The House is a historic and romantic manor house set in the beautiful Wye Valley in unspoilt rural Herefordshire.

The present building dates from 1500 and is a fine example of a Herefordshire half timbered manor house with some impressive chevron panels to the front elevation. Throughout the house are many large oak timbers – many bearing “carpenters marks” and some ceiling beams with well chamfered edges. In the de Mortimer Suite many of the wall timbers bear the flame shaped scorch marks probably caused from rush lights fixed to the wall beams.

The room now used as the guests breakfast room was once the courtroom, and at this time the infamous Judge Jeffries dispensed justice here. The Court Book can be viewed in the Hereford Record Office.

Over the centuries the course of the River Wye has changed and evidence of how close the river once was can be seen in the garden. Now the River Wye is 15 mins walk away and makes a delightful stroll on a summer evening.
