Broadway, Worcestershire
A 17th-century farmhouse on the escarpment above Broadway, with views across the Vale of Evesham that improve with every glass. Family-owned and quite unpretentious.
There is a fine spa and the Potting Shed pub, and dogs are welcomed with a bed and a guide to the local walks. A cosy, reliable bolthole.
