## About The Property

Positioned between Hereford and Hay on Wye, this collection of 3 award winning properties offers an exclusive and inspiring setting for mid week corporate retreats, leadership gatherings, executive workshops and strategic planning sessions. Surrounded by more than 2 acres of private grounds, the estate combines luxury accommodation, flexible meeting spaces and a peaceful rural atmosphere that encourages focus, creativity and productive discussion away from the demands of the office.

At the heart of the estate, Monnington House provides a range of versatile spaces designed to bring teams together. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for large groups and features a substantial central island, creating a natural hub for informal meetings, refreshments and collaborative conversations. Adjacent to the kitchen, the impressive dining room seats up to 24 guests around a long refectory table, working equally well for group dining, presentations, meetings and workshops. Several comfortable breakout areas include a snug, drawing room and television room. Ideal areas for smaller meetings or simply taking time to reflect between activities.

Outside, the extensive grounds provide opportunities for team building, informal networking and relaxation. Large lawns, a playing field with football goals, a games room with pool table and table football, and a separate table tennis room, offer a variety of ways for colleagues to unwind and connect. Yoga on the large lawns can be arranged. Walking from the door provides the opportunity to take a breather.

A total of 12 beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, offer delegates privacy and comfort.

Catering can be organised on request, and there’s a fabulous farm shop at the top of the lane.

The surrounding Wye Valley offers a wealth of opportunities to enhance a corporate retreat, from quad biking at Weobley and team canoeing at Byecross, to cultural visits. Nearby Hay on Wye, the world’s first Book Town, is home to independent bookshops, literary events, galleries and cafés.
