The Damselfly Retreat, Ledbury

The Damselfly Retreat is a traditional wooden lodge tucked away in six secluded acres of Herefordshire countryside, just 4 miles from Ledbury. This 5-star rated 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 perfect for anyone who wants to escape 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. There's even a well-equipped 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 with en-suite at the rear and a ground floor single with its own shower room. The kitchen comes fully equipped with gas oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. The lounge features a SmartTV and wood burner with your first basket of logs included - 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 the perfect base for exploring the Malvern Hills, Eastnor Castle (3 miles), Weston's Cider Mill (7 miles) and Hereford Cathedral (16 miles).

The Damselfly Retreat is ideal for families or friends looking for quality time together. The private hot tub on the terrace is perfect for evening soaks under the stars - just add wine and good conversation. Or bad jokes. Whatever floats your boat.
