Lodges in Worcestershire

Picture the bubbles rising in your hot tub as the sun drops behind the long blue ridge of the Malverns, with orchard blossom on the breeze and a pub supper in Pershore still to come. That's the pull of lodges in Worcestershire. You get the hills, the river, a cathedral city and the edge of the Cotswolds, all within about half an hour of a quiet spot in the countryside with views for miles. Then you head back, light the barbecue and let the evening slow right down.

It's a small county, and that's the joy of it.

We've picked six real holiday lodge parks and log cabins in Worcestershire from our own listings, with drive times, sleeping numbers and pet rules. Then we've added the best area to stay in, the 2026 parking charges on the hills, the big events and a packing list.

Log cabins with hot tubs in Worcestershire: six parks we'd book

Five of these six list hot tubs, and four are dog friendly. Drive times are from central Worcester, so tap a column to sort by whatever matters most.

If you're short on time, here's our pick for each kind of trip.

1. A romantic escape for two: Bowbrook, which is adults only
2. A big family get-together: Malvern View, sleeping up to 8
3. A hot tub break with the dog: Bredon View or Croft Farm
4. A group of six exploring the Cotswolds: Cotswold Gateway Escape
5. Kids who love the outdoors: Woodside, with five pools for wild swimming

Bowbrook Lodges, near Pershore

Driving Distance: About 16 minutes (9.2 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 2 | Hot tubs? Yes | Pet friendly? No | Adults only

Couples only, and rated 5 out of 5 by our guests. Bowbrook mixes cosy lodges with quirky glamping safari tents on quiet farmland, where sheep often wander the next field. Stroll down through the meadow to the Bow Brook, then look back for views to the Cotswolds and the hills. If you've been searching for Bowbrook lodges by name, this is the one.

Bredon View, below Bredon Hill

Driving Distance: About 25 minutes (11.4 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 4 | Hot tubs? Yes | Pet friendly? Yes

Golfers, take note: there's an 18-hole course on site, and holiday guests play it free of charge all year.

The lodges sit on the edge of a working farm in Hoseasons' Autograph collection, each with a private outdoor hot tub and Bredon Hill filling the views. Tewkesbury and Pershore are both close, with riverside walks along the Avon nearby.

Malvern View Country and Leisure Park, on the Herefordshire border

Driving Distance: About 26 minutes (15.7 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 8 | Hot tubs? No | Pet friendly? Yes | Fishing

Over 30 red deer live in the site's own deer reserve, with viewing platforms and feeding bays for the kids. Three fishing lakes and walking trails spread across more than 100 acres of farmland.

There aren't hot tubs here, but the biggest places sleep 8.

Croft Farm Water Park, near Tewkesbury

Driving Distance: About 28 minutes (18.6 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 6 | Hot tubs? Yes | Pet friendly? Yes

Wake up to the lake. Croft Farm sits in the Avon Valley just outside medieval Tewkesbury, and each lodge has a spacious living area, a well-equipped kitchen and views across the water. Bredon Hill, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean are all nearby. Our guide to lodges near Tewkesbury covers the town.

Cotswold Gateway Escape, Vale of Evesham

Driving Distance: About 33 minutes (20 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 6 | Hot tubs? Yes | Pet friendly? Yes | Fishing

Want the Cotswolds without the Cotswold traffic? This Autograph collection site sits in the Vale of Evesham near Broadway, and each luxury lodge has its own private hot tub.

Bring the bikes or your fishing gear, because walks start from the door and a riverside pub is a short stroll away. See our lodges near Broadway guide if the village is the big draw.

Woodside Lodges Country Park, near Ledbury

Driving Distance: About 36 minutes (19.1 miles) | Sleeps: Up to 7 | Hot tubs? Yes | Pet friendly? Yes | Fishing

Just over the border in Herefordshire, Woodside has won the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation every year since 2005. Its 25 acres hold five natural pools and two fishing lakes. Kids can try wild swimming or pond-dipping. Then fire up the barbecue and stay out for the stars. Ledbury, with cycle hire, is about 10 minutes away, and our lodges near Ledbury page covers that side of the hills.

What amenities do log cabins in Worcestershire have?

These are self-catering stays with a kitchen to cook in, but the facilities vary a lot from one site to the next.

• Private hot tubs: every lodge at Bredon View and Cotswold Gateway Escape has one, and Bowbrook, Croft Farm and Woodside list them too.
• Fishing: lakes at Malvern View, Woodside and Cotswold Gateway Escape.
• Golf: free on the 18-hole course at Bredon View.
• Wildlife: red deer at Malvern View and wildflower meadows at Woodside.
• Swimming pool: none of the six lists an indoor swimming pool, so look further afield if that's a must.

Looking for Wi-Fi, a log burner or an enclosed garden for the dog? Check each lodge's own page for that information, as it changes from cabin to cabin. Our dog friendly lodges search shows every pet friendly stay in one place.

Where are the best lodges in Worcestershire for your trip?

The log cabins in Worcestershire sit in four quite different corners.

