Freds Shed

From the moment we arrived at ‘Fred’s Shed’ , we felt immediately so happy and comfortable.

The initial welcome from our hosts, Sarah and Paul, was so genuine and caring, plus the unique accommodation made us feel we had actually found utopia!! We cannot praise highly enough the care and skill taken in the design of Fred’s Shed. Nor can we say a high enough thank you to our hosts, for their care that everything was to our satisfaction, simply because they wanted us to have the absolute best holiday possible. We chose by coincidence the week the heatwave affected the whole country, so there are so many places a little further afield, we altered our plans to stay a little closer to ‘Fred’s’! This means we will definitely need, no - actually will be returning as the position of the accommodation is perfect. Herefordshire is so beautiful. Cannot recommend Fred’s Shed highly enough. Nor can we recommend the care, but no intrusion, afforded to us from our amazing hosts! Cannot recommend highly enough.

A very warm welcome.

Impressed with the initial presentation and cleanliness. An eclectic collection of cookware and utensils. Failing display on microwave caused some difficulty. Guide to property invited us to join Wi-Fi, but this facility disappeared after two days. Bathroom allowed all guests an intimate sharing of its occupants doings. Fast drivers using road passing property. Local footpaths badly maintained. However, a lovely area to explore, with some great places to visit.

Absolutely superb property so clean and even better than the listing and photos on the Sykes website.

We were made to feel so welcome and our dog really enjoyed running around in the paddock which is part of the property. Overall a wonderful property which has been renovated to an extremely high standard by the owners. We can’t praise it highly enough.

We had a lovely time at Fred's shed, it was so clean comfy and everything you need, the pictures don't do it justice the attention to detail is amazing.

Paul and Sarah where so welcoming, we felt so at home. Only downside was we had to come home. Will definitely return

We stayed for the Three Choirs Festival and could not have been happier.

Lovely welcome and although Fred was missing his Shed was great.

What a great place!

Tastefully and carefully decorated, so comfortable and with such welcoming hosts. Lovely quiet location, plenty to see and do in the area. We had an excellent week there and will be returning.

We have just returned from our second stay at Fred’s.

It is the perfect place to stay. Spotlessly clean, beautifully set out, great paddock for our dog, lovely walks, easy drive into Hereford. Sarah and Paul are so welcoming, they are the perfect hosts. Thank you for the fizz, homemade bread and fresh beans. We will definitely be back.

Excellent hosts and a wonderful place to stay, location was ideal for exploring the Herefordshire and the Wye Valley.

Fred’s Shed had everything we needed for our stay and was brilliant for our dog with small fully enclosed paddock next to the accommodation.

We had been looking forward to visiting Fred’s Shed, we fell in love with the story, and it exceeded all of our expectations.

Super clean and comfortable with a great play area (paddock) which our dog loved. Lovely local walks and great places to visit. Fizz in the fridge and freshly, home baked bread delivered by the lovely Sarah. Sarah and Paul went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Don’t think about it, book it, we will definitely be returning.

This is our second visit to Fred's Shed in nine months.

We had a week in September, loved it so much that we booked again before we left, for two weeks. This time was even better, the owners were there to meet us, with a loaf of bread, and a bottle of prosecco, now to unwind and relax. You soon feel like you are at home, plenty of cupboard space for your clothes. The kitchen is well equipped, if you would like to cook. Also a selection of cookery books. A lovely cozy lounge area, were you can sit and watch the birds, along with listening to all the different calls. A television is there to entertain everyone. Outside an area to sit and enjoy the piece and quiet, a nice enclosed paddock, which our dog loved to go and do his morning roll. Fred's Shed is very near to plenty of places to visit, for fun, shopping, and culture, along with lots of lovely gardens, and woods for more fun. Also cafes and pubs to eat at. Farm shops with lots of local produce to enjoy. We cannot recommend Fred's Shed highly enough. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

We had the best time at Fred's Shed.

It was so peaceful and comfy. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our children and dog loved running around in the secure paddock, whilst we sat in the sunshine on the patio furniture. The area was so lovely to explore, footpaths and a pub within walking distance. Further afield we can recommend the Oak Inn at Staplow and Eastnor Castle. Symonds Yat with the hand pulled ferry was also a highlight. We will absolutely be back to Fred's Shed.

