Set in the grounds of the our home, this detached property offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for guests to enjoy, with a large enclosed private garden.

Outside the knocking of Bert and Bertha, the resident woodpeckers, fills the air. The gentle clip and clop of the horses walking to and from their stables sets a beat for the wind to whistle melodiously through the trees. Who said the country was quiet? - Regardless, a true rural idyll!

Direct from the property you can step or ride out (on bicycle) to a multitude of footpaths or bridleways that weave their way across the hills. The local pub, The Marlbank Inn, is a 30 minute walk away or Plume of Feathers 20 min walk across the Common. On a clear night looking up at the stars is a truly amazing sight. All-in-all The Oaks has a lot going for it as a base for a lively and lovely holiday in the Malvern Hills and beyond. 

What some guests have to say about The Oaks -

"A wonderful place to stay in a truly beautiful part of the country. I stayed in The Oaks at Grounds Farm for the weekend and it can safely be said that this place is a treasure. The drive up to the holiday cottages is a stunning backdrop of the Malvern Hills, only to be topped by the placement of the farm at the foot of the hills themselves. Opening the door in the morning to the sounds of the countryside and only a moments walk from the hills themselves. Some beautiful scenery both in and around the farm.

The Oaks were fantastically furnished with a modern, homely, and cozy feel to them. A spacious cooking and dining area with a social room just next door. Possibly the comfiest bed and pillows I've ever had the opportunity to sleep in, and an incredibly relaxing shower to come back to after a lovely day walking!

The Owners are on site, unbelievably friendly and welcoming. They provided everything needed for a relaxing weekend away, and were just wonderful to speak to. Giving some brilliant advice and directions regarding the walks, with a detailed knowledge of all the hidden gems in the area like the Ruffz cafe near Swinyard car park and hill, and the Ridge Walk (south to north)!

All in all, no better place to stay when visiting the Malvern Hills and no better company to keep"

"This place is an absolute gem! We stayed for 4 nights and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment you go through the farm gate you enter a beautiful and peaceful environment. The farm, cottages and surrounding buildings and countryside are simply stunning. The cottage is spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped, has comfortable beds and the private garden is amazing. We were blessed with good weather so we're able to make full use of it. There are many many walks right on your doorstep and we clocked up many miles whilst we were there! Claire and Don were perfect hosts. There if we needed anything but left us to enjoy our holiday. Thank you to you both, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future".

"Had a very relaxing break in this beautiful and well equipped cottage. Very comfy beds, excellent shower, really well-equipped kitchen, beautiful garden, and friendly and helpful host. Couldn’t ask for more. Looking forward to staying again"

"Beautiful house and countryside. Don and Claire were very helpful.
Super comfy beds and incredibly clean.
Lots of things to do no matter what the weather!
We really enjoyed our stay"

"Beautiful location; with very friendly hosts. Property is spacious, clean and inviting, with incredible views of the Malvern Hills".

"We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday with family and our two dogs. Claire gave us a warm welcome, and the cottage was a dream - plenty of space, warm and cosy after spending our days out walking the hills and touring the local area. I would highly recommend Grounds Farm and hope to stay again"

"Wow! What a wonderful place to stay!
We booked this 4 night stay purely based on location to attend a family wedding in Welland. However The Oaks exceeded our expectations providing immaculate and comfortable accommodation, with everything you need. The hosts are very friendly & helpful. We would love to return to spend more time relaxing at the property. As well as the wedding celebrations, we managed to eat at the Plough & Harrow and take a tour of the Morgan Motor Co. and would thoroughly recommend both.
Lovely part of the world to live in, we’ll definitely be visiting again, thank you"

"Myself, my husband and daughter stayed at Grounds Farm on the weekend of 7th August, it was a truly beautiful experience. The property was lovely with everything provided for our stay, along with the amazing indoor and outdoor space, scenic views and the super friendly and welcoming hosts, Don and Claire.
The rooms are exceptionally clean, beds are comfy and inviting and after a very busy day it was lovely to curl up and read one of the books provided.
There are many walks, cycle routes, towns and villages to visit, i.e. Ledbury and Great Malvern which have lovely shops, places of interest and quaint cafes and restaurants.
We will be back very soon, if bookings allow, as I haven't had such a relaxing and charming stay in such à very long time.
Thank you Don and Claire"
