The Throne is a beautiful Grade 2*-listed house in an award-winning black and white village in rolling English countryside. The owners have carefully added a huge open plan living area to the original medieval building to create a stunning and relaxed place to stay. The garden is enchanting with its large lawn, pretty patios and well tended flower beds. There's no better place to be, whether you want to enjoy a morning coffee, play badminton, bounce on the trampoline, read a book, light the barbecue, enjoy fabulous local cheese and a glass of Weobley beer or just lie on the grass and listen to the birds. A lot of guests never want to leave the premises (and that was before lockdown!)

With 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and generous entertaining space, the Throne is dog friendly, ideal for family gatherings, friend reunions, and special celebrations. It's also sufficiently homely for a couple or small party to enjoy (there is a 35% discount for up to 6 people using 3 bedrooms).

This outstanding Grade II* listed house has a fascinating history and a Royal connection from which it takes its name. Begun in 1478 and expanded in 16th century, it hosted Charles I for a night in 1645 during the English Civil War. He came fresh from relieving the siege of Hereford, a rare victory for the Royalists at that time. The original Tudor bedrooms, one of which the king slept in, and even older north wing are home to secret passages, original floorboards, glimpses of wattle and daub and other delightful features showing how the house has evolved over the centuries. A specially written guide encourages young (and old) explorers to follow the clues. We aim to make sure our prices are reasonable to give more people the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this very special place.

Weobley is the largest and best preserved of the classic black and white villages of Herefordshire. It's also a very friendly and vibrant village and The One Show's 'Village of the Year 2017'. It has a fine traditional English pub (the Sal'), three excellent places to eat (which also do takeaways), a butcher, delicatessen, wholefood emporium and well-stocked village shop. There are lovely circular walks straight from the house.

We are a group of 8 friends living in various parts of the UK who get together twice a year. The Throne is a lovely quirky house very well placed for walks directly from the property and excellent local restaurants. Lovely to be able use the generous table in the dining room when catering for ourselves.

A group of 12 of us had a wonderful weekend at The Throne reading books. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, bedrooms are plentiful and the beds are really comfortable, there are plenty of bathrooms including two lovely baths. Communication with the owner and housekeeper was easy and efficient. The house was spacious and full of Tudor character but also surprisingly warm and comfortable. We didn't explore the village much because we were so happy in the house reading books but it looks magical and there was some nice gentle walks around the old castle earthworks and fields nearby. A wonderful weekend - thank you.

Had a lovely weekend with 9 people but there was no hot water in the 2 upstairs pods. Not a problem as we were all good friends and able to share the other 2 bathrooms. Plenty of space for us all. But could possible do with another couple of easy chairs in the lounge. We all fitted in and the house was lovely and warm. Could do with some extra wine glasses in the kitchen or the dining room. Lots of cooking pots and serving bowls provided for our Sunday roast. A super weekend in a great location. Thank you

This is a stunning property and very comfortable. However , the oven was dirty and smelled of grease. The baking trays were also very greasy and had to be washed before use. There was an old newspaper under one of the beds. Very small TV in the sitting room and not enough comfortable seating for a large party

We spent Christmas at this fabulous property - 3 grandparents, 4 children and their partners and 3 grandchildren. We had the best time! The history of the house is fascinating. The accommodation for a large party like ours is exceptional - so much space and so well equipped. The grandchildren loved the secret passages! it was beautifully warm and there was loads of hot water for showering. The table tennis was a bonus. The village of Weobley is also lovely and has a restaurant, 2 pubs, coffee shop, tea shop and convenience store. There's plenty to do locally as well. Can't fault it - fabulous!

We (three sons with wives/partners and 3 children including 2 toddlers and their great-grandmother) had a great time during our weekend family get-together. The secluded garden and communal areas were excellent including a huge kitchen/dining/living area, a dining room with not one but two chandeliers (where we celebrated a birthday), and a cozy sitting room. The downstairs bedroom with en suite was excellent and had an very comfortable Hypnos mattress. The upstairs accommodation was more basic and rustic with uneven floors from the 14th and 15th century. Minor negatives included a lack of wardrobes, a mattress in the master bedroom which had seen better days, a TV which was small for the size of the sitting room, and too few hand towels, rubbish bags and dishwasher tablets. We all had a good time and enjoyed the history of the place and Weobley.

A fantastic house in a lovely location. Perfect for a family get together. The large garden was great for the kids and dogs. We loved reading about the history of the house and exploring all the different rooms and of course finding the narnia wardrobe!

this is a great house for a large family group. there is plenty of space, a nice garden and a trampoline. the house is well equipped and fitted out. It would be even better with some more comfy sofas in the living room/kitchen which is a great room to sit in - very light and pleasant. The children loved the secret passages
