Pet Friendly Cottage Holidays Worcestershire

Diglis Lock Cottage is a unique, 3-bedroom home within central Worcester which sits gloriously on its own private island. It’s ideal for a family, friends, and a couples’ holiday to Worcestershire. This unique holiday home is a Grade II listed building and one of three lock keepers’ cottages built in 1844. Restored to retain its historical importance as a landmark of Worcester, it is beautifully appointed inside and out.
On the ground floor you will find a reception/sitting room, cosy living room, hallway, and kitchen-diner. The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials, and a patio door leads out onto the rear garden overlooking the river. There is a deluxe bathroom found on the ground floor, boasting a free-standing, roll-top tub with shower. On the first floor there are three sumptuous bedrooms; a large master suite and a double room that interconnects to the third bedroom with two single beds, ideal if you are travelling with children or friends. Outside you have a front to back wrap around garden to enjoy.
The property is nestled on an island in the middle of the River Severn, directly overlooking the only pair of river locks in the country, with fantastic up river views of Worcester Cathedral, local wildlife, passing boaters and, in the summer, water activities including kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. Since the cottage is on an island, views of the River Weir and Diglis fish pass are to the rear.
The accommodation is a 15-minute riverside stroll along Severn Way, passing by the cathedral and riverside ice cream vendors to Worcester’s many restaurants, bars, art galleries, cinemas, museums, and shopping opportunities. A 20-minute walk takes you to further historical sights, pubs, boutique shopping and eateries in Worcester’s most historic medieval street - Friar Street. Worcester racecourse and cricket club are also within easy walking distance, and a number of arranged walks start nearby, including the Worcester Walk which starts outside the accommodation.
The property is conveniently located near train stations, with Foregate Street and Shrub Hill both around 30 minutes’ away by foot. Should you wish to travel further, Cheltenham Racecourse is 25 miles away, Stratford-upon-Avon 32 miles, and Birmingham airport 36 miles.
