Fishpool Cottages are set in the tranquil and unspoilt countryside where Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and South Shropshire meet. Despite the peaceful setting, they are no more than three hours' drive on the motorway from many of England’s major cities. There is also plenty to do within easy reach of the cottages.

Winding up the track to this converted stable, you catch glimpses of the Teme and Kyre valleys. Inside, light floods through large windows onto polished elm floors, with a wood-burner, Aga and handcrafted kitchen adding to the cosy charm. Upstairs, floral, brass-bedded rooms sit under the eaves with a handy loo, while a roll-top tub awaits in the sparkling downstairs bathroom. Children can roam seven acres and discover a hidden treehouse with hammocks and a barbecue.

Tucked within the expansive grounds of a 16th-century timber-framed house, this self-catering retreat in Worcestershire is an ideal escape for two. Reached by a simple track, the stone-walled, stone-tiled hideaway has been built almost entirely from locally reclaimed materials. Inside, the open-plan space feels relaxed and welcoming. A weighty leather chesterfield faces a wood-burner stacked with logs from nearby woods, while the hand-crafted oak kitchen offers plenty of space, a double Belfast sink, and wooden floorboards throughout. Exposed beams frame the bright bedroom, with a shower room just a step away. Evenings are made for wandering beside the babbling brook through orchid-dotted ancient woodland, pausing at the owner’s charming treehouse with hammocks, before settling at your own private viewpoint overlooking the postcard-worthy Teme and Kyre valleys.

Built entirely from locally sourced stone, oak and handcrafted leaded light windows, this cottage is a testament to the skill of a master craftsman, full of charm and character. Inside, a leather sofa sits beside a wood-burner stacked with logs from the nearby woods, inviting you to relax. The well-equipped open-plan kitchen wraps around the Aga, with natural stone floors warmed by underfloor heating. Upstairs, an oak staircase leads to an open-plan bedroom and dressing area that overlooks the sitting room below from a galleried landing.

Ludlow offers a feast of dining options, while Hay-on-Wye, Ironbridge and the Malvern Hills promise memorable day trips. Historic sites like Ludlow Castle, Croft Castle and Eastnor Castle are all within easy reach. Footpaths and bridleways lead directly from the cottage, where you might spot badgers, woodpeckers, buzzards, or owls, with rabbits darting through the surrounding fields. Just four miles away lies the market town of Tenbury Wells, while the fine Georgian town of Ludlow is only a fifteen-minute drive.
