Hilltop House, Worcestershire

This regal, country house is set over three floors and rests in a peaceful countryside location just outside of the market town of Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, just 30 minutes from the M5 artery. Hilltop House caters well for visitors of all ages and is the perfect place for groups of friends or families to come together and celebrate those special birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions as well as enjoy a country holiday never to be forgotten – a true country house experience. Upon entering this stately property, you will be instantly impressed by its striking and unique period hallway leading to an array of spacious rooms laid out in a fluid sociable space throughout the ground floor. Whether it is the large, enticing sitting room with comfortable seating, a TV, and a wood burner, or the huge quieter sitting room where you can take some time to enjoy space without noise. The kitchen boasts a country house feel, providing all of the necessary appliances, the heart of which is a four-oven oil-fired AGA cooker and a solid rustic table that you can assemble before the day begins. Later on, bring the group together in the formal dining room, with the drama of huge antique furniture, and a table for all twenty guests to enjoy eating before the inglenook fireplace. Head through the maze of stairways and levels to find your bedroom; all ten are very spacious and finished in a vintage fashion with characterful features and antiques throughout. Four of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, whilst there are two extra family bathrooms for you to get ready in. You will never be stuck for things to do here at Hilltop, on a rainy day you can take yourself off to the external games room which comes complete with its own kitchen, pool table, and a woodburning stove. On the sunnier days, the children and pets can run and play in the extensive lawns available and take a swim in the freestanding, above-ground swimming pool (seasonal), whilst you can sit and watch on from the patio area with a refreshing glass of wine enjoying the spectacular views over the unspoiled countryside. Tenbury Wells is the ideal base for your group holiday or corporate business meeting as it offers a wealth of local facilities. Liaison with chefs can be arranged for those who wish for a catered stay. Further afield you can explore the charming medieval market town of Ludlow, or for a more active pastime head to the Shropshire or Malvern Hills for seemingly endless walking and cycling paths as well as many other local activities and experiences. A spectacular house in a fabulous location.
