When the day draws to a close, make your way upstairs to two well-presented bedrooms, the first of which is a spacious king-size bedroom, offering ample storage space and dressing table, whilst the second spacious bedroom comprises twin beds, ideal for children, families or friends sharing.
An elegant family bathroom awaits every morning, appointed with a roll-top slipper bath along with a walk-in shower, so you can choose how best to start your day before joining your guests outside for a steaming cup of coffee.

Great place to stay!
Came 3 years ago to propose to my now wife and we came back for our honeymoon. Lovely just like before and the location is great, super clean and comfy. Close to some great places to go for the day bewdley is well worth a visit. The Manor pub for food and drinks is amazing super friendly and a even better thing dog friendly. The local walks are another great bonus with maps for walks in the welcome pack. Can’t wait to come back again.
Lovely place - would love to come back again!
There were just a couple of issues stopping us giving it the full 5⭐ - We had an issue with the shower but that was quickly resolved by the owner. There was nowhere to put toiletries in the small shower and no anti slip mat. There were instructions for pretty much everything except for the hot tub (we only found the welcome info etc the day before we left as they were hidden in a drawer! The hot tub had a bad musty smell when you open the lid & bi test strips etc. (We're only mentioning these things to help) Besides that we had a lovely time and felt very comfortable in the Little Beehive!
No complaints at all but I would like to make a couple of suggestions: Please include a warning in the description that dogs are NOT permitted upstairs.
I only say this because our dog has always slept in her dog bed on the floor next to my Son’s bed since she was a puppy. Leaving her downstairs crying was heartbreaking & lead to sleepless nights for all of us. Including this in the description of the property would help future clients to make an informed choice. The rear gate to the garden is just on a latch, it blew open on a number of occasions so might I suggest a locking device is put in place for security? A simple slide bar would do the job.
