Milebrook House is situated in the Teme Valley about a mile and a half to the east of the border town of Knighton. The house is set in amidst the typical wooded, rolling Marches landscape, much of which is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the mountains and moorlands of Wales to the west.

The House

The house is a mature, grey stone building that has been sensitively restored and adapted to the needs of a country hotel. There are ten spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, a residents' sitting room, a lounge bar and an attractive restaurant in which lunch and dinner are available for non-residents.

The resident owners, Rodney and Beryl Marsden, have had more than 20 years' experience in the catering profession. Their hotel has a traditional style, concentrating on informal comfort, attentive but unobtrusive service and fresh, mainly home-grown, ingredients cooked with imagination.

The Gardens

Four acres of grounds surround the house. The productive kitchen garden provides virtually all the vegetables served in the restaurant. To the west are formal gardens which include a remarkable variety of indigenous and exotic trees and plants. To the east are herbaceous borders and kitchen garden, beyond this the paddock which has been planted with over 600 native trees surrounding wildlife pond and bog garden leading to riverside walks, birds and butterflies abound.

The Countryside

Holiday Which? has described the Welsh Marches as 'ideal for touring or activity holidays'. Certainly the scenery offers a variety that few similar regions of Britain can match. The hills to the north and south of Knighton offer pleasant short walks and some spectacular views which are best enjoyed from the well-preserved stretch of Offa's Dyle on Llanfair Hill.

The Heritage centre for the Dyke is situated in Knighton and the energetic might consider tackling the168-mile long footpath or the slightly less challenging Glydwr's Way which wanders 120 miles from its start point at the town's Clock Tower.

The turbulent history of the marches has left numerous picturesque castles and towns all within easy reach of Milebrook. The old marcher capital, Ludlow with its splendid Norman castle, narrow alleys and newly-cleared market square, can justly claim to be one the most beautiful towns in Britain. Even closer at hand are the border townships of Clun, Bishop's Castle, Presteigne and Kington.All have an individual charm and interest with, apart from market days, an underlying peacefulness. The famous bookshops of Hay-on-Wye are a comfortable 22 mile drive to the South of Milebrook. 20 miles to the south-west lies the elegant spa town of Llandrindod Wells which, like Knighton, is served by British Rail's justly celebrated scenic Heart of Wales Line.

For golfers there are courses at Kington (nine holes), Kington and Ludlow. The latter course is laid out on the attractive National Hunt racecourse; trotting races are highly popular in the Kington district.

Milebrook is centrally located in one of the most attractive but least spoiled areas of the country. The combination of varied landscapes and townscapes with the comfort and good food provided at Milebrook House is a guarentee of a restful holiday
