Lucy and Alan feel lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the Country and wanted to share this with their guests. Alan was previously a retained firefighter at the Peterchurch Fire Station. Lucy is a self-employed bookkeeper, working with local farms. They have two grown up children, who have remained at home, not wishing to leave the area. Their son works on the farm and shears sheep for other farmers in the summer, and their daughter, Ellie, works as an agricultural journalist.
The farm keeps cattle, sheep, horses and chickens and the family also grow a small acreage of corn to feed the animals in the winter months.
Wildlife & the environment
Owls, hares, buzzards and foxes are regularly seen when travelling across the field to the cabin. Oak, Ash, Lime, Birch, Horse Chestnut, Hawthorn and Bramble can be found either within or on the boundary of the site. The local Young Farmers Club often complete a stretch of hedge-laying on the farm. This preserves the hedge, making it stronger to keep livestock in the field.
At Kerry’s Gate Cabin, the deck faces out on a huge expanse of open space, with the horizon fringed in woodland. It’s here, with this view, and the sunset splaying dappled light over you, you’ll lie back on the loungers and toast to a stay well picked.
With the dulcet sounds of the working farm all around you, you’d never realise you’re a 26-minute drive to foodie Hereford or 20-minutes to Hay-on-Wye for book heaven. Or with all the soft rolling hills good for strolls, it’s just half hour to the summit of Crib Y Garth (The Cat’s Back) and just an hour to The Black Mountains.
This solar powered pocket of calm amongst the trees has a spacious interior and ample kitchen, in case you want to go foraging in hedgerows for ingredients (or just the bougie kind, at the local farm shops). There’s also a firepit BBQ, if you prefer your fare a little wilder.
This is exactly the spot to slow down and take it easy. There’s wifi, but you’re better off reading a book on the sofa with an incredible backdrop or peacefully piecing a jigsaw together. When night comes, either use the telescope on deck to admire the stars or use your own sleepy gaze from the outdoor copper bath.
Guests receive a generous welcome hamper from the owner, which typically includes:
Free-range eggs
Homemade cakes
Two Farmers crisps
Local apple juice or cider
