Granary Cottage is owned and managed by the Connor family, who have been visiting Herefordshire for around 30 years.

The exposure to the special Herefordshire air, and mud, has no doubt led to a love of outdoor activities by all the family. Be it road cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, fell running, canoeing, open water swimming (maybe not for Mum), or just a good long walk, there is something for everyone in the area and Dorstone is a great base.

Curling up with a good book in front of the fire is next on the much-loved activities list.

This blog is our place to share with you any local information we think might add a little something to your visit to the area – from our favourite cycle routes to local events to our preferred pubs.

We will endeavour to keep the information on here up-to-date – please do “Leave a reply” on the blog post if you spot a mistake or have any information that may be useful to others.
