The Croft, Leigh Sinton

Worcestershire. Sleeps up to 2

A wonderful bolthole resting on the outskirts of the pretty village of Leigh Sinton and surrounded by the majestic slopes of the Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Croft is an all-ground-floor, detached holiday accommodation on a smallholding farm, ideal for a couple seeking a tranquil place to call home as they explore the wonders of this part of England. Enter into the spacious bolthole and be welcomed into the open-plan living room, where the characterful woodburning stove and unique chandeliers complement the contemporary furnishings. The range of quality appliances are arranged in a contemporary assortment, which are certain to entice a spot of home-cooking, and the sleek bar makes a great spot for popping open a bottle of wine, whilst dinner simmers on the hob. Once dinner is ready, settle down at the formal dining table before you light up the woodburning stove and relax into your evening. Sink into the plush sofa and flick on the TV or simply get lost within a good book before retiring to bed. The double bedroom and the contemporary shower room concludes the romantic retreat. Continuing to impress is the private garden area, where a picnic bench offers a space for alfresco dining before you dip into the bubbling hot tub to savour a moment of relaxation and soak up the rural views of the cottage’s surroundings. Alternatively, immerse yourself in your surrounding further by exploring the fishing lake, where a thatched hut offers pretty views, explore one of the many walks and bridleways from the doorstep or enjoy a spot of clay shooting tuition. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful base, head into the centre of Leigh Sinton village, where you will be delighted to find a shop for picking up essentials, a takeaway and a pub serving sourced produce and a great selection of wines and cask beers. For a larger selection of amenities, travel to Malvern, which is home to individual shops, cafes, art galleries and restaurants and a luxurious spa. The surrounding countryside setting offer a plethora of activities, including 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways with natural springs and spectacular views in all directions, as well as other outdoor attractions including high ropes, climbing and abseiling, fishing and river cruises. Other attractions within the area include Brockhampton Estate and Greyfriars' House and Garden, as well as the city of Worcester, beautiful Cotswolds AONB and the historical town of Stratford-upon-Avon.
