About The Dell House

The Dell House offers B&B and self-catering accommodation. Since 2014 the current owners have been clearing the badly overgrown sections, exposing and restoring old paths and opening up previously inaccessible areas, adding a level paved terrace and paths and a range of thrilling tree carvings. The 16mm:1ft scale model railway may be running on open days, weather permitting.

The Dell House has been many things in its 200-year history: a rectory, a healing centre, a hostel for infirm children and a hotel as well as being a private home. It is affiliated to the Quiet Garden Movement and it is included in the ‘Survey of Historic Parks & Gardens in Worcestershire’.
