Set within 22 acres of private grounds, this stunning 14th-century retreat is perfect for those special occasions with friends and family, when you don’t want to leave your loving hound at home. Sleeping up to 18 guests and one dog across nine bedrooms, this spacious home is perfect for entertaining, with a games room, pool table and cinema area, as well as large gardens for Fido to roam.

 

This beautiful home is found at the end of a long private drive and is full of original features which add to its charm. Relax with a drink in the cosy lounge while your canine snoozes in front of the open fire or retire to the gorgeous snug which is the perfect hideaway for some quiet time. For more formal meals, the dining room is a splendid space for large gatherings, while the library with pool table is great for those in a competitive mood. Rustle up a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen, while the rest of the group relaxes in the games room with table tennis and a cinema area. When it’s time to retire, you’ll find nine delightful bedrooms upstairs, which have all been designed with peace and calm in mind. Step outside into the immediate grounds to find terraces and lawns which are perfect for the children and dog.

 

Explore the property’s extensive grounds by paw and by foot, before getting a bite to eat at the local pub, 3 miles away.

The vibrant city of Hereford is just 10.5 miles away too.

Superb, luxury house, perfect for cosy winters. There are multiple open fires (and plenty of dry wood) including the spectacular inglenook in the dining hall. A real treat for a grown up weekend away to celebrate our collective 40ths.

One of the best holidays we've had in this country. We had 18 people there for 2 friends 60th birthday celebration and not one single negative comment from anybody throughout our 4 day stay. We all said it was fantastic with great facilities and comfortable. Not to mention the stunning views and the historic property itself.

A stunning property, wonderful for our Easter family gathering to also celebrate a special birthday. Spacious, delightfully furnished and decorated, a real Tudor mansion. The gardens are extensive, wonderful for our children to get lost in and provided the perfect location for a challenging Easter Egg hunt!
