The Moats cottage bed and breakfast near Ledbury and Malvern

The Moats Bed and Breakfast

The Moats is believed to be late Tudor, around 400 years old, though - like Trigger's broom - it's probably had a few heads and a few handles over the centuries!  The thick reed thatch and low ceilings make it cosy, but you do need to mind your head, as many of the doorways are unusually low.
