Castle House hotel is a Grade II listed Georgian villa, in a quiet part of the city of Hereford, just yards from Hereford Cathedral. The hotel is owned by a local family that has farmed in the county for more than 130 years. Hereford's only boutique hotel, Castle House has a two rosette restaurant headed by Executive Head Chef Claire Nicholls, who has been at the helm for 12 years. Herefordshire has a plethora of artisan food suppliers, so much of the seasonal produce is sourced locally, or from the family's Ballingham Hall farm and kitchen garden.

Castle House's calendar of events is jammed full of interesting workshops and epicurean evenings from September until Christmas.  Take your pick from a celebration of the best Louis Roderer Champagnes to jewellery-making, a private tour of Sir Roy Strong's Laskett Gardens, an exploration of historic textiles, a charity lunch with the irresistible Larry Lamb interviewed by Francine Stock, festive shopping and special Christmas celebrations.
