The Dutch Barn in Kimbolton near Leominster | Must-See Herefordshire Hot Tub Cottage

About The Dutch Barn

The Dutch Barn is a stunning semi-detached lodge in rural Herefordshire, just 2.9 miles from Leominster. This reverse-level accommodation offers breathtaking countryside views from its balcony and open-plan living area. It's the perfect escape for those who need a break from their phone-checking, email-answering lives.

Set on a working farm, you'll experience the real British countryside throughout the seasons. Watch lambing in spring, hay making in summer, or apple picking in autumn. The location puts you right between Hereford and Ludlow (both 12 miles away), making it easy to explore the Welsh borders. And yes, after a day of wandering, you can slip into the hot tub with a favourite drink. We won't judge.

The Dutch Barn sleeps 4 guests in 2 super king-size bedrooms (both can be twins if you're not that friendly). Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom - no awkward hallway dashes in your towel! The property features underfloor heating, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and large fridge/freezer. The owners even provide bathrobes for hot tub use. Fancy.

Visit Berrington Hall (National Trust property), explore Croft Castle and Parkland, or wander through Queenswood Country Park. Don't miss the famous Mappa Mundi at Hereford Cathedral (12 miles), or time your visit for Ludlow's food festivals if you fancy getting fat on local produce.

The Dutch Barn is ideal for families or friends wanting quality time together. Previous guests rave about the spotlessly clean accommodation, comfortable beds and thoughtful welcome basket. Just bring your slippers and prepare to relax.

The Dutch Barn Reviews

Sue and I were looking for a location and accommodation which created total rest and relaxation, and The Dutch Barn provided it. It is so peaceful and watching the sunrise and sunset each day from the clever upstairs living accommodation was a delight. Jackie and her team made us feel very welcome including the local produce hamper which was really appreciated. All of the facilities are well judged for short stays and the beds can only result in sound sleep. Located in the countryside but so central to reach all of the sights of Herefordshire with ease. We would thoroughly recommend this modern character property as a base for a most enjoyable holiday in this lovely county. Nick

Fabulous accommodation in a beautiful tranquil setting. The family were very welcoming and friendly. Couldnt have wished for a better place to celebrate my wifes 60th birthday . Cant wait to visit again

Richard

High quality property, beautifully presented and very well equipped in an idyllic location. Comfortable, spacious and immaculate inside and lovely surroundings. Nice welcome pack too. Overall, a great holiday home.

Rebecca

We couldn't have asked for more. We needed a few days of peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings and that's exactly what we got. A beautifully presented and immaculate cottage with everything we could have needed and more. It was spotless, so comfortable, light, airy, and being able to open the large bifold doors on the first floor living space just invited the outside in and was absolutely heavenly. A huge thanks to our host, Jackie, for thinking of absolutely everything we might have needed and for being so welcoming and the goodie basket on arrival was above and beyond but such a treat. We most certainly want to return and it will definitely be for a longer trip next time we really didn't want to leave! We would highly recommend The Dutch Barn to everyone.

William

Fantastic barn in beautiful rural location. The barn is very well equipped with everything in very good condition. Comfortable beds and luxurious towels etc. The hosts really care about great hospitality. Highly recommend.

Absolute gem of a find. We went purely to relax and enjoy the property and surroundings and it didn't disappoint. The Dutch Barn was beautiful inside and out. The welcome basket was lovely and it was nice to know the owner was available if needed. The hot tub was divine and the robes were very handy. We didn't want for anything as the attention to detail throughout was perfect. It was comfortable and so quiet. We loved it and unusually for us, we plan to return asap. Thank you very much.

What a super property everything you could wish for was there. The welcome pack was superb. We went at christmas and the barn was beautifully festively decorated the hot tub was a welcome relaxing place.

Sharon

Gillian

The Dutch Barn was really lovely. It was in a quiet location with fabulous countryside views from every aspect. The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, very comfortable and was equipped with absolutely everything we needed and more. I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

The Barn offers fantastic accommodation which is very light and airy. The location is extremely quiet and The Barn was spotlessly clean as well as being very well equipped. It is well located for general shopping in Leominster as well as being halfway between Hereford and Ludlow which offer a variety of high quality dining experiences. It is without doubt an amazing area for top quality gardens open to the public which was the main reason for our visit. Ludlow Castle, Weston's Cider Tours and Mortimer Forest for walks were additional attractions for us. We very much hope to return soon as there are many more gardens still to visit especially towards Wales.

My second 7 day visit in 3 months, which should show just how impressive this place is. A few very pleasant and tranquil summery evenings, enjoyed with nothing but birdsong accompanyment, to go with the view of unspoilt classic British rolling countryside. As relaxing as you could ever ask for. You have Leominster 10 minutes down the road, so access to 3 supermarkets, and a full range of facilities on the high street, typical of a small British countryside type of town. So quick and easy to get to.

