About Rosedene

A great spot for watching birds and butterflies near the Clent Hills with miles of walking trails nearby.

A truly unique opportunity to step back in time and experience staying in one of the few remaining Chartist cottages in the UK. ·This Grade II listed red-brick cottage remains largely unchanged since it was first occupied by early Chartists. The Victoria era was a time of remarkable British political change, which is brought back to life at Rosedene.·An organic garden is maintained at the front of the cottage with seasonal fruit and vegetables, and an orchard flourishes at the back of the house.This plot of land would have originally been allocated to the first occupants of the house for cultivation to supplement their diet and income.·Staying here is like having the experience of camping within walls, and all amenities are present at the property.

Rise early and take a walk to Chadsley Woods Nature Reserve, where its history can be traced back to the 13th centrury and is a great place for birdwatching and buterflies.  The Clent Hills and Waseley Hills Country Park are just six miles away from the cottage, with beautiful views and walks to explore with breathtaking panoramic views.

Located near the town of Bromsgrove, Rosedene is an ideal base to explore all the major towns, cities and attractions in the area including several National Trust properties.  Birmingham, Kidderminster and Worcester are within 30 minutes, there are several attractions suitable for the whole family close by as well.  Cadbury World, Stourport, The West Midlands Safari Park, Bewdley and The Wyre Forest Nature Reserve are all within 15 miles of Rosedene.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

To help find the best cottage for you, we have created our own quality rating system for our holiday cottages called the Acorn rating. Ranging from 1-5 Acorns, the rating gives you an indication of a property’s facilities, fixtures and fittings, with five being the highest quality level. The Acorn rating is not connected to any other industry rating system that may be used for holiday cottages and is only to be used as a guide that covers location, style of interior and the facilities you may be looking for. We do not set our cottage pricing based on the Acorn rating we have given a cottage as all our cottages are of an individual nature. Therefore, we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice. In addition, some of our cottages are curated to be sympathetic to their time period. This means that they might not have all of the aspects of modern living, but impress in so many other ways.

1 Acorn: simple living accommodation with basic furniture and fixtures fit for purpose and clean. Running water and a toilet are provided. There could be some limitations to heating and washing facilities – details of these will be stated clearly on the cottage's webpage. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied with a few exceptions, which are again clearly stated). Facilities for basic catering and living are provided. In general, a 1 Acorn cottage does not have WiFi.

2 Acorn: a mid-quality range of furniture and fittings. Bathroom facilities are basic or there may be a high number of guests to bathroom ratio depending on the size of the cottage. Very few 2 Acorn cottages have WiFi and the kitchen white goods and washing facilities are basic. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied in all 2-5 Acorn cottages.

3 Acorn: a good, standard offer. Generally it is correctly proportioned for the number of guests but could have a few compromises, for example a small kitchen, or a lower bathroom to guest ratio. The variety of white goods available will be better than a 2 Acorn cottage.

4 Acorn: these cottages have more premium furniture, fittings and lighting. Additionally the ratio of bathrooms to guests is likely to be higher, and the bathrooms would be more likely to have separate and spacious showers instead of showers over baths.

5 Acorn: a luxury accommodation offer with very few limiting factors. This is the highest offer available. It is well-equipped and has spacious facilities throughout the cottage or is set within an extraordinary location or building. The furniture is of a high standard, and has real comfort for modern living.
