Romantic break for two? Well, three, if you include your trusty canine companion. This stylish barn conversion makes a fabulous one-bed rural retreat in the hamlet of Windmill Hill amid lovely countryside between both the Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds’ Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Classic styling effortlessly melds with rustic features like exposed timber beams and brickwork along with contemporary fixtures and super modern flourishes which include the industrial-chic styling in the bedroom, where you’ll find eclectic lighting and useful USB sockets. Guests on two and four legs are bound to have a ball here.
Set in the owner’s grounds, this detached barn is as cute as a button, offering supremely comfortable accommodation for you and your dog over two floors. Entering the front door, you can towel off your mucky pup and leave your outdoor gear in the small lobby. From there, you’ll enter the wonderful open-plan living/dining/kitchen area which is really welcoming. Let sleeping dogs lie by the wood burner after a long day as you sink into a comfortable seat and admire the beamed cathedral ceiling. Or enjoy a drink at the kitchen island while your other half prepares a holiday feast in the contemporary kitchen. The stylish shower room is also downstairs, while the double bedroom is upstairs under another lofty, beamed ceiling. You can all enjoy al fresco moments at a small table and chairs in front of the barn overlooking the ponds too.
There’s no shortage of walking and cycling routes practically on your doorstep, so grab that lead and leave no stick unfetched. Or why not walk around 1 mile to the two local pubs in the nearest village of Drakes Broughton? They’re both dog friendly, so no need to leave anyone behind as you enjoy a drink or a meal together.
