Whitebrook House Wales

Country life where Wales meets England

Whitebrook House is a country idyll almost equidistant between the Shropshire town of Whitchurch and the Welsh border. Take a break and enjoy the best of all worlds in a classic Georgian house with two acres of manicured grounds and gentle rural views.

Inside, an autumnal palette reveals cosy spaces that hit the sweet spot between formal elegance and homely comfort. It’s a kind of rustic luxury that encompasses exposed brickwork, soft leather sofas and open fires. What you’ll also discover is lots of options for dining – which is, after all, one of the most important aspects of any holiday. Cooking for a crowd is a delight with the four-oven Aga and you can eat at the loooong kitchen table or in the breakfast room.

If the interiors evoke autumn, outside is forever summer. Along with a covered area for dining and relaxing together, there is an outdoor courtyard terrace for al fresco meals, and further seating areas dotted around, allowing you to catch the sun or have a quiet moment. Outside too, is the barbecue, the hot tub and the pretty gardens, planted with roses, lavender and neat box hedges.

With eight ensuite bedrooms sleeping up to 23 guests in total, Whitebrook House is ideal if you have families with children in the group, with many of the double bedrooms having additional beds in them.

From this tranquil hideaway, venture into North Wales for Chirk Castle, the amazing Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, and Clwydian Range & Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Or book into one of the many fabulous eateries on your doorstep in Whitchurch, such as Michelin-starred Docket 33.
