About this property

Above The Pub a characterful first-floor holiday apartment nestled above the award-winning Weighbridge pub in the heart of charming Alvechurch village. Perfect for adults, groups of friends, and families with teenagers (12+) seeking an authentic and lively village experience.

Step inside this delightful period apartment and discover two welcoming bedrooms. The spacious super-king-size bedroom offers flexibility with the option to be set up as a twin on request. The bunk room provides an additional sleeping space, perfect for older children or extra guests. Freshen up in the sleek shower room before heading to the well-equipped kitchen to prepare delicious meals for your loved ones. Relax in the characterful living/dining room, complete with a welcoming electric fire for those cooler evenings. Gather around the dining table for meals or to plan your adventures. With a Smart TV available, you can unwind with your favourite shows after a day of exploring. Above The Pub sits in a vibrant location—directly above the Weighbridge, Alvechurch's award-winning pub. This is a key feature of the property. Expect to hear ambient sounds from the pub, particularly quiz nights and weekend celebrations, typically until 11:30pm. This is part of the authentic charm—many guests love being in the heart of village life with excellent ales and live entertainment just downstairs. However, this property is best suited for guests who enjoy an active pub atmosphere and aren't seeking a quiet retreat.

The apartment itself is a historic property with original features including period wooden floors, characterful layouts with subtle level changes between rooms, and charming period details. These add to its unique appeal and authentic Worcestershire character.

Alvechurch is a picturesque village offering easy access to local amenities including canal walks, countryside footpaths, and the welcoming Weighbridge pub downstairs.

For a day out, Redditch is just a short drive away, offering Redditch Golf Club for a round of golf, the Forge Mill Needle Museum to explore the area's industrial heritage, or Abbey Stadium for sporting events.

For a larger excursion to Birmingham (approximately 20 minutes), visit the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham for a fascinating underwater adventure, shop at Bullring & Grand Central, and discover a variety of independent shops, pubs, restaurants, and gift shops.

Don't miss Worcester, just a scenic drive away. Marvel at the stunning Worcester Cathedral, explore the National Trust property Greyfriars House and Garden, and take a peaceful stroll by the South Quay Fountains.

Nestled in the Severn Valley in southeast Shropshire, between the towns of Bridgnorth and Kidderminster is this charming village of Alveley. The village is known for its fantastic access to the Shropshire Hills aonb and the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve, as well as being within reach of the Bodenham Arboretum and the family attraction of Rays Farm Country Matters & Woodland Walks.

The Severn Valley Country Park and Severn Valley Railway are also within reach, both making for fantastic excursions for all ages. Spend the day in the nearby town of Kidderminster, where the delights of the Trimpley Reservoir and Habberley Trail, along with the West Midland Safari Park and local golf club await.

    Drying rack would be useful as no tumble dryer to complement washing machine 2. More hangers for the wardrobe, 6 was not enough for a longer stay 3. Internet speed could be better - I 'worked from home' two of the days and it struggled with video calls 4. Kitchen roll (paper towels) in the kitchen

  • Kath

    Parking at pub/marina secured overnight. Weighbridge pub friendly with great service and good food. Close to canal paths for easy walks to more local pubs. Already thinking of booking for next year!

  • Sandra

    All the staff including in the pub below were very friendly. We found the TV OK but if was tuned into WiFi, it could be better. There were plenty of dishes, pots, pans etc but we didn't locate chopping boards. Overall, we'd definitely visit again.
