About Hop Kiln Farmhouse

Jam-packed with character, Hop Kiln Farmhouse is an 18th-century brick house on the Brockhampton Estate, with its former hop kilns and barns still in place. It has many original features, including tiles, beams and fireplaces, and generously-sized rooms so everyone can relax comfortably together. 

You’ll have free entry at all National Trust properties during your stay, including Brockhampton's moated manor house portraying life through the eras. The estate spans 1,700 acres, with the largest orchards in the care of the National Trust, expansive woodland, parkland and farmland.

Bromyard, a market town with a high street full of independent cafés, shops and pubs, is a couple of miles away. Further afield, explore the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Stourport-on-Seven, a pretty Georgian canal town.
