The Colloquy, Herefordshire

The Colloquy is a very large and chic retreat for a family celebration, a university re-union or a big birthday. It also provides a contemporary location for corporate retreats, board meetings, management courses or executive training.

Bedrooms vary in size and shape but not, we think, comfort.     Bathrooms or wetrooms are more generously proportioned than many ordinary bedrooms; king size pocket sprung beds and Egyptian cotton linen are the rule.

Three of the bedrooms have mezzanine galleries, two have their own kitchen (and the two other pairs share one each). So there’s no need to pad downstairs if you fancy an impromptu midnight feast.

Additional accommodation of the same high quality is available adjacent to The Colloquy and elsewhere on the Whittern Estate – ask for details or see our other website.
