Around 30 miles from the Welsh border, the meadows are quiet and feel like a sleepy backwater but it’s little over a mile before you’re back on the A44, which zips you along to the outside world. Hampton Court Castle, Berrington Hall, the Malvern Hills and the National Trust’s Brockhampton Estate are all within a 20 minute drive, while Worcester, Hereford and Witley Court are only a little beyond that. Bring the car, then, and the world is your oyster. And, with accommodation like this, you’ll certainly be glad you left the tent at home.
