Lower House Garden & Plas Bach Self-Catering

Lower House Garden & Plas Bach Self-Catering Plas Bach (Little Palace) at Lower House is a romantic retreat for two, set in the beautiful Box Garden of our secluded 7-acre valley.

A new, slightly ancient, fur companion for Mr LH. Welcome to Lower House, Meg! She’s actually ‘Megatron’, bizarrely, but we think she looks more like a Meg 🥰 Rescued from a friend that was unable to look after her. Both Meg and grandad were here hiding in the conservatory from the rambunctious Easter egg hunting grandkids…

Salix Alba Britzensis branches going *FREE* if anyone wants any! The trees have had their 2 year pollard and the branches are in a pile ready for anyone that wants them. For willow weaving (plant supports perhaps?) or stick them in the ground to grow. Beautiful firey red new-growth branches. Scroll for pics :)

Drop Mr LH an email on [email protected] or call 01497820773 to arrange, or just pop by, he’s nearly always pottering around the garden somewhere. Comment on here too :)

*First photo is from 3 years ago, as Mabli looked cute 🥰

🌳Winter walks into the woods to pay homage to Mrs Lower House’s stone cairn alongside the stream, which she built when she did an Andy Golesworthy inspired project when studying garden design at Pershore.
