COSY, country hideaways with the luxury of a five star feel are top of the agenda for a Kington farm diversification project.

Desperate times in the farming fraternity caused Lyonshall farmer, Jo Hilditch to look at other ways to earn a living and she decided the Herefordshire holiday property market could accommodate some more luxurious additions to its portfolio.

Now following the successful launch of 'White Heron Properties' and with two cottages and a farmhouse on the books it appears the diversification has been a roaring success.

Jo said: "Simplicity is paramount, but I want my guests to feel as though they are staying in a luxury five star hotel and that they are really treating themselves by choosing one of our properties."
