Ian, We stayed at Stanford Abbey hotel. It was very good. Between Worcester and Malvern, and down a country lane. Interesting building, special breed sheep in the next meadow. Good base. I got a deal on ‘Secret Escapes’.
Avis gave me an orange/black Smart car at B’ham airport. It was quite well equipped and I was only going to the factory because Morgan computer based spec system didn’t work at the dealers. Still have an S5 with no radio.
Have fun
+1 for Stanford Abbey
