The Manor House at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel is now available to hire

A grand red brick building with a cathedral attached to it

Set in 26 acres of extensive gardens, Stanbrook Abbey Hotel is renowned as one of Worcestershire’s best-kept secrets. This luxury hotel, dating back to the early 16th century, is a former Grade II-listed monastery with preserved heritage through its original architecture.

Couples can now stay at the Manor House, a self-contained five-bedroom hideaway bursting with period features and nestled within Stanbrook Abbey’s peaceful grounds. Celebrate in style, or simply escape for a one-of-a-kind self-catering break in the Worcestershire countryside.

Privacy and luxury go hand in hand here, making it ideal for extended families and groups of up to 10 people looking for a short break in the UK. With two, five, or seven night breaks, you can become lord or lady of the manor for as long as you desire.

There will be a whole host of goodies and surprises to welcome you, such as two bottles of chilled champagne, a welcome hamper full of homely favourites, handmade chocolates, and much more. Plus, there are a range of experiences available to make your stay entirely bespoke, from cocktail making in the wine cellars to themed sleepovers and tipis for the children.
