Great house for a family gathering. Large, comfortable, great garden for rounders and football, lovley local walks. It feels very relaxed, yes some of the bathrooms are dated but the bedding was lovley and the space was excellent for 21 of us aged 8 months to 80.

As the description says this property is not super smart and has some slightly dated parts, but is absolutely fantastic for large groups. The living room, dining room and kitchen are big enough to actually have 18 in them (many properties we have been in might sleep 18 but then can feel very cramped), making it great for socialising and being together. The kitchen had everything we wanted to make meals and cook etc. Wonderful outdoor space and we loved the fact we could also have our own spacious bedrooms with really comfy beds. The hot tub was clean and big, and a hot with kids and adults alike. The contact was friendly and easy to get hold of. The local area is beautiful and very rural, great for walks. Overall a great property for big groups, we will likely be back!

We had a fabulous stay at the Sherriffs. The property has plenty of space, huge bedroom and everything you need for a family get together. Mel is the lovely Property Manager. She was very responsive and even provided a delicious bottle of sparkling wine from their vineyard and a beautiful hamper on our arrival. Wonderful!

We took all the white heron properties for a family wedding nearby and it could not have worked better. There was plenty of space for us all to get together and also space to do our own thing. We had 33 in all and were able to have wonderful meals together in the Colloquy. Mel and Jo were so helpful all along and made everything work like a dream! Cant thank you enough.

The Sherriffs was just perfect for a relaxing, mixed-age group, family holiday! This large and comfortable old farmhouse wrapped us all up in unfussy, period charm in it’s peaceful location amongst rolling hills, woodlands and mature hedgerows. The facilities were sufficient for our stay – whatever you do, please do not over-modernise this grand old place and lose it’s authenticity. We especially enjoyed games on the large, flat, front lawn and the simple joys of the countryside exploring the network of field paths that surrounded differing fruit crops and nature conservation areas. Thanks to Mel (Property Manager) for being communicative and responsive should anything be needed and Jo (Property Owner) for hosting a dynamic, informative and amusing farm tour in an enterprising and open style. Best of luck with the new vineyards and exciting e-bike tour!

Stayed at The Sherriffs Friday-Monday for my daughters hen weekend. The house is an amazing building, so many bedrooms, we just loved everything about it, used every single rooms for fun & games. Hot tub area was a big bonus & we even managed to have our cocktail making class outside. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch with included a bottle of sparkling wine made from the vineyard opposite. Perfect accommodation for large family holiday.

Lovely setting, nice house & well equipped. Great for what we needed as a university get-together with our young kids. Plenty of stuff to do nearby but equally lots of space to run around if you just wanted to stay at the house & grounds. We’ll likely be back!

Some of our party had stayed at Sherriffs before and are already booked to return in a couple of weeks for the Hay Festival. Clearly it works for us and is fair value.
Customer service cannot be faulted.

For a large family gathering we stayed at the Sherriff’s and the comfortable and lovely Lodge and Gardeners’
The Sherriff’s was perfectly equipped for lovely meals, a fabulous place for small boys to roam inside and out and a great place to relax and be together. Mel as ever was really responsive and kind. We cycled to Pembridge and elsewhere, we walked and ran, visited gardens, and all had a brilliant time. Thank you !!

A lovely stay. Beautiful house, plenty of room. Yes it could do with a little TLC but it adds character to the house. We would definitely stay again. Mel was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Adults and children all enjoyed playing hide and seek. The hot tub was a bonus.

This is our Family Christmas Venue, held before Christmas so that we can all be together, 17/18 of us. We have been coming here three years now, and we all think that this year was the best. The Sherriffs is a huge house with plenty of room for us all, and plenty of room for the youngsters to have the fun of sharing a room. They also really enjoy being in the hot tub. The dining room is big enough for us all round the table , the living room is big enough for us all to open presents ,play games and dance. The kitchen facilities are adequate for the chef and helpers. Mel kindly supplied us with two big warming trays which were so useful in keeping the vegetables hot for our Christmas dinner. The bedding is lovely white cotton and the bathrooms etc are all spotless. A definite improvement over the years. As we were leaving we were all talking about coming back ‘Same Time Next Year ‘ . A brilliant affordable venue for a family get together , and good communication and care from Mel.

