Woodbury: Country house, Shepherd's Hut, stunning views & hot tub

Escape to the Worcestershire countryside and gather together at Woodbury, a beautifully restored historic Chartist house designed for memorable stays with family and friends. Tucked away in the peaceful village of Dodford, this stylish country retreat enjoys breathtaking views across 500 acres of ancient woodland, rolling farmland and, on clear days, the distant Malvern Hills.

Blending character, comfort and contemporary design, Woodbury offers the perfect setting for celebrations, reunions, family holidays, wedding accommodation, or simply a relaxing countryside escape.


A House Made for Togetherness

At the heart of Woodbury is a large sociable kitchen that flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining area and sun room. Filled with natural light and panoramic countryside views, this welcoming space is perfect for long breakfasts, shared cooking, leisurely dinners and late-night conversations.

The cosy sitting room, complete with a log-burning stove, offers a warm place to unwind after a day exploring the local area. For quieter moments, the separate summerhouse office provides a peaceful retreat for reading, catching up on work, or simply enjoying some calm.

Comfortable Accommodation

Woodbury comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests in the main house, with additional space for 2 more guests in the adjacent Shepherd’s Hut.

Main House

- Five beautifully furnished double bedrooms
- Four en-suite bathrooms
- Flexible layout ideal for mixed-age groups and multi-generational stays

Shepherd’s Hut

Set just a short stroll across the lawn, the self-contained Shepherd’s Hut offers extra privacy while remaining part of the group experience. It is ideal for grandparents, teenagers, or couples wanting their own peaceful hideaway.

Enjoy:
- A spacious terrace for outdoor dining
- Private hot tub overlooking the woodland

- Direct access to wonderful countryside walks

Whether you are soaking in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying drinks at sunset, or letting children run freely on the lawn, the outside spaces are just as special as the home itself.

Woodbury is especially well suited to:
- Large family holidays
- Milestone birthdays
- Anniversary celebrations
- Groups of friends reconnecting
- Multi-generational gatherings
- Wedding guest accommodation
- Peaceful countryside retreats

The layout offers plenty of communal space for spending quality time together, alongside quiet corners for privacy and relaxation.