Warm welcome by Sarahyane and Paul.

We felt very welcome. they showed us around at Fred’s Shed. It’s a great place to stay. Peaceful surroundings. Excellent place to visit the several nearbye heritage sites. Also a list of restaurants and sites was availible.

My stay st freds shed lovely it had every thing there that you needed including a lovely play area for the dogs we will return

Fred shed is just like the photos.

. its beautiful..lovely original features.. lovely and warm with underfloor heating..as we stayed for Christmas and was decorated lovely!! Very comfy beds. Had a very warm welcome from the lovely owner Sarah and Paul.. and the gifts of freshly baked bread mincepies and prosecco..was a lovely touch...nice pub at the top of the lane was a bonus! anyone looking to stay..you wont be disappointed thank you for our lovely stay.!!

The owners were lovely, and the barn is such a happy little place to stay in.

We had a great stay in Fred's shed.

It is a wonderful barn conversion renovated by the owners and was very tastefully designed. It was very cosy with underfloor heating throughout and with everything that you needed for a holiday home. The owners were very welcoming and the information folder had wonderful recommendations for places to eat and visit. We had a very relaxing week in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.

Fred's Shed was utterly comfortable, is simply THE BUSINESS - how can anyone NOT want to return!

And the owners? They live on part of the site, baked us bread, understood our love of alcohol so left us a bottle of Prosecco and were just there to make sure we enjoyed every minute of our stay,

Fred's Shed is amazing.

The details inside the property are very cleverly done,to keep it in character with the type of property. You have everything you need for your holiday, it's like being at home, and you do feel that. The property is spacious, but still hugs you.

Fantastic big enclosed garden for our dog and kids to play.

Easy access to Hereford and surrounding. Lovely property, easy to cook for family of 4, everything you could need. Highlight being fabulous hosts who are super friendly and helpful.

Felt at home the minute we arrived at the property I think good hosts can make or break a stay and this one I did not want to leave We will be back

What a wonderful place.

Not only was the property spotless clean with every amenity, and in a wonderful, peaceful location, but we were welcomed with fresh bread and Prosecco! The best bit for me though was the big garden area for my dog. It's huge and she was able to spend lots of time outdoors in this safe, enclosed area, which she loved. I would thoroughly recommend Fred's Shed and will return because the property owners, Sarah and Paul, made us all feel so comfortable there.

very friendly owners good base for touring

Another great stay at Fred's Shed, brilliant welcome and our holiday was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable, the property is fantastic and Bella the spaniel loved the paddock , highly recommended place to holiday

Fred’s Shed is a perfectly spaced out holiday cottage in the beautiful countryside of Herefordshire just approximately six miles from Hereford.

Paul and Sarah Jane were perfect hosts and beautifully designed Fred’s Shed to make a comfortable home from home with everything you need to make it a perfect holiday. There are two double bedrooms one at each end of the cottage with the bathroom and living space in between with an open plan kitchen and living room. Outside there is a lovely gravelled area to sit and enjoy a glass of you favourite beverage and there’s a fenced grass space if you take your dog along. Paul and Sarah Jane left us a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and a loaf of freshly baked bread a perfect way to start our holiday.

Wow, what a property.

Fred’s Shed is absolutely lovely and the story of its conversion is amazing. Beautifully appointed and equipped and very comfortable with a large private paddock for our aging poodle. Warm welcome from Paul and Sarah-Jayne complete with lovely freshly made bread and Prosecco with lots of tips and suggestions for local pubs and visitor attractions. We had a wonderful time discovering this beautiful part of the country and we’ll definitely be back to see more as we feel we’ve only scratched the surface. Thoroughly recommended by Chris, Jane & Bella

We had a wonderful time, the cottage was absolutely first class, very cosy and home from home.

Would definitely recommend going to Fred’s shed you will not be disappointed. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. What more could you ask for. Well situated for visiting the surrounding areas. Thank you both for welcoming us to your cottage. Regards Margaret,Celia and Tilly x

Fabulous home from home.

