The Experience
Behind its grand oak doors, you’ll find a home that’s both historic and warming with William Morris wallpapers, carved fireplaces and stained glass rubbing shoulders happily with modern comforts. Gather together in the panelled dining hall, find a book to read in the library, or settle in the grand drawing room with its wood burner and piano. Children, or those needing a little quiet time, will head for the cosy snug. The big kitchen has all the kit you might need for conjuring up big meals on the lovely double Aga and a separate pantry with an enormous fridge/freezer.
On balmy days you can play croquet on the lawn, have a picnic by the medieval lake or sizzle something on the barbecue in the courtyard garden. In winter, you’ll find decorated halls, roaring fires and a grand staircase dressed for Christmas.
Characterful and colourful bedrooms (six in the North Wing and five in the South Wing) have the most delightful rural views.

I booked Rowden Abbey for the weekend of my Dad's 60th birthday. Charlie who manages the house was extremely helpful and informative when we arrived and throughout our stay. The property is magnificent and everyone had a brilliant time exploring the house and area. We loved Bentley the Great dain and got to meet Ernie the owner who was super friendly. It was a very memorable and special weekend.

Beautiful and a well kept wonderful home. Felt like we had stepped back into an Agatha Christie novel. History all around you and maintained to a very high standard. Charlie was warm and welcoming, full of passion and stories of Rowdens history. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with others.

The neighbourhood
You're two miles outside Bromyard – known as the town of festivals. Here you can shop at Legges of Bromyard, an independent butcher who also sells Peter Cooks breads and pastries. There is also a good food market once a month. Visit Ralph Court Gardens, Brockhampton and Berrington Hall, Queenswood Country Park and Arboretum, Hampton Court Castle. Ludlow, Hay-on-Wye and Ross-on-Wye are 45 minutes.
Local points of interest from Charlie Martin
- Ralph Court Gardens, Edwyn RalphJust five minutes from Bromyard, these twelve whimsical gardens take visitors on a world tour — from Italian piazzas to African jungles — complete with dragons, dinosaurs and musical fountains. Perfect for families and garden lovers alike.
- 2. Hampton Court Castle & Gardens, Hope-under-DinmoreA magnificent 15th-century castle with 1,000 years of history, formal walled gardens, a maze, and riverside walks. Seasonal tours and tearooms make it a beautiful day out.
- 3. Cider & Perry CountryNorth Herefordshire is famed for its orchards — visit Little Pomona, Butford Organics, or Newton Court Cidery to sample award-winning ciders, tours and tastings that celebrate the region’s heritage.
- 4. Bromyard Downs & Bringsty CommonStep straight into open countryside — 500 acres of rolling common land, ancient tracks, and panoramic views to the Malverns and Black Mountains. Ideal for walking, picnics, and wildflower spotting.
- 5. The Malvern Hills & National LandscapeA short drive east, these iconic hills inspired Elgar’s music and offer some of England’s most breathtaking ridge walks — with views across Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Wales.
- 6. Ludlow & Its CastleAround 30 minutes north, the medieval market town of Ludlow brims with independent shops, food festivals, and a spectacular Norman castle overlooking the River Teme.

Introducing
Charlie Martin
Charlie is the estate manager – she lives on site and is available if you need her. She's happy to do a tour of the house if you ask and to tell you about the history.
An absolutely fabulous venue with the most attentive host. The house is in an excellent state of repair and furnished to a very high standard. Lots of different spaces both large and small made this ideal for our weekend celebration. And the grounds are also fabulous but we couldn't enjoy them fully sadly because of the poor weather. Maybe next time!
