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 Upper Mews is more suited for up to two guests however it could accommodate up to 4 people for very short stay. (e.g. A family staying 2 nights where the majority of the time was spent outside the property, for instance attending a wedding.) The sofa bed for the two additional guests is in the main living area. Once this bed is set out there isn’t anywhere to comfortably sit and relax in the main living area.
No outdoor shoes upstairs in the property. The Entrance hall has underfloor heating to encourage you to remove your shoes before you go upstairs and slippers are provided.

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

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!
