The Albion Ryder Cup Experience

The House

The mansion is Grade I listed and is a most unusual historic house. Paneled rooms, magnificent staircases, delightful garden and 400 acres of grounds, breathtaking views, private woodland walks and a lofty position at the far end of a half mile long drive.

Situated in one of the most beautiful corners of Wales the house offers atmosphere, privacy and a very different experience for the discerning visitor.

Step back into the 17th century in one of the finest unspoilt mansions in South Wales, four miles from the historic market town of Monmouth.

It has been a family home from the very start and in the 17th century, a catholic and royalist one - the priest's hole on the first landing bears evidence to the dangers of its recusant past.

But be reminded the house is an utterly unspoilt architectural masterpiece, It is a robust and beautiful example of another age.

The facilities are comfortable and the rooms magnificent but they are what you would expect from a 17th century building.

Though all rooms except the third floor have central heating, it is still a place for sensible clothes and warm fires in winter.

Accomodation

The house can sleep up to 24 people but there are 7 main double bedrooms some with four poster beds:
