“Unfortunately we were told that there was an enclosed garden but not that there were 22 steep steps to get to it.”

The underfloor heating was good and the convector heaters downstairs but the radiators upstairs were cold and although we phoned Conrad who said he would call, he didn't. The cooker was not clean on the top. There were alive and dead flies all over the place. The big bins outside had not been emptied so we took our recycling home.

The underfloor heating was good and the convector heaters downstairs but the radiators upstairs were cold and although we phoned Conrad who said he would call, he didn't. The cooker was not clean on the top. There were alive and dead flies all over the place. The big bins outside had not been emptied so we took our recycling home. The beds were clean and comfortable however, and it was a good location. Generally not the standard we usually find with you.

“What a lovely place to stay.”

Very well equipped kitchen. Under floor heating a real bonus. Really cosy lounge. Both bedrooms were very well presented and cosy. The garden and the garden house were fab. It was just a bit too chilly to make full use of the garden house at this time of year. Just need to take care in the steps!! A great location for walks straight from the house. All four of us (and Henry the dog) had a lovely long weekend and definitely got some cobwebs blown away on top of the hills.

- Mrs Rooney, January 2020
“Could increase crockery, cutlery and glassware.”

Though the accommodation sleeps 4 people there were only 3 cereal bowls, 3 wine glasses. On arrival we had to empty the dishwasher as there was insufficient crockery to have a mug of tea. There seems to be a problem with flies, noticing on arrival a can of Raid insect spray on the shoe shrank

“I would refer you to my two phone calls regarding the complaints COR-137792-CF”

- Mr Somerset, December 2019

Many thanks for your valuable feedback, we are very disappointed that one of our properties has seemingly let us down and not provided you with the experienced that we had hoped for. We will be contacting the owner of this property shortly regarding the points you have raised. We will then be in touch with you to discuss this in more detail. In the meantime, if you need to contact us, our lines are open 7 days week from 9am until 7pm. Sykes owner relations
“We specifically, prior to booking this accommodation, enquired about the property having sufficient heating, since with our previous accommodation (we had a 6 month booking) we had to cancel, due to insufficient heating.”

We found the upstairs of the Coach House warm, but the downstairs with no heating, other than 2 electric heaters very cold. Also please not that on arrival, there were several dead flies and living flies in each room of the property. We hoovered fully the property on arrival. When returning on the 2nd day dead flies and living flies had returned. Possibly the flies are coming in out of the cold weather. Apart from the above, the cottage was well furnished and very nice. Though it would not suit us to rebook or recommend. We are now actively seeking further accommodation in January and February 2020

- Mr Raffles, November 2019

Thank you for your feedback and staying at The Coach House. We're sorry you had encountered issues during your stay, if you had mentioned this during your stay we would of been able to help. The heating throughout the property was checked upon your departure and found no issues. Regarding flies in the property, this was also checked and there was no evidence, although as mentioned the weather can affect this. Sykes owner relations
“Perfect half term break - very comfortable and clean property, walks from the doorstep and plenty to do nearby.”

- Mrs Thompson, October 2019
“Lovely cottage, well appointed in a lovely part of the country.”

The only disappointment was the road noise, especially at night which at times led to a disturbed night's sleep. Hadn't realised that the cottage is on an A road.

- Mr Gunster, September 2019
“Had problems with the WiFi at the Coach House, insofar as there was none.”

Paula from Malvern Housekeeping was really helpful, but at the end of the day, the fact we had to be at the property on 2 occasions out of our 7 day holiday to try and fix the WiFi problem was not good. Problems occurred with this the previous week and it was obvious an engineer from Talk Talk should be arranged, which we believe the owners eventually arranged for when they were in-situ the week after we left. The Coach House itself was lovely, tastefully decorated and beautifully furnished and the surrounding countryside gorgeous. More information on local walks from, or close by the accommodation would have been so useful, but the house folder contained none. A simple thing to correct

- Mrs Jeffreys, June 2019

I do apologise that there was an issue with the WiFi during your stay, unfortunately this was out of our control though we did endeavour to get this rectified during your stay. We are happy to say that this has now been fixed and in fact has been upgraded. Sykes owner relations
“We thougt the cottage was a very good standard.”

we used the single beds which were comfortable but the quilts were rather too hot. the kitchen was excellent overall but lacked oven cookware.

- Mr Bliss, June 2019
“Fabulous area for walking and sightseeing.”

Lovely NT properties in the nearby area. No negative comments at all. The house was warm and cosy and we enjoyed using the garden room. All in all an excellent week.

- Mrs Owen, May 2019
“The property has amazing potential but needed a really good clean .”

Lots of cobwebs on walls , behind sofas , lamps. Oven was really dirty. Duvet , all poppers were broken on cover which resulted in duvet cover coming off most nights.