We met for an early family Xmas. The house is perfectly configured, allowing us all to spend time in the huge, warm sitting room with the massive fireplace, playing games and just being together. The kitchen is well equipped, although pretty cold. The dishwasher didn't work, but we were fine with a rota of washing up and I believe they plan to install a new one. The heating didn't work in one part of the house, making it very cold and it was a bit of a lottery as to which rooms and bathrooms were warm and which weren't. It was minus four and snowed during our stay, so perhaps we tested the house under extreme conditions! The lovely long table in the dining room was perfect for our 'xmas' lunch. It's a shame the fire doesn't light in there, as that room was a bit chilly too. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery. Lots of space in the fridge, freezer and pantry. it's a fantastic house for hide and seek and the rooms just go on and on! The house isn't preciously decorated which meant the children could really enjoy themselves without the parents worrying about perfect furnishings or sticky fingers. We loved our stay and the crowning glory was the massive, fantastic Xmas tree that the hosts provided, covered in lights and decorations. it made our xmas celebrations magical. I would really recommend this house for any large gathering. Just bring warm jumpers :-)

We are a large family group with dogs.
The Sherriffs was perfect (we had stayed here for a hen weekend 13 years ago).The house is well equipped,my only small complaint was the bed was very low and because of a bad back was a bit of a problem).
Overall we were very happy and had a great weekend.The hot tub and the games room were a great add on.

There were 16 of us here for 10 days, for the second year running - and we loved it! Not only is the house and it’s setting full of charm and character, but nearby is the wonderful village of Pembridge and there are many fine places to eat and drink within easy reach, as well as breathtakingly beautiful gardens and houses to visit.

Wonderful house for a large group of family or friends
Lots of space indoors and outside
Peaceful surroundings yet easy to visit the local area
Perfect for a large group or family get together
Some aspects need a-bit of updating, especially the bathrooms, but that is reflected in the price and also lends itself to large party use
Lovely high quality bedding and property very clean
Staff responded quickly to replace an item not working

We visited for a family 40th and 70th birthday celebration. It was ideal for our family group of 8 Adults, 6 teenagers , 2 toddlers and a baby.
A fun house with everything you could want. Not pristine, but feels homely.
The Stag Inn is a lovely welcoming pub with terrific food ( not pub grub) well worth the 2.5ml walk on very quiet country roads.
Lots of things to see and do in the local area we would visit again.

Our family of 17 of mixed ages, enjoyed a lovely weekend break at the Sherriffs. A large country house, very relaxed and comfortable house with all you could need. Large rooms to mix together and large bedrooms and bathrooms. We celebrated our Ruby wedding anniversary in the dining room with Megan Lyke an out door caterers, we can highly recommend. Treasured memories made. Thank you so much for the hire.

Well located and a lovely old house. The space was comfortable and provided ample accommodation for our extended family. As you can expect from a property of this age the floors are rather uneven and there is a mismatch of styles as improvements are being made. We were warm, welcome and had a fantastic time. The grounds are great. The ground floor space suited us perfectly, the snug was great for the children to play games. The house is well equipped and had everything that we needed - even a ricer for the mash! I loved the kitchen with its big square table we were able to prepare food and still be social.

14 members of my family met at the Sherriffs. We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous, well equipped house. We ate together around the huge kitchen table and we all spent the evenings sitting on the cosy sofas in front of the log fire. The bedrooms were spotless and there were plenty of bathrooms to ensure there were no queues. We would love to go back again. Diolch yn fawr.

The setting for the Sherriffs is wonderful. The house itself is lovely and characterful. There is lots of space within each of the rooms and the table tennis table was a nice addition to keep kids occupied for a while. The grounds are beautiful especially having the blackcurrent fields right there. The beds were ok, but a little too soft for our liking. But overall we had a lovely stay.

The Sheriffs is a stunning property set in beautiful countryside. We were there to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. On the first night we had champagne in the hot tub and then a barbecue in the pretty garden - sitting at a long table.
There was plenty of room for our party of 14 with multiple reception rooms - the most stunning being a large lounge with three sofas surrounding a large inglenook fireplace. Four of the seven rooms had ensuites. Some of the bathrooms were a little tired and could do with an update. The kitchen was well equipped but could also do with a bit of an upgrade.
There are plenty of beautiful walks from the doorstep - the farm produces blackcurrants for Ribena and its own cassis as well as apples for Bulmer's Cider. Foodie Ludlow is about 20 minutes' drive and the cathedral city of Hereford is also within easy reach.