Quaint and cozy. Central to explore Welcoming hosts Dog friendly Would definitely recommend

The conversion of this property has been done so well.

It was the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Great hosts that were very friendly and helpful.

Really loved Fred's shed, lovely welcome even when we were later in arriving.

Would definitely stay again

The owners could not have been more welcoming and accommodating.

Very dog friendly and our two dogs really enjoyed being there. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and all in all it is a lovely place to relax and unwind. Would definitely go back again in the future.

Fred's Shed was exactly as described.

A haven of peaceful rest. Glorious countryside. Plenty of interesting places to visit - many within a 10 mile radius of the property. We wish we had taken our bikes! The welcome from the owners was so friendly. The smell of fresh baked bread on the side with flowers from the garden on the table and then a bottle of fizz in the fridge. What more could anyone ask! We left feeling rested and refreshed - exactly what we needed after a difficult year.

We had a lovely week at Fred’s Shed.

Paul and Sarah-Jayne are incredibly welcoming hosts greeting you with bubbly and fresh bread. They have done a brilliant job converting an old shed into a well equipped and very comfortable home from home. We explored the lovely countryside around Hereford and hopefully we will return to do some more. We cannot praise this cottage enough, quirky with lovely features. David and Glynis and Molly the collie.

Excellent conversion of the old cowshed, clearly much thought and hard work has been put in by Paul and Sarah-Jane, who were welcoming and helpful on our arrival.

The retention of some of the old timbers provides just the right atmosphere, and all the necessary modern facilities couldn't be faulted. An excellent stay, and I'm sure we will be back next year. Thank you again.

Fred’s Shed is a true delight.

2 lovely double bedrooms, v comfortable lounge, good TV and well equipped kitchen diner - all on one level with underfloor heating. Bath with overhead shower etc. The owners live next door and very happy to show you around on arrival etc. we prebooked a £15 goodie box containing milk, eggs, wine, butter, jam and bread. On reflection it was a great idea as the nearest supermarkets are in Hereford about 5 miles away. A great place. Highly recommended

What an amazing place to holiday in.

Paul and Sarah have done an amazing job in turning a derelict barn into a lovely cottage. Both are extremely helpful when needed ( Special thanks for helping with the loan of a dog stroller when our elderly Sheltie was struggling. ) The small field area adjacent to the barn is for your dogs sole use. Inside everything you’ll need is supplied …….. along with Prosecco in the fridge and home made bread

We had a wonderful time at Fred's shed.

It was a great base to explore the area. The cottage was comfortable and cosy and the hosts were very nice, Friendly and welcoming.

Booked this property for a 3 night break on the back of a stay in the Cotswolds.

Fred’s Shed as it is called is a fabulous restoration of an old barn and ruin of a grade 1 property undertaken by the owners Paul and Sarah Jacobs over 2 years.You cannot fault the quality and location of the property located in a great rural setting 4 miles from Hereford.This is certainly a 5* venue and we would certainly recommend it you are friends who are looking for a short break. The owners Paul and Sarah greeted us on arrival and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Ken & Linda - 19th - 22nd August

What a great place to stay, well renovated and nicely decorated and finished to a high standard.

We couldn't fault the accommodation at all. Great paddock for the dog to use which she really loved. Clean , comfortable and quiet location and well located to use as a base to visit the lovely countryside and towns of Herefordshire. Would go back again .

A delightful stay in the wonderful Fred’s Shed.

Everything needed for a relaxing break. Welcoming hosts and fantastic local treats left for us to enjoy. Thank you to Paul and Sarah-Jane for providing such a great holiday home for others to share.

Lovely property in a beautiful location.

Very friendly and helpful owners. Great to find a place that is actually dog friendly! The paddock was a great space for our cockapoo Milo. Would love to come again sometime.

Paul and Sarah Jayne are perfect hosts.

Very attentive and friendly. The location is beautiful with so many great places to visit locally. Fred's Shed has all the comforts you need. We have stayed twice now, and will definitely be back again.

Fred's Shed is a very comfortable cottage to stay in .

