This delightful cottage is nestled within the grounds of the historic Penrhos Court, a Grade II star listed manor house with origins dating back to 1280. The estate has been praised by renowned food critic AA Gill, who described it as "a breathtakingly beautiful small hotel" harmoniously integrated into the charming English countryside. The transformation of the former hotel wing into seven boutique self-catering cottages and one B&B suite has made it a unique destination, steeped in rich history and character.
Penrhos Court has played a significant role in the music and cultural scene, serving as a retreat for rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Queen. The manor is noted for being one of the rehearsal studios for the iconic song "Bohemian Rhapsody." Local musician Mike Oldfield, known for his work on Tubular Bells, was often seen at Penrhos, where he would play guitar in exchange for wine. The estate has also welcomed notable figures, including former American presidents, Sir Paul McCartney, and members of Monty Python, who supported their friend Terry Jones during the launch of a microbrewery in the 1970s.
For those seeking outdoor adventures, Kington offers proximity to the Ticknock Mountain Bike Trails and the Herefordshire Golf Club, making it an ideal spot for both cycling and golfing enthusiasts. Nature lovers can explore the breathtaking landscapes of Brecon Beacons National Park and Shropshire Hills, while family-friendly attractions like the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, as well as Hergest Croft Gardens, provide additional options for leisure and exploration. The Threshing Barn serves as a perfect base for experiencing the rich history and natural beauty of the area.
