The details

Nestled high above the breathtaking Teme Valley, Tawney Wood Lodge offers a truly special escape where nature takes centre stage. Set within an acre of steep woodland, this beautifully designed timber-clad shipping container invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with the rhythms of the countryside. From the elevated deck areas, you can gaze into the treetops as birds flit between branches, or simply sit quietly and listen to the gentle soundtrack of rustling leaves and distant wildlife.

Inside, the lodge is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort without compromising its eco-conscious ethos. It sleeps up to four guests across two cosy bedrooms, with a welcoming double room and a second bedroom featuring adult-sized bunk beds. The open-plan living space is warm and inviting, with underfloor heating powered by LPG gas and a stylish wood-burning stove that makes cooler evenings especially snug. Despite its off-grid credentials, you’ll still enjoy modern conveniences including mains water, hot showers and reliable WiFi, making it easy to strike your own balance between disconnecting and staying in touch.

Step outside and the magic really unfolds. Two separate deck areas offer completely different perspectives of the surrounding landscape. One sits high among the trees, giving you a rare chance to feel immersed in the canopy itself, while the other provides a peaceful spot to soak up views of the garden and wildflower meadow below. The grounds have been carefully cultivated to support local wildlife, so you’re likely to spot everything from birds of prey and tawny owls to deer and even the occasional wandering sheep.

Beyond the lodge, the Teme Valley is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with scenic routes like the Worcester Way weaving through unspoilt countryside. Explore historic orchards, discover traditional hop fields or visit nearby Tenbury Wells, famed for its unique mistletoe market. For something a little different, the iconic Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb offers a fascinating glimpse into motorsport history. Whether you’re here to explore or simply unwind, Tawney Wood Lodge is a place where nature and tranquillity come effortlessly together.

My family and I had one of the most relaxing times away here. It is so quiet and cozy and sitting outside on the deck simply listening to the birds and trees move by the wind was fabulous… We’ve never been anywhere off-grid with sustainable living, so this was a wonderful opportunity to learn as well as enjoy. Surrounding area is breathtaking with beautiful views and friendly sheep and cows that really bring you into nature????. Thank you Rachel for this excellent getaway!

We had an absolutely blissful stay at Tawney Wood Cabin. Rachel has created something truly magical. The cabin itself is comfortable and spacious with absolutely everything you could need. The bread, eggs and local cider left for us for were delicious. The beds were super comfortable. But the star of the show has to be the outdoors space. The plot has been so beautifully landscaped and spending our Saturday afternoon and evening on the decking area was a wonderful way to spend our time after a hike around some of the local area. Rachel is a great host and even posted some boots that we carelessly left behind which arrived within a couple of days of us leaving. If you have an opportunity to book, do it! You won’t regret it.
