The property

Droitwich Spa 1.4 miles.

Otter’s Rest, a welcoming single‑storey cottage resting in the rural hamlet of Shernal Green near Droitwich Spa in Worcestershire.

Offering a peaceful base for families, two couples or friends seeking a break in the countryside, with a garden that leads straight onto to the tow path, where you can watch barges sail peacefully past along the Worcester to Birmingham canal.

The property boats an inviting woodburning stove, with an enclosed garden and an open‑plan layout, this cottage presents a wonderful retreat for exploring both Worcester and the surrounding countryside.

Otter’s Rest begins to set the tone for your stay as you wander along the gentle gravel path towards its brick exterior, a detached cottage resting peacefully within the grounds of the owner’s farm.

The setting immediately feels open and restful, with the countryside creating a natural pause before you step inside.

Entering the open-plan living space, you find yourself in a kitchen designed to encourage easy movement and relaxed cooking, where tiled flooring keeps things cool underfoot and an exposed brick wall adds warmth and texture.

A Velux window brightens the worktops as you prepare ingredients gathered from the nearby shop, and the wooden bench dining area invites you to sit and savour simple meals beneath stylish hanging lights that gently illuminate the space.

As you drift into the sitting area, wooden flooring softens beneath a comfortable rug and the seating invites you to stretch out and unwind.

Warm green hues travel through the décor, and the woodburning stove adds a gentle glow as you settle with a drink or enjoy a film on the Smart TV.

The bi-fold doors open the entire room to the outside, allowing fresh air to move through the space and creating an easy transition between indoors and outdoors whenever you choose.

When you are ready to retreat for the evening, both double bedrooms are carpeted to create a soft, calm feel underfoot, each offering a Smart TV for relaxed late-night viewing.

The shower room provides a refreshing moment before or after the day, with pink tiles bringing character to the walk-in shower and a matching basin adding a thoughtful finishing touch.

Stepping out from the living area, the cottage’s fully enclosed garden sits to the side of the property and offers both patio and lawn where you can pause with breakfast or enjoy the last light of the day.

A gate leads directly to the path running beside the nearby canal, making peaceful waterside walks an easy part of your stay.

Wherever your days take you, Otter’s Rest provides a peaceful, welcoming place to return to in the heart of Worcestershire.
