The snug in Fox Cottage makes the perfect movie room for the children to settle in on rainy days, while the adults enjoy their own space.
The properties underwent a stylish renovation using high quality fabrics and furnishings including Farrow and Ball, Laura Ashley, Sanderson, Voyage and Christian Lacroix to produce contemporary and luxurious holiday accommodation where family memories can be made.
We have meadows alongside the River Severn so we are delighted to offer our guests fishing from the riverbanks and the opportunity to 'wild swim'.

Such a beautiful location and both cottages are lovely! Easily fits 16 adults and plenty of seating and tableware for everyone. The outdoor space and surrounding views were beautiful. Didn't have any issues with check in and response from the host was quick. Would highly recommend for a group of friends!

Brilliant place for a family occasion we had a great time together.
Spacious with lots of areas to sit so nobody felt crowded . Plenty of cooking equipment. Plenty of bathrooms. Had been decorated for Christmas so felt warm and welcoming.

Excellent location, beautiful house
We had a fantastic time on a stag here. There were 13 of us and more then enough space, not everyone had to even share a room. The house is in a great location. Total privacy, whilst your at the end of the farm they are far enough away we didn't worry about noise. They were also really kind and lent us some fire and coal. The house itself brilliant. Lots of kitchen and fridge space, a large dining table, and a big outside space perfect for chilling. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. The perfect weather all weekend definitely helped too!
