Rose Barn Birts Street, Worcestershire

Holiday Rental Description

We have just the ticket if you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a small family escape. This secluded Malvern Hills lodge (handcrafted by your host, Richard) is surrounded by rolling countryside. Relax in the wood-fired hot tub with a glass of local cider, or simply admire the panoramic hilltop views from the terraced gardens. The garden is on three levels with beautiful Cotswold dry stone retaining walls, hornbeam hedges and rose-planted borders. In the summer, picnic on the lawn or unwind in the oak-framed, covered swing seat. Then cook up a feast in the outdoor cooking area with its barbecue and wood pellet pizza oven.

Every detail has been carefully considered – even the furniture is individually crafted. Spend the evening snuggled up by the log burner, then get a good night’s sleep in the comfy bedrooms. We love the recycled wood panelling here. In the morning, wake up refreshed in this tranquil haven and see the light streaming through the bedroom’s roof light overhead.

After breakfast, go for a stroll in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or explore the Victorian spa town of Malvern. Other places of interest include Upton upon Severn, Ledbury and Tewkesbury. Alternatively, the Forest of Dean is only a half-hour drive away. Or for a pub lunch, the nearest pub is a 200-yard stroll through the fields.
