Choosing a large holiday cottage in Worcestershire

Worcestershire is a wonderful choice for large families and groups who want rolling English countryside, historic towns and easy access to the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills all in one county. Large holiday cottages here are usually beautiful black-and-white timbered houses, converted barns or grand farmhouses that offer plenty of bedrooms, big kitchens and several bathrooms so everyone can spread out comfortably.

Many large cottage rentals sit in pretty villages like Broadway, Hanbury or along the River Severn, giving you quiet lanes on the doorstep and short drives to major sights. You are only 30 minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon, 45 minutes from Birmingham and surrounded by orchards, hills and valleys. Large holiday homes in Worcestershire are perfect for family celebrations, walking breaks or exploring the Heart of England at prices lower than the Cotswolds.

Worcestershire keeps big groups busy. The Malvern Hills offer stunning walks and views for all abilities. Worcester Cathedral and the River Severn cruises are right in the city centre. West Midland Safari Park is brilliant for kids and adults with drive-through animals and rides. Severn Valley Railway steam trains run heritage journeys the whole group can enjoy together.
