Ready to face the (sweet) music? Named after composer Edward Elgar, who was born in the nearby village of Lower Broadheath (about five minutes’ drive away), Elgar’s Shepherd’s Huts doubles down on the local connection with the renowned artist by calling its luxury huts Nimrod and Enigma (two of his orchestral works).
In addition to spectacular views of the Malvern Hills (maybe the very same views that inspired Elgar’s music?), the tastefully furnished huts at this adults-only site come with comfortable double beds (cosy duvet and all bedding, plus towels, are included). Each hut also has an ensuite shower room and toilet, plus a well-equipped kitchen with a butler sink, two cooking hobs, fridge, toaster and kettle, as well as a generous supply of tea, coffee, sugar and milk.
You can relax with a hot brew (or a glass of wine, if you prefer…) at the dining table, or sip it outside, on the raised decked area, as you fill your lungs with fresh country air. After dark, solar-powered lights illuminate the decking, making it a pretty spot for a meal à deux… If you don’t fancy the idea of cooking during your romantic holiday, the nearest restaurant (and pub) is in Upper Broadheath, about one mile away (a 20-minute walk or a short drive), with loads more dining options in Worcester (20 minutes’ drive).

Local attractions
When staying at this site, it’s almost your duty to learn more about Elgar. That’s easily done at National Trust - The Firs: Elgar’s Birthplace (five minutes’ drive), a pretty country cottage that now displays assorted artefacts that belonged to the composer. The visitor centre has a piano that you can play, should inspiration strike, or you can embark on a musical journey at Elgar Soundscapes, in the garden.
You can continue your Elgar education in Worcester, where a statue of the composer sits at the southern end of the High Street, facing the 11th-century cathedral, with its spectacular stained-glass windows (many of them dating from Victorian times). The city is also known for its delicate porcelain, which you can admire at the Museum of Royal Worcester.
Epic hikes (including some long-distance trails) await at Malvern Hills National Landscape (25 minutes), an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with far-reaching views – from the top of the Worcester Beacon, you can see as far as Wales on a clear day. As you stroll through the area’s woodland, you might spot woodpeckers and butterflies.
