In the know

Our favourite rooms
Room Five is spacious and striking, and comes with an original-beamed sloping ceiling; there’s also a huge TV that begs movie-watching from bed. Room Three has a spectacular weeping willow-embroidered silk wall feature commissioned from Fromental, as well as cute purple love chairs and a lovely mosaic en suite.
Packing tips
Bring a pair of walking boots – the surrounding countryside is far too beautiful to resist.

Working Worcestershire farm

Set on a 260-acre working farm, the family run Lower End House in the Cotswolds is an enticing blend of mediaeval architecture and utterly up-to-the-minute fittings.

Breakfast includes homemade, homegrown everything – from muesli, bread, preserves and marmalade to tasty eggs. Much of the meat is from the farm itself.

Hotel bar
Lower End House is fully licensed, and there’s an informal bar area, complete with cosy wood-burning stove, in the large main hall. Guests can help themselves from the fully stocked honesty bar.
