The Damselfly Retreat is a traditional wooden lodge tucked away in six secluded acres of Herefordshire countryside, just 4 miles from Ledbury. This cabin offers three bedrooms with their own bathrooms and enough space for five people to spread out without getting on each other's nerves.
Set in peaceful woodland surroundings, this accommodation is a good escape from the daily grind. The grounds feature wildlife ponds and a shared natural swimming pool that'll make you feel like you're wild swimming without the actual 'wild' bit. Guests often mention the gym and sauna on site for those who want to work off last night's pub dinner.

Guests often mention the gym and sauna on site for those who want to work off last night's pub dinner. The resident donkeys are a hit with kids and adults who've had a few too many.
The accommodation includes a king bedroom with en-suite at the front, a double bedroom at the rear and a ground floor single, with two en-suite shower rooms between them. The kitchen comes fully equipped with gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The lounge has a wood burner - because nothing kills a romantic mood faster than having to chop your own wood.
Ledbury is just 10 minutes away with its historic buildings, shops and pubs. It's a good base for exploring the Malvern Hills, Eastnor Castle (3 miles), Weston's Cider Mill (7 miles) and Hereford Cathedral (16 miles).
The Damselfly Retreat suits families or friends looking for quality time together. The private hot tub is perfect for evening soaks under the stars, with the wildlife ponds and woodland close by - just add wine and good conversation. Or bad jokes. Whatever floats your boat.
