Tenbury Wells 5.9 miles.
Rock Cottage is a blissful and relaxing rural retreat, nestled in the charming town of Hatfield near Tenbury Wells, with immediate access to views, walks and rides across breathtaking countryside, no noise or light pollution, so skies are full of stars at night.
This is a cottage for all seasons, with views of lambs & blossom in the next door orchard in spring, hazy sunny rolling green fields & trees in summer, before harvest and ploughing of red soil & autumn leaves by October.
After parking up, take the weight off your feet in the homely sitting area, complete with woodburning stove where you and your loved ones can curl up on cooler evenings and delight in some light entertainment on the TV; allow the designated chef of the group to get to grips with a suitable range of appliances in the kitchen, sure to ease your self-catered stay, before settling down at the dining table.
If you prefer to bask in your surroundings a little longer, venture out into the enclosed garden to saviour an alfresco affair in amongst your tranquil surroundings, planning your itinerary for the days ahead until the stars appear.
When sleep calls, freshen up with a long soak or warm shower in the ground-floor bathroom before retreating to either a super-king-size or twin bedroom to rest your head.
When you fancy eating out, head to the Michelin starred restaurant Pensons, just a short drive away.
In the morning, head to the market town of Leominster, where you can tour Leominster Museum, take a stroll along the River Lugg or indulge dinner and drinks at one of several fantastic pubs and restaurants on the days you don’t feel like cooking!
Close by, admire the historic National Trust sites of Berrington Hall and Croft Castle and Parkland or head to Tenbury Wells where you’ll find your nearest conveniences, in addition to the historic Round Market, a charming array of Georgian buildings and medieval bridge crossing the River Teme.
Head to the market town of Ludlow and take a tour of the iconic Castle and its ruins, enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Teme or head north for treks through Rectory Wood.
