About Hop Pickers Rural Retreats

Just a stone's throw from the River Teme and five minutes from the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site is well located for enjoying the outdoors. Guests here can enjoy a relaxing glamping getaway, with only a handful of accommodation options onsite. Sleeping up to two, the cosy 5m bell tent is set on a raised wooden deck, equipped fully furnished with everything you will need for a comfortable stay.

For cooking up meals, you will also have a converted trailer kitted out with a two-ring induction hob, a small fridge, cooking equipment and wooden worktops with bar stools, perfect for chilling out undercover. The Hideaway shepherd's hut is also ideal for two, set in its private area of the woodland with views over the neighbouring hills. The hut also comes fully furnished with a king size bed, a TV, log burner and underfloor heating, along with a kitchen with a double oven and fridge/freezer. For that extra touch of luxury, you will have an ensuite shower room with linen, towels and even bathrobes.

A note from the site themselves...

Hop Pickers Rural Retreats is our family home and we have welcomed guests since 2011 in our first property, the 17th Century converted barn. We have gradually developed over the years with the log cabin in 2014 and the Shepherds hut in 2016, finally adding the bell tent -which was created and managed by our middle daughter- in 2020.

It's a small team with just the three of us and a local cleaner, so guests can feel at home and relax knowing we will do our very best to help you make the most of your holiday. We carefully planned each property to be away from another so they do not overlook each other creating your own private space to relax and enjoy.
