Church House Kington

I stayed for a night in this charming B&B and it was a real treat. Andrew was very hospitable, offering tea in the afternoon and a delicious cooked breakfast in the morning. It's a beautiful old building and gardens, incredibly peaceful. I hope I'll find myself there again.

This is not a super efficient , well practised operation. Our room was at the very top of the house and was much more ‘you can sleep in my son’s old room’ than a well designed couples retreat. However sometimes the sum of the experience is far, far greater than its parts. Lovely host, fascinating house, garden would be worth an explore. Breakfast was good. All in all,an experience not to be missed.

We loved our short stay this week at Church House whilst visiting nearby Hay-on-Wye. Really warm welcome to us both and Ted, lovely room, stunning house and gardens and great breakfast in the morning . We would definitely stay again and would recommend to others

There can be no better experience of personalised, generous hospitality in such a magnificent home! Be sure to read all through the entertaining information sheet. Could have spent months there reading through the intriguing and enlightening books. We thank the hosts for sharing a snapshot of their life with us privileged guests. And the breakfast reached a pinnacle of quality, with plenty of home produce. We had never previously tasted such superb berry compote!

We had an exquisite time staying at the church house. I loved the two hosts and wished I could have stayed longer to get to know them better. Our favorite part was upon eating the pumpkin bread we were offered, Andrew asked if we’d like more. We looked at each other, clearly wanting more but weren’t sure if it was socially acceptable to get it. Immediately sensing that hesitation, he said yes, you clearly want more. Apart from that the place is close to town and the old church. It has a really nice garden with tulips that were in full bloom. Breakfast featured a black current jam that was incredible as well as fresh rhubarb both from the garden. Other highlights include a comfortable bed, lots of books (like a full library’s worth), and bird paintings on the wall. It was our favorite stop on the trip.

My vegan friend and I stayed here whilst walking Offa's Dyke, so we arrived weary with very muddy boots. We were soon cosy by the fire, being served tea and cake, surrounded by books and a piano to tinkle on! Liz and Andrew were gracious, welcoming hosts; friendly without being intrusive. Morning tea was left outside our bedroom door, with a discreet knock, before we descended for breakfast with apple juice pressed from their own apples, and homemade jam and marmelade. Vegan and carnivore were both well catered for with the full breakfast! The house itself is beautiful, as is the garden, and it's a short walk downhill into the village for evening meal and pub. There's an interesting church across the road, and you're right on the Offa's Dyke route. I would love to return.
