Munsley Acre Country House - trip idea

I'm wondering about a trip to this Herefordshire guest house, about 4 miles from Ledbury where there's a railway station. It sleeps 9-10 and is run by cyclists Anne and Mark Brazier. They've sent me some information leaflets which I've scanned and will upload to the web when I think of a way to do it. The current B&B rates are £35-£42 pppn depending on whether you share a room and how many nights you stay, but we should be able to get a group rate a bit lower.

Evening meals are available at the house (3 courses £22.50) as are lighter meals (£9.95). The house is licensed for drinks with meals. I'm not sure what the pub grub options are, at the moment, but the nearest pub seems to be 2.1 miles away in Trumpet.

From a quick enquiry the cheapest London-Ledbury train fare I could see was £41 return (with a railcard of course).

Attractions and activities nearby (not checked for cycleability) include: Coddington Vineyard, Eastnor Castle, Hellens Manor (late 13th C), National Birds of Prey Centre, Newbridge Farm Park, The Picton Garden, The Shambles Victorian Village, The Three Choirs Vineyard, Westons Cider.

In Ledbury itself there's: Butcher Row House Folk Museum, 16th Century painted room, Barrett-Browning Institute, Glayzydays Ceramic Cafe, Guide walks (wot no bike rides?), Ledbury Heritage Centre, Ledbury Leisure Centre (sports/gym), Ledbury Swimming Pool (with sauna sunbeds and fitness suite).

Expressions of interest to Colin, please. (Don't ask when we're going - I'm only finding out who's interested. No committment at this stage - don't say "no" for the sake of dates, answer assuming the dates are suitable. You're welcome to say when you'd like to go - time of year / how long for, etc.)