- Mrs Roberts, April 2019
“A lovely warm comfortable property.”

Very nicely furnished. Good location.Access to house is a little difficult if approaching in the direction of Great Malvern.We had a problem with washer/dryer - basically dryer is out of action but can still be used as a washer.

- Mrs Greville, February 2019
“A lovely, clean and welcoming cottage in an ideal location.”

Very comfortable beds and lovely to have decent sized towels. Kitchen well equipped.

- Mrs Cole, February 2019
“Left, two days early, got fed up losing tv signal.”

Mobile signal rubbish, unless one stood in middle of road. Would have appreciated a small bench or seat, in the parking area, for those of us, with dodgy knees, who can’t climb the hill up to summer house. Apart from the above, good location (for us),cleanliness throughout excellent. Good furnishings (could have done with softer pillows). Lovely property overall. Chris, Feb 2019

- Mr Barton, February 2019
“Really nice finishing touches to the cottage like soft furnishings, solid wood placemats, high end white goods, etc.”

Really felt like the property was loved. Made us feel loved too.!

- Mr Uzzell, December 2018
“What a lovely place to stay.”

Very clean and comfortable. Cosy beds, brilliant shower and all you need. Summer house was a bonus with fantastic views. Would definately recommend staying here.

- Mr Bostock, October 2018
“The property was perfect for our needs.”

We had a great time exploring the area. Thank you

- Mrs Hardy, August 2018
“A very well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed.”

Fantastic views from the raised garden. You will not be disappointed if you book this accommodation for your holiday. It is very well placed to visit Wales and the surrounding counties. 10 out of 10.

- Mrs Helliwell, July 2018
“It may be wise to make sure that the garden description is clear as to how many steps to the garden as our old dog could not make it up to the garden as it 20 plus steep steps.”

however all great otherwisw.

- Mr Southee, July 2018
“This was a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country.”

Every thing we needed. And when we locked ourselves out, the wonderful Jaquie came to our rescue so very quickly.

- Mr Lawrance, June 2018
“I'm usually disappointed by some of my choices made on line, but I was really pleased with The Coach House.”

In fact, friends who live close by came over for coffee and said they could imagine living in the house. It is a lovely house, light and well decorated with really comfortable beds (a real bugbear with me that can spoil a holiday if a bumpy mattress keeps me awake). The views from the garden room are stunning and I can't even moan about the climb up to it with the dog as I was pre warned about it. A real find, only wished we could have stayed longer, a home from home if just for one week.

- Mrs Spilsted, June 2018
“We arrived at The Coach House to find it clean, well appointed and very comfortable.”

The facilities and furnishings were very tastefully done, in keeping with the period of the building. Wonderful views from the front of the building. We experienced a minor problem at the beginning of the week, losing the water supply for around 4 hours or so due to an external problem totally unconnected with the property and which Severn Trent Water were able to fix that same day. Fortunately, the Housekeeper, Jacquie, proved to be very helpful and she and her husband came to our rescue with a large canister of drinking water to tide us over until the supply was restored. All in all, a very nice stay and a property that we are happy to recommend to other members of the Sykes family.

- Mr Weeks, June 2018
“Holiday break and meeting friends”

Really nice location, view over plain brilliant. Elevated summer house super including view. Really well furnished and equipped, really comfortable. Dog friendly, summerhouse elevated garden fenced so very safe, though care needed going up the steps. Recommended if you want to holiday in this area.

“A neat little cottage, plenty of room for the two of us, in a good area for getting out and about.”

- Mrs Brown, May 2018
“I have loved every Sykes holiday I've had but with this one I couldn't get onto the internet to find places to visit as the password on the router wouldn't work on my tablet.”

A bit of a dissapointment but I had a large map so I managed in the end. I would still go back. Thank you

About the location

MALVERN

Ledbury 7 miles; Worcester 10 miles; Hereford 23 miles.

The beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern dates back to the Bronze Age and is situated on the eastern side of the dramatic Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills form a 9-mile range of ancient rock, which offers 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways with natural springs and long distance views in all directions. The town holds antiques fairs, WI country markets, farmers’ markets and many auctions throughout the year, as well as the Great Malvern Food Festival in June. Malvern has individual shops, cafes, galleries, restaurants, a luxurious spa and it’s own micro brewery. It is also just a short drive from the Three Counties Showground which hosts regular events most notably RHS Malvern (May), The Royal Three Counties Show (June) and the Malvern Autumn Show (September). The town is the home of the Morgan car which makes this area popular with motoring enthusiasts. The Malvern Theatre welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. The more energetic can try many outdoor activities including high ropes, climbing and abseiling. Fishing and river cruises are available nearby and there are National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards to visit in the area. The picturesque Forest of Dean with its range of attractions is only 30 miles away, and the cathedral city of Worcester offering modern amenities is a 20 minute drive away.
