Nearby attractions include Hereford on the River Wye (20 mins), Leominster's antique shops (10 mins) and Hampton Court Castle Estate (15 mins). Weobley with its black and white buildings is worth a visit, as is Berrington Hall (12 mins).
The Country Retreat is perfect for milestone birthdays, family reunions or just because you fancy playing lord of the manor for a week. It's private but not isolated, luxurious but not stuffy. Book it before your in-laws suggest their place instead.
