Hallgarth Farm Holiday Lodge, Worcestershire

Settled on a working sheep farm in the quaint village of Peopleton, rests this stylish barn conversion, Hallgarth Farm Cottage. Enjoying far-reaching views of the unspoilt countryside of Worcestershire, this pet-friendly cottage is idyllic for a family of four. Drive up your own private entrance and be greeted by two off-road parking spaces, on the owner's grounds, and admire your oak framed holiday home. Step into the entrance hallway to kick-off your walking boots and hang your jackets, ready for a ramble. Climb upstairs to the first floor to find the open-plan living space, with sloped ceilings and a south facing balcony to soak in the sweeping countryside. Unwind on the recliner sofa with a cup of tea and flicker through the TV with Freeview to catch-up on your favourite shows. When stomachs begin to rumble, the chef of the group can whip up tasty dishes in the kitchen area, with an electric oven and induction hob to assist with the cooking. The neat and tidy one of the group will be delighted with the built-in dishwasher and washer/dryer for an easy clean-up! Take a seat at the dining table for four to enjoy a meal together and why not uncork a bottle of fizz to toast to your hideaway? Watch the sunset from the Juliet balcony or relax on the other balcony, with a table and chairs to soak in the sights. Head down to the ground floor to explore the garden area, where a barbecue offers alternative dining arrangements, and a hot tub provides a moment of relaxation. As the sky grows dark, retreat up to the first floor to choose between a double or a twin bedroom, both with Smart TVs and an en-suite shower for a private rinse. Awaken with a steaming cup of coffee, courtesy of the coffee maker and make use of the appliances to conjure a home-cooked breakfast. If you fancy a break from cooking, take a short stroll to a traditional British pub, The Crown Inn, for a light lunch or hearty meal. Sporting enthusiasts will be thrilled with The Vale Golf & Country Club and avid walkers can take their canines to Millenium Woods or explore as you step from the front door on many local walks. Jump in the car to tour the nearby attractions, where you can recuperate at Worcestershire's Vale and Spa or have some family fun at The Great Worcester Maize Maze. Head into the heart of the historical city of Worcester, home to a Tudor House Museum to unveil the past, the quirky exhibitions of Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, as well as The National Trust site of The Firs: Elgar's Birthplace.
