  • Small site in the grounds of a Callow End traditional village pub
  • A 15-minute drive from the Malvern Hills and Worcester
  • Large beer garden with outdoor tables, play area and chickens
For those couples/travelling parties that frequently face disagreement over whose turn it is to be designated driver, there’s really only one sensible solution: bed down right there at the pub. Dozing off at the bar might be considered a little unseemly, so The Old Bush’s owners Matt and Karen have come up with a better solution and set up pitches in the garden area behind their rural Worcestershire pub. Thus guests can partake of dinners accompanied by a few local ales/ciders before strolling home (to a peaceful corner with drinking water, showers and 24-hour toilets) in just a couple of minutes – how civilised. In fact, the whole setup here is rather civilised: The Old Bush is a traditional country pub in the little village of Callow End, with food available at lunch and dinner times, plus a menu of mini meals for smaller guests. On warmer days the merriment spills out into the garden, where there’s a play area, an aviary and a little flock of chickens along with plenty of tables for open-air drinking, dining and admiring the views over the Malvern hills. Of course, one can’t sit around in the pub all day (well, maybe not every day, anyway…), so it’s worth noting that this is also a handy location for walks, horse riding, games of golf, fishing and days out in Worcester and Malvern (both 15 minutes away by car). Handily, if you do ‘accidentally’ sup one too many at lunchtime there’s a bus stop in the village so you can still get out and about.

What customers say

Tidy, welcoming spot with flat spots, clean loos, and ace showers. Pub next door is a winner for food and vibes. Cafe/shop has fresh stuff and yummy cakes. Nice country spot for walks. A few mention it's on a slope, showers are through the pub garden.

Liked When we arrived I went into the pub to ask where we go and paid the pitch fee, only then was I informed that the pub was not doing any food that evening, one of the reasons we chose this place,we were then told of 2 other pubs

Disliked Was given 2 other pubs to try by the staff one does not do food on a Tuesday which if your local you would know and the other was miles away too far to walk.

Power optional gravel motorhome site

Liked This was a brilliant find on our way from The Lakes to Devon. We needed a last minute stop over and booking and check-in were super simple. Hard standing and facilities were excellent for our T5 and super easy to access even arriving at 10pm having booked an hour earlier. Welcoming bar staff ensured there was still time for a drink if we wanted. Aviary and play equipment were great for daughter in the morning. Liked it so much we stayed for lunch before heading on. Super accessible to M5. Wi-Fi access and 24/7 showers and toilets. A perfect stopover for us! Would recommend for anyone doing similar.

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for that pub dinner and drinks with walks through grassland, heath and woods in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty (15 minutes’ drive). You can also wander with woolly company from Simply Alpaca (25 minutes), play games of golf (10 minutes) or saddle up for horseback hacks (10 minutes’ walk). Guests with an eye for greenery may like to schedule outings to some of the area’s fine gardens: Spetchley Park Gardens (15 minutes) and Showborough House sculpture garden (20 minutes) are both worth a stop, as are the walled gardens at the National Trust’s Croome Court (20 minutes). It’s also worth taking a wander around Worcester (15 minutes) to visit the cathedral and Elgar Birthplace Museum, or to settle down for lengthy day watching the wickets at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground. Upton upon Severn (10 minutes) and Malvern (15 minutes) are other local options for town days.
