Your Country Retreat in the Heart of Herefordshire
A house for families, friends and unforgettable celebrations.
Rowden Abbey is more than a country house stay.
Set within 30 acres of gardens, woodland, and a medieval lake, this late Victorian Arts & Crafts estate is a place for celebration, creativity, and retreat. Here you can stay in historic luxury, host an exclusive wedding, join a clay shoot or retreat, explore heritage tours, or gather for seasonal experiences, all with the warmth of a lived-in family home.
By blending heritage with modern hospitality, Rowden Abbey is becoming one of Herefordshire’s most distinctive private estates.
