Fodor's Expert Review Timberstone

The Read family has turned a rambling stone cottage in the Clee Hills into a welcoming haven with rooms furnished in neutral tones in a soothing, contemporary style. The Clay Room has its own balcony and a double-ended slipper bath in the room, and the Slate Room has wooden beams and views to Titterstone Clee Hill. Meanwhile, the Retreat, a wooden cabin at the end of the garden, offers total seclusion. Books and games abound, and reflexology treatment, a sauna, and evening meals are options if you wish to stay put. The whole detached cottage can also be hired out on a self-catering basis.
