THIS HAND-sculptured 800-year-old British cave house has undergone an amazingly modern restoration to become a 21st century couple’s retreat that is available to book now from just £195 per night.

 

Images from the Rockhouse Retreat, located in the small village of Low Habberley, near Kidderminster in Worcestershire, show the rustic exterior of this fascinating and historic building which has been carved from a Triassic sandstone escarpment on the banks of Honey Brook.

The thought provoking renovation involved hundreds of man hours and the excavation of over seventy tonnes of rock and has resulted in what is surely one of the most uniquely romantic retreats in the UK.

The retreat is hidden amidst a wealth of natural beauty in three acres of private woodland and is believed to have been vacated in 1962, laying empty until its recent restoration.
