  • Holiday homes in the peaceful Golden Valley, half hour from Hereford
  • Wildlife haven with 17 acres of woodland walks
  • Fenced-off picnic area outside and lounge with TV and DVD player
Head to Herefordshire’s Golden Valley for prime panoramas – the name says it all at Woodlands and Orchard View Holidays. Drop your bags off in the accommodation, then look out for birds as you stroll through the site’s peaceful grounds and into 17 acres of leafy woodland, catching the views of the Black Mountains during your travels. The nearby River Dore – known for its fishing – adds to the scenic setting, and rumour has it that the sunsets from the park are spectacular. When the sun’s gone down, settle in for cosy evenings in your well-equipped space – get the kettle on and line up a DVD to watch on the TV for a film night in the lounge. Planning a family hol? The kids and dogs are welcome at these holiday homes set in the private grounds of Pontypinna Farm, half an hour’s drive from Hereford, so feel free to bring the whole gang along. The fenced-off picnic area means it’s easier to keep an eye on furballs and tiddlers when they’re outdoors. The owners helpfully supply blankets, duvets, pillows, bed linen, towels and tea towels, so you can travel light (well, as light as you can with a dog and kids in tow…).

Woodlands View 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: The caravan had everything we needed, was clean, tidy and warm. It had extras one wouldn't expect, eg bed linen and towels, which was an added bonus! The owner was very friendly and helpful. Haven't rated wifi as we didn't use it and haven't rated child-friendliness as we don't have children.

Disliked: Nothing.

Orchard View 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Affordable and spacious space with all the facilities of a flat. The surroundings are lush and the farm not too noisy.

Disliked: Some of the furniture literally falls apart on touch ie little table in the lounge and one of wardrobe doors which is downright dangerous for you younger children. Don’t rely too much on internet speeds as they’re abysmal, just enough for light browsing but not fast enough for streaming. That’s to be expected for rural areas I suppose.

Disliked: Caravan old and tired

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Mr Samson, I was very sorry to see that you disliked Orchard View and called it old and tiried yes it is fairly old that is why I bought it as the old ones are so much stronger and attractive and are very popular in the Golden Valley where I bought it, in fact I friend of mine has one much older and the price per week is almost twice what I charge., We also decorate it regularly, and have renewed most of the curtains recently.,and supplied a new gas water heater, and cooker and fridge with small freezer in 2022. Please also note that I have several good reviews on Orchard View, I always keep it clean and it is good value for money . Good luck with your next holiday, I hope you will enjoy it and have better weather. Best wishes, from Mary Layton.

Brilliant caravan, in a great location.

Woodlands View 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: The accommodation is nicely set out, comfy beds, friendly and helpful owners, the location is very beautiful and peaceful, the amazing big tree that stands over the garden is stunning, the animals and wildlife everywhere you look, the sounds of the sheep, goats and cows is lovely. The cat that came to visit us every day we are all going to miss (lucky cat living there!) great for kids and couples, we enjoyed playing cricket on the field (we were very lucky with the weather all tho got quite hot at times so we had water pistol fights to cool down, The woodland walk is great which the cat would come on our walks for company which we loved :) we loved feeding the pigs and seeing the cows and calf’s and the bull (which my daughter described as the one with the perm) everything was brilliant! we can’t wait to come back again, what a treasure of a place.. :)

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Your first destinations when on a trip to this site? Dore Abbey (10 minutes’ drive) and Belmont Abbey (15 minutes) to meander around a couple of handsome religious buildings. Next, head to Arthur’s Stone (15 minutes), a Neolithic chambered tomb on a ridgeline with views of the Golden Valley, Herefordshire and the Wye valley below, then get to Grosmont Castle (20 minutes) for a gander at the Norman ruins. Wander to the riverside Weir Garden (20 minutes) before hauling yourself to Hay-on-Wye, one of the area’s best towns, to browse the second-hand bookshops in a sweet settlement known for its annual literary festival (25 minutes). The Waterworks Museum is another intriguing spot – mosey over here to swot up on the history of drinking water, then learn about manmade beverages at the Hereford Cider Museum (25 minutes). Towing the tiddlers along on trips? Set off for the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre to coo over the cute creatures (half an hour) and organise an expedition to Clearwell Caves (50 minutes), a natural subterranean system that’s been mined for 4,500 years.
