Lena’s Lodge

Lena's Lodge is a two-bedroom cottage on the edge of Castlemoreton Common, with direct access to the network of footpaths and cycle routes that thread through the Malvern Hills. The whole property is yours alone, sleeping up to five across two double bedrooms (one with a Z-bed for a child) and one shower room. A utility room with washing machine means you can manage laundry during longer stays.

The open-plan kitchen and living space has everything needed for self-catering: electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge and freezer. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. Outside, an enclosed lawn wraps around the property with a patio, seating and a barbecue. There's also use of the owner's garden, which contains a small pond. Private parking for two cars sits on site, with a bike store for exploring the surrounding terrain. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed. Non-smoking only.

The location suits walkers and cyclists drawn to the Malvern ridgeway, and families wanting a base where children can safely play outdoors. The Worcestershire countryside spreads out around you; Croome Court and its Capability Brown landscape gardens lie a short drive away.
