  • A covered redbrick barn with hay bale seating and table tennis
Overview
Property code: 77863

Promising you a splendid break away with family, friends and four-legged pals, this charming farmhouse is perfectly located for adventure. Take to well-trodden paths, hop on a mountain bike or saddle up and explore the fantastic Golden Valley on horseback before resting up back at the ranch. Exuding elegance, sophistication and cosy spots, curl up and rejuvenate before seeing what tomorrow has in store.

A trio of lounge spaces invites tired toes and weary heads to rest up. Steal a moment of peace and quiet in the snug, gather guests for a pre-dinner tipple in the smart lounge or lap up the warmth from the roaring wood burner in the library-style reception. Dine beneath exposed beams, amongst vibrant style and fill the air with laughter before spending your night the best way we know how: soaking in the wood-fired hot tub. The perfect sundowner treat, enjoy a dip with some bubbles in hand or, for a livelier affair, head into the games barn for an evening of competition. Crown the winner and head to bed in sumptuous rooms where the style is second to none. Rise and shine feeling refreshed and revived before escorting young guests outside to the play area with a warming mug of coffee to give you a splash of energy.

Pack up a picnic full of tasty treats and embark on fabulous explorations straight from your door. Panoramic views across the spectacular Wye Valley can be found by climbing Merbach Hill or following nearby footpaths. For a handful of history, make your way 3 miles to Arthur’s Stone, an ancient burial chamber steeped in legend. Make a splash on the River Wye and paddle out in a canoe which can be hired less than 8 miles from home in Glasbury or stay dry by travelling 10 miles to Tregoyd Mountain Riders for an afternoon of pony trekking.

What a venue! Westbrook Court will fit the bill for any large gathering. We had a party of 16-18 for the weekend, celebrating a 40th Birthday in late March. Everyone was comfortable and able to share the space with ease. It really ticked all the boxes for us. Our party was entirely adults, so the 9 king sized bedrooms were perfect for us. The venueRead more offers cot/beds for children though. We all, would stay at Westbrook again, whether for the weekend or for longer next time. Thanks for having us. Hide

We booked Westbrook House for a family celebration as it offered all the practical elements we were looking for as well as being beautifully presented and in a stunning location. We were not disappointed - the house and grounds really are as beautiful as they look in the photographs as well as being fully equipped with everything you could want forRead more a family weekend. The house and annex are both warm and welcoming, managing to be spacious and cosy at the same time. Highly recommended. Hide
