Milebrook House

A mature 17th Century grey stone country house by the River Teme, on the border with England , Milebrook House has been sensitively and elegantly adapted to the needs of a country hotel.

From the dignified, Ivy clad exterior, to its softly lit, elegant and homely interior décor, a genial atmosphere pervades through Milebrook house. This is heightened by the personal attention of friendly resident hosts and polite and helpful staff, who are prepared to go that little bit further to meet their guest's requirements should any need arise.

Milebrook House has 10 spacious rooms along with sizable bathrooms, which are all pleasingly decorated, immaculately kept and well-appointed with views across the rolling countryside.

The hotel is set in 3 acres of gardens, mixing formal well-manicured lawns, riverside walks and productive kitchen gardens supplying herbs and vegetables to the restaurant at Milebrook House.

The cuisine at Milebrook house draws on the best of local Welsh produce for well-prepared, well-presented traditional dishes, enjoyed in the restaurants refined surroundings. After a fine dinner, petit fours are served in the sedate surroundings of the drawing room.

Interestingly, Milebrook House was once home to the esteemed traveller Sir Wilfred Thesinger and a number of pictures of his well-worn well-travelled visage can be found around the house.
