Our Story

A Dream Realised

Nestled in the serene rural beauty of Worcestershire, The Mount is a family vision brought to life by James and Hayley Bamford. Over two painstaking years, five beautiful barns were lovingly transformed — preserving their original character whilst introducing every modern luxury.

Eco-conscious from the ground up, running on solar and air source heating, set just four miles from historic Droitwich Spa.
