Swan Cottage

Stay with friends or family at this welcoming holiday cottage surrounded by patchwork fields and sweeping views of the Malvern Hills – a dream setting for those looking to mix outdoor adventure with laid-back countryside living. The Malvern Hills and nearby Bromyard Downs offer trails for all abilities, from gentle rambles to more challenging hikes with panoramic views.

Water lovers can take to the local rivers and canals for scenic strolls, paddleboarding and picnics. The cathedral cities of Worcester (8 miles) and Hereford (22 miles) are steeped in history, with fascinating architecture, museums, and bustling independent shops and cafes.

National Trust gems nearby include the Brockhampton Estate (7 miles) – a moated manor with orchards and woodland walks – and Croome Court (15 miles) with its stunning parkland designed by Capability Brown. Head to Bewdley (17.5 miles), home of the Severn Valley Steam Railway, where you can step back in time on a vintage train ride.

Step into this beautifully presented home via a charming canopy porch and into a spacious reception hall, setting the tone for your stay. At the heart of the house is a lovely open-plan lounge and dining area, complete with an inglenook fireplace and a wood burner – the ideal spot to curl up after a day exploring the Worcester countryside.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay, whether you're preparing a laid-back family meal or entertaining friends. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a double room and a third room with twin beds all thoughtfully furnished for a restful night’s sleep.

A gleaming family bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower rounds off the upper floor. Step outside into the beautifully landscaped garden for your morning coffee or a spot of al fresco dining.
