Hop Pickers’ House - Self-catering cottage in Worcestershire
Berrington, Tenbury Wells, WR15 8TJ, Worcestershire
England,
Royaume-Uni
Down winding country lanes in the depths of the Welsh Marches, an Elizabethan farmhouse sitting in nine acres and surrounded by attractive barns. The Hop Pickers' House was used by the hop workers, and it sits at right angles to an open barn. Step in to find an airy feel, open-plan upstairs and down, with white walls, old beams, wooden floors and a charming mix of pretty china, comfy chairs, throws and jugs of flowers. The kitchen area is cosy and rustic with a painted dresser, pine table for four and wood-burner (plenty of logs); you'll find milk in the fridge, cake, jam and, of course, apple juice. Hop up painted stairs to a big four-poster with diaphanous drapes - be lulled to sleep by the hoot of an owl, the bleat of a lamb. Stroll through woodlands, wild flowers, fern gulley and orchards; rest by a babbling brook. In a distant corner with a view of the setting sun is a makeshift barbecue. The owners are in the farm next door through a rose-strewn pergola but you'll feel very private. Lovers will purr with happiness here, walkers too, and cooks can stock up with food from famous Ludlow only 15 minutes away. A mouth-watering snug of a nest.

Local points of interest from Steven Hickling & Stephen Snead:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Steven Hickling & Stephen Snead:
- We're a stone's throw from Ludlow, described by Sir John Betjeman as “probably the loveliest town in England”. It boasts a majestic castle, stunning Georgian architecture, fantastic markets (almost every day) and exceptional places to eat.
- Enjoy the peace and seclusion of nearly nine acres of gardens, meadows, woodland and of course, the brook. Perfect for a stroll with the dog, listening to the birds, lying in the sun...or a beautiful place to just be.
- Our local town, Tenbury Wells is known as the “town in the orchard”, an ideal place for sampling local cider or juice. Tenbury also has a lovely selection of independent shops and a striking art-deco theatre / cinema, The Regal.
- Hop Pickers’ House is a beautiful refurbishment of the old travelling hop pickers’ barn accommodation, an integral part of county life in this area for centuries. A finalist in the UK Staycation Awards.
- There are spectacular gardens in the area - Berrington Hall, Stockton Bury and the walled garden at Croft Castle. Also, beautiful Stockton Bury. Or follow the Black & White Villages Trail, through some of England's prettiest villages.
- Pensons at the Netherwood Estate, one of the country’s top restaurants, and focusing on seasonal food (with a Michelin green star for sustainability) is just a few miles away.
