The local area: Herefordshire

Herefordshire has a rich history and is one of Britain's most beautiful and unspoilt counties. There is much to do and see in the nearby historic cathedral city, with its local markets, independent producers, traditional pubs and breweries and much more.

The surrounding countryside offers a whole host of activities including walking, cannoeing, exploring ancient castles and visiting medieval churches. The area also plays host to numerous events, including the world famous Hay Fesitval, the literary festival in nearby Hay-on-Wye, and the Abergaveny Food Festival . 

We are more than happy to provide information and suggestions on what to do and see during your visit.

Trelough House is a beautiful example of a period home, dating back to the 18th century. Prior to its current owners it formed part of the Whitfield Estate, with numerous different inhabitants. At one time Trelough House even played host to a duck farm! 

In 2005 we brought the house, seduced by its beauty and history. It was in need of some significant renovation and has been a labour of love ever since! With our children grown up and now living in Cornwall, London and Istanbul, opening our doors for others to experience the unique charm of Trelough House seemed like a natural choice.

We hope that during your stay you enjoy the beauty and unique charm of Trelough House as much as we do.
