Our local village is Whitbourne, 1.5 miles away. It has a pub, 'The Live & Let Live' and a community shop stocking many locally sourced products. In Bromyard, 6 miles away, there is a Co-op supermarket, numerous bakeries, butchers and takeaways. At Malvern, for the sport loving, there is a leisure complex with pool. A favourite of ours for food and beer is 'The Talbot' at Knightwick. We have a list of pubs and eating places in the welcome pack at the cottage.

The area is a walkers dream with walks straight from the cottage. The rolling Malvern Hills, Bringtsty Common, Bromyard Downs and the National Trust Brockhampton Estate are all awaiting your boots. We have walking guides and maps at the cottage for you to plan your routes. There are plenty of opportunities for flower and bird spotting, not least in Badley Wood Common which adjoins our land.

The Malverns website is a useful source of information on activities and events in the area. They also provide a good weekly 'What's On' guide which you can find here.

Elcocks Cottage accommodates eight guests in two double and two twin rooms. We have a downstairs twin room and downstairs bathroom with shower. Upstairs, you will find two double bedrooms, one of which directly walks through to a twin room. There are two modern bathrooms. We have restored Elcocks with care and take great pride in the cottage, furnishing it sympathetically to a high standard and with paintings by local artists.

The cottage has electric central heating and a woodburner in the lounge with firewood provided. We have plenty of books and guides on local walks and things to do along with a colour television with Free Sat, DVD player and games. There is of course free WiFI internet access. We also have a games room with full size table tennis bats and balls provided. The grounds have ample parking for five cars and are entered via a private gate and drive.

The cottage enjoys a peaceful location, is not overlooked by neighbours and is set within three acres of countryside. The south facing garden, with wonderful views is perfect to enjoy, with outside furniture, a barbeque and a loggia for eating out undercover if desired.
