About Kiln Barn

Kiln Barn is a converted, single-storey barn on the Brockhampton estate, in a cluster of 18th-century farm buildings and hop kilns, used for storing and drying hops in the brewing process. It’s full of interesting features, with exposed beams, an uneven cobbled floor and large windows veiled by slatted wooden screens. The curved, brick wall of the neighbouring kiln creates the sitting area’s wall, where you'll have a comfortable place to relax by the woodburner.

There are miles of footpaths to explore on the estate, and you’ll have free entry here, as well as at all other National Trust properties, during your stay. Brockhampton has a moated manor house portraying life through the eras, over 65 acres of orchards and expansive woodland, parkland and farmland across 1,700 acres.

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-Severn, a pretty Georgian canal town.

Kiln Barn, Hop Kiln Farmhouse (sleeps 10), Hop Kiln Mews (sleeps two), and Hop Kiln Cart Barn (sleeps four) can be booked together.
