Back to the Farm Egdon, Worcestershire

Holiday Rental Description

Escape the city in style at this palatial farmhouse, nestled within the Malvern Hills and yet just a ten-minute drive from historic Worcester.

This 300-year-old abode makes quite the first impression as you roll into its impressive private driveway. And things only get better inside. Spread out over three storeys, with bedrooms generously spaced apart across two floors - there's heaps of space to spill out here.

Mornings call for freshly brewed coffees on the vast sunny veranda while kids and furry friends run amuck on the lawns - there's an acre of land to explore. Then sit back in the hot tub and soak up the countryside vistas for a while (the sightseeing can wait), as horses and sheep trot on by.

In the evening, come together in the sociable living areas beside wood-burning stoves to break out the board games, while others cook up a feast on the Aga cooker. Or slope away to a cosy nook in the separate sitting room with a good book for some quiet time.

When it's time to explore the great outdoors, a gate leads you directly onto the rolling green hills, perfect for country walks or bike rides. Or nip across to one of the Cotswolds picture-perfect villages for a spot of afternoon tea (thirty-minute drive).
