We are located on the Whittern Estate in North Herefordshire, which has been in my family for 4 generations. Traditionally the farm was a mixed arable farm but over the generations we have planted 200 acres of fruit. This includes blackurrants that we grow for Ribena (around 5% of their fruit comes from us!) and cider apples that we grow for Bulmers. During the years, I have been diversified into other areas, and we now also produce our famous British Cassis! We have appeared with the Hairy Bikers, in a lengthy piece on Countryfile, all about Herefordshire. I am a regular promoter of our beautiful county – the best kept secret in England!
The properties themselves, at the heart of our beautiful estate, are the original buildings for the gardeners and the estate blacksmith; and the old stables are where my great grandmother’s carriages and favourite horses were stabled (now The Colloquy). In addition to this, I am very keen to protect this beautiful Herefordshire countryside; and the numerous footpaths that have been cut around our 700 acre estate for our guests to use pass ponds, field margins and wildflower mixes, which are all part of a Higher Level Stewardship scheme.
WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
AMAZING 30TH BIRTHDAY – Myself and 39 friends stayed in the Colloquy and surrounding houses for my 30th Birthday. Mel and her team did everything possible to make sure that our stay was as wonderful as possible. It was amazing to find a property where we could all fit in one space and have dinner each evening over the 3 nights we were there.  There is so much space, with every amenity you can think of and the rooms are all beautiful. The grounds are even more stunning and it is the perfect place to hold a big celebration. Thank you so much for having us – we can`t recommend this place more. Bruno Mackenzie and guestsÂ
A FAMILY CHRISTMAS OT REMEMBER – The house was so warm and welcoming when we arrived and a hamper of goodies was very appreciated. It was great to meet Mel and get extra information. We had a private chef to cook Christmas dinner, serving canapes in the clock tower room, he was most impressed with the facilities in the black kitchen and wanted for nothing, the attention to detail was obvious. Communication from booking to arrival was faultless and I would recommend White Properties without hesitation. The Eyden family
