Orchard Cottage

Perfectly Placed

Our lovely one-bedroom cottage, formerly the gardener’s cottage, sits among a collection of 17th century buildings which centre around Rodd Court, the Jacobean manor house where Sidney and Mary Nolan lived. There is space to paint or write and guests are free to wander the grounds and gardens and take in the tranquil location which first drew the Nolan's to live here.

Perfectly Positioned

From Orchard Cottage, guests can easily explore the local area and wider region, including the black and white villages of Herefordshire, the Black Mountains, Elan Valley and discover Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. Enjoy Herefordshire's excellent reputation for locally grown food and produce at one of the local farmer's markets or one of the many award-winning pubs and resturants.

Perfectly Proportioned

Orchard Cottage features one large double-bedroom with a king size bed, conservatory, country kitchen, generous living room with log burner, bathroom and separate shower room, boot room and utility area. There is designated parking adjacent to the cottage.

All rental income from the cottage supports the Trust’s creative and learning programmes and our work with young people and artists.

“Monumental landscape gave Sidney a great sense of awe… when he had his solitary moments overlooking the Hindwell Valley he felt something of that same sense of wonder. ”

Mary Nolan, 2009
