• "A well thought out comfortable cottage which is nicely decorated with easy access to many areas of interest."

  We enjoyed sitting in the garden as we were lucky enough to have a few days of sunshine. Thank you for the milk, tea and tasty brownies!

• "Pretty much all very good."

  We loved the bungalow & it had a modern & spacious feel. Bed was comfy & so nice to be provided with large bath towels! Kitchen was well equipped & appliances were easy to use & not having a dishwasher was no big deal. Only 2 small gripes...1) if we'd have known there was a dvd player we'd have brought a good supply of dvds 2) & as the smart TV's performance - especially on its catch up & streaming options - was affected by wi-fi &/or arial quality issues, having knowledge of a dvd player would've helped greatly. However, that aside, we rate the property highly & recommend it to other would-be stayers.

  We found it very comfortable, with everything we could possibly need provided.

• "Had a lovely week at Garden Cottage, the property has plenty of room for two and is clean and well maintained and very well equipped even down to the electric toothbrush charger in the bathroom, its the first time we've come across that."

  We found it took a while to heat up the cottage probably due to the stone flooring but there were cosy blankets provided in the living room and i bet in the summer when the weather is warmer it will stay lovely and cool. The only slight negative for us was the mattress on the bed was a bit too soft but we're used to a firm one so that is just down to personal preference and wouldn't put us off booking again.The cottage very well placed for days out in the area with the Malvern hill and the Cotswolds within easy reach. Recommend The Blue Bell pub if you like a curry the food was delicious with friendly and welcoming staff.

• "We had a wonderful time at Garden Cottage,the owners Penny and Mike were very friendly and greeted us with a packet of biscuits and some milk."

  Everything was fine and of good quality apart from the kitchen waste bin - the lid was broken. The kitchen utensils were of high quality but we did miss having an electric whisk for our soups. The location of the Cottage was ideal for exploring the area and there is an excellent pub about 4mins walk away. We were so impressed with our stay at Garden Cottage we have already made a 4 week booking for next year.

• "Had a fabulous short break over the New Year, Garden cottage was exactly as described, lovely, comfortable and clean."

  Great location for some local walks and easy access to the local town of Upton upon Severn and only a short drive into Worcester. Our hosts made us very welcome and even provided a bottle of fizz and mince pies to celebrate the New year.

• "Fabulous accommodation a real credit to its owners."

  Immaculately clean and so comfortable, a true home from home. Lots of places to visit and the Bluebell Gurka pub (which is literally a 3 minute walk away) is welcoming, friendly and food was gorgeous. Thank you so much, we will be back.

• "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

  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!

  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.

  This is the first Sykes cottage we have booked and the first of four holiday rentals this year where the windows were sparkling on arrival and even cleaned whilst we were there!
