Tanhouse Farm until recently was a working farm milking 95 cows, growing 40 acres of corn with a small number of beef cattle. Having always had a fascination for trees it was decided to put the farm into forestry. In the autumn/winter of 1998/99 Nebrow Hill Oak Wood was created, 110,000 trees were planted mainly hardwoods: oak, ash, walnut, sycamore. A farm track gives good access to walk or cycle through this peaceful part of the Severn vale.

The cottages are only a five-minute walk away from the banks of the Severn Estuary, with its stunning walks and breathtaking sunsets. The Severn, boasting the second highest rise and fall in tidal levels in the world, beaten only by the bay of Funday in Nova Scotia, spawns the famous 'Severn Bore'. A tidal wave that travels 20 miles upstream reaching heights of about 6-8 ft at its peak. Coarse fishing is available in Frampton on Severn on various canals and lakes. Trout fishing may be available (100yds from the cottages) ring for details. Cycle Hire, Snooker and Clay Pigeon shooting can also be arranged on the premises.

The Malthouse

The Malthouse as the name suggests was used from about 1850 for the malting of barley for the local breweries. Some evidence remains that a building already stood on the site that was extended, raised and converted to enable malt to be produced.

The building contains some striking architectural features that have been preserved giving the building immense character. Glass viewing panels have been incorporated to reveal some of the features, which could have been lost in a less sympathetic conversion, with the use of stunning pieces of quality furnishings we hope this property will surpass all of your expectations.
