Brooks Country House  

In rural Peterstow, between Ross-on-Wye and Hereford, this Grade II manor sits on 15 acres of countryside. It’s a family-friendly base near St Mary’s Church, Wilton Castle, Goodrich Castle and Symonds Yat West Leisure Park — perfect for castle-hopping and river adventures.

A cosy, period property last renovated in 2017, the manor keeps sash windows, grand fireplaces and individually furnished rooms (19 in total). The hotel also boasts a two-acre vineyard producing Pengethley Estate white wine you can buy on site, plus seasonal outdoor pool, sauna and hot tub for chilled-out stays.

Stand-out perks include an attached winery, summer outdoor swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, fitness centre, snooker room, bar and lounge. Wake up to countryside views and stroll the grounds, then unwind with a glass of the estate wine.

Conference and meeting rooms offer about 538 sq ft (50 m²) of event space, plus express check-in, laundry facilities and complimentary wireless internet. Free self-parking makes arrivals easy for work or celebration weekends.

On-site restaurant and a bar/lounge serve regional flavours alongside the hotel’s own Pengethley Estate white wine. Room service is available during limited hours for relaxed, in-room dining.
