Terry and Clare would like to offer you a warm and friendly welcome to Victoria House which is a Victorian semi detached residence built in the late 1800s in the traditional carpet town of Kidderminster. The front garden contains a fine specimen of the Monkey Puzzle tree as well as a large pine tree. There are 7 bedrooms varying in size and style but all with similar modern furnishings and an easy chair, fully double glazed and centrally heated. Triple, double and single rooms available - all rooms contain colour TVs and hospitality trays with blankets in addition to duvets as well as extra heaters. All our rooms are non smoking. There is open car parking for 6 cars at the rear.
A hearty full cooked breakfast is served in our bright and airy south facing breakfast room. Yoghurts, fresh fruit and cereals also served for those who desire a lighter start to the day. Special diets catered for on request.
