Perfect place to stay

Arrived on a very rainy day and were able to dry off in front of a log burner with a relaxing glass of wine. Staff were all very friendly. Room was perfect to house us and our dog - very clean. The evening meal and breakfast were delicious. We will be back to stay again.
Dog Friendly Short Breaks

Sharing time with friends.

I hired 2 pods to have a special time away with ‘working’ friends. This was the perfect break away for all of us. Peaceful environment with stars at night, fire pit , BBQ, walking the Malvern hills by day, exploring local historic town and enjoying living in nature amongst the farm animals. The second night we met some like minded campers around the fire pit which added to the fun. The distance to get there was manageable from the South and on return 2 of us went by train which is only 15 minutes away. We all felt we would love to come again and do more walking and exploring.
