About this house rental

Sleeping 14 this house is perfect for entertaining allowing for large groups to come together in comfort.
Whether you're hoping to host a formal dinner in the beautiful dining room, while away hours playing board games in front of the fire or spend relaxed afternoons playing croquet on the lawn whilst the children jump on the trampoline.

Downstairs there is a convenient mud room (with washing machine) leading to a large kitchen and breakfast room and a downstairs loo. The entrance hall connects the kitchen to an elegant drawing room and cosy snug room, a grand dining room (all three rooms offering log fires) and a large conservatory looking out over the gardens, croquet lawn & trampoline.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms sleeping 14: two kings with en-suite bathrooms, two doubles, one twin room, and one family room with one double and two single beds. There is a shared bathroom with bath & shower.

The large garden is a wonderful space for children or adults to walk or run around, play croquet or football, or just lie on the lawn and read a book. Tennis is also possible on local courts 1 mile away in Tenbury Wells (2 racquets and balls provided).

The oldest parts of the house date back to the Tudor period, with most of the present house dating to the late 1800s. The house is full of character with wooden beams, carved wooden mantelpieces, antique furniture and even a nineteenth century grand piano.

The Old Rectory is perfect at any time of year.
Spring is a lovely time to wander round the garden and enjoy the daffodils and bluebells. In Summer, enjoy a picnic or barbecue and get the croquet set out. In Autumn you can pick damsons and apples from our trees or go blackberry-picking in the nearby hedgerows. In Winter enjoy the log fires and walks or cook up a storm in our well-equipped kitchen.
Even when it’s raining you have plenty to keep you busy including board games, jigsaws, card games.

A reunion trip to celebrate 50 years of friendship since starting university together.A lovely old house with loads of indoor and outdoor space. We enjoyed eating in the conservatory in the evening and each of us had a very pleasant bedroom with comfortable beds.
