If you plan to bring an electric vehicle, please add EV charging to your booking so we can ensure access during your stay.

While we are no longer an active working farm Hop Pickers enjoys a peaceful rural setting surrounded by farmland. Most of the time you'll hear birdsong, ducks and the occasional owl, but as with any countryside location, there may be seasonal agricultural activity nearby. From time to time you might hear tractors working in the fields or other farm machinery during busy periods such as harvest. These sounds are usually short-lived and are all part of the rhythm of the countryside.

Hop Pickers is surrounded by rural countryside, orchards and farmland, with far-reaching views across the Teme Valley. Depending on the season, you may see sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields, tractors working during planting or harvest, birds of prey soaring overhead, ducks in the pond and an abundance of local wildlife including rabbits, pheasants and muntjac deer. Spring brings blossom and newborn lambs, summer offers colourful wildflowers and buzzing bees, while autumn fills the valley with rich golden colours. On clear evenings, you'll often enjoy spectacular sunsets, brilliant bats and some wonderfully dark skies for stargazing.
