• "We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend to all our friends and family."

  The only negative was the lack of a footpath along the main road but, of course, there's not a lot that can be done about that.

• "Lovely, clean comfortable cosy cottage."

  Having 3 dogs we were delighted to see it had as described, a totally secure garden. The road next to the property is busy at the usual rush hour times but we soon got used to it. Ideally situated and plenty of dog walks close by.

  It made a lovely base for walks around the area. The bath was enjoyed and the cottage was equipped with everything we needed. Loved the enclosed garden so we could let our dog out. Would highly recommend.

  Lovely quiet area. On arrival I was greeted by the owner which was a nice touch and found that the basic essentials had been left for us plus a box of chocolates which was lovely and the beds were so comfortable me my daughter and my cousin all had the best weeks sleep we've had in ages gutted I didn't check what brand the mattresses were! Would 100% stay again.

• "We have just returned from a week at Yew Tree Cottage."

  We honestly cannot recommend this property and its location enough. An absolutely lovely cottage with amazing views across the Malvern Hills. A super area with lots to visit and wonderful scenery. The Cottage: absolutely perfect in every way ... immaculately clean in every room, very comfortable and warm, fabulous jacuzzi bath, jigsaws/books/board games, and a huge selection of DVD's. Wonderful, completely enclosed garden perfect for your dog and a bowl of Bonio biscuits - sadly we had just had to have our baby put to sleep before arriving but she would have loved it and it was the perfectly secure space for dogs, and their humans to enjoy. For the humans - a welcome selection of hot drink sachets, milk, bread, butter: thank you xxx. The Owners: so welcoming and approachable, but never encroached on our stay whatsoever; just knew they were available if we had a problem, which we didn't. I would have absolutely no hesitation at booking this wonderful holiday home again - only wish was that we had booked longer lol !!

• "It was a great location for my work at the Cheltenham Festival and ideal for walking the Malvern Hills."

  St Wunstans Nature reserve is also a gem. The wi fi connection was almost non-existent, although I appreciate this is a general problem in the area I think a router in the cottage would maybe help, rather than relying on an extension from the main property.

• "We had a lovely stay in spite of the weather."

  The cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The only problem was with the spa bath which when turned on filled the tub with black bits. Not a great problem to us as we are not great bathers and the shower was excellent. The folder of information about dog friendly areas and places to visit was very helpful as we had not visited the Malverns before. We are likely to book a return visit in the future.

  The large enclosed garden was a real bonus for our dogs. The welcome pack was very nice too. It might be useful to mention in future that the cottage has very low doors. My husband is 6ft 6 and spent the week having to duck! One small criticism, a smelly damp mop and bucket was left in the porch which wasn't very pleasant. Internet was very poor.

• "Absolutely lovely cottage with views over countryside and the Malvern Hills."

  Excellent non intrusive hosts who have gone the extra mile to provide a lovely comfortable environment for people to rest and relax. Fantastic welcome pack, Amazing beds, superb enclosed wrap around large private garden for people and dogs. To enjoy. We honestly cannot fault this cottage, it was one of the best and we have stayed in many over the past twenty years, We took 4 dogs with us, all dogs had ample space and comfort, the cottage was nice and warm and basically is a nice upmarket home from home. Nice and secure for dogs and we didn’t have a problem opening and shutting the gate to the property in fact we found the extra layer of security most welcome. The owners do live on site in a separate gated area but they are discreet and respectful of privacy and certainly did not encroach in any way. Thank you, we will be back . Rosemary and Con x

• "I stayed for 4 weeks, on my own with two dogs."

  I cannot fault the facilities but I constantly felt on edge. The sound insulation from next door is virtually non existent. I was tip toeing round. The accommodation is listed as pet friendly, but the layout didn't work for me. I hadn't realised the owners lived on site and had I known, for a 4 week stay, this was intrusive and not deliberate on the owners' part. Having to get my dogs in the car, open the main gate, shut it again behind me, became an inconvenience. Also sending texts to the owner and not having the courtesy of an acknowledgement, made me feel I had chosen the wrong place to stay. Lovely cottage but only condusive for a short stay.

  We sincerely apologise you felt this way whilst you stayed with us, we always respect our guests privacy and we are always on hand if needed. I honestly thought that we did our very best to accommodate any requirements or needs you had, such as repairing the damage caused by your dogs or when you locked yourself out of the house, had we not been on site this would have been problematic. The main gate is there as we are a dog friendly property and it would be our worst nightmare should a dog or child get out from a car and get out and run onto the road, I am aware you struggled with your dogs whilst here however this was a dog behavioural issue as they were constantly out of control rather than something we could help with. The damage left to bedlinen and mess across the house was quite unbelievable and we decided not to charge you any extra or take this out of your deposit, despite the linen having to be put in the bin. I do wonder if maybe I didn't receive some messages sent by you for some reason, as I came to meet you at departure to wish you goodbye and safe journey home as you had been here for a long time, yet you had already left.

• "On arrival the cottage was warm and welcoming with a couple of lights on and the heating too."

  The owners and their children were friendly and on the end of a phone for any queries and happy to wave as they/we came and went from the property. Lovely spacious bedrooms and beautifully comfortable beds/bedding. Great spa bath and overhead shower and fully equipped kitchen. The lounge was cosy, but, like I find in most holiday lets, the sofas are ready to be replaced. However, this fact did not spoil our stay. The cottage is in a lovely situation, below the Malvern ridge so don’t expect brilliant WiFi connection. I would recommend this cottage.

  Great location. Easy access to local sites Malvern Hills is a must. Local pub was a 5 minute walk and served superb food. The Indian platter was particularly favourite of ours. Thanks to Jess and Stuart were extremely helpful when we needed anything. There was a welcome pack of milk, butter, jam and bread and a jar of biscuits for the dogs too which they loved.

  The cottage had everything we needed and was beautiful. The paddock was incredible for our three dogs and very well enclosed. The cottage is in an amazing location, so close to all the places we wanted to visit and so close to beautiful dog walks up on the hills. The owners were perfect - there if we needed them but very much left us to get on with it. The cottage was so clean and obviously a lot of effort has been made to make it covid safe too. We had so much fun using the croquet game in he paddock too! I really could not recommend this place highly enough. Fantastic holiday. Thank you!

  It is a comfortable and well equipped property which the owners have maintained very well. Jess & her husband the owners werevery welcoming and had gone to great lengths with cleaning and preparations to make us feel safe particularly during these uncertain covid times. We are very appreciative of the great efforts that she had made in this regard which gave us great peace of mind.

  Yew Tree Cottage is very well appointed, it had everything we needed including a washing machine/tumble dryer and dishwasher, which my husband was extremely grateful for! The self-contained garden is huge and Alfie and Megan (our dogs) loved it. The garden is safe and secure. The owners Stuart and Jess, are lovely, they do not intrude but are always willing to stop and talk and were keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The area is picturesque with lots of interesting towns and villages within a short drive. If you are a walker then the Malvern hills are ideal with lots of flatter walks around. Yew Tree Cottage is on the border of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, with cities like Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester within easy reach. We will definitely be returning.
