In the Welsh Marches, down winding lanes, a delightful refurbished hop pickers' house - romantic bolthole for 2. Friendly owners, too

Read guest comments

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:

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.

"We had a lovely week at Hop Pickers House. It is truly beautiful accommodation in a beautiful part of the country. Very thoughtful welcome local produce taster was awaiting us. Great location, lots to see and do. A visit to the restored Art Deco Regal cinema in Tenbury Wells is a must. Would highly recommend staying at Hop Pickers. We hope to return at some point.....even in the winter, as it will be very cosy with the wood burner blazing! "

"We stayed at the wonderful Hop Pickers' House for a long, relaxing and wonderful week. It was everything and more than we were expecting from a rustic and rural cottage in the lush green countryside of Worcestershire. The cottage achieved an incredible balance of being rustic and cosy - matching rocking chairs in front of a woodburner - whilst also being immaculately clean (I tried very hard to find a cob web but couldn't spot a single one!). Stephen and Steven were great hosts - both unobtrusive and incredibly helpful at the same time. Their great advice/ideas made my proposal fab!! Grateful!"

"Beautiful place, immaculately presented - the owners have thought of everything and the house couldn't have been cosier or more welcoming. Really nice extra touches like blankets for the dog and local bread, jam and apple juice when you arrive made us feel really welcome. Lovely setting and Steven and Stephen couldn't have been more welcoming hosts - would thoroughly recommend!"

"This is such a delightful place to stay. Every attention has been given to the design and accommodation. We stayed in the henhouse for our 'baby moon ' and it couldn't have been more perfect. Comfy bed, cosy log burner, a fridge stocked with tasty local brekkie produce, and so easy to come and go as you please to see the beautiful countryside or pop into Ludlow, or one of the local pubs. Or simply have a wonder through the stunning gardens where chickens roam about. Will definitely be back "

"We had a truly wonderful stay at The Hen House. The cottage is romantic and superbly equipped, with extra touches like organic hair products, fresh breakfast ingredients, and vases of lavender and sweet peas adding to the charm. The garden is magnificent, there are friendly animals (donkeys, chickens, cats, a gentle dog), and the best view of the stars I've ever had. We felt secluded but well looked after, nestled in complete privacy but with everything we needed. Highly recommended."