The Malverns, for walkers and dog owners

The ridge runs about 8 miles along the Herefordshire border, with paths up from almost every village. Malvern View and Woodside sit on either side of it, with the best views from the top.

Pershore and Bredon Hill, for couples and golfers

Quiet lanes, orchards and Pershore Abbey, with Bowbrook and Bredon View only a few miles apart and a farm shop or two nearby.

The Vale of Evesham and Broadway, for foodies

Asparagus farms, Broadway Tower and Stratford-upon-Avon are all nearby, and the views from the tower reach right across the vale. Cotswold Gateway Escape is your base here, and our lodges near Evesham guide lists a few more.

Tewkesbury and the Avon, for mixed groups

Croft Farm's lakeside lodges sit on the Gloucestershire edge, handy for Tewkesbury Abbey, Cheltenham and the Forest of Dean.

Things to do on weekend breaks in Worcestershire

How hard is the walk up Worcestershire Beacon?

Not too bad, if you take it steady. Climb from Great Malvern past St Ann's Well, where natural spring water still runs from a carved marble spout in a café building dating from 1813. At 425 metres, the summit is the highest point in Worcestershire, with views west into Herefordshire and east across Worcester to the Cotswolds.

• Worcestershire Beacon: the steep classic from Great Malvern via St Ann's Well
• British Camp: a shorter loop round the ramparts of an Iron Age hillfort
• End to end: the whole ridge, about 10 miles

Parking: the Malvern Hills Trust runs ten pay and display car parks, and since 1 April 2026 a £6.50 day ticket covers all of them that day. After 6pm it's £3.75, and there's no overnight parking.

Worcester Cathedral and the city

Worcester Cathedral rises straight from the riverbank, and inside is the tomb of King John, who sealed Magna Carta. Guided tours, usually at weekends, climb the tower's 235 steps to where Charles II watched his army before the Battle of Worcester in 1651, the last battle of the Civil War.

• The Museum of Royal Worcester tells the porcelain story and is open Tuesday to Sunday
• Worcestershire sauce, sold all over the world, is still made in the city
• The Christmas Market fills the streets around the cathedral from 3 to 6 December 2026

Steam trains and the Safari Park

The Severn Valley Railway runs steam trains 16 miles from Kidderminster through Bewdley to Bridgnorth, and Freedom of the Line tickets start from £26 for adults booked ahead. Hop off at Highley for the free Engine House and its outdoor play area, open from 10.45am. The West Midland Safari Park is just outside Bewdley, so the two make an easy family pairing for a log cabin weekend in north Worcestershire.

Croome and Witley Court

Croome was Capability Brown's first big commission, and he called it his "first and favourite child". Walk the hand-dug river past temples and follies, then see the museum in the wartime buildings of RAF Defford, once a secret radar station.

Witley Court is a huge ruined mansion in English Heritage's care. Its Perseus and Andromeda fountain fires from April to October, so ask for times at the ticket office. It's said to sound like an express train!

Is Broadway Tower worth the trip?

Yes, for the view alone. From the top you can see as many as 16 counties, and the Cold War nuclear bunker next door opens for tours at weekends and bank holidays from April to October.

Bredon Hill and Parsons Folly

Bredon Hill is quieter. A 6.2-mile circular walk climbs from Elmley Castle, past the Iron Age hillfort of Kemerton Camp, to Parsons Folly. That small 18th-century tower takes the summit to 1,000 feet. Allow about three hours.

Asparagus and plums in the Vale of Evesham

Vale of Evesham asparagus has PGI status, and the season runs from April to June. It kicks off on St George's Day at the Fleece Inn in Bretforton, with morris dancers and the first bundles of the year. In August, Pershore turns to plums for a fortnight, with a shop window competition and plenty to take home from the farm shop.

When's the best time for holidays in Worcestershire?

May and September are the sweet spots, with the most popular shows at the Three Counties Showground. Here are the main events with their 2026 dates.

Event	Where	2026 dates
British Asparagus Festival launch	Fleece Inn, Bretforton	23 April
RHS Malvern Spring Festival	Three Counties Showground	7 to 10 May
Upton Blues Festival (free)	Upton-upon-Severn	17 to 19 July
Pershore Plum Festival	Pershore	15 to 29 August
Malvern Autumn Show	Three Counties Showground	25 to 27 September
Worcester Christmas Market	Worcester city centre	3 to 6 December

Getting to your Worcestershire lodge

The M5 runs north to south through the county, so most of these sites are a short drive from a junction. GWR trains run direct from London Paddington to Evesham, Pershore, Worcester and Great Malvern, though you'll still want a car out in the countryside.

What to pack for a lodge break in the Malverns and the Vale

The hills are exposed even when the city feels mild, so pack for both.

Sharing a lodge for a Worcester getaway

A lodge for 6 at Croft Farm or Cotswold Gateway Escape often works out cheaper per person than three hotel rooms, and the whole family gets a kitchen, a lounge and a hot tub to share. Use this to see what everyone owes.
