Teme Valley Lodge Shelsley Beauchamp

Teme Valley Lodge is a detached house near Shelsley Beauchamp. It sleeps a lot of people, up to ten in four bedrooms.

It's a 5 Star place, so it's done to a high standard. Downstairs there's a bedroom, which works if you don't want to do stairs. The kitchen is big and modern. There's a separate dining room too. The main living area is spacious. Two bathrooms upstairs plus one downstairs.

There's a hot tub on the private patio. You can also book treatments from an on-site spa, but you arrange and pay for that separately with the owner.

One thing: the top floor has three bedrooms but it's open plan up there, with balconies looking down into the living area. It's fine for one group or a family, but worth knowing if you like total privacy between rooms.

Parking is on site. The garden is enclosed. There's a washing machine, WiFi, and bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs.

The Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb is practically next door. It's the world's oldest motorsport event. If you're into cars, the Morgan Museum in Malvern isn't far either.

Tenbury Wells is a few miles away for shops and pubs. There's local fishing and riding, and the Teme Valley is good for walks.

For a day out, the Malvern Hills are about half an hour's drive. Great for a proper walk. Worcester, with the cathedral, is a similar distance.
