Pear Tree Farm Guest House Bedrooms B&B at Pear Tree Farm - we can accommodate up to six guests in three rooms:
The Sea Room
Our double room on the first floor with private bathroom across the landing.
One of our Guests said "… the gorgeous bathroom with candles and luxurious oils, the fluffy
bathrobe and more than that, the delicious home made food."
The Barn Bedroom
Our twin room with shower room en suite … so named as this side of the house
used to be an animal and grain store (the grain was hoisted up through this
room for safe keeping from the Welsh marauders in the 18th century!).
Mediæval luxury meets Italian design. One of our Guests said "Your attention to detail is
phenomenal and the room luxurious."
The Cider House
This was a cow byre, potato clamp, a dairy and at the turn of the 20th century
contained a cider press. It’s now our third guest room with a double bed,
futon sofa bed (so it can be used as a twin), shower room and its own
kitchen.
It’s on the ground floor and is suitable for people with restricted

Wigmore, Ludlow and Herefordshire - Diary of forthcoming local attractions
Maps - How to get to Pear Tree Farm B&B Guest House
The History of Wigmore and Ludlow, and Local Attractions Wigmore, only seven miles from Ludlow, in North Herefordshire, is now a small village that has largely been bypassed by the outside world. But it remains true that there are the same stunning walks, the same inviting country pubs, the same sparkling rivers and the same mysterious woodlands that have beguiled travellers for centuries. Discover it for yourself.
Wigmore Castle, one of the greatest of England’s medieval castles, was recently reopened to the public after a three year, one million pound rescue operation to save the ruins from disintegration.
Seven miles from Wigmore, Ludlow in Shropshire is a medieval market town that grew up in the shadow of the magnificent 11th century castle. The streets still follow the ancient pattern and there are more than 500 listed buildings in the town centre. Ludlow is reputed to be the only town in England that can still support a thriving market three days a week – and four in the summer! There are many fine shops to explore selling everything from local artisans’ work to designer clothing and many fine restaurants.
Leominster (pronounced Lem’ster) is seven miles south of Wigmore and is the most northern town of substance in Herefordshire. Although not as dramatic as Ludlow it is every bit as ancient and boasts an attractive market, the Corn Square, and many fine buildings that demonstrate changing architectural styles from 17th century and Georgian to the Victorian Gothic of the Corn Exchange.
Stokesay Castle is a unique example of a fortified 13th century manor house
that calls Mervyn Peake’s ‘Gormenghast’ to mind. Built between 1285 and 1305
- today you can immerse yourself in its history and get a true sense of what
life was really like in those ancient days.
Karen and Mark Hindle make their own cheeses at the Pleck Farm, Monkland.
Well worth a visit, as you can watch cheesemaking in progress and come away
with booty that would bring joy to the Ben Gunns amongst you!
Berrington Hall
and Croft Castle are both near Leominster. Berrington Hall is the classical
18th century country house with landscaping by ‘Capability’ Brown. Croft
Castle has been home to the Croft family since it was mentioned as on of the
Marcher Castles in the Domesday Book.
Dinmore Manor and Gardens are half way between Leominster and Hereford. The
house shows architectural features from the 12th to the 20th centuries and
the gardens feature a rock pool and a fine collection of old Acers as well
as a yew tree that was seeded in 800 AD.
The Wernlas Collection, eight miles north west of Wigmore, is an
internationally acclaimed conservation centre that specialises in breeding
rare and traditional poultry. A chickophiles paradise, there are many rare
and beautiful chickens to admire as well as rare breeds of goat, sheep and
pig. This all combines to form an unique gene pool at a time when rare
breeds are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Herefordshire and Shropshire are home to some of the country’s most talented
and innovative designer/makers and exponents of traditional crafts that were
almost lost. Potters; chair and furniture makers; painters; glass makers;
silver and goldsmiths; jewellers; decorative ironworkers; cabinet makers;
milliners and artists in watercolours, oils, gouaches and every natural
pigment known to man or woman; all have made their homes and ply their
crafts in this most beautiful part of the country –
The Marches.
