The Boltholes - for when you want to escape

For when you just need a few days of rest and relaxation……..

The Boltholes are your own private escape pods. You arrive, close the door, and are immediately transported to a slower pace of life.

All pressure has been removed. There’s nothing you need to do, nowhere you have to be. The space is your own - comfortable, characterful, and arranged so that you can settle in with ease and feel at home.

Them you can head out into the hills, hit the town or stay exactly where you are. The decision is yours.

Step out of the norm

Staying at Barton Court isn’t about filling your time - it’s about making the best of it.

There is an old saying that ‘a change is as good as a rest’. You will find both here: a change of scenery and the environment in which to truly unwind.

There’s no schedule to follow. Mornings can start late - or not at all. Plans can change or disappear. You might go out for a walk, or you might not. You might cook, or open a bottle of wine and keep things simple.

Your own space

Each Bolthole is entirely self-contained.

You’re not sharing facilities or passing through communal areas. It’s your own front door, your own kitchen, your own place to settle into for a few days.

That privacy enhances the feeling of peace.

Character without compromise

They’re full of history and period features - but modern comfort is seamlessly interwoven into each space.

You get the charm of old buildings but without the frustration that often comes with them. Here, hot water is reliable and plentiful, heating is at the touch of a button and kitchens are properly equipped for modern life - that means a dishwasher in every bolthole, regardless of its size.

So you can soak up the atmosphere without sacrificing convenience

The Malvern Hills are right there when you want them.

Step outside and you’re straight into open countryside. Go for a walk, get some air, and come back when you’re ready.

Or stay in, close the door, and keep the outside world at a distance.
