Family Celebration for a Special Father's Birthday

Our beautiful country house is spacious and comfortable with lovely seating and communal areas which are excellent for get-togethers and celebrations. There is a large garden, private river access and woodland, making it the ideal setting for a family gathering.

Last year a group consisting of members of a family from Leicester and special friends from Cardiff booked Abernant House for a six-night stay.

The son of the family was bringing his elderly parents and family for a treat, to say thank you and also to celebrate the father’s birthday.

Nine adults stayed for the entire time, but guests came up from Cardiff for a garden party one day.

They kindly invited Jo, the Manager, over to share food with them at their garden party – it was delicious vegan Indian food. One cousin was a chef in Cardiff and she also brought an array of incredible cakes.

The family set up a shrine for prayers in the Library complete with flowers and offerings.

The family particularly appreciated having the River Wye at the bottom of the garden – there was plenty of dancing in the river!

All in all, as you can see from the photos, it was a truly joyful, lively and delightful stay!

Abernant House is a unique location, with a plethora of features which make it the perfect place to hold an unusual activity or event. The Manager, Jo, is always delighted to discuss a fully-tailored timetable to suit each group’s particular needs. Our spacious, flexible, private accommodation means that you can come to Abernant confident that your weekend will be a huge success. Read more here about events, extras and bespoke packages:

1. Location – your country house will be in a beautiful location with stunning scenery and breath-taking views. If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind and get away from it all – the British countryside is perfect.

2. Space – when a group of friends and family is away, they want to spend plenty of time together, however it can also be useful to have the option of a bit of space. A country house, featuring a wide variety of rooms and an exceptionally-stocked kitchen with a magnificent table, is superb for socialising into the early hours. It can provide plenty of indoor rooms and outdoor areas for being together – and wandering away for a while too.

3. Relaxation – a country house is truly the ideal place to spread out and relax – large, comfy sofas, spacious yet cosy bedrooms and elegant bathrooms provide a wealth of opportunities to chill out and pamper yourself. Fresh air, plenty of comfortable seating areas and a river at the bottom of the garden allow you to unwind, reconnect with your friends – and with nature.

4. A touch of luxury – if you yearn for a five-star experience, a country house will deliver tons of character, beautiful rooms, classy furnishings, a hint of a historic past and a taste of the elegance of years gone by

5. Flexibility – a country house will provide you with full flexibility so you can have your Hen Party exactly to your taste. Whether you would prefer a Prosecco Party or to host a Murder Mystery! If a Vintage Tea Party is more your style, or making your own wedding favours. If your heart’s desire is to spend a weekend being pampered – or if you’re an adrenaline junkie who just wants to be outdoors! The choice is truly yours and you can have a completely bespoke package.
