Overview
Property code: 77863

This large traditional farmhouse can accommodate up to 19 adults and 5 children across nine bedrooms, making this the perfect destination for family gatherings or reunions with friends. With 5 acres of grounds, including a children's play area, there is plenty of space for al fresco dining and garden games. Host a private party in the barn, have a BBQ, or soak under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub. The inside of the property is equally impressive with four reception rooms and a fabulous dining room for celebratory meals. Located within the Golden Valley there are walks straight from the doorstep through the beautiful countryside, and the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains are only a short drive away.

 

Boasting a host of original features and traditional charm, this extended 17th-century farmhouse and converted stables offers spacious accommodation with a luxurious finish. Relax in the squishy sofas of the main lounge and enjoy cocktails in the more formal second living room. Play a board game in the library-style reception and find a quiet moment in the cosy first-floor snug. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen - there’s extra preparation space in the large utility room too. Share meals in the formal dining room where the elegant table can accommodate all guests. There’s a handy wet room with WC on the ground floor. Heading upstairs, you will find four indulgent king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom. There is also a fabulous bathroom with clawfoot bath on this level. A further five en-suite bedrooms can be found in the detached stable block, four of which are made up of living rooms with bedrooms on a mezzanine above. The farmhouse is situated within 5 acres which you are free to roam. An outdoor seating area and brick built BBQ is great for sociable meals if you wish to dine outside. Toast marshmallows around the fire pit area, soak your limbs in the wood-fired hot tub and let off steam in the games room within the red brick barn. There is also a children's play area and allocated parking for up to ten cars.

What a venue! Westbrook Court will fit the bill for any large gathering. We had a party of 16-18 for the weekend, celebrating a 40th Birthday in late March. Everyone was comfortable and able to share the space with ease. It really ticked all the boxes for us. Our party was entirely adults, so the 9 king sized bedrooms were perfect for us. The venueRead more offers cot/beds for children though. We all, would stay at Westbrook again, whether for the weekend or for longer next time. Thanks for having us. Hide

We booked Westbrook House for a family celebration as it offered all the practical elements we were looking for as well as being beautifully presented and in a stunning location. We were not disappointed - the house and grounds really are as beautiful as they look in the photographs as well as being fully equipped with everything you could want forRead more a family weekend. The house and annex are both warm and welcoming, managing to be spacious and cosy at the same time. Highly recommended. Hide
