  • "We had a thoroughly wonderful break at Garden Cottage."

    It is very comfortable and very clean. A true "home from home". The cottage is ideally placed to explore the wonderful Cotswolds. We will certainly return for another stay at this cottage. A very big thank you.

  • "My wife and I were very impressed with how clean the property was."

    Everything was very modern and well designed. The owners had thought of everything to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The kitchen was very modern and well equipped. The carton of milk in the fridge and a packet of quality biscuits on the side was a nice touch. The property is very secure and gated and is within easy travel distance of Worcester and surrounding towns. The owners have supplied a folder of information, including details and menus of local restaurants and pubs. A very enjoyable stay indeed

    The owners were polite and would wave when our paths crossed. The bed was very comfortable. It is located in a quiet area. It was the perfect place for a getaway for wedding anniversary, and would stay here again in the future.

  • "We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Garden Cottage."

    We were surprised at how big the lounge was. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the evening, watching a film here! The layout of the property is spot on and the facilities were high quality. We were very happy with every aspect. Visited Upton-upon-Severn and Tewkesbury. Can't wait to visit again, hopefully, for longer!

  • "Comfortable and welcoming property."

    Good base for visiting the beautiful area. Milk and biscuits appreciated. The property is situated just outside Upton, approximately 2/3 miles, too far for us to walk. However, it is only 5 minutes in the car and there is free parking at the end of the town.

    The cottage suited us just fine, well furnished and clean and very comfortable, just right for a week away to unwind and enjoy this beautiful part of the country. The owners left us alone to enjoy our holiday, the cake and milk etc on our arrival was welcomed, a home from home touch.

    Thank you Penny for the lovely cake which you left for us. Although located near the A38, we were not disturbed by traffic noise as we did not want to sit outside. I was puzzled by the lack of a coffee table in the photo taken of the lounge. There is one, but I won't spoil the surprise. The cottage is in a very good location close to many local attractions and there is a pub only a few minutes walk away, serving Nepalese food. We met the two dogs only once in the back garden and they greeted us enthusiastically. Would certainly stay here again.

  • "Very nice property."

    All amenities as stated. Comfy bed and great bathroom. We visited over the Christmas period and did not go out much as the weather was not that good, considering a return come Summer. Upton on Seven is very quaint, like going back in time. Tewksbury has lot to offer shopping wise. For emergency milk, odds and sorts, a local Spar is less than 5mins away in Upton. Owners were very pleasant and stay out of the way, with two lovely friendly dogs, who do not make a noise at all, and who would, no doubt, give you a nasty lick, lol. Could do with a Television in the Bedroom but this is my preference, not everyone would share it. My wife is disabled and would have liked that. Ideal for a couple with a disabled spouse as this is the reason we chose this property. All rooms are at one level and compact. If we book again I will bring my portable. Property is very near to a main road, I must say we never heard any road noise at all. Highly recommended.

Worcester 12 miles; Great Malvern 6 miles; Tewkesbury 6 miles; Cheltenham 18 miles.

The pretty country town of Upton upon Severn lies on the banks of the River Severn and boasts a variety of delightful 17th century buildings and attractive shops, including 'The Pudding Shop', along with traditional inns, cafes, restaurants and its very own museum. It also plays host to many annual festivals, including Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals, as well as the Sunshine Music Festival. This thriving small town has its own marina, a vineyard and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm, plus the town’s medieval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th century cupola, known locally as 'The Pepperpot'. Just 6 miles away is the beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern, and the dramatic Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills offer 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways, and form a 9 mile range of ancient rock. The Great Malvern Food Festival in June is well worth a visit, as are the many events at the Three Counties Show Ground and the Malvern Theatre, which welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. There are many National Trust properties, vineyards and gardens in the area, as well as outdoor activities to suit all abilities. The nearby market towns such as Ledbury and Tewkesbury have a wealth of black-and-white houses and inns.
