The Hop Kilns

Welcome to The Hop Kilns

We are fourth generation farmers who have spent two and a half years renovating The Hop Kilns on our family farm in Herefordshire to be a place where families and friends can come together, slow down and enjoy a little slice of countryside life, and we can't wait to host you!

A Home for All Generations

We’re a family-friendly holiday home with plenty of games, books and space for little ones to play. If you need a travel cot (or three) or a highchair, just let us know — we’re always happy to help make packing that little bit easier.

The property is fully accessible, with ramped access, extra-wide doorways and a ground floor en-suite bedroom. A shower chair and grab rail are also available on request to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at home.

Flexible & Comfortable Sleeping

The Hop Kilns comfortably sleeps 9 guests, with space for up to 12 if sofa beds are used and guests are happy to share.

• Our four large bedrooms can be made up as king-size or twin beds to suit you

• Bedroom 5 is a small adjoining room to Bedroom 4 with a cosy single day bed, which can also be made into a king-size bed (though space becomes a little snug!)

• Bedroom 2 (Fuggles) has a small double sofa bed

• A small double clic-clac sofa bed can also be set up in the snug (creating a sixth bedroom), or in Bedrooms 1 or 4.

• Please note that our guest numbers do not include babies under 2 (as long as they do not require a bed*), so please do not put them into your booking numbers on here unless you have less than 12 guests or they require a bed*. *This does not include our complimentary travel cots that can be requested following your booking.

There are four en-suite bathrooms plus a downstairs WC, so there’s plenty of space for everyone to get ready without queuing!

Relaxed Living Spaces

Downstairs you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen and utility room with tea, coffee and all those little essentials that truly make your stay here with us a home away from home.

The main lounge seats nine and has a Smart TV with a a variety of streaming services for cosy evenings together. Tucked away in the round kiln is our snug — complete with comfy armchairs, a second Smart TV and a Wii console — perfect for children (or competitive adults!).

Safe Outdoor Space

The enclosed garden and parking area provide a secure space for children and dogs to run around and burn off some energy while you enjoy the fresh Herefordshire air.

Dogs Are Part of the Family

We absolutely love dogs and are delighted to welcome up to four well-behaved dogs (£25 per dog). If you’d like to bring more, just get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.

Optional Extras

To keep our base price as fair as possible, a few added extras are available if you’d like them:

• Hot Tub: £100 per stay + £25 per day

• Gas BBQ: Free April–September (£25 outside of these months)

• EV Charger: Usage billed after your stay

• Additional guests (beyond 9): £75 per person per night

• Sofa beds: £50 per bed per stay (where there are 9 guests or fewer)

Arriving & Staying With Us

If we’re around, we love to pop by and say hello when you arrive — but if you’d prefer to settle in quietly, there’s a lockbox for easy self check-in.

We’re always just a call or message away before or during your stay, so please do not hesitate to get in touch, as we want to make your stay as perfect as possible!

A Gentle Note About Farm Life

The Hop Kilns sits on our working farm, so you’ll see and hear farm life all around you — cattle, chickens, tractors and all the  sights, sounds and smells that come with it! We are definitely not the place for you if you want a pristine property with not a cobweb in sight and local attractions and amenities on the doorstep. But if you want dark starry skies, the sound of owls at night and endless countryside walks with gorgeous little market towns within easy reach, then we might just be exactly what you are looking for! 

For your safety The Hop Kilns has its own private gated access and there is strictly no access to the farm. We do, however, absolutely love to give farm tours, so please do get in touch during your stay and we'll do our utmost to find a mutually convenient time to show you around the farm.

We can’t wait to welcome you to The Hop Kilns and share our little slice of heaven in Herefordshire with you!
