Mary's shepherd's hut
Evening at the hut with the firepit going

  • Shepherd’s hut in a pretty paddock just outside the Malvern Hills
  • A 10-minute drive to Three Counties Showground and Upton-upon-Severn
  • Adults-only unit with access to self-catering facilities and bathroom
All about time in the outdoors? Hikes, bike rides and a generous portion of spectacular views? Then settle into the shepherd’s hut in the grounds of Micklefield Cottage, a fab spot in a south Worcestershire paddock, in sight of the Malvern Hills. This hut is in the hamlet of Welland Stone, so you’ll be well positioned to hit a variety of walking and cycling paths in the local area. At the same time, a laidback day of coffees, tasty bites or beers can be tracked down in Upton-on-Severn’s shops, cafés and pubs, 10 minutes’ drive from the site. The town hosts a variety of events – just check out what’s on ahead of time as jazz, blues and folk festivals are all on the schedule here. The Three Counties Showground is a 10-minute drive away and organises events like the Royal Three Counties Show and the RHS Malvern Spring Garden Show. Back on base, the electric-heated hut has access to a private toilet and shower – so there’ll be no sharing with other guests – and outside is a firepit/barbecue with a picnic table for alfresco meals. Separate self-catering facilities are on hand for making food. And inside? Well, there’s electric lighting, power points and a USB charging point, plus twin beds that can be converted into a double if needed – all you need for a cosy little time.

Mary's shepherd's hut

Liked: We returned to Micklefield Cottage this year, after a lovely weekend here last year.

We love this place and the hosts!

Naomi and Mark are so friendly and accommodating.

The Shepherd's hut is cosy and comfortable. We love sitting outside with the firepit on for a bbq, looking out to the lovely views.

It's so convenient having a kitchen and shower area for sole use. We go shopping at the local shops and farmers markets and come back to cook on the fire. A very lovely experience!

Mary's shepherd's hut

Liked: Lovely surroundings and really friendly owners.

If you are looking for a peaceful break, this is definitely the place!

We had a lovely time exploring the local area and enjoyed the fire in the evening. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfy!

Disliked: Nothing really...only the fact that we struggled to get a phone signal and WiFi was intermittent (not the owners fault at all!)

Mary's shepherd's hut

Liked: I had the most wonderful stay at Mary's shepherd's hut. Naomi and Mark couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful, and the facilities are top-notch. The hut is lovely, with power sockets, heater & fan (neither were needed!), and an extremely comfortable bed. There's a well-equipped separate kitchen with dining area and woodburning stove, as well as separate toilet and shower (for your use only - not shared with anyone else). I spent a lovely evening sitting reading by the firepit, getting to know farm cat Lily (quite a character!), and listening to the sounds of the countryside. Thoroughly recommended.

Mary's shepherd's hut

Liked: Have stayed in many sites through pitchup this was one of the best. Seperate kitchen area was a definite plus, the shower and toilet facilities were spotless. The whole site was clean and well looked after. The owners could not of been more friendly and helpful. As an animal lover the onsite horses, cat and dog were a welcome delight. However if you are not a fan of animals they equally wouldnt bother you at all. Peaceful surroundings with walks you can take, short drive into a lovely village with shops and pubs. Would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning.

Disliked: Not a single thing!

Local attractions

If you’re yet to check out the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll soon find out that the hilly landscapes are pretty spectacular – Sugarloaf Hill (20 minutes' drive) and Perseverance Hill (15 minutes) in particular. That’s what makes this area such ripe hiking and walking grounds – but with a variety of historic sights around, history buffs should also find themselves properly entertained. First of all, check out Great Malvern Priory (15 minutes) and Tewkesbury Abbey (20 minutes), two fine examples of a Benedictine monastery. Then pay a visit to the gorgeous Worcester Cathedral (half an hour) overlooking the river Severn for more cool architecture and bites of history. With the National Trust’s Croome (20 minutes) close by, you’ll also be set to explore an 18th-century country house, including the walled garden, exhibitions, collections and a World War II airbase exhibition. For another peaceful afternoon, of shopping perhaps, Ledbury (20 minutes) has some splendid independent shops (and a poetry festival if you time your visit right).
