About Ambrey Cottage

Ambrey Cottage is a beautiful, spacious holiday home set over two floors in a stunning location surrounded by woodland. With no-one around to spoil the silence, the cottage is perfect for a peaceful break for up to five people and two dogs. 

Get everyone up bright and early and head out on one of the many walking trails that surround the area. Take in spectacular views and explore the 1500 acre Croft estate. Guests are also invited to visit the castle for free.

Further afield, visit the cathedral city of Hereford. Just 20 miles from the cottage, this historic city is a great place to find delicious local products – Hereford is famous for its cider and there are many producers around the county you can visit. It’s quite beautiful too with the River Wye meandering through its unspoilt countryside, and beguiling black and white villages nestling in between.
