Property code: 77863

Consisting of a beautiful 17th-century farmhouse and impressive detached stable block, this unique property is set in 5 acres of pristine, landscaped grounds. Sleeping 18 people over 10 bedrooms and welcoming five canine companions, it’s the perfect place to get everyone you love together for a special celebration or long-overdue party. Roam free on the long country walks through the Golden Valley; host a BBQ to remember for all of your guests in the large outdoor seating area; and at the end of the day, pour yourself a glass of wine and soak up the far-reaching views across the Wye Valley. Step inside the farmhouse and you’ll immediately realise that this property is perfect for any celebration. Catch up on all the gossip in the comfy sofas in the main living room; get dressed up and sip a pre-dinner cocktail in the formal living room; host a dinner party to remember in the impressive dining room; or step outside and share precious moments with your loved ones around the fire pit. The kids will disappear into the children’s play area and the undercover games’ room in the barn, so if you find yourself with a little me-time, take a dip in the wood-fired hot tub. At the end of the day, there are four chic bedrooms in the farmhouse and five bedrooms in the converted stable block to choose from. Spend a relaxing afternoon browsing the boutiques, cafes and bookstores of Hay-on-Wye (4 miles). If you’re a foodie in search of local specialities to sample during your trip, you’ll find local charcuterie in Longtown (14.5 miles), farmhouse ice cream in Rowlestone (16 miles) and a craft cider farm in Pontrilas (15 miles).

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
