Verzon House

Tucked away in the heart of rural Herefordshire, Verzon House is a charming refuge that made a humble beginning as a farmhouse in 1790. The world has changed much in more than two-hundred-years of the hotel's existence but the views it offers over an unspoilt country landscape stretching as far as the Malvern Hills are as pretty as they were years before.

Features such as original cornices, an inlaid staircase and open fireplaces appear alongside modern ensuite bedrooms that are refurbished to a high standard. The hotel's Brasserie welcomes guests with its magnificent Victorian fireplace and earthy colours. Noteworthy is the fact that everything from the bread to the rosemary roasted nuts is made in house. European and modern British dishes all created from locally sourced produce could consist of ravioli of salmon, crab and lobster with tarragon and chive sauce, and a rack of Peter's pork spare ribs roasted in his special sauce with pilau rice and shrimp.

Stop by at The Mulberry Bar for an enjoyable pint of Wye Valley Ale or a light lunch.
