BED AND BREAKFAST: A ground floor ensuite bed and breakfast room in our half-timbered, thatched late Tudor cottage (ie. built between 1585 and 1603). The cottage is in a very quiet rural location approximately midway between Ledbury and Malvern. It has low ceilings and doorways. The large informal cottage garden includes a view of Coddington Church and the surrounding hills.
Fiona: a countrywoman, whose interests are gardening, animals, birds, wildlife and the countryside, and Peter: an engineer who loves motorbikes, guitars and sailing.
Guests enjoy walking and riding in the Wye Valley (Goodrich Castle, Tintern Abbey and Symmonds Yat) and Malvern Hills (the Worcestershire Beacon and British Camp) and visiting Eastnor Castle, The Brockhampton Estate, Berrington Hall, The Weir Garden, Croft Castle and Parkland, Morgan Cars, The Malvern Festival Theatre, Westons Cider Mill, Worcester Porcelain Museum, Croome Court, and the cathedrals at Worcester and Hereford (home of the Mappa Mundi). There is a large calendar of events at the Malvern Showground, including the Spring Garden Show, Royal Agricultural Show, and Autumn Show, regular antiques fairs and so much more. Annual local events include the Ledbury Poetry, Hay Book and Welland Steam Festivals and Tewkesbury Medieval Festival with it's thrilling battle re-enactments.