Jolene

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Dutch barn. It is beautifully decorated, well thoughtout and equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub is a great addition and enabled us to keep the boys busy on rainy days. The hot tub robes were also a nice touch. The accommodation is very comfortable with quality furnishings. The barn is on a working farm but we were not disturbed once. The owners live close by but respect your privacy but were equally very responsive and helpful if needed. We really enjoyed exploring the local area. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to castles and historic buildings. We particularly enjoyed Hereford Cathedral, the chain library and the Mappa Mundi are a must see. The cafe was also really good. Homemade quiches and fresh salads. We thoroughly enjoyed Ludlow castle a well preserved ruin which seems a bit of contradiction . We also paid a visit to Croft Castle which is more of a stately home and theres not as much to do there on a wet day but we did enjoy the tour of the house. Not as great in terms of value for money as Ludlow or Hereford cathedral. For something different and despite not being cider drinkers we did the Westons Cider factory tour which was fab. Surprisingly Family friendly too. Nice cafe there. Finally we went to Monkland Dairy. We didnt do the tour but the lady in the shop was lovely, let us sample their 6 cheeses and the cheese makers both came out and had a chat to our boys. They watched the machinery through a little viewing window . The cheeses are delicious! Great holiday, lovely setting and plenty of things to do.

Couldn't be happier, and can't wait to visit again preferably the sooner the better. A stunning residence in a stunning location in the best of British countryside. Absolutely loved it.

Tamana

Beautiful property, spotless, clean and very well equipped. The hot tub gave it that extra special touch. The owners have thought of everything and truly made it a home from home. Brilliant hosting from the owners, very friendly and hospitable. An all round lovely stay.

We have rented a lot of holiday properties over the years and the Dutch Barn is definitely one of the best. It's better than the pictues, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, has fabulous views, and great hosts thank you Jackie and Peter. It's not often we find a place we want to return to but in the case of the Dutch Barn we definitely will in the future.

We enjoyed a wonderful week in the Dutch Barn which offered a first rate destination. The conversation is amazing which combined with the comfort, cleanliness & facilities gives an opportunity to enjoy a carefree holiday of the highest standard. We loved every minute of our stay enjoying the views of the Herefordshire countryside & life on a working farm the hot tub giving time to soak away the stresses & the delightful September weather for our trips to the wealth of National Trust properties in the area, local cities, towns & villages. A holiday full of memories thanks to Jackie & Pete for sharing such a great home.

The Dutch Barn was perfect for our staycation. The photos dont prepare you for the fantastic feeling you get when you walk in. A perfect home from home with everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. We spent most evenings on the spacious balcony enjoying the peace and quiet. There are some great walks from the door, so you dont need to get in the car. Members of the local golf club were friendly and welcoming. The local pub was a short walk away and has a lovely beer garden. Jackie and Peter couldnt have done more to make our stay a perfect one. Thanks for the lovely welcome hamper and the beans! We enjoyed seeing them harvested and sharing the story and the beans when we returned home.

We enjoyed a lovely week at The Dutch Barn with friends. The accommodation was spotless with attention to detail and a fantastic welcome hamper. We were fortunate with the weather and enjoyed relaxing after a day's activities either in the hot tub, at the outdoor area or on the spacious balcony. The large doors open to create a great space with lots of light and fresh air. The hosts are lovely and we would recommend a trip here to relax and soak up the peace and quiet.

Graham

Without doubt a wonderful place to stay. The owners should be very proud of what they have created at The Dutch Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly recommend this property to others for a quiet and relaxing vacation. The owners provide a very warm welcome and have offered everything needed for a great time, our thanks to them and we will hope to be back sometime in the future. Thanks again, Christine & Graham.

Probably the best holiday property we have stayed in, from the location, the owners, the cleanliness, the quality of bedding, the added extras. All in all 11 out of 10!

Fabulous property, immaculately maintained, wonderful idyllic farm setting. Jackie property owner, is warm, friendly and helpful. A great place to get away, relax and unwind.

The Dutch Barn is the best by a very long way of very many holiday cottages we have stayed in, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Jackie is a wonderful host, attentive and informative and she presents the Dutch Barn beautifully. The area provides many interesting days out and some spectacular countryside. We loved it!

Rehima

The Dutch Barn was the perfect staycation! We had the most relaxing stay for a week. It was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The open plan lounge and kitchen have wonderful views overlooking the countryside. The sunrise and sunsets were picturesque. The beds were comfortable and convenient for access to the hot tub. Thanks to Jackie for being a wonderful, kind and helpful host. We are already planning another stay.

Excellently equipped cottage with every home comfort you could need. The host was welcoming and on hand if you needed anything whilst respecting your privacy. We had a wonderful stay and this venue deserves its 5 stars.

Nicola

This property has the wow factor. It is spotlessly clean, very welcoming, a home from home feeling. In a quiet and peaceful location with lovely, unobstructed views. The perfect staycation.

Fantastic property in idyllic setting with great facilities and plenty to seedo nearby. Very helpful and friendly owners.

Caroline

Beautiful barn with views from every window, immaculately clean and everything thought of. Lots to see and do in the local area, kept us busy for 2 weeks. Jackie and her family have created a wonderful retreat which is a credit to them.

Andrew

A lovely place to spend a week, the Dutch Barn had everything you need. Some great places to visit near by.

Christopher

The owners are clearly committed to providing excellent accomodation. We were delighted with our stay.

Vincent

Fantastic holiday property. Jackie & Peter couldn't have been any more helpful than they were. Perfect base for some great walks.

Imelda

The perfect place to stay for a weeks staycation especially as the weather wasnt too kind to us. The Dutch Barn definitely had the WOW factor. We had everything we needed in a perfect setting. We had a lovely hamper of local products, including a bottle of wine and apple juice waiting for us on arrival. Jackie was there at the end of the phone if we needed her and even offered to let us stay an extra night in order to avoid travelling home with Storm Eunice causing havoc throughout the south where we had to travel to. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful holiday spot. A fantastic view, super friendly host and a really lovely inside space. Not to mention the jacuzzi.
