Leominster Guide
Leominster's cottages with hot tubs offer a brilliant base for exploring Herefordshire's stunning countryside. This historic market town dates back to the 7th century and sits in prime walking territory near the Welsh border.
According to TripAdvisor, top attractions include Hampton Court Castle (not the London one!), Berrington Hall and the quirky Cider Museum. The town's black and white timber buildings create a proper old English feel without being touristy.
Leominster has an odd claim to fame - it was where the notorious serial killer Fred West worked as an ice cream van driver in the 1960s before his horrific crimes were discovered.
Cottages here range from cosy one-bedroom retreats to large group properties sleeping 12+. Many feature private hot tubs in secluded gardens, perfect for stargazing with a glass of local cider after a day's walking.

Sightseeing
Leominster packs a punch for a small town. The Priory Church (Church St, HR6 8NH) houses the last ducking stool used in England - they dunked a woman called Jenny Pipes in 1809! It's open daily 9am-5pm and free to visit.
Hampton Court Castle (HR6 0PN) is a medieval castle with gorgeous gardens. Not to be confused with Henry VIII's London pad, this one predates it by 80 years. TripAdvisor gives it 4.5/5 from over 800 reviews. Open April-September, 10am-5pm, £13.50 adults.
Berrington Hall (HR6 0DW) is a National Trust neo-classical mansion with landscaped grounds by Capability Brown. TripAdvisor score: 4/5 from 1,100+ reviews. Open daily 10am-4pm, £14 adults.
The Black and White Village Trail takes you through picturesque villages like Dilwyn and Weobley. I'd recommend doing this by car as it's about 40 miles total. Download the free trail map from the tourist office (Corn Square, HR6 8LR).
Pet Friendly
Dogs will love Leominster! The town has loads of walks right from your cottage door. Queenswood Country Park (HR6 0PY) has 123 acres of ancient woodland with marked trails. Dogs can run off-lead in most areas.
The Riverside Inn (HR6 8JZ) welcomes dogs in the bar area and garden. They even keep treats behind the bar! Their Sunday roast is brilliant after a morning walk.
Pensons (WR15 8RT) is a Michelin-starred restaurant that allows well-behaved dogs in their bar area. Bit posh but worth it for a special meal.
Most cottages with hot tubs in Leominster accept pets, but always check if there are restrictions about dogs using outdoor areas where the hot tub is located. Some owners provide dog beds, bowls and even treats.

One room recreates a Victorian classroom where kids can dress up and use slate boards. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-4pm, £3 adults.
Croft Castle (HR6 9PW) is a proper castle with a 1500-acre estate. The walled garden has 300-year-old apple trees and the park has ancient trees that are over 1000 years old! Inside the castle, the Gothic dining room is amazing. TripAdvisor score: 4.5/5 from 950+ reviews. One visitor wrote: "The woodland walk was magical - we saw deer and the biggest oak tree I've ever seen." Open daily 10am-5pm, £15 adults.
