Penrhos Court itself is a remarkable grade II star listed manor house with a rich history, parts of which date back to 1280. Renowned food critic AA Gill once described it as "a breathtakingly beautiful small hotel," seamlessly integrated into the enchanting landscape of the Heart of England. The estate has recently undergone significant renovations, transforming the former hotel wing into seven boutique self-catering cottages and one bed and breakfast suite, offering guests a unique and luxurious experience amid its storied past.
The illustrious history of Penrhos Court includes hosting legendary musicians such as Led Zeppelin and Queen, with the manor even serving as a rehearsal studio for the iconic song "Bohemian Rhapsody." Local music legend Mike Oldfield was known to frequent the property, often seen playing his guitar in exchange for wine in what is now The Cattle Shed Café, an award-winning on-site eatery. The manor has also welcomed notable figures, including former American presidents, Sir Paul McCartney, and members of Monty Python, who supported their co-star Terry Jones when he opened one of the first microbreweries in the 1970s.
Guests at The Threshing Barn can explore the rich cultural offerings of the area, including the Weobley Jubilee Heritage Trail and The Lion Street Gallery. Attractions such as the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre, Hergest Croft Gardens, Westonbury Mill Water Gardens, and Herefordshire Raceway provide ample opportunities for leisure and recreation. Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in various activities, including hiking, cycling, and practicing their golf swing at nearby courses, making this vacation home an ideal base for experiencing the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Heart of England.
