Peacock Villa
Golden Gates Lodge, located in the middle of Eastnor Castle's deer park, comprises two listed buildings, separated by a gold and black wrought iron gate. Many years ago, carriages used to come down from the British Camp on the Malvern Hills, through Golden Gates, to the Castle gates in the village. More recently though, the Lodge has been by-passed. Golden Gates lies close to the footpath which crosses the Park and takes walkers up onto the ridge of the Malvern Hills and the Worcestershire Way. The Ridgeway Wood, just behind the Lodge, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and visitors can follow the drive up to the gates at the top of the Ridgeway or join another footpath that crosses it and leads up to Clutters Cave, also on the Hills.
Peacock Villa is a recently refurbished, spacious detached Edwardian cottage lying on the edge of the Eastnor Castle Estate on southern tip of the Malvern Hills. It is located within a 20 minute drive of the M5. The property occupies a remote but accessible rural setting with glorious views for those seeking a 'get away from it all' experience. Walkers will love the fact that you can walk out of the front door straight on to the Malvern Hills. Access to the property is via a ½ mile hilly stone track.
Guests at both properties will enjoy complimentary entry to Eastnor Castle during public opening times.
The ancient town of Ledbury, 4 miles away, is well worth a visit and boasts a good selection of pubs, food and craft shops. Further afield and within a 30 minute drive are Tewkesbury Abbey, Hereford and Gloucester Cathedrals, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean.

The kitchen, with dining table for 4 people, is fully equipped with electric oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine and microwave. A kitchen door provides a side entrance. The twin bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. The smaller lodge, the other side of the gates, has been converted into a very cosy double bedroom, with separate lavatory, and a separate shower room with wash basin.
Close to the smaller lodge, but at a lower level and accessed down some stone steps, is the terrace with tables and chairs with magnificent views of the lakes and parkland.
There is ample parking and guests are allowed to take one well behaved dog(kitchen/sitting room only).
