The fridge proved quite a challenge for 8 adults during the Christmas period. A lot of food and drink was left outside in freezer bags or boxes. An additional fridge somewhere (pantry?) would have been very useful. We also had a lot of ladybirds in the bedrooms. We didn’t particularly mind them but other guests may not be so keen. It was however, a very enjoyable Christmas trip for the whole family.

We have been 3 times now, it has been ideal for us to get the family all together for a pre Christmas bash. Everyone got their own bed room and bathroom !! plenty of eating and entertaining locally, this year we missed the Malvern Christmas lights but worth going for. For days out walking off excess of food , would recommend Brockhampton NT and Croome NT.
