater yourself, our local village offers an excellent farm shop including a butchers counter, and a 'deli ' offering a wide range of home-cooked food. Our local town, Leominster has several quality individual food shops which allows you to avoid the supermarkets for a while!
