Holiday Ideas
Description
The same high standards which were set whilst providing 5 star Bed and Breakfast are in place for the benefit of our self-catering guests. The house is arranged with 1 twin and 1 double room, both large, sumptuously furnished and with en suite shower room. Guests have exclusive use of a large kitchen/dining room and an equally-sized comfortable lounge with all the facilities you might expect. Plenty of parking, lovely gardens and a woodland 'hideaway' in 4 acres complete the scene for a truly enjoyable stay. The house is 70 yards from a quiet road and the driveway is 350 yards from the centre of the village of Hanley Swan which is typically English having a village green (with oak tree), a pub, butcher/deli, duck pond and village shop. There's an amazing amount to do in the surrounding area, as well! We are just 1 mile from the Three Counties showground and only 1 more mile than that from one of the most beautiful and mature golf courses in the country, The Worcestershire Golf Club.

Note's on interior
:
Cygnet Lodge is a part Victorian, part half-timbered farmhouse first built in the 1600’s. It is surrounded by 4 acres of pastures including an interesting mediaeval moated area. The house was extended in 1896 and it is this section which is used by our guests. No longer a working farm, it has been restored to its former glory by its present owners and is full of character, being set in spacious and colourful private gardens.
Bedroom Facilities
:
Each of our large bedrooms is furnished to an extremely high standard, with an excellent en-suite shower room. When providing B&B (which ceased in 2006), we achieved an English Tourist Board grading of Five Diamonds with a Gold Award, the first and one of only three in the Malvern area. That put us in the top ½% of the UK’s Bed & Breakfasts! Now that we offer those same facilities as a self-catering holiday home, guests can be assured of the highest levels of comfort and tranquillity. We have spared no expense to ensure the quality of the surroundings. The bedrooms are provided with everything you would wish to find and the double room has a direct dial telephone. Also provided is a built-in dressing table with all-round illumination and a power socket for a hair drier. Fresh flowers and a complimentary, ’welcome pack’ complete the welcome. Tasteful double glazing and controllable heating add to the comfort of the rooms, and sumptuous carpets, curtains and soft furnishings complete the feel of unashamed luxury. There are two bedrooms: one double and one twin-bedded.
Bathroom Facilities
:
Each room has a high-quality shower room with sink, WC and towel radiator - the showers are thermostatically controlled high-pressure units.
