The Nest at Winnall ticks all the right boxes when it comes to location and luxury. The holiday cottage is made of softly weathered red bricks that are typical of houses built in Worcestershire in the 1800s, and occupies a peaceful position close to the River Severn. The owners have put their heart and soul into restoring the period property, and their attention to detail shows in every room. With space for four people to sleep in two bedrooms, The Nest is perfect for couples and families who appreciate being able to discover the most beautiful parts of Worcestershire, Shropshire and the Cotswolds with ease.
The cottage is a mile from Lincomb and less than four miles from Stourport. It is a wonderfully rural area with rolling countryside bisected by the magnificent River Severn. Stourport-on-Severn has an excellent array of shops and places to eat, with picturesque Georgian buildings and a canal basin that harks back to the town’s birth at the completion of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in 1771. Worcestershire has lots of charming towns and villages where you happily while away hours window shopping, including Droitwich Spa, Tenbury Wells, Evesham and Bewdley. The ancient city of Worcester with its wonderful cathedral, Tudor buildings, shops and entertainment, is only 20 minutes away, so there are plenty of choices to suit everyone.
Being outdoors is a pleasure with places like Hartlebury Common, Shrawley Wood, Kingsford Forest and the Wyre Forest all within a short distance of the cottage. You could also visit Arley Arboretum, and the Malvern Hills are under an hour’s drive, so there is no end of places to hike or ride a mountain bike, or climb into a different type of saddle at one of two excellent riding centres nearby. The Ombersley Golf Course is only ten minutes from the cottage and having the River Severn so close provides plenty of opportunities for anglers, who can also try their luck in the canal or one of the local fishing pools. Canoeists can paddle down the river and then ride back on a steam train.
Favourite attractions within half an hour of The Nest include the County Museum at Hartlebury Castle, the Severn Valley Railway, Harvington Hall, Hanbury Hall and Gardens, and the Avoncroft Museum. The very local Little Owl Farm Park is popular with younger visitors, while West Midland Safari and Leisure Park is a great day out for all ages. After a busy few days of sightseeing, you can treat yourself to a luxurious few hours at Orchids Spa, where guests on a dedicated Nest Spa Break can enjoy complimentary transport to and from the cottage, private use of the hot tub area, inclusive treatments as well as a buffet lunch and a selection of drinks from the mini bar.
Short breaks are also available so you can escape to The Nest for some much deserved R&R even if you only have a few days to spare.
