Alistair Sawday from Special Places to Stay:

"A half-moated farmhouse in a magical spot: the timbered part - 14th century and listed - peeps through the trees as you approach. Gorgeous in summer (terrace,tennis, gardens, ducks) but light, relaxing and spacious all year round: antiques, soft colours and an open fire in the guest sitting room, fresh fabrics and carpeted comfort in the bedrooms, and peaceful views to Abberley Hills and beyond. Roger and Anne are generous hosts and give you local bacon at breakfast and stewed fruits and jam from their plums. Make time for Great Witley, the most stunning baroque church in England."
