Strategic Location Choice
Due to severe flooding incidents in the 2020s, prioritize hotels located on higher ground. Avoid accommodations near riverbanks or low-lying areas to ensure safety and comfort during your stay.
Tenbury Wells is a quiet market town in the north-western extremity of the Malvern Hills District, Worcestershire, England. Situated just 6 miles southeast of Ludlow, with its northern border adjoining Shropshire, it serves as an excellent base for exploring the Malvern Hills and the historic town of Ludlow. The town retains a traditional charm suitable for frequent-flyer travelers seeking a peaceful retreat. However, visitors should be aware that since the 2020s, Tenbury Wells has been subject to almost annual severe flooding. When selecting accommodation, prioritize locations on higher ground to ensure safety and comfort. With a population of approximately 5,224 (as of the 2021 census joint data with Burford), it offers a low-density, tranquil environment away from major urban hubs.

As you settle into your seat inside this beautiful 16th-century barn, you’re struck by what a stunning restaurant setting it is. Situated on the Netherwood Estate, ensure you take a look around its garden before dining, as much of the produce you see will be on your plate a little later. The kitchen is run under the auspices of experienced operator Andrew Sheridan and pairs the local produce with occasional East Asian influences, such as Japanese milk bread. Save yourself the journey home by staying over in one of the luxury bedrooms on the other side of the courtyard.
WebsiteIn the 19C this was home to a wheelwright; then it was a stop for drovers and waggoners to enjoy a quick snack or ‘bait’; now it’s a friendly country pub welcoming allcomers with its rustic look and friendly atmosphere. The assured yet understated modern British dishes are well priced and nicely balanced and, most importantly, deliver bags of flavour. Make a night of it and book a lodge with a hot tub.
