We enjoyed a short break in the lodge . Everything you need and very warm and cosy . Lovely location with wonderful country views. The building work nearby did not bother us at all. . The garden is ideal for a dog . We hope to return again .

Lovely location on a private estate, we had a dog with us great walks locally, or just a car drive away you have the Malvern hills. The property was a drive away from any local shops or pubs , which didn’t really bother us. The weather was good sitting outside and having a BBQ was great. The property it self had everything you could wish for.Will certainly be back for another visit.
