Stay at Rowden Abbey – North Wing

A Charming Retreat in the Abbey’s Historic Servants’ Wing

The North Wing of Rowden Abbey offers a stay full of character and history. Originally designed as part of the servants’ quarters, it carries a different atmosphere to the ornate South Wing — simpler in style, yet every bit as welcoming. With William Morris wallpapers, original fireplaces, and a layout made for family life, the North Wing combines comfort and charm in a way that feels timeless.



Sleeping up to 13 guests, it’s a wing with warmth and personality — perfect for relaxed family breaks, country weekends, or time away with friends in a Grade II listed Arts & Crafts setting.

Relax & Recharge

The North Wing is designed for easy living. Share meals in the dining room, let the children settle into the snug, or enjoy a barbecue in the courtyard garden on warm evenings.


The private kitchen makes self-catering effortless, while the wing’s layout allows both togetherness and privacy.

Subtle Character

While less decorative than the South Wing, the North Wing still reflects Rowden Abbey’s history.


Original fireplaces and architectural details remain, softened by William Morris-inspired decoration in the bedrooms.


It’s a wing with a quieter elegance, offering charm and comfort in equal measure.
