This is a cosy, well equipped and delightful barn conversion in a super setting . Attractive and tidy surroundings make for a restful stay but there are many places of interest within easy reach. The local farm shop ( Revills) is an excellent source of produce and provides first rate meals too. We look forward to future visits. Many thanks to Tara and Paul for their hospitality.

The accommodation was very clean, well equipped, beautifully decorated and our lurcher Willow loved the big garden too. The Old Piggery is perfectly located to explore the Worcester/Gloucester/Herefordshire countryside and given that it was early December we got super lucky with the weather and could go for some long walks around the Malvern Hills and Bredon Hill.
