I am five foot eight and my wife was five feet four and we both hit our heads on the sloping ceilings we could only stand upright in the middle of the room which spoilt the stay other than that the downstairs was lovely

The lodge is spacious, very clean, warm and very well equipped. We also found a generous welcome basket with goodies for humans and dogs! The lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful setting with a large secure, private garden ideal for all and a large pond full of wild life: moor hens, ducks, birds. We watched the kingfisher from the kitchen window on the first morning and a muntjac zip across the garden. It made our day. The weather was kind to us that week. The lodge is centrally placed for visiting many places of interest. We like a hike and we « conquered » the Malvern Hills from north to south in 3 sections, visited Malvern town, Upton upon Severn, Ledbury and Elgarâs grave. Still plenty to see and weâd love to go back to Byefield.