It is set only a few miles from Hereford in a peaceful countryside setting with easy off road parking.Also convenient for various sights and places to go e.g. Hay on Wye ,Ludlow etc.Very helpful advice on all facilities and the area are set out in a little book in the cottage.Owners are helpful and friendly and very pleased to answer any questions. We would certainly recommend this as a place to stay and we had a relaxing time there.

Thank you for providing a beautifully presented cottage for our stay.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean on arrival and the welcome gifts were a lovely touch. We had a lovely time, despite the weather.

A wonderful restoration of a grade 2 barn by the owners for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Original features and quirky furniture made by the owners make it an interesting and comfortable holiday home which was a joy to return to after a day exploring the area. Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

Great property and the owners super friendly and helpful.

Very warm welcome - the cottage exceeded our expectations.

Ideal for a Christmas Break

Wonderfully converted barn in an idyllic location.

Owners very welcoming.

We are glad we found this little gem, Paul & Sarah are wonderful hosts, so friendly and helpful.

Lovely touches on arrival, freshly home made bread and bottle of sparkly. Fred's shed is exactly as described, spotlessly clean and fully equipped, home from home. Safe enclosed paddock for dogs, our goldies Wez & Fletch loved playing with Mabel, Winnie & Lilly. Absolutely recommend this remarkable find, and cant wait to return, Gill & Kevin

We had a lovely week in Fred’s Shed.

It is a very cleverly and thoughtfully designed layout. I loved that so much of the original barn has been used. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, they even have sharp knives

We arrived on the hottest day of the year, so far, to a warm welcome from Paul, who showed us round - we were not disappointed, it was just like it was in the pictures, warm, cosy, quirky with the little extras, what a superb find for us, as our daughter lives half an hour away, so handy for visiting and seeing the beautiful countryside.

Dog friendly with her having a small paddock to roam about in, while we sat relaxing in the sun, it was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - no wonder Paula and Sarah are proud of what they have achieved, thank you for letting us stay in your barn conversion, who highly recommend a visit to this gem of a place.

We had a wonderful week at Fred’s Shed.

We were greeted with a homemade loaf and a bottle of bubbly by the owners Sarah and Paul who were very friendly and always there if needed. The accommodation was excellent. Converted by the owners to a very high spec. It has an excellent shower and such comfortable beds that we didn’t want to get up. We will definitely be telling our friends.

Fred’s Shed is simply outstanding.

Stylish, comfortable accommodation; peaceful and beautiful surroundings and the most wonderful hosts in Sarah and Paul. It is an easy place to relax in; lovely private and secure outside space; very comfy bed and sofa and a well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, we just love it! The home made bread and bottle of fizz were an added bonus and we couldn’t have wished for a better holiday. So happy to have found this gem.

Such a well appointed cottage… but a more sophisticated shower delivery system would be expected and larger towels!

Otherwise it is excellent and the hosts very welcoming… location is superb for exploring Herefordshire- a delightful county!

Freds Shed is a beautiful property in a great location.

Perfect for relaxing in after a busy day exploring all that the area has to offer and just what we needed. Lovely hosts who couldn’t have been more welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

A Warm welcome from our hosts.

Fred’s Shed looks just like the pictures and is a very comfortable space to relax in. It’s in a beautiful location and has a lovely outside space, plus a large enclosed safe grassed area for dogs or family games. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic country cottage near to Hereford which is perfect for a short stay away.

The owners Paul and Sarah couldn't have been more friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Paul built Fred's shed himself and he is quite rightly extremely proud of his achievement. I would highly recommend Fred's Shed.

Amazing property!

We had a lovely break and the owners couldn’t have been friendlier. Would highly recommend

Fred's shed was exactly as advertised and more.

From the moment we arrived it felt more like a home from home than a holiday let. It is beautifully decorated to a very high standard and the hosts were lovely. Not to mention the beautiful surrounding Herefordshire countryside that was a joy to explore....and we had glorious weather too!

A fabulous holiday home, incredibly comfortable converted farm property with all comforts yet retaining its original character and charm.

Had a lovely week away at Fred's shed.

Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Felt so relaxed staying here. Plenty of places to visit around this area. Will definitely return to this barn!

Fred’s Shed was immaculate and the owners were absolutely lovely.

The attention to detail at the property was impressive. It was a peaceful, restorative break and has given us wonderful memories. Thank you!

