Wellspring Cottage is part of a small Christian retreat centre in Ledbury, Herefordshire, situated on the southern edge of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Accessed separately from the rest of the retreat spaces, with its own private entrance, it offers a wonderfully secluded and peaceful base for rest, reflection, and renewal.
The Cottage sleeps up to three guests, with a king-size bed and en-suite, plus a separate sofa bed in the lounge area. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a dining table seating three. Joe and Cathy leave tea, coffee, milk and a sweet treat — cake or flapjacks — to welcome every guest.
Guests are free to enjoy all the outdoor areas of The Wellspring gardens, and there are also two outdoor spaces exclusive to Cottage guests. Ample off-road parking and strong, private Wi-Fi are provided. There is no television, but guests can easily access streaming services such as Netflix if they wish during their stay.
Please note: the Cottage is part of a barn conversion and is accessed via three shallow steps with supporting handrails through the garden terrace.
