  • "Fantastic accommodation and we had an amazing stay."

    The owner Katie was there to greet us and so helpful with anything we needed. The house and everything about it is very high end and has everything you need and so many little extra details. It is in a beautiful location and very close to many places to visit. We went to the Plough and Harrow for a meal and it was a beautiful pub and lovely food, would highly recommend. The hot tub was a great addition to relax in after a busy day. The cinema room was great to watch your favourite programme on a very large screen as well as having sky tv etc to watch and catch up on. Would highly recommend and Katie should be proud of her beautiful house and the service she provides for guests. One of the best we have stayed in

  • "A lovely place to stay."

    Thornbury is a very well equipped and spacious property. All the rooms are of a large size. It is in a quiet location, but not far away from main roads and easy to find. Katie (the owner) was ver friendly and always on hand for any queries you may have. We stayed with our family and Grandchildren there is plenty of attractions and things to do near by. I would definitely recommend Thornbury and would love to go back in the future.

  • "This is an amazing house and very well designed and spacious."

    Katie was very helpful and always responded promptly. The kitchen was well equipped with almost all the essentials including milk and bread. The hot tub is very good size but we’re not able to use as our stay at Thornbury happened to be in the middle of a heat wave. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be returning.

  • "Amazing property, the photos really don't do it justice the house is incredible."

    The kids loved the cinema room, but so did the adults for the football. We all said this would be the first place we have stayed in as a group that we would return to. The only thing I would say that needs adding is a firepit for the garden for the cooler nights. Other than this place has every facility you would ever want. Thannks

The property

Barnard's Green 1.7 miles.

Nestled in the quaint village of Guarlford, just a short distance east from Barnard's Green, Worcestershire, rests this extraordinary, detached, five-bedroom holiday home, Thornbury.

With an immaculate, stone-clad exterior, large front and rear gardens with luscious lawns, ample parking on a private driveway, and superb positioning to the nearby Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this exquisite property welcomes a large family or group of sharing friends seeking a relaxing, escape to the West Midlands in the most fabulous of dwellings.

Park up and step into your amazing new lodgings, where you will find an array of elegant, tastefully-designed living spaces, starting with a sleek, fully-equipped kitchen/diner, the social hub of the home complete with its very own central island, sizeable dining table, and a stylish, wall-mounted Smart TV.

In warmer months, step through the bi-fold doors and into the rear garden, where you can kick back and lounge on the outdoor furniture whilst the chosen pitmaster lights up the barbecue - the perfect spot for whipping up a tasty alfresco feast.

When you're finished wining and dining, retreat to the sitting room, where you and your loved ones can relax by sticking a film on the TV whilst you're kept warm by the crackling embers of a woodburning stove.

If you're looking for a true blockbuster experience, be sure to enjoy a film in the home's very own cinema room, which has a huge projector screen, a truly unique feature for the film buffs of the group!

As day rolls into night, be sure to indulge in a long, rejuvenating soak in the outdoor hot tub as you watch the starry night appear overhead.

When sleep finally calls, head to one of five decadent bedrooms, including four super-king-size rooms complete with their very own Smart TVs and accompanying en-suite shower facilities, offering you the ultimate sanctuary to unwind and refresh ahead of a brand-new, exciting day.

When you're ready, head out to explore your local area, by taking a trip into nearby Barnard's Green, where you can load up on supplies at the Co-op Food before you settle down for a hearty pub lunch at The Nag's Head.

Your stay in the region would be incomplete without a visit to the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to a plethora of stunning hills, woodland, and walkways, as well has several brilliant, must-see landmarks and attractions.

Where you’ll be staying

BARNARD'S GREEN, MALVERN

Worcester 8.8 miles; Bromyard 12.7 miles; Hereford 21.6 miles.

Lying near the edge of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies the village of Barnard's Green. Resting between the grand cities of Worcester to the north and Gloucester, this charming settlement is probably best known for its history as a spa town during the 19th-century, where visitors would flock to the village to "take the waters" due to their supposed health benefits. Nowadays, visitors can spend time roaming the serene grounds of Priory Park, which has a pond and playground; enjoy a live performance at the nearby Malvern Theatres or some family-fun at the Malvern Splash Leisure Complex; and even brush up on local history at the Malvern Museum. If visitors are looking to stock up on food or essentials, they'll be spoilt for choice in Barnard's Green, with a Co-Op, One Stop and Premier convenience store all situated at the heart of the village. Barnard's Green also enjoys proximity to a wide range of exciting locations and landmarks that are easily reached by car, including The Morgan Experience Centre, the Little Malvern Court & Gardens, The Walled Gardens at Croome Court, and the RAF Defford Museum. For a full day out, head to Worcester, a city brimming with must-see attractions, such as the Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum and The Commandery.
