Elsie's Cottage
UK England West Midlands Worcestershire Great Malvern
Tucked into the folds of the Malvern Hills, in the southwestern reaches of Worcestershire, Elsie's Cottage is a perfect rural hideaway for couples – a one-bedroomed adults-only bolthole that makes for the ultimate romantic escape for you and your loved one. Not only is it situated deep in the woods and amid the rolling hills, the stone walls of the cottage and its picturesque, mature garden are reassuringly homely and secluded. It can feel like you've found a secret place to escape to – and a rather enchanted one at that, situated on the ley lines of three counties.
The Victorian stone cottage has been renovated throughout, but with a sensitivity and taste that more than do justice to its unique location: the feel is rustic yet very contemporary, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The squishy velvet sofas, rocking-chair and and inglenook fireplace with wood-burner in the downstairs sitting room only add to the cottage's cosy charm; there's also a well-equipped retro-styled rustic kitchen with a dining table for two, and a heated stone floor. Upstairs you'll find a beamed bedroom with chandeliers and a sturdy and very comfy king-sized bed, and a stone floored bathroom with roll top bath, rainfall shower and large stone sink, and a heated rail with fluffy towels and robes, ensuring you can indulge in style and space. Finally, outside there's a sun-fulled terrace with views over the steeply landscaped garden and the valley beyond, and a tree-shrouded wood-burning hot tub for a soak under the stars. It's a wonderful place for al fresco meals on warm evenings, with a ceramic BBQ and fire pit, and a hand-carved table with comfy chairs to watch the sun go down.
