Elegant Georgian Hotel set on the edge of the beautiful city of Hereford Originally a grand family home, Aylestone Court has more recently been used as a dentist surgery as well as a dancing and music school. Now Aylestone Court has been lovingly restored to the hotel it is today, offering 6 en suite guest bedrooms, 2 formal dining or function rooms, a licensed bar and guest’s sitting room.

The property has retained many original features such as the pretty shuttered windows, marble fireplaces, sparkling chandeliers and some period antiques. It is discreetly elegant throughout while retaining a cosy homely air. The bedrooms are all en suite, some fitted with baths and all with showers, with modern features including TVs with DVDs and free Wi-Fi. Ample off road parking is provided for all guests and Aylestone Court is only a couple of minutes walk from both the train and bus stations.

The restaurant offers a daily menu for guests and is always open for external bookings. Afternoon tea is served on family china and is the perfect treat to celebrate a special occasion or catch up with friends. Using locally sourced produce wherever possible, Aylestone Court restaurant serves delicious, flavoursome food, carefully prepared by the resident chefs Michael and Adam, and served in our elegant dining room.
