1. Coughton Court
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,175 reviews
Coughton Court has been home to the Throckmorton family for 600 years, this finest of Tudor houses stands testament to a family's courage in maintaining their beliefs. From a position of high favour to one of fear and oppression post-Reformation, the Throckmortons were leaders in a dangerous age, helping to bring about Catholic emancipation in the 19th century. Explore this story of fascinating personalities through the 'family album' of portraits and Catholic treasures around the house. Coughton is still very much a family home with an intimate feel: the Throckmorton family live here, managing the stunning gardens which they have created.

Lovely place to visit the house is interesting with the history linking it to Guy Fawkes, the guides are knowledgeable and there are also talks outside at various times. For me the gardens are the draw, with the different areas leading from each other. The labyrinth is one of my favourites with the beautiful roses throuhout. The bog garden is well worth visit though still work in progress with lots of different plants and ferns with gazebo to sit and enjoy the quiet. My local National Trust property so visit frequently always something different to see.

A very visual and hands on spacious museum relating to a very interesting town of Alcester with video presentations , good exhibits , and a museum guide who is full of interest and knowledge and is on call if you wish to ask any questions. It seemed perfect for all ages , especially children and the staff are helpful . There is also a lovely public libtary run by the local council authority which is open to everyone .

Spa day far exceeded my expectations, son had bought as groupon gift. lovely time around pool which was surprisingly fairly busy, afternoon tea was excellent with possibly best scones I have ever eaten. Spa treatments were excellent, therapist was very friendly and very good at her job. all staff around hotel were very friendly and seemed to be enjoying their jobs. Would definitely recommend and hope to return
