The Little Beehive

Description: About The Little Beehive

2 Bedroom Pet-Friendly Barn Conversion near Tenbury Wells

Escape to the country with a self-catering holiday in Abberley in Worcestershire. Green fields, hedgerows, narrow lanes, farms selling hay and free range eggs would be your neighbours. Some people simply love that rural appeal, to go for long walks across fields and footpaths, to enjoy local flora and fauna.  If you book a stay in the Little Beehive holiday cottage, you could also bring your dog to enjoy the same walks and views. A narrow road called ‘The Beehive’ is on the northern slopes of Abberley Hill and has a few nicely spaced properties set back from the road behind hedges and backed by farmland. It’s a tranquil area, only occasionally disturbed by the rumblings of a distant tractor.

This red brick barn conversion sleeps four people. It’s a neat purpose-built barn for self-catering and stands in a group of similar cottages, each with a private fenced garden. Hot tubs tend to be popular with holidaymakers and there is a nice one in the garden that promises tons of bubbles, massaging jets and fun. A white ornate metal table and chairs for four is somewhere to eat lunch on a nice day or to chat with your friends or family.
