For some, it’s uninterrupted countryside views and complete peace and quiet. For others, it’s gathering family around one table, celebrating with friends or enjoying uninterrupted time together. Sometimes, it’s simply knowing every detail has been carefully considered before you arrive.
At Scenic Stays Herefordshire, luxury isn’t about extravagance. It’s about beautifully maintained properties, exceptional cleanliness, thoughtful design, outstanding facilities and genuinely personal service from the family who created – and continues to personally manage – every property.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family holiday, a special celebration or a countryside retreat with friends, our collection of six award-recognised properties has been designed to create memorable stays you’ll want to return to.
Luxury isn’t defined by one spectacular feature. It’s built through hundreds of thoughtful decisions that come together to make every stay feel effortless.
Scenic Stays Herefordshire remains proudly family owned and personally managed. Liz Pursey welcomed the first guests to Trevase Granary in 2007, and Sarah Pursey has since developed the collection to include Old Barn House and Bettws Court Retreats. Today, Sarah personally oversees all six properties, supported by a small team who know every property inside out and genuinely care about every stay.
Rather than dealing with a large management company or call centre, you’ll be speaking directly to people who know the properties, understand the local area and take genuine pride in helping guests create memorable stays.
Luxury is often found in the smallest details.
Every property is carefully maintained to exceptionally high standards, with quality furnishings, luxury linens, thoughtfully equipped kitchens and carefully selected finishing touches throughout.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll find beautifully presented accommodation that reflects the pride we take in every property. It’s no surprise that exceptional cleanliness and attention to detail are among the comments we receive most often from guests.
We continue to invest across the collection every year, from major improvements such as cinema rooms, air conditioning, EV charging and accessibility features to ongoing maintenance and the smaller enhancements that help every stay feel exceptional.
Each property has been thoughtfully designed with its own unique combination of facilities. Across the collection, you’ll find private hot tubs and fresh-water double spa baths, cinema rooms, games rooms, bar areas, pizza ovens, spacious dining areas, beautifully equipped kitchens, panoramic countryside views and generous outdoor spaces, creating places where guests naturally spend quality time together.
Whether you’re celebrating with family, escaping as a couple or enjoying a weekend with friends, every property has been designed to make spending time together effortless.
Our six properties are spread across four peaceful countryside locations in South Herefordshire, each offering its own character while sharing the same sense of space, tranquillity and beautiful surroundings. Wake to birdsong, enjoy panoramic countryside views, watch wildlife from your window, walk directly into the surrounding countryside or simply relax with nowhere else to be.
Sometimes luxury isn’t about doing more. It’s about having the freedom to do less.
Our commitment to quality has been recognised by VisitEngland, including a national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence Silver Award. Together with hundreds of five-star reviews from guests who return year after year, the recognition reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional accommodation, outstanding facilities and consistently high standards across every stay.