This was our third visit for our annual extended family reunion. The house is perfect for this. Lovely garden which children can play in and lots of things to entertain them. Lots of space in the house with good sized rooms and nice layout. Warm and cozy when it needs to be and bright and airy at other times. We will be back next year!

A group of us stayed at the Sherriffs for my sisters hen do, the house and surrounding area were beautiful, even better than the pictures on the website.
The hot tub room was a great addition as well.

The house is massive and perfect for groups of this size, the kitchen and dining areas are both equally great for hosting big groups and we had a great time.

Natasha was very helpful on our arrival and we were very grateful for our stay.

Everyone who attended said it was the best place they’ve ever stayed and would love to come back.

Lovely house in a great location. Many rooms offering safety and comfort to all.some chairs need DIY and the kitchen sink needs replacing also some window frames need filling and painting especially over the cellar area. This would bring the house up to the rest standard wise in the house.

What a beautiful property!

We've been looking for a place like this for a while, equidistant to us all and large enough for our ever expanding family.
We all had a brilliant stay at the Sherriffs, the only downside was that it seemed to end too soon. Another day or two would have been ideal. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and we really didn't do as much exploring as we could have done.

The only downside is that there were a few baking trays and pot lids missing as we had to do a massive Christmas dinner for the 17 of us. Aside from that it truly was excellent and enjoyed by all the family!

Thanks again.

We booked the Sheriffs almost 2 years ago to get all the family together to celebrate 2 significant birthdays. Recent events meant the visit was delayed and rather than a summer break we had an Autumn break. Since booking a Hot Tub has been installed, which was a big favourite with a lot of the group. The weather was not brilliant but this didn't stop us setting out for a short walk on the Saturday. The accommodation was perfect for our requirements and we all loved the old house and its location. We were able to seat 16 Adults and a small child round the dining room and the kitchen was perfect for preparing a buffet style lunch and breakfast. We used one of the listed caterers (Sarah) for the evening meal on the Saturday and the food was delivered on time and was excellent. The large lounge area with the big fireplace was ideal for us all to gather for the usual fun and games the family enjoy on these occassions.

We've stayed here before, so the beautifully set grand rooms and spaciousness was expected. We've enjoyed it in winter, but in September the gardens were even more of a treat too. Then there is the addition of an indoor (lockable from kids) hot tub at no extra charge. AND their communications and T&C updates as a response to the pandemic was first rate. We're very sad it's changing to being a 'whole week only' hire situation, as The Sherriffs has been our perfect home from home get-away for an annual long weekend get-together with an extended family that can no longer even pretend fit in any of our houses!

Had a fabulous time celebrating my 80th birthday with my family. The property was lovely and well equipped. The children loved all the open saps eyes and enjoyed all the wildlife, even saw a badger.
A big thank you to Natasha who came out straight away when we had a problem with the heating. Great time had by all. Would definitely recommend.

Our family stayed here for our wedding close by. We have viewed all properties a few years back, but since then refurbishments have been done for the better. They all fully enjoyed their stayed. Natasha and the team have been amazing as lots of dates were changed due to Covid and it was all perfect in the end. Thanks so much.

Had a fabulous time at The Sherriffs, boiler issues were a nightmare but other than that it was fab and they got somebody out every time to try and fix the issue.
Only downfall was cleanliness and a few little touches, could really do with being cleaned thoroughly, cobwebs and bugs everywhere and curtains having off in bedroom but appreciate it is a dated property. Would recommend and would def go back!

Reported to the site manager that the step down from Just the other side of the kitchen door should be marked. Fell heavily two trips to minor injuries with the help of friends, otherwise enjoyed the holiday

This was the most splendid stay for Halloween weekend. Just a bubble of 6 of us; but super comfortable, well (and we thought newly) decorated but relaxed and not too super chic so that we didn't feel that we could put our feet up properly and have the dog wander in and out. Everyone made us feel most welcome and the management did a fantastic job re putting us at our ease during the Covid restrictions. The welcome pack was full of local Herefordshire produce, including the wonderful Cassis that is produced on the estate from their own blackcurrants. I would love to come back with a larger group as it is the most lovely house for a houseparty; and in the winter too, we got the fire going and we were cosy warm. We didn't see any ghosts this time but we crunched round in the bushes and in the huge and mature garden (beautifully tended) where we scared each other with stupid noises. A great house for a party! Thank you Tash for being the most conscientious manager and to all your staff who do a brilliant job in making the place tidy and clean and smelling of roses.

