The Clock Tower

The Clock Tower is a bijou, brick and stone, self-catering one-bedroom cottage for two on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills. It offers privacy, character and complete escape on the Barton Court estate in Herefordshire.

Secluded, characterful and very, very, cosy, the cottage combines antique details with modern comforts. Inside you’ll find warmth, texture and a sense of being entirely away from the world.

Surrounded by walking routes from the doorstep, The Clock Tower is ideal for couples seeking time alone - whether for an anniversary, a restorative countryside weekend or simply being away together.

The Sitting Room

As you step straight into the cosy sitting room from the rose covered porch, you feel an immediate sense of relaxation.

This is a room that invites you to rest and put your feet up.

Two linen covered sofas face each other conversationally across an antique French coffee table, while under the stairs is a reading nook where you can stretch out to read or watch internet TV.

There is even a table where you can eat together or work - if you really have to.

The Kitchen

You may not want to cook while you are on holiday. Or, if you do, you want it to be as quick and painless as possible.

Alternatively, you may find cooking therapeutic so that an essential part of your break away is spending time in the kitchen.

Either way, the galley kitchen in the Clock Tower has everything you need from an air fryer to a microwave, a full oven to a dishwasher.

It may look vintage with its maple worktops and butler’s sink but it is fully functional.

The Bedroom

Getting a good night’s sleep is an essential part of any break away.

The antique sleigh bed in the Clock Tower has a comfortable modern mattress and topper for you to sink into after a day of exploration.

The bedroom has an ensuite toilet with a basin so there is no need to go downstairs once you have retired for the night.

Outside

As well as a paved garden, filled with aromats, just outside the kitchen door, there is also a decked area beyond where you can sit and gaze at the Malvern Hills.

  • "We just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for an amazing weekend! Fed up with being stuck in the city, your property was exactly what we needed to unwind and reconnect. The Clock Tower and surrounding grounds are so beautiful and well appointed. And you are such great hosts, we appreciated the privacy, but knowing you were a quick text message away was a great peace of mind."
