There can be few more historic or romantic B&Bs than this, the home of the Taee family, built for the Abbot of Pershore in the early 1300s and restored under William Morris’s supervision, with original medieval architecture and fine antiques. Bedrooms and suites – some in the Coach House, with direct outdoor access – have Molton Brown toiletries, biscuits from the Taees’ craft bakery. Stone stairs lead to the panelled Abbots Chamber with oak four-poster, stone fireplace and in-room bath. Help yourself to a drink from the Pulpit Bar, take tea by the fire in the Great Hall on the terrace, walk in parkland, enjoy a first-rate breakfast, and stroll into picturesque Broadway, just beyond the yew hedge, to dine.