The area is beautiful, full of great walks and comfy country pubs. Nothing is too much for Jo and her team.

We had a brilliant stay over bank holiday weekend, The owners were so accommodating and were able to help me with all queries. We were super impressed with the house and all of its facilities. The rooms were hugs and full of character.
Loved the huge garden and enjoyed all sitting out in the large table together for dinner,
My only negative is there was no hoover or anything to do much cleaning up with.
We will definitely be back!

After the uncertainty of the Covid 19 pandemic, we had a wonderful family weekend with 21 of us spending most of the time in the impressive grounds. Natasha was informative and helpful throughout the weeks before going and this continued throughout the stay. Thank you. The house itself was very big as were all the bedrooms, kitchen and living rooms. The Sherriffs is obviously old and meant careful supervision of youngsters on stairs, etc and some upgrade might suit some future customers, e.g more efficient showers. We think it would help future visitors if more resources were available such as tea towels, black bags, shampoo. Overall our time away was memorable and all 14 adults and 7 under 5s had a special time particularly us 2 grandparents.

The house is in a fabulous location, is large and comfortable and spotlessly clean, perfect for a large family gathering.
Given the size of the house, we had 14 in our party but could have easily taken 18 plus infants, along with the rental charge rate I feel that the house needs to have a few extra bits as standard, for example.
Large saucepans and frying pans so we could cook food ( veg or pasta) for the whole party in one pan, enough glasses for everyone, only 3 tea towels for a weekend, and only 5 dishwashing tablets was a little mean.
All light bulbs need to be checked that they still work,( we had over 8 not working) all rings on the hob to be in working order ( one was broken) and curtains could do with a little TLC
All in all these small points can be easily and quickly rectified leaving a large house in a fabulous location , spotlessly clean and perfect for a large family gathering.

Wonderfully spacious rooms in a lovely stately home with an open fire (we stayed in winter). The house was perfect for a family Christmas celebration.

The decor and beds were a little tired and the kitchen equipment was rather random (cheap old pans and very few serving implements but heaps of plates and wooden spoons). The bathrooms were clean and very spacious but old fashioned (our overseas guests were bemused by the hand-held showers)
The house was warm - important for winter and there was lots of wood for the fire.

Staff managing the booking were very helpful and charming; and we had a lovely package of goodies waiting for us when we arrived, including home made mince pies, local cheeses and cassis. Their recommendation of a pub for an evening meal was excellent.

The layout of the house was wonderful for a group of mainly adults of all ages. The living room was a great size and the dining room was very special.
There were lovely walks from the front door.

Some niggles considering the price we paid: only 1 toilet roll and a tiny cake of soap in each bathroom, which was odd. Likewise, we had to supply our own dishwasher tablets and garbage bags. And so few hooks for coats and towels. And a VHS player was a bit last century. And the lack of modern showers.

We booked the Sheriffs in October with white heron. We have never used this company before. I have to say what a great experience. The customer service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hamper when we arrived was perfect.
My parents are very fussy and they were in their element in the house. The kids loved the space and kept saying ‘this is the best...ever’. We will definitely be booking again!

The Sherriffs is an unbelievably beautiful house - the pictures on the website do not do it justice. Huge rooms, plenty of space for lots of people to mingle but also have some quiet time away from others. Step outside and all you can hear is birds tweeting. I wish we could stay there every weekend!

A splendid house in a wonderful location - very quiet. Lovely large rooms,very comfortable. A very enjoyable stay. Loved the gardens, particularly the spherical yew tree; a great garden for croquet. Well-equipped kitchen. Enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, a very attractive part of the country..

We stayed at The Sherriffs as a group of 15 girls for a hen party and it was absolutely PERFECT. We were blessed with incredible weather so were able to enjoy the beautiful garden to the max. The house itself is huge, with really great sized rooms so everyone was very comfortable. The kitchen is big; we had a private chef and staff in on one of the nights to cook a three course meal - their name is Rosettes and I cant recommend them highly enough. The kitchen was big enough to accommodate the caterers and features a table big enough for everyone to sit round for breakfast. The dining room is fab and has a HUGE table; more than enough room for 18 guests and really special place to have a dinner party in. The lounge is big with plenty of seating with big sofas and a gigantic fireplace; although the weather was so nice we didn't need to light it but would be amazing on chilly evenings.

