Boutique & Breakfast

25th April 2016

Westbrook Court is a charming 17th century farmhouse set in five acres of private land. It offers luxurious and tranquil guest accommodation and is located in the stunning Wye Valley in Herefordshire.

Owners, Kari and Chris Morgan, have paid great attention to detail when designing the luxury boutique accommodation, which is situated in the sleek, black timber-clad guest annexe built on the site of the old stables. Kari, who runs her own interior design business www.westbrook-interiors.co.uk has used her experienced skills to create a unique, contemporary look that cleverly juxtaposes old and new. Her signature finishing touches include bespoke statement lights and lamps, supersized canvas art of the grounds at Westbrook Court, and cosy Melin Tregwynt welsh throws and cushions on the sofas and beds. The overall effect is upcycled contemporary with a boutique twist. For guests who like what they see, Kari offers a remote design makeover by email and telephone.
