Set on a peaceful smallholding where horses and sheep graze and surrounded by the gorgeous Worcestershire countryside, this homely retreat offers sumptuous accommodation to small families and couples. An annexe of the friendly owners’ home, the cottage is a haven for walkers hoping to uncover the rolling countryside, starting with the popular Worcestershire Way which passes in nearby Shelsley Beauchamp (7 miles). Another well-known route, particularly for cyclists, is the scenic Three Rivers Ride, which you can join in Stanford Bishop (12 miles).
Only a short drive away to plenty of well-known attractions, you can discover nature at the Wyre Forest (9 Miles) or try its Go-Ape high ropes adventure course (recommend to pre-book). A favourite for families is to board a steam train at the famous Severn Valley Railway in Bewdley (14 miles) or spend a day at the West Midland Safari Park (15 miles). For more local adventures, visit the welcoming village of Broadheath (1 mile) where a popular microbrewery awaits, while the vibrant town of Tenbury Wells (6 miles) showcases charming streets of listed buildings, independent shops and inviting places to eat and drink. More popular local hotspots with plenty of history to discover include Leominster and Ludlow, both of which are within 17.5 miles and Bewdley, a riverside market town (12 miles).
Before stepping inside this pretty cottage, take a moment to appreciate the surrounding landscape of rolling fields and tranquil woodlands. Head on in to find that the Worcestershire charm continues in the airy lounge/diner. Here, dual-aspect windows frame verdant views while crisp wooden flooring sets a stylish feel to what is the social heart of the home. Sink into the soft seating and flick on the Smart TV after days of rural rambling, and when stomachs begin to rumble, set the dining table behind you and walk through to the well-appointed country-style kitchen. Find all the space and amenities here to whip up well-deserved feasts for your loved ones, as well a convenient space in the form of an adjoining utility room – perfect for kicking off mucky walking boots. When day turns to night, choose from two charming bedrooms, for lazy mornings under the duvet. The first option is on the ground floor, a flexible super king-size room that can also be arranged with 2 twin beds on request and features a well-equipped en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is up on the first floor, accessed through a quiet reading nook and workspace on the landing. This master room boasts a king-size sleigh bed, beautiful countryside views and a convenient en-suite shower room.
A beautiful and peaceful garden awaits outside – enclosed for the safety of children – which benefits from the splendid countryside views. When the weather is kind, use the outdoor furniture to dine alfresco together, always keeping your eyes peeled for local wildlife. Guests will also find off-road private parking for up to three cars.