Charlotte and the team at White Heron were brilliant throughout; prompt and friendly service and very accommodating - thank you!

The house is amazing with good facilities and there are plenty of things to do locally. It can be a bit hard to find, especially in the dark and it being so remote is it's only downside as you can't walk to any restaurants or pubs. But if you want a week away from civilisation to spend having a laugh with good friends then this place is perfect.

The staff are also very good and we were left a welcome basket with food that was well received by our group!

As a group of 17, ages ranging from 11 to 79, and three dogs (!), we had looked a long time for a suitable venue in which to celebrate a number of milestone birthdays. The Sherriffs proved to be perfect and Charlotte and the team at White Heron Properties could not have been more helpful from the moment we made the booking until the very end of our stay.

The house had the 'wow factor' from the moment we approached the door and the interior lived up to expectation too.

Rooms were spacious and beautifully furnished in keeping with history of the property. Most bedrooms were ensuite while two further rooms had washbasins - so no long queues for bathrooms! There was easily enough room for all of us to sit together comfortably in the lounge and, importantly, around the table in the dining room. The open fire with a ready supply of wood kept us cosy - although it is fair to say that the central heating was able to do that more than adequately. The large kitchen was well equipped. The enormous garden, table tennis room, supply of board games, satellite TV, WiFi and the quirky layout of the house provided endless amusement for the younger members of our party.

The location of the house is great for walking or exploring the towns and villages straddling the English-Welsh border.

If you are looking for the uniform polished marble and glass of a boutique appartment, the The Sherriffs may not be for you. This is a genuinely historic house with sloping floors, creaky floorboards, distorted panes of glass and it oozes the character which is to be expected in a period property and which, to our minds, made our stay at The Sherriffs all the more memorable.

The big sitting room and dining room have space for everyone to gather in comfort by the fire, or to feast.

We booked The SHERRIFFS for a hen weekend and it had ample space for people to be comfortable and to have large meals around the table which sits 18 people. Lots of glasses and plates to use too. We love having the fire in the lounge!

Charlotte was absolutely delightful and made check in and check out very easy. We also received a beautiful hamper with local goodies such as cheese and marmalade which was such a nice touch.

This may just be the bed I slept in (middle floor with the blue shower room), but the mattress was very soft which personally didn’t suit me very well. But that could be personable preference! All the rooms were very clean with nice sheets and towels!

The location was great for us because we stayed in the house and there’s land where you can go for lovely walks, we also did an activity at oaker wood leisure which was great. We didn’t venture into town, so could comments on other things to do, but it didn’t feel there was much going on outside of what we did as it’s fairly isolated/not walkable to many places.

Absolutely loved this place and would definitely book again!

11 members of our family stayed at the Sherriffs, travelling from Aberdeen, West Wales and Hampshire. Everyone was very impressed with how grand the house was and it was so convenient having lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house was warm and there was enough room for everyone to sit comfortably in the sitting room, and around the huge table in the dining room. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of crockery and cutlery and although we didn't do much cooking there seemed to be enough saucepans. The rural situation was perfect and much appreciated by our dog. The welcome hamper on arrival was much appreciated by the humans.
A burst main water pipe at midnight on Saturday caused us some problems, but the plumber arrived by 9.30 on the Sunday morning and effected a temporary repair which was the most we could have expected.
I would definitely recommend the Sherriffs for a large group who are looking for somewhere rural to stay.

A lovely, fascinating old house with lots of interesting features, perfect for a family weekend. Very roomy bedrooms and bathrooms, though people found one or two beds uncomfortable. The dining room was ideal for a big family meal, and the lounge with its massive fireplace was great for evenings together. The kitchen was well equipped; we enjoyed a meal provided by outside caterers. I felt the fridge would have been rather small if we had been staying any longer and had been cooking more meals for ourselves. The lawn and gardens were great for games of hide and seek, as was the inside of the house.

