The Coach House at Rowden Abbey
A Private Self-Catering Hideaway
Located at the far end of the driveway to the main house, the Coach House offers a peaceful, self-contained retreat within the grounds of Rowden Abbey. This one-bedroom apartment combines historic character with modern comfort, making it perfect for solo travellers, couples, or guests seeking a little extra privacy.
With open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, the Coach House has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed countryside stays. Enjoy morning coffee on your private decking overlooking secluded woodland, spend slow afternoons exploring the Abbey’s gardens and grounds, and return to a quiet haven that feels entirely your own.
Relax & Recharge
The Coach House is a light-filled space to slow down and breathe. With its open-plan layout and soft, natural tones, it’s designed for comfort and calm. Cook in the well-equipped kitchen, linger over dinner at the farmhouse table, or curl up on the sofa by the window as the light fades through the trees.
After a day exploring Herefordshire’s countryside, retreat to the restful bedroom and unwind with a soak in the deep bath or a refreshing shower. With nature just beyond the windows, every stay feels restorative and unhurried.
