Coppett Hill, Goodrich, HR9

This delightful two-bedroom country cottage enjoys outstanding panoramic views of the South Herefordshire countryside and is located on this unique, community-protected hill, one of the most well-known features in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its lovely walks down to the River Wye.
