The Great House
No. 40 (5968)
Situated on the edge of the pretty black and white village of Dilwyn in Herefordshire, The Great House offers luxury bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation that bowls guests over with its beauty, comfort and quiet splendour. Given that Charles II is reputed to have danced on the landing, it is perhaps not surprising that guests are offered a welcome fit for a king! The older part of the house dates to 1550.
The flag-stoned hall with its huge fireplace, beams and panelling opens on to a galleried oak staircase hung with family portraits. The accommodation is furnished throughout with sumptuous fabrics, antiques and paintings. B&B guests have their own elegant sitting room and the luxury accommodation bedrooms overlook the garden, open under the National Gardens Scheme. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the yew walk, rose garden and intricate knot garden.
