The Alms House West

An idyllic setting - looking out over farmland to horizons north and south dominated respectively by the Malvern and Cotswold hills.

Two miles from Tewkesbury, which is one of the nicest market towns in England and boasts an abbey and two beautiful rivers. Close to Elgar country, the Welsh borders, Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, it offers a wide choice of places to visit. Well equipped, comfortably furnished, effectively heated and full of little thoughtful touches to make a stay more enjoyable. Owner and cleaner - if you bump into them - are delightful and welcoming. Well-equipped kitchen and wonderful bath! A good place for a quiet retreat or to recharge your batteries and to soak up the beauty of this part of England's heartland.

Very happy with location and house, we would definitely return, house and been lovingly restored.

Bit cramped in the living room and would have liked blackout curtains in the bedroom to keep out the early morning light. Other than that I would still give 5/5.

A beautiful location - really peaceful with stunning views.

The accommodation is well equipped, comfortable and cosy with everything you’d need for a long or short stay. We walked into Tewkesbury along the line of the Severn to Mythe Bridge which was lovely and also had a great afternoon at Lower Lode Inn watching the rowers and enjoying the sunshine. Would highly recommend. Thank you Anabel ☺️

A winter let has always been a slightly depressing event as a place tries to shake off the damp and cold and months of little use.

So the Alms House (West) was a much appreciated surprise. It was warm and with a friendly feel. It was comfortable, there was always ready hot water, and - best of all - there were easy to use devices (e.g. cooker, microwave). It wasn't over equipped, but had the things you might want. We were very comfortable. Anabel, the owner was very approachable and helpful.

We loved this cottage which was comfy and well-epuipped.

Set just beyond a beautiful church with churchyard it’s in a quiet village with an interesting history. 3 miles from the beautiful town of Tewksbury, Forthampton is on the edge of the Cotswolds, well-placed to drive to the well-known Cotswolds towns like Chipping Campden and Broadway. The roads were good yet still quiet, taking us through pretty countryside. There is a good village pub with riverside setting, 1.5 miles away, a short drive or a walk through the fields. All in all a great stay, thanks so much Anabel.

This is our second stay at the Almshouse and it was just as perfect as our first stay.

Fantastic location, lovely and peaceful and only a 5 minute drive from the lovely town of Tewkesbury. The house has everything you need for your stay away, lovely and clean, comfortable and dog friendly. We were lucky enough to stay during a meteor shower and enjoyed star gazing, watching shooting stars and the amazing aurora as well as the regular bats that make their evening appearance. The boot room is excellent for drying any wet weather gear and drying out your dogs. There are lots of really lovely pubs only a short distance away serving great locally sourced food and the beer also goes down a treat! We all highly enjoy our stays here and we hope to be heading back again next year.

Excellent property.

Facilities were very good and the whole house was both clean and comfortable. Great base for visiting local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However, the only gripe was the bed size! A double and 2 singles. So the booking description was inaccurate and misleading, enough said!!!

What a wonderful stay we had!

Fantastic location(only 5 minutes drive into Tewkesbury). Very beautiful grounds and views overlooking the Malvern hills in which we enjoyed watching the wildlife and the sunsets and at night bat watching was brilliant. We would highly recommend this property to others and we have now book again for our Christmas here( family close by) Many thanks to Anabel the owner who was very lovely and chatty.

The Alms House is a beautiful and peaceful place.

It was clean and well equipped for a family of four. We really enjoyed having our breakfasts in the garden watching the birds and after a busy day out exploring, watching the sun go down over the Malvern Hills with a glass of wine. Lots of places to visit for all the family such as the Malvern Hills, Tewkesbury, Warwick Castle and West Midlands Safari Park. The two sofas were comfy to relax and watch TV on and the children enjoyed the novelty of having a separate staircase to their bedroom. We all had a great week and didn't want to leave. Thank you.

What a gem of a find, one of the most peaceful breaks we have had, everything was perfect and would not change a thing, the wildlife is amazing, also nearby Tewkesbury, Ledbury, Ross on Wye, Gloucester and Worcester are lovely places, we will be back here many times i think and would recomend, Many thanks to the owners Dean, Nikki and Boo the lurcher

Beautiful cottage with gorgeous views from all windows.

Only a 5 minute drive from Tewkesbury. Definitely recommend.

Oh my goodness What an amazing property, place and views Local history very interesting All in all a wonderful time was had by all

A unique place to stay, with a sense of history and stepping back in time Lovely sunny cottage, fabulous views, and many beautiful walks to enjoy in the surrounding countryside.

Beautiful, cosy and quiet cottage with all the essentials and an ideal location.

This is one of the places we intend to return to.

Great place to stay!

Really ideal property and nice and quiet. Great for the dogs and plenty of walks around!

The Alms house was delightful, clean and cosy.

The property is set in a very quiet location with beautiful countryside views, perfect for couples travelling with a dog. The extra boot room attached to the back of the property was so useful for wet clothes and umbrella's. The house was comfortable and equipped with all that we needed. A lovely break away.

Thank you for the excellent customer service, the personalised card you left us and the treats in the hamper is a lively touch.

The cottage is lovely and Mt dad enjoyed his stay, the only thing we could suggest is a BBQ would have been amazing to enjoy the lovely sunset with. Thank you again and I will be sure to recommend your cottage to any future family visit.

Our stay in August was lovely.

The cottage has been renovated recently to a decent high standard and the owner has gone beyond with the small but very welcoming touch's. The location is really nice, peaceful and the views and Church right by the cottage are just amazing. As the listing states you can't park outside but your car is left off the road and is accessible down a short walk through the church grounds. The local attractions are really good. Tewkesbury Abbey and The John Moore Countryside Museum in Tewkesbury is a must, if you can book a tour it's really good. Boat trips along the Avon is a must too.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at this property and highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all.

The location was just perfect, quiet and relaxing, yet only a short drive away from the lovely town of Tewkesbury, which has a great selection of cafes, shops, pubs, restaurants and a great chippy. The house has everything you could need to make your stay relaxing, and the little extra's that were provided to make our stay just that little bit special, were very welcome. If taking dogs, there are some lovely local walks right on your doorstep. We all agreed that we would love to come back again as we enjoyed our stay so much.

We had a pleasant stay at the Alms cottage.

A beautiful setting and lovely views from the garden. The cottage was central to a lot of the places we visited such as Gloucester cathedral. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

We absolutely loved staying at the Alms House.

The location was perfect. So peaceful and quiet. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The bath was amazing! The location was ideal to get out and about to discover the various counties. We would definitely recommend this beautiful house. We will return in the future.

This is a beautifully renovated property.

The attention to detail is excellent - all kitchen equipment and facilities that were needed were there. The location is stunning - lovely views all around. Access to the address wasn’t an issue for us, but could be more testing for others as access is via the church drive and cars need to be parked back on the main road.