Our family party for an 80th Birthday was a happy event enhanced by the lovely setting of the Sherriffs. The house and garden provide comfort, privacy and a relaxed charm that was much enjoyed by all our guests. Its setting in the midst of beautiful countryside provided great walks as well as interesting visits to Hay on Wye, Old Radnor and Kington. Highly recommended!

I thought the house was just the right size me and my family, they just loved it. The grounds were exciting, great lawn for games and the surrounding wood full of adventure for my younger grandchildren.
I was very disappointed in the large amount of rubbish at the back of the house, all the bins were full with some rubbish overflowing in that area. Danger of rats etc came to mind.
The kitchen was great, however there appeared to be no tray/rack combination which would allow the grilling of food and no large drinking glasses.
Other than that the house was enjoyed by every member of my lovely family.

We had a wonderful weekend away with a large group of friends. The welcome pack was a nice surprise on arrival! The house was lovely and spacious - everyone could sit together in the same room and you aren't all piled on top of each other. The garden has a great lawn for sunbathing and kicking a ball around. We'd definitely go back again.

We had a fantastic weekend at The Sherriffs for a reunion. With families travelling from all over, the location was perfect - nobody had to travel too far. The kitchen, living room and dining room were a good size for everyone, although we spent most of the time outside enjoying the sunshine and the lovely grounds (deckchairs and croquet were well used). The beautiful welcome basket was much appreciated - especially the cassis, which makes a lovely Kir Royale. All in all a great place and we’re already planning a return visit.

We spent a long weekend in the property during May and enjoyed being in a very beautiful part of the world. The period house is clearly an expensive and large house to upkeep so the state of the house means that it has become tired; bathrooms and showers were starting to lose tiles, and the water pressure in the bathrooms is just about ok. The kitchen facilities are adequate and satisfactory but no more (for example we couldn't find any scissors). We were woken during the night by rainfall as the guttering outside our bedroom was leaking. There is also no drying facilities for clothing - beyond a tumble dryer - so as we were there on a wet weekend - all our coats were dangling all over the house trying to dry. It is a lovely house - with great bones - but quite a basic level of comfort - which one would not expect at the price charged.

Dear Kate, I am sorry your stay with us did not meet with your expectations. When I met your guests they seemed very pleased with the house. The house, I agree is a little tired but we have very recently been awarded another 4* from our Quality in Tourism inspection with a 80% overall rating. The kitchen is stocked with everything we think guests will need, I did check and there are scissors in the kitchen so I'm not sure where they were hiding. Had you contacted me during your stay I would have supplied you with some more. I am sorry the rain woke you in the night - during your stay we did have a terrific amount of rainfall so it really just overwhelmed and must have broken the guttering as it was not like this before you came. We are about to have a complete new boiler system put in during the summer, so hopefully this will make the difference with the water pressure. You mention drying facilities, had you contacted me I could have supplied you with a clothes airer or even got a clothes line put up inside for you, following your comments I have put a clothes airer in the house. For your stay with us you paid £68 per person per night, the price, however, is based on an occupancy of 18 so as you were a smaller group it did work out to be slightly more than the usual £41 per person per night which we feel for a Grade ll listed Queen Anne mansion is very good value. Our 5* gold property would be double that. Above everything we are really disappointed that you gave us such a low rating for our service and our cleanliness - Charlotte (the property manager) is conscientious beyond belief and is always on hand should she be required at the weekend and the cleaners were thrilled to get 100% satisfaction in the recent Quality in Tourism report. We take on board your comments and will do what we can to remedy - but as you point out for such a large and historic house, we have a constant updating programme and we keep on going with it. Thank you for your feed back.

A perfect place for a large group wth first class facilities.

This is the second time our group of 16 has stayed at the Sherriffs. We booked immediately after our first stay and we're just as impressed second time round. Spacious rooms, a wonderful garden, a brilliant location. Everything for a special occasion, in this case a friend's 60th. Special mention for the excellent bedrooms, gracious dining room and well stocked kitchen.

We stayed here for 3 nights with a group of 12 adults, 2 babies, a toddler and a dog. The layout of the accommodation was perfect for our group with a couple of rooms in the back extension, meaning quiet for the babies, and everyone having their own, large room.

The house is absolutely stunning and the large living room gave us a lovely space to relax in during the evenings and we ate our meals at the huge kitchen table. It's a very old and large property so has single glazing and some slopey floors etc. but it's been maintained beautifully and was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils and crockery we needed in our stay, and the welcome basket with a few essentials was very much appreciated.

