Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, strategy meeting, board away day, team-building event or rewarding colleagues for a successful year, changing the environment often encourages fresh thinking, stronger relationships and more productive conversations.
At Scenic Stays Herefordshire, Penblaith Barn and Trevase Granary provide exclusive-use accommodation ideal for bringing teams together. Unlike many large group properties, both offer eight en-suite bedrooms, giving teams of up to eight guests their own private bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Larger teams can still enjoy individual beds, with Trevase Granary accommodating up to 14 guests and Penblaith Barn up to 15 guests, ensuring everyone has their own bed.
Spend the morning planning, the afternoon exploring Herefordshire or taking part in team-building activities, then finish the day with a private chef, relaxed dinner together or an evening making the most of the cinema room, games room, hot tub or bar. It’s a refreshing alternative to the traditional conference hotel.
Successful business retreats balance productive work with time to relax, recharge and build stronger relationships. Our properties have been thoughtfully designed to help your team do exactly that.

Work Hard. Dine Together.
Whether you hire a private chef, arrange chef-prepared meals before your arrival or split into teams to cook together, sharing a meal becomes an enjoyable part of the retreat.
Time Away from the Table
Step outside for countryside walks, team-building activities or simply some fresh air before returning with a fresh perspective for the afternoon.
Relax Together
When the working day is done, enjoy cinema rooms, games rooms, hot tubs and private bar areas, giving colleagues time to unwind together in a relaxed setting.
Easy Logistics
Generous private parking and peaceful countryside locations make arriving, settling in and enjoying your stay straightforward.
Every business retreat is different, which is why we’ve partnered with a range of trusted local suppliers to help you create an itinerary that works for your team.
Morning might begin with strategy sessions or presentations around the dining table, followed by lunch prepared by a private chef or delivered before your arrival. Your team can then choose to stay at the property for activities such as laser clay shooting, a cookery workshop or a team challenge, or head out to explore Herefordshire with canoeing, vineyard tours, countryside walks or dinner at one of the area’s excellent pubs and restaurants. Trusted taxi and minibus companies make travelling together simple before returning to the property to relax for the evening.
