If you are searching for a place where time slows down, views stretch for miles, and your dog is as welcome as you are, Camp Cottage in Brockhampton is one of those rare finds that quietly stays with you long after you leave.
Tucked high on a hill between Hereford and Ross-on-Wye, Camp Cottage sits beside an ancient Roman and Stone Age camp, looking out across the Wye Valley and deep into Wales. It is peaceful in the truest sense of the word. No traffic noise. No neighbours close by. Just fields, sky, birds and the occasional sheep reminding you that you really are away from it all.
If you are curious about what makes the cottage special before you arrive, you can explore the full list of amenities at Camp Cottage to get a feel for how well equipped and comfortable it really is.
A True Couples Retreat in there heart of Herefordshire
Camp Cottage is designed specifically for two people to relax properly. It feels spacious without losing its cosy charm, and it is ideal for couples looking to reconnect away from the noise of everyday life.
Inside, original stonework and exposed beams give the cottage warmth and character. The dining area welcomes you in with a comfy sofa, a French stove and space to linger over meals. To one side, the light filled former artist’s studio offers stunning views across the valley, making it the perfect spot for slow mornings, reading afternoons or quiet evenings watching the landscape change.
Upstairs, the bedroom is calm and comfortable, with countryside views and everything you need for a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom features a large walk in shower and yet more views of the garden, reinforcing that sense of being surrounded by nature.
This is the kind of place where couples naturally fall into an easier rhythm. Long conversations. Early nights. Late breakfasts. No rush.
Genuinely Dog Friendly, Not Just Dog Tolerant
Many places describe themselves as dog friendly, but Camp Cottage genuinely welcomes dogs as part of the experience.
The large, fenced garden allows dogs to roam safely while you relax nearby. There are footpaths straight from the cottage, meaning walks begin the moment you step outside. No car needed. No planning required.
The surrounding area offers an abundance of walking routes, from gentle valley strolls to longer countryside rambles. The nearby River Wye is perfect for scenic walks and is especially popular with anglers.
If you are planning walks, pub stops or local adventures with your dog, the dog friendly ideas section is a great place to start.
The Brockhampton and Herefordshire Way of Life
Herefordshire has a unique ability to calm you without trying too hard. The landscapes are gentle, green and open, perfect for walking, thinking and unwinding. Market towns, independent shops and historic churches are scattered throughout the area, offering plenty to explore at an unhurried pace.
Camp Cottage is well positioned for exploring both Hereford and Ross on Wye, yet feels completely removed once you return. Many guests enjoy a morning outing followed by an afternoon back at the cottage, enjoying the views, the garden or the warmth of the stove.
Despite feeling wonderfully remote, Camp Cottage is around three hours by car from London, making it surprisingly accessible for a proper countryside escape.
Space to Breathe, All Year Round
Camp Cottage is available for rental all year, and each season brings its own charm.
In warmer months, the garden becomes a sun trap, perfect for reading, barbecuing and evenings around the large marble patio table. In autumn and winter, lighting the French stove transforms the cottage into a cosy retreat, where the silence outside feels almost luxurious.
With the nearest dwelling around 400 yards away, peace and privacy are guaranteed. Guests often comment that they truly relax here in a way they have not experienced elsewhere.

A Place People Come Back To Year After Year
What sets Camp Cottage apart is how often people return. Couples who first came looking for a quiet break make it a regular part of their year. Dogs settle quickly, enjoying the freedom and calm just as much as their owners.
Camp Cottage offers comfort, character and calm rather than distraction. It is not about ticking boxes. It is about space, time and feeling at home in the countryside.
If you are ready to plan your stay, you can check availability and booking details or get in touch directly with any questions before booking.
