Lying in the beautiful Vale of Evesham, on one of the only remaining original asparagus farms, Gras Lodge is surrounded by fields filled with the vegetable from which it takes its name. This former farm shop has been cleverly and sympathetically repurposed to provide a cosy, rural escape. High attention to detail and the wonderful use of colour gives great personality to Gras Lodge, and it sleeps four guests in two bedrooms. With Cotswold hotspots such as Broadway and Chipping Campden in one direction, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon in the other and easy access to the regency town of Cheltenham Spa, this is a great base from which to explore.
