I’m Marcus, husband to Maria and father to two little daughters. We are a plant-based family. I am also a storyteller, and we have an ever growing chemical free, regenerative and no-dig vegetable garden - where we try to source as much home grow food as we can. We run a 10 acre nature restoration project, Rock Meadow, which you will have the benefit of when you stay with us.

Getting around the area
Rock Cottage is nestled in the rolling hills and gentle valleys of rural Herefordshire, a peaceful hideaway we’re lucky to call home. Just next to the cottage is our 10-acre rewilding and nature restoration project — a patchwork of newly planted native woodland, wildflower meadows, and a clear, babbling brook that you’re welcome to wander beside or dip your toes in. Our meadow also backs onto ancient woodland, and from the top of the field you get breathtaking views across the Black Mountains and incredible sunsets. We’re about 30 minutes from Hay-on-Wye, the beloved “Town of Books” and host of the world-famous Hay Literature Festival. Abergavenny and Hereford are also close by, and we’d be delighted to share our favourite veggie and vegan cafés and restaurants with you.

About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About

The room adjoins a charming sitting room with a well-stocked library, where you can relax by the wood burner and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere
The space
Your living quarters consist of a double bedroom with a private access, looking out through french windows onto your own private patio. Adjoining your bedroom is a well-stocked library with a 60s vintage desk, a comfy sofa, wood burning stove, and a record player, and a small bathroom with a shower. Whilst staying you will have free range over the 2 acre garden, apple orchard and 10 acre rewinding and nature restoration project.
The kitchen
The outdoor communal kitchen has everything you need for cooking simple meals. There is a gas hob, fridge, pots, pans, plates, cutlery - all the essentials.
Other things to note
Rock Cottage is in a very rural location with no public transport- so your own car is a must. The closest shop is 4 miles away, Hopes of Longtown and Ewyas Harold Village shop - so please bare this in mind.
