The Threshing Barn is a charming, characterful cottage situated in Kington, Herefordshire, within the picturesque Heart of England region. This three-story residence offers a cozy retreat for two, featuring a single bedroom nestled in the eaves, adorned with high ceilings that showcase exposed oak beams and painted stone walls. Guests can enjoy far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, while the cottage is equipped with modern amenities such as a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room complete with a Smart TV and free Wi-Fi. The en suite bathroom includes both a bath and a shower, and the property also provides parking and an electric charging point, along with a welcome hamper to enhance the stay.
The Threshing Barn is part of the historic Penrhos Court estate, a grade II star listed half-timbered manor house that dates back to 1280. Renowned food critic AA Gill once described it as "a breathtakingly beautiful small hotel" set against some of England's most scenic landscapes. The former hotel wing has been thoughtfully transformed into seven boutique self-catering cottages and one B&B suite, preserving the estate's rich history while offering modern comforts. The manor has a storied past, having hosted iconic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen, and served as a rehearsal space for the legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Throughout its history, Penrhos has attracted a variety of notable figures, including musician Mike Oldfield, who was often seen playing guitar by the large inglenook fireplace at what is now The Cattle Shed Café, the estate's award-winning eatery. The manor has also welcomed former American presidents, Sir Paul McCartney, and members of Monty Python, who frequented the venue to support their late co-star Terry Jones, the pioneer of microbreweries in the 1970s. This blend of historical significance and cultural heritage adds a unique charm to the cottage and its surroundings.
In addition to its rich history, the area surrounding Kington offers a wealth of cultural and recreational activities. Visitors can explore the Weobley Jubilee Heritage Trail and the Lion Street Gallery, while attractions such as the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, Hergest Croft Gardens, Westonbury Mill Water Gardens, and Herefordshire Raceway provide diverse entertainment options. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the region is perfect for hiking and cycling, and golf enthusiasts can practice their swing at nearby courses, making The Threshing Barn an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration.
