Withyland Heights
Bed and Breakfast

Withyland Heights is a working dairy farm on the Gloucestershire / Herefordshire border and is home to a herd of 150 milking pedigree Holstein Friesian cows. The original farmhouse was built in the 1830's but has been more recently extended and is fully double glazed and centrally heated.

The double room (which is also a family room) has en suite facilities and spectacular views of May Hill, one of the highest points in Gloucestershire.

The two twin-bedded rooms are spacious and attractively furnished and both have wash hand basins and a shared bathroom with bath and shower. All the bedrooms have tea and coffee making facilities and radio clock alarms.

Downstairs there is a comfortable lounge / dining room with a colour television for guests to use during their stay. There, is a large lawn at the back of the house where children can play safely and guests are very welcome to look around the farm and watch the milking of the cows which happens three times daily.

There are many opportunities for walking in the area and there are several nearby pubs which supply good evening meals (samples of their menus are available at Withyland Heights).

Breakfast is served at a time to suit our guests and if you feel you can't do justice to a full farmhouse breakfast - sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomato and egg, then you can opt for a lighter one of either fruit, scrambled egg on toast, boiled egg, kippers, croissants or just toast and cereals. Special diets can be catered for if advanced notification is given.

The farm is about 4 miles from the small market town of Newent with its Victorian Museum, Crime Through Time Museum and National Birds of Prey Centre. Newent also boasts a newly landscaped lake area which is a particular attraction in the spring when all the wild daffodils are in bloom.

Ross on Wye (6 miles) and Gloucester (12 miles) are both easily accessible from Withyland Heights as are other tourist spots such as The Malverns, The Cotswolds, The Wye Valley, The Royal Forest of Dean and the many bustling market towns like Hereford, Ledbury and Tewkesbury.

If you want to break your journey, the farm is only 2 miles off exit 3 of the M50 and so is an ideal place to stop over or if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life then come and sample the peace and tranquillity of unspoilt Herefordshire countryside.