During the weekend, we enjoyed a long walk along the Lyonshall Medieval Trail and an Easter Egg Hunt around the garden. We also played lots of table tennis and boules in the garden.

Overall, this was a fantastic stay. Charlotte, the property manager, was very helpful and friendly, and we would recommend this to any large group of friends or family looking for a remote, country getaway for a very reasonable price.

We gathered again at the Sherriffs with the satellite Field Cottage sleeping some of the family too.
We were warm, comfortable, able to spread out if we needed. The enormous kitchen and sitting rooms allowed us all to gather informally and we seated 22 around the big table in the dining room. The bedrooms are lovely and comfortable.
The kitchen is really well equipped and great for the many people producing different parts of the feast.
We cycled, ran, played games, played (toddler), walked over Hergest ridge, drank coffee in Prmbridge’s lovely cafe, read ...The welcome and service was excellent. We will return next year and repeat it again I’m sure..
Thank you

We stayed at the Sherriffs for a 40th birthday party for a week. It's a lovely house, very warm, with a great kitchen and lovely dining room that easily sat the whole party. Nice bedrooms, pretty grounds. A very friendly house, and it was suitable for both grown-ups and small children. Nice welcome basket. A random point, but there is a lovely pantry - so many of these large properties don't have sufficient storage space for food and drink.

Charlotte from White Heron Properties couldn't have been more helpful and kind. She really went above and beyond in accommodating our requests for the week.

A group of 13 adults stayed at the Sherrifs for our annual reunion for a weekend in January. Everyone loved the house, it is a great size and was in the most part, well equipped (could have done with a few more pint glasses). All the bedrooms were of a generous size. It was great that both the lounge and the dining room had plenty of room to seat us all and even had a large table in the kitchen that again could seat us all.

The only slight downside was that when we arrived on the Friday night the house was very cold but we had no issues once it had warmed up. The kitchen could have done with a few more pint glasses and a shame that some of the showers were hard to regulate.

15 friends (including 3 little ones) met for four days to celebrate my 70th birthday and we were all delighted with Sherriffs. Despite it being a cold November weekend, the house, including all the bedrooms, was really warm from the moment we walked in. The communal rooms are all a good size, welcoming and very pleasantly furnished and the kitchen well equipped. The grounds are lovely and we had some good walks in the area with my dogs. Many thanks to Charlotte, the manager, for providing us with excellent information in advance and looking after us on arrival. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sherriffs as a great home (as opposed to just a rented house) for a gathering of friends and family.

A large house with character with an easy going lived in appeal. The feature working fireplace is spectacular and the endless supply of seasoned wood was a real benefit. There is a good range of bedrooms, en-suites and bathrooms situated on the first and second floors.
The peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside all added to the memorable experience.

I stayed at The Sherriffs with 14 friends over the August Bank holiday weekend found it to be the ideal house for a party or large gathering. It's huge and well appointed: there's plenty of seating in the kitchen, dining room and main lounge space, plus lots of bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. We were self-catering all weekend and found everything we needed (although it could perhaps do with a second fridge for drinks) to prepare and eat food as a group, plus multiple BBQs for cooking alfresco.

Location-wise it's great. It's even more secluded than we had imagined, which is perfect for a large group wanting to play music (and SingStar) until the wee hours. The front lawn is gorgeous, and I'm only disappointed we didn't have longer to make use of it.

Customer service was spot-on as well. Our Tesco delivery arrived a good couple of hours earlier than scheduled, but it was received and all perishables safely stored in the fridge for us, which was much appreciated.

In the surrounding area we enjoyed an afternoon of canoeing from Hay-on-Way and a lovely lunch (followed by a beautiful walk) at the Riverside pub in Aymestrey. All in all, I'd definitely recommend staying at The Sherriffs.

16 family members stayed at Sherriffs for my Mum's 70th. It was ideal for our needs - very well equipped and clean. The outside areas and deck chairs provided a great setting for a BBQ and the paths mowed around the fields were a great idea for family walks. We appreciated our dog being allowed to visit, as did she. I would definitely recommend Sherriffs for a family party. Thanks to Sarah and Jo.

