Nestled in the tranquil Herefordshire countryside, just outside of the city of Hereford, lies Freds Shed, a gorgeous single-storey barn conversion perfect for a couple or two to escape to this picturesque part of the country. Named after the once feral cat who had taken refuge in the barn, Freds Shed is an idyllic base surrounded by green landscapes while being close to nearby attractions, you can see why over time Fred had become loving and tame, content to live a few paces away on the owners' grounds. Now refurbished into a wonderfully characterful dwelling, this barn conversion is sure to be a home away from home for your next holiday offering off-road parking and delightful views over the encompassing greenery. Stepping into the property, the open-plan living space invites you in after a long day of discovering the local area; kick off your shoes and settle in for the evening on the plush corner sofa while you catch up on your favourite programmes on the TV. The space is bursting with character, boasting original wooden beams throughout as well as a stylish décor which really elevates the feeling of a luxurious farmhouse escape. Moving through the property, the kitchen is home to all the appliances you need to assist you with your self-catering requirements such as an electric oven and hob, a microwave, and a handy washer/dryer to refresh your clothes. Whip up tasty feasts for the group to enjoy at the dining table while you catch up on the day's events, before retiring to the bedrooms for some well-earned rest. The first bedroom is home to a plush double bed, wooden feature walls and charming wooden shutters, creating a space for you to cosy up and rest your head ahead of another action-packed day of exploring. The second bedroom is located at the other end of the property, ideal for couples to escape to their sleeping quarters for some peace and quiet, here you will find another plush double bed as well as exposed brick and whitewashed walls, and a lovingly crafted name plate, rejuvenated from original materials found in the barn prior to its conversion. Guests will benefit from a bathroom, fit with a bath, shower over, basin and WC where you can freshen up ahead of your day, or soak in a bubble bath on return from a long walk in the countryside. Outside, there is a small seating area on the patio, accessed through a traditional barn door, so you can take your dining al fresco in the evenings. If you don't fancy cooking, head into the city of Hereford for a bite to eat; you will be spoilt for choice with the many eateries in the city centre, why not try La Madelaine for lunch and a coffee and cake stop, or perhaps give The Beefy Boys a try for rustic and hearty meals in the evenings. The area is home to a wealth of attractions for you to discover throughout your trip, including the Waterworks Museum and the Hereford Museum and Art Gallery; each host fascinating exhibitions focussing on the development of Hereford through the years on cultural and industrial levels. Nature lovers will enjoy a day at the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, home to tropical butterflies and exotic plants while being just walking distance from the magnificent Forest of Dean. There are a number of National Trust sites you can visit on your travels, notably Berrington Hall, a neoclassical mansion with stunning grounds and gardens surrounding it, and Croft Castle and Parkland, a picturesque castle encompassed by 1500 acres of woodland for you to discover. Brush up on your history while in this rich city; Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibitions are housed in the Hereford Cathedral which makes for a captivating day out for history buffs and tourists alike. Freds Shed is the ideal retreat for a relaxing holiday with your loved ones any time of year.

Reviews
Beautifully designed with care taken to ensure you have everything you need. Sarah and Paul make you feel very welcome and it is easy to feel at home and very relaxed. The accommodation has a well equipped kitchen dining area and comfortable living area, two beautiful bedrooms with very comfortable beds. They’re is a lovely seating area outside with an addition of a private paddock ideal if like us you are taking your dog. The Shed is perfectly located to explore the area with a lot of attractions only a short drive away.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Fred's Shed for a lovely long weekend in August. It is beautifully designed and the attention to detail, love and care put into this barn conversion is noticed throughout the property. Sarah and Paul, the owners were so welcoming and made us feel at home right away. Nothing is too much hassle and they're such lovely, friendly people. Both bedrooms are a good size with a spacious open plan living and kitchen area. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival and we were able to really relax whilst we stayed here. There is a generous secure paddock for doggies to have a run round in and our fox red Labrador loved staying here as much as we did! It is situated only a few miles from Hereford centre but also surrounded by lovely local walks, parks and places to visit. We will definitely be back again soon! Thankyou - 5 Stars!
Impressive, comfortable, clean barn conversion. 3 or 4 miles from Hereford on a quiet country lane. Has 2 nice sized double bedrooms, comfortable seating area with tv and a clean good sized bathroom. Outside good parking and a fairly large paddock. Great base for exploring the area. Highly recommended. Great hosts as well
