Lodge No 72

Splendidly set in 400 acres of the unspoilt Teme Valley, this elegant Georgian farmhouse looking south over the river towards the Wigmore Rolls, offers sophisticated hospitality in beautiful relaxed surroundings. A large, mature garden, a masterpiece in light and shade, is brimming with unusual herbaceous plants, flourishing lilies and hostas around a 12th century motte, ha-ha and millstream.

Guests are cosseted in this genteel three storey gentleman's residence, with well proportioned and attractively decorated rooms, containing beautiful antiques and paintings, collected over many years. Elegant bedrooms, with the emphasis on comfortable furnishings, have beautiful cotton appliqué sheets and pillowcases on the lovely beds, which can be either twin or super king doubles, and have en suite or private bathrooms complete with special finishing touches.