Four adults and two dogs had a great time at Fred’s Sheds.

Beautiful barn with everything you need. The dogs had a great time in the enclosed paddock. Paul was a great host would definitely recommend Thank you

We had high expectations of Freds Shed and they were exceeded without a doubt.

The conversion has clearly been completed with passion and style and the little touches throughout make for a very comfortable stay. The hosts, Sarah & Paul, are very welcoming, kind and caring - like being on holiday with your friends! If the week you are looking for has Freds Shed available, you shouldn't hesitate in booking it up as you will not be disappointed! We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

We had a lovely stay at Fred’s Shed.

Everything was just perfect. The renovation of the property is beautiful and every little detail has been thought of. Such a relaxing property to stay in. The beds were so comfortable which always makes for a good stay! Sarah and Paul where the most perfect hosts. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at this lovely spot in Herefordshire.

Fred's Shed was a beautiful converted barn with a Skandi, comfortable feel to its decoration and furnishings.

Hosts Sarah and Paul were very friendly and welcoming to us and our dog who loved his own paddock space. Would definitely recommend if to friends and family.

Just returned from a week staying in Fred’s Shed which was a great base to explore the Herefordshire countryside.

The accommodation is excellent and the hosts were exceptional in their kindness. Fred’s shed is finished to a really high standard and the attention to detail and thought which has gone into the property made our stay truly enjoyable.

Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Perfect hosts and the accommodation was excellent (particularly good as a dog friendly home with enclosed paddock, ideal for our puppy Rags!) Will definitely be returning.

Outstanding 'Cottage' in the wonderful British countryside.

The accommodation was finished to a very high, modern, standard, but still retained the character of the original cow shed, with original brickwork and beams. The place felt very homely with some well thought out touches to make it feel more like a home you are borrowing than a holiday rental. The owners live in a connecting barn but judged the level of contact perfectly. There if you had a question, or just a chat about the area, but didn't intrude. You are 15 mins from Hereford and there are a number of other small towns and villages all within a short drive. Ludlow and it's market is well worth a visit. We found some lovely walks around the cottage and nearby and many more a short drive away.

Beautifully appointed Barn conversion.

Everything had been thought of by the owners to make our stay the very best it could be. Visitors to Fred’s Shed will not be disappointed. The owners Paul and Sarah deserve to succeed with this amazing let. Outstanding !!!!

A truly wonderful countryside holiday home.

Sarah and Paul, the owners, could not do enough for us. Fred's Shed is a real credit to them. They have renovated the barn beautifully with it's rustic, country quirks and homely feel. We felt at home from the minute we stepped inside (So did our dog, Ralphy!) There was plenty of room for 4 adults and the dog. There is a gorgeous outdoor space for an afternoon drink, and our very own huge paddock for the dog to roam too. Every detail had been carefully considered from the dog treats, home-made bread, Nespresso machine pods to the fresh flowers. Fred's Shed is in a beautiful, countryside location and is situated perfectly to explore Herefordshire. (Eastnor castle, Symonds Yat - Ross On Wye, Breacon Beacon, Malvern Hills to name a few.) There are some fantastic countryside pubs (dog-friendly) and restaurants in the local area too. I would definitely recommend Fred's Shed and would return! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Fred's Shed has a beautifully designed, Scandinavian-style interior.

It has exposed beams, exposed stone and brick, and pieces of repurposed wood with walls that are grey and white. We really liked it. The friendly, helpful owners are just next door if you need anything. The mattresses were very comfortable - they felt firm and supportive. The kitchen had good saucepans, tin foil, cling film and washing up liquid. The fridge is a larder fridge with a small freezer compartment, so don't buy too much food in one go. There was good attention to detail, such as nightlights that come on automatically in the kitchen and lounge to illumiate the way in the middle of the night. It's quite an intimate property. For example, the doors to one of the bedrooms and the bathroom slide (leaving slight gaps), so the doors are a little less soundproof than conventional doors. One bedroom got a little loud when the heating came on at 6.30am. It sounded like the boiler and pipes were right next door. So that may be a small issue if you are a light sleeper. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Overall, we had a lovely time and would certainly consider returning.
