I live with my partner Alex, in the bungalow of Appletree Hill. Hedgehog Lodge Retreat and Meerkat Manor B&B are my passion and business, so the well being and care of my guests is paramount. My aspiration for you, is that your stay with us, is everything you wish for and more. So where possible I will be available, if needed during the day for any assistance or questions and in an emergency during the night. Close enough if you need me, but far enough for your privacy ..... Appletree Hill Retreat is a small holding and we have numerous animals, of which majority are rescues. We have 2 donkeys, 2 sheep, 2 goats, 20 hens, a cockerel, 14 ducks, 6 cats & 4 dogs all our our pets & family, but keep us very busy. A full deep clean will take place between guests leaving and the next staying, on all hard surfaces, and frequently touched surfaces, door handles, light switches, remote controls etc. ALL linen will be washed in Ariels Anti~bacteria washing power and at the highest temperature possible. The accommodation is a private area, with self check in, food delivered with personal space, so where possible limited face to face contact. I look forward to welcoming you to our home & sanctuary .... Much Love x

Coddington is a very small hamlet with approx 12 dwellings, 2 working farms, a church and even its own vineyard. Within a 5 minute walk is 'Adhisthana' set in Coddington Court. A Buddhist Community that holds events & retreats and visit us often in the summer months, enjoying a cup of tea & time with the animals. There are many lovely walks within Coddington, especially Oyster Hill, and lots of public footpath routes to follow in the surrounding area. The Malvern Hills are only a short distance away by car, for longer walks and spectacular views over Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Colwall is a small village 3.6 miles away that has a convenience store and a selection of places to eat and drink. Our nearest town is Historic Ledbury, full of charm, tudor buildings, as well as modern shops to meander round before stopping in one of the many tea rooms for a comforting break. Further afield are the 3 cities of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester with their inspiring cathedrals and shopping experience.