We enjoyed the space and style of house. Kitchen very well-equipped( except need extra tin-opener!). Showers a bit variable in temperature. Some bathrooms not ensuite. Gardens lovely and appreciated the shade in the hot weather. The bird-song at breakfast time was lovely. House a bit isolated--a long narrow drive and not really within walking distance of pubs, shops etc. Great house for a reunion . A bit on the expensive side compared to previous similar properties.

This wonderfully charming house set in the middle of nowhere was perfect for our school reunion. The house is huge, the layout is wonderful and the gardens are fantastic.

We had the most enjoyable time and wouldn't hesitate in staying again.

A excellent property in a extremly secluded location. The house and garden are beautiful and set within the middle of the countryside, which provides a extremly secluded location to completly switch off. The several bedrooms are all luxuroious and the entertaining space is perfect for large groups.
The property managers were extremly helpful providing suggestions of varies suppliers to make the stay one to remember.

I cannot speak too highly of this place. A great balance between retaining the house's original features and providing modern comforts. All the bedrooms were very spacious,as was the kitchen and dining room. Of particular note were the beatiful grounds and having two living rooms. Plenty of parking space. Ideal for trips to Ludlow, Hay and Hereford. Tremendous value,too.
Very highly recommended. We will return without a shadow of a doubt!

Highlights are clearly the Countryside, spacious grassed front garden with amble parking & the large kitchen.
Our enjoyment was somewhat watered down by the poor condition of the Springs in some mattress's & Lounge Settee's making them very uncomfortable to lay on/sit in.
The cleaning of Bedrooms & Floors seemed fine but cobwebs on numerous lampshades, 1-2 plug sockets not working & 2014 Brochures in the Literature rack show up the shortfall in the TLC that this property receives

We booked The Sherriffs for a party weekend for 16 people. The property was fantastic, rooms were spacious and comfortable and the facilities were as described.

The info and communication was excellent and we found the property without an issue. The location is good as there are no neighbours so you arent worried about waking anyone up but you can still explore the local areas easily enough.

The grounds around the property are amazing and i wish we had booked in summer so we could have enjoyed them more.

Overall we had a great weekend in a perfect venue. Would book again in a heartbeat

We hold an annual event which before we found The Sherriffs had been in different locations all over the country.
Since finding The Sherriffs we've never looked elsewhere. It is the perfect place for adults and children alike.
We've always stayed in the winter and been beautifully warm, enjoying log fires, frosty walks, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, soft big white towels and loved being able to make as much noise as we like knowing we are not disturbing anyone. I imagine staying in the summer would be even more glorious with the lovely gardens and enjoying being outside more.
White Heron Properties are organised and efficient and helpful. Supermarket and wine delivery services all deliver quite happily. And all the bedrooms are of similar standard so there are no fights that 'your bedrooms better than mine'.
We all love The Sherriffs and are already looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks for having us.

This is the second time we've visited so it must be good!

A large rambling country house which in our case was great for kids, and (since some bedrooms are in their own 'wing') great for adults who don't want to be disturbed by the kids. The bedrooms are large and very comfortable, with several en suite bathrooms, a good selection of cupboards and drawers and beautiful views over the countryside. There are 2 living rooms: the main one has a fire, with firewood provided. There's also a large formal dining room which gives a sense of occasion. Unlike some other properties we've been to, the kitchen is well-stocked with an array of pots, pans, casseroles and other equipment if you want to cook something ambitious for large numbers.

Though we didn't make much use of the garden in the winter, previously (in the summer) we used the magnificent lawn for tea parties.

Although the house is on its own, there are villages nearby with shops and Ludlow and Hay on Wye are both 30 mins away. The setting is ideal for a freeform holiday involving staying in, going for walks, and sight-seeing further afield.

With so many of us it can be difficult to find a house that suits everyone's needs (as a group we have an age range that covers 2-70yrs)- this property is a great house that suited everyone; in a superb location with ample space for all of us. A fabulous property for a weekend get together with friends/family- and situated perfectly, so no worry of disturbing anyone else. We will definitely be back!

We had a fabulous weekend staying at Sherriffs. The house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of space, a table large enough for us all to have dinner around. The added bonus of a huge table also in the kitchen where we could all meet for breakfast. The sofas in the lounge were so comfortable and, again, plenty of seating for us all. We would definitely recommend the house for a large gathering - perfect.
