It is approached down a long drive off a quiet lane with the owners 16th century house adjacent. The building retains many original features, lots of beams and quirky level changes, and is decorated and furnished to a high standard with antiques, books and pictures and comfortable beds. There is a private courtyard furnished with a bbq, table and chairs and a parasol, and also a lawned area with wonderful sunset views across the countryside towards Mortimer Forest.
The Hop Kiln is ideal for people wanting to explore the beautiful Welsh Marches area. It is 5 miles to Ludlow with its renowned food and antique shops, restaurants set in glorious medieval and Georgian buildings. The castle is the location in June and July for a major arts festival and in September for it's world famous food festival.
Nearby is Tenbury Wells, an attractive small market town, with good food shops, butcher, baker, fishmonger, greengrocer all with a strong emphasis on local produce, as well as other unique shops, and a Tesco with a riverside setting! There are lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants for eating out.

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous converted hop kiln. The quirkly layout was fun, lots of different levels! The beds were so comfy as was the roll top bath! The weather wasnt great so our walks were very boggy but that didnt bother us. We were so relaxed in this warm, cosy house we didnt want to leave.

We absolutely loved our stay at the hop kiln . Very warm & cosy. Super comfy beds. We all loved the quirky lay out of the property. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area, tho not far from Tenbury. Weather wasn’t great but it didn’t bother us at all . Thank you Maggie & John for the lovely welcome. We all had a wonderful time, including Woody :)

We spent 4 lovely days in this original property Communication with Maggie was excellent and she was a discreetly available when we needed her. The location itself is stunning and this quirky property was a pleasure to stay in. Its proximity to the A49, makes for easy trips out. Church Stretton and Leominster were particular favourites.

The property exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous stay. The property is really interesting and well presented, everything has been thought of. There is also so much to see and do in the surrounding area that we really wish we had booked for a full week rather than just a weekend break. Maggie was a great host too - so kind and understanding

This renovated hops kiln is a unique, gorgeous property. It has been decorated to a very high standard, is well-equipped, and very comfortable. As mentioned in the listing, the cottage has a quirky layout with several levels and stairs, so that's something to be aware of. We loved our stay here and highly recommend this property. Thanks Maggie & John for being such good hosts!

Relaxing half-term break
The property was lovely, just as advertised. It was so peaceful and a perfect location to unwind, sit in the garden and watch the sunset over the hills. Maggie was very helpful and quick to reply to any queries. Friendly horses in the paddock was also a big bonus for our daughter, who went to see them at every opportunity.

Lovely quirky property in beautiful peaceful countryside
Had a lovely stay at Hop Kiln Maggie the owner, was helpful and friendly and the property was absolutely lovely and dog friendly too👍 it was so refreshing to find such a nice property with some quality furnishings and soft furnishings that allowed dogs - we dog owners are just as respectful of, if probably not more so, of another person’s property as anyone else! There was a completely private enclosed space at the rear of the property but Maggie very kindly allows use of her own front garden which is so peaceful with gorgeous views. It is only a short drive into Tenbury which has everything you need and there are plenty of places to visit if you can drag yourself away from enjoying the relaxation of such an idyllic setting. Would not hesitate to return.

The Hop Kiln has been very well furnished and equipped, a real, home from home. It was lovely and warm and with the added log burner lit in the evening, very cosy. We needed peace and quiet for a few days and it certainly gave us that. Maggie and John were great hosts, friendly and welcoming.

The cottage is amazing. It’s honestly the best we have stayed in! The decor is just lovely, it gives such a tranquil feeling. It is very rural, giving pitch black, silent, starry nights!! Just what you need when away from real life!! Such a wonderfully eclectic mix of furniture. The beds are almost too comfortable!! It really has everything you need for a very relaxing and stress free holiday! Thank you Maggie, John and Coco!!
