Hotels & Accommodation near Oldfield Forge

We have visited the grounds of Kentchurch Court a number of times. so were thrilled to when they started to offer self catering lets. We had a wonderful time and would particularly like to thank Helen the housekeeping team for making everything so super clean for our stay.

The accommodation is part of a working horse farm. We had an elevated view, with a big horizon. East facing, we witnessed magical sun rises and also a good view of the moon. The interior was beautifully clean. Everything we needed was all provided in a compact well thought out space. It felt like the hosts had really thought about guest comfort - it was all just lovely.

Having married in Kentchurch, we returned to Kentchurch Court for three nights to celebrate our anniversary with friends. It was a privilege to be able to enjoy such a lovely and historic house in glorious and peaceful surroundings. There is plenty of space to allow people to gather together but equally spend some time separately over the weekend. Our guests walked, cycled, played tennis, wandered through the lovely gardens or just relaxed in the various sitting rooms as well as taking the opportunity to explore further afield including Hereford, Hay and Ross. The house, despite its historic grandeur remains very welcoming and comfortable and the plethora of family photographs reminds one that this is above all, a family home. The bedrooms are all quite unique and extremely comfortable. There are a few modern showers but the majority of the bathrooms are furnished with enormous old baths which felt very extravagant. There is an endless supply of hot water in which to luxuriate. It was a great help when sharing bathrooms, that dressing gowns are provided! The kitchen and boot room have been recently modernised to an extremely high specification and are ideal areas for catering for 20 people for 3 days. Every conceivable piece of kitchen equipment was provided and the huge amount of crockery, glassware and cutlery meant you weren't endlessly washing up to equip the next meal. And two dishwashers is a great help! The kitchen opens out onto a lovely walled terrace area, full of huge pots of interesting plants and comfortable seating and dining areas with a huge fire pit for chillier evenings. The housekeeping staff do a fantastic job and everything was spotlessly clean and tidy. Well done Linda and Marg! We received a very comprehensive summary from Linda on arrival, giving us all the information we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend Kentchurch Court and if we can think of a suitable excuse, we'll be back as will our guests!!
