The Heart of England / Peak District / Herefordshire region
Brinsop is a small hamlet within the Wye Valley, at the western edge of the county of Herefordshire. The nearest villages are Tillington, with its very popular Bell pub to the north and Credenhill, home of the SAS to the south.
Brinsop is very close to the famous Offa’s Dyke, Herefordshire Black and White Village trail, Wye Valley Walk, Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons and Hergest Ridge (of Tubular Bells fame!)
The Hereford / Brinsop area
First on the list must be Hereford Cathedral, which houses the oldest map in the world, the Mappa Mundi, alongside the ancient Chained Library. This year the Cathedral proudly hosted the world famous Three Choirs Festival which returns every three years, sharing the event with Worcester & Gloucester Cathedrals all within an hours drive
Next, wander around the world famous book town of Hay-on Wye, enjoy a coffee and visit the shops or better still, spend a week or two at the fascinating and vibrant Hay Literary Festival which is held every year during the month of May!
Other events not be missed in Herefordshire include the Herefordshire Walking Festival held during June and the Herefordshire Film Festival. The Courtyard theatre in Hereford is a light and airy building offering all kinds of theatre, art and comedy, attracting performers from all over the UK. Meanwhile, Malvern Theatre is proud of its reputation for hosting many London shows and plays, when they tour the country.
Brinsop is superbly situated for golfers, it's less than a five minute drive to The Herefordshire Golf Club which offers a challenging 18 holes with absolutely stunning views. Meanwhile, at Burghill Golf Club, which is ten minutes by car, you’ll find a less strenuous game.

Reviews
 31 Aug 2011 |
We stayed for two weeks, partly with family. There's plenty of room to spread out and sound does not travel easily so it's easy to find a quiet refuge should you so wish. The younger generation loved the tennis court and played at every opportunity. We all enjoyed our first experience of croquet and cheated magnificently. For guests with limited mobility, this property is a good choice because you can just step outside the door and take a level walk around the gardens and the moat and enjoy lovely views of the hills beyond so you feel like you're having a day out without having to leave the grounds. The house itself is amazing and has been sensitively modernised so you can enjoy maximum comfort whilst speculating on the all the exciting and dramatic events that must have occurred in the house over the last 700 years or so. Historical information and house plans are provided at the property. Renovation work was going on in two of the other wings of the house but we were not at all disturbed by noise. We were lucky enough to have a guided tour and it was fascinating to see the old chapel and the library with its amazing ceiling. The owner and the estate manager were very friendly and helpful and had plenty of tales to tell about the history of the house, which we found fascinating. The beautiful grounds make it an excellent choice for a laid-back summer holiday but it would also be wonderfully atmospheric for a winter holiday, tucked up in the cosy living room. This really is a unique choice for a holiday. |

This is a gem of a property in the Herefordshire countryside. It is huge and the accomodation is of a very high standard. The gardens are beautiful and the drive up to the house over the moat is just fantastic. The master bedroom is beautiful and all bedrooms have really comfy beds, fluffy towels and dressing gowns. I have been to Tirrells house twice now and intend to return every year. Three families go with three small children and there is plenty or room to either be all together in one room, or have your own space. Booking is really easy and Ann is very helpful. You are left a basket of goodies including tea, coffee, bread, fruit, local jam, cake & flowers. A really nice touch. Almost don't want to put it on trip advisor in case it gets too booked up! |
