Idyllic country getaway-5 Bedroom cottage on edge of the Cotswolds.


Tickeridge Farm is a beautiful 5 bedroom English country cottage - ideally suited for getting together with family, friends and colleagues.
Its setting is perfect and wonderfully private – sitting in a large fenced garden with rolling lawns and views towards the Malvern Hills. It's no longer a working farm but is surrounded by 5 acres of our fields where you’ll find horses grazing.
It lies outside the quintessentially English village of Hanley Swan with its village green, lily-covered duck pond and a very welcoming pub with an open fire. During the restoration of this 16th century house, great care was taken to preserve its original elements whilst incorporating all mod cons.
Massive 30ft kitchen with range cooker, granite worktops, breakfast area, table to seat 10+ with french windows onto the terrace, gas BBQ, outdoor dining and croquet lawn.
Large oak beamed living room with comfy sofas and fireplaces at each end and a TV/games/reading area with a Smart TV- iPlayer, Netflix.
Downstairs cloakroom and a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer
Upstairs two bathrooms - with baths, walk in showers and heated towel racks and five comfortable bedrooms: two double bedrooms with kingsize beds, one single bedroom with a double bed and two bedrooms with adult sized bunk beds.

As you would expect duvets with cotton bed linen and towels are provided; electricity and oil central heating is included as is an initial very large basket of logs to feed the fires.There are a number of TV/DVD/CD players, a Klipsch iPod sound dock, Amazon Echo and WiFi. In the well equipped kitchen there is a range cooker as well as a microwave, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer
An extra fold-up bed (for +1 child); a travel cot and high chair are available.

Beautiful farmhouse
A lovely farmhouse in a great location, surrounded by fields but very close to amenities for all ages to enjoy. We particularly enjoyed the large kitchen with its view of the garden and the horses in the next field.

Beautiful property with great views
A great spacious home for friends and family to stay, relax and entertain. What I loved most about the place was watching the horses graze as we ate our our meals in the kitchen. The house had the most spectacular views too. Thank to both Dugald and Simon for being ever so gracious.

The Perfect getaway
I spent an absolutely gorgeous weekend catching up with 6 old friends at Tickeridge Farm. Everything was great. The property was spotless , the bedrooms were lovely - special shout out for the excellent quality bedding which felt like a luxury hotel. It’s really well appointed and the huge kitchen table is glorious to spend hours around chatting, eating and drinking. We had a bbq and we’re able to play croquet while the burgers were cooking. It’s just all so idyllic. We visited the Swan pub which is about a 15min walk and had a lovely meal there too. We also rented a boat from Upton marina and cruised the river Severn for a few hours. Can’t recommend this place enough as the perfect getaway - as a base for exploring nearby - or just relaxing and staying put because it has everything you need.

Fantastic Country Getaway
Our group of 10 early 30's friends had a fantastic 5 nights at Hanley Castle. Communication and the check in process was smooth. The kitchen was was well stocked with cooking utensils and staples. The kitchen and living areas were very spacious and cosy, especially with the fire going (plenty of wood on offer). The bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms were great, with two baths and a supply of body wash. We enjoyed some country walks, with a number of pubs within walking distance. Overall, we couldn't fault the stay, and enjoyed spending some peaceful days and nights in the countryside.

Fantastic weekend
The accommodation was great for 6 adults and 4 children. Clean, spacious and extremely well-equipped. Farm land all round and a secure garden for children. Both Dugald (owner) and Simon (who lives just down the road) were very pleasant and helpful. Had a power cut whilst there due to Storm Arwen, but house had a plentiful supply of candles, a barbecue and woodburners. Simon was on hand to come and check we were OK. Would certainly recommend .

Amazing house, highly recommend!
My friends and I booked this property for 2 nights, to celebrate a 40th birthday. From when we made the booking to leaving the property everything was so straight forward. Both the owner and the caretaker we so friendly and helpful on every communication we had. The house itself is beautiful. Gorgeous huge kitchen, nice cosy lounge and comfortable beds. The house had everything you need and more. The gardens and surrounding areas are amazing, beautiful views. We went into Worcester for a night out, it was only 15 minutes away. There are also more local pubs. I really can’t recommend this place enough. We will be looking to book there again at some point.

Lovely place for a weekend, family get-together
This is the second time we have stayed at Tickeridge Farm for a family celebration. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and has lots of charm. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and the children loved playing outside. The location is great - it is an easy walk to the local pub for a nice meal and not far to drive to enjoy a walk on the Malverns. We would love to stay again.

Fabulous family house
We have just had a wonderful weekend enjoying the vast and incredibly well equipped kitchen, lovely log burner and beautiful gardens at Tickeridge Farm. The kids raced around outside before slumping on the comfy sofas while adults relaxed with a glass enjoying the view. Dugald was very helpful throughout the booking process and even rang to check all was ok during the weekend. Would highly recommend this gorgeous country escape.
