Slow down to live well

In a world that often celebrates hustle, we believe there’s beauty (and longevity) in slowing down. Whether it’s a morning coffee with no rush, a mindful walk through the orchard, or simply listening to the birdsong, the smallest pauses can have the biggest impact.

At White House Cottages, we’ve created a space where you can live a little slower - just for a weekend or as often as you need.

Here are 5 simple ways to live more slowly (all possible during your stay):
🌿Spend more time in nature
🌿Try something new
🌿Have screen free moments
🌿Prioritise sleep
🌿Spend time with loved ones

Come stay, switch off, and reconnect – with yourself, nature, and what really matters.

Our very own Escape to the Country

It’s been three years since we first set foot at White House Cottages. Back then, we stayed in the cosy Welsh Cottage and began to fall in love with this beautiful corner of Herefordshire – the very place we now call home.

Last week, BBC’s featured – a favourite local gem – and it had us reflecting on our own journey to rural life.

Since moving, we’ve become part of a welcoming community and feel lucky to be sharing it with others as ambassadors.

It’s even more special when we see our guests also following in our footsteps:
🏠 Chris and Lisa first stayed in Welsh Cottage in April. They came back to the Hop Store weeks later – having sold their home – with a full list of house viewings. We were thrilled to hear they’ve had an offer accepted on a house in a nearby village!
🏠 Caroline and Peter stayed with us a few times and are now house-hunting around Ledbury. While they wait for the right home, they’re enjoying more time in their favourite cottage, Kiln.

It’s no surprise Escape to the Country featured Herefordshire — our own move here has been an experience like no other. Come and see why Herefordshire is so easy to fall for and book your stay with us today!

A slightly belated 'Dogs of the Month' 🐾

To round off May and welcome June, it’s time for our tail-wagging round-up of our recent four-legged guests! 

As we've seen some warmer weather, we've loved welcoming pups of all shapes and sizes to White House Cottages – each one adding a little extra joy (and the occasional muddy pawprint) to our days.

With four of our five cottages being dog-friendly, we believe holidays are better when shared – especially with your best friend by your side. From fields to snuffle through to cosy corners to curl up in, we’ve thought of everything to make their stay as special as yours.

As spring draws to a close, we’ve been soaking up the slower days and the first warm rays of sunshine here in Herefordshire. From cider orchard rambles to quiet cups of coffee, it’s been a season full of soft moments and fresh starts.

We’ve had the joy of welcoming guests celebrating special moments – and others simply pressing pause. Whether it was a milestone trip or a midweek reset, each stay felt like a reminder of how good it is to reconnect with nature, loved ones, and ourselves.

As we turn towards summer, we’re getting ready to do it all again – with longer days, starlit nights, and plenty of exciting activities, festivals and events happening across the Three Counties.

We’ve got limited availability left for summer – so if you’re dreaming of a countryside escape, now’s the time to book your stay.

It’s that time of the month when we celebrate our favourite four-legged guests! 🐾

As we’ve welcomed in Spring, we’ve also welcomed lots of lovely dogs—big and small—ready for countryside adventures, warm showers in the Woofer Wash, and cosy cuddles by the fire. 

With four out of our five cottages being pet-friendly, we know just how important it is to treat your furry friend to a holiday they’ll love as much as you do. We go the extra mile to make sure all our guests (two-legged or four) have the best time.

When you live among nature, it feels natural to make small choices that care for it. From refillable hand soap to compostable sponges and gentler cleaning products, we’ve built those choices into your stay too.

So when a fresh bundle of goodies from landed on our doorstep last week, we were pretty chuffed! Our Directors of Barketing, Poppy & Miso, gave an official paws-up to the dog shampoo too.

With our Sustonica validation across all five cottages, you can relax knowing your stay supports a more sustainable way to travel.

Swipe through to see what that looks like — and if you're dreaming of an eco-friendly escape, you know where to find us. 🌿
