The Upper Mews is part of a converted Victorian house having undergone renovation to an excellent standard. It is fully furnished and equipped, self contained, quiet and private. This space is very unique.
It would suit people working away from home on a Monday to Friday or other short term basis, when flexibility is key. It further offers an excellent base to holiday from, exploring the diversity the surrounding area has to offer.

Guest Access
Guests have exclusive, private use of The Upper Mews.
In the summer months, there is also a table and chairs in the courtyard area (the courtyard area is shared with us) where you will be more than welcome to relax and soak up the last of the sunshine.

Parking
The courtyard is a shared area for home and business.
The Upper Mews has free parking for one car only. The parking spot is on the right hand side of the courtyard, in front of the woodshed so as to not block access to the door of the Farmhouse, the Upper Mews or the White Garage doors.
Additional cars must be left on the road outside the property.

COVID 19
We are committed to Airbnb’s advanced cleaning protocol and have made sure we adhere to this when we clean and sanitise The Upper Mews ready to welcome you.

In addition to this protocol, we have decided at this time to not provide towels for your personal use nor any food and beverage items to further decrease the risk of the transmission of CV 19 between guests.
***Please remember to bring these items with you.***

We do provide hand wash, hand sanitiser, surface disinfectant, and wipes for your use during your stay with us.

We have also made the decision to close The Upper Mews for 24 hours between the last guest’s departure and your arrival.

We hope you are accepting of these changes and we do look forward to a time when we can return to a more usual welcome for our guests.

The photos don’t do this amazing space justice! Clean, warm and welcoming, the apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is amazing value for money. I would definitely recommend to friends and stay again!

Weekend Trip
A lovely place to stay with a lovely host! When I told Sarah I was vegan, she was kind enough to buy vegan treats for when we arrived at The Upper Mews. Highly recommend! X

Weekend Trip
What a brilliant find! You will not be disappointed with this quirky little apartment. We had an amazing stay in Bromsgrove. We were welcomed by Sarah, who is absolutely lovely, she was very helpful and accommodating. The apartment is furnished to a very high standard and has all the amenities you would want in a home away from home. In such peaceful surroundings, we ventured out to The Queen’s Head for dinner, which is highly recommended and is around a 12 minute drive from the apartment. Sarah was very hospitable, allowing us to have an earlier check-in and later check-out. All in all, a great stay! Thank you, Sarah. We’ll be back soon! X
Gurj, October 2019

It is our third time returning to Sarah’s wonderful place and we still can not fault it. It’s a beautiful quiet country escape that we will continue to return to again and again when in need of a last minute weekend away!

This place is fabulous. Great communication and prompt response. My weekend at the upper mews was amazing – just the peace and quiet I was craving to get my dissertation finished. Hosts were hugely accommodating and thoughtful touches such a treat hamper certainly got me through the early hours. Place is amazing with great attention to detail. When can I come back pls?
Yvonne, from England, June 2018

The drive to the property was beautiful itself. Soon as we saw the black front door we knew it had character. Once the door was opened everything was laid out perfectly. Amazing house and surroundings make this a little gem. Furnishings where spot on. Nothing to complain about. Communication was perfect and anything we needed all we had to do was ask. I can see why this place is always booked up. Lived up to the hype. Will be back soon. Thumbs up.

Air BnB say: Another successful 3 months….
“Wow, it’s time to celebrate. You’re one of the few hosts who earned Superhost status four quarters in a row!
Keeping your response rate high and getting great reviews while hosting frequently is a true achievement.”
Air BnB, Oct 2017

Amazing! The entire place was spotless and above an average Air BnB.
By far, the best place we stayed at during our Eurotrip.
Highly recommend!!!!
