“A wonderful location equipped with lots of facilities to keep the children (young and old!”

) busy. Would recommend a trip to Croome Park and Malvern Hills.

Mrs Webb October 2019

“Our family of 3 had the most relaxing time at the tack room.”

It was a well needed break and we felt so relaxed there. Every detail has been thought of including games, puzzles, books, cosy throws and a very well equipped kitchen. The highlight was the jacuzzi/ jet pool with access via the kitchen door. We used it daily ( a number of times we realised we had been in for 3 hours!) my daughter age 6 loved the pool and the games room, which was equipped with table tennis, pool, darts, books, music and outdoor games for good weather. There were lots of outdoor seating areas dotted about the pretty garden, and we saw the occasional rabbit and squirrel enjoying the garden too! We all agree it was the best cottage we have stayed in so far and the welcome from Fiona was so warm. She was so kind and helpful and respected our privacy equally. Upton upon Severn is a gorgeous little town filled with gorgeous antique shops and interior boutiques. It has a good selection of pubs and restaurants and very picturesque along the river. We had a great lunch sitting in at Upton chippy, great food and friendly service. In fact in every shop we were met with unusually friendly, happy people, it was a delight to browse round the town. We visited nearby Malvern which was also very pretty too. We usually like to only try somewhere once but we have decided we would love to make this an annual break if we can so it must be top notch for us to have come to that conclusion. Thank you Dan and Fiona and Skye holiday cottages for a great holiday!

Mrs Dunne September 2019

“We loved the place and the hosts were very nice and helpful people who looked after us well the only downside was the heating which didnt seem to come on when it should as the double room was the furtherest away from the thermastat that bedroom didnt get warm at all.”

- Mrs Dunne, September 2019
Mrs Hollywood September 2019

“This long weekend break at The Tack Room was the lovliest break my family and I have had; the welcome, the location, the facilities, the little extras on arrival, the hosts really did think of everything and we had the most relaxing time ever - they even managed to get the weather right for us somehow?”

! Amazing! We really hope to return as this little gem would be just as lovely in the winter time I am sure. The Pool and the Games Room were lovely additions and my teenage son was never "bored" once - miracles do happen here! Thanks to all involved in making this a most memorable holiday.

- Mrs Hollywood, September 2019

Mrs Piddington June 2019

“The Tack Room is the best cottage I've ever been to.”

Fiona and Dan are wonderful, caring people and they do their best to see that everything is to your liking. The indoor pool/jacuzzi attached to the kitchen is awesome. We went swimming every day either before or after our outing for the day. The games room is great for having fun at any time of the day with table tennis, pool or darts. What more could you want. If you need to have some relaxation there are plenty of books, jigsaws and board games. This was our second stay in the Tack Room and it won't be our last.

- Mrs Piddington, June 2019
Mr Brown May 2019

Mr Edwards January 2019

“Absolutely everything was provided, met on arrival shown all the amenities, indoor pool was a big bonus, games room had everything to enjoy, pool table, darts and table tennis, games a plenty.”

- Mr Edwards, January 2019
Mrs Bridgwater November 2018

“Dan and Fiona have made the Tack Room into a first class, home from home, holiday cottage.”

You need take nothing with you other than your personal effects as everything that you might need has been provided. The swimming pool and games room are a bonus for those times you don't want to go out. Quiet peaceful location, 15 mins by car from the Malverns for beautiful walks. Good road links to Worcester, Tewksbury, etcetera. Temperatures dropped below freezing whilst we were there, but we were very snug and warm. The owners live on site, are most helpful and friendly and respect your privacy. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Bridgwater, November 2018
Mr Julyan November 2018

“This holiday cottage is perfect for a relaxing break, the owners have thought of everything that is required for your stay.”

Can only say that this place was an excellent choice and would recommend it to anyone who wants a peaceful relaxing break.Fabulous and will return.

- Mr Julyan, November 2018
Mrs Spencer October 2018

“Peace and quiet was fantastic.”

Facilities excellent for all of us, particularly for the 2 grandchildren children. Having the swimming pool connected to the kitchen was a bonus so easy for monitoring the children. The owners who lived on site were lovely and extremely helpful. It was Halloween while we were there and Fiona very kindly allowed our 7 year old to call on them for trick or treat which made our granddaughter night. Look forward to returning again sometime next year

- Mrs Spencer, October 2018
Mrs Smith June 2018

“The accommodation was spotless and extra touches such as milk, tea, coffee, biscuits & milk on arrival were a welcome surprise.”

It was also lovely to have all the kitchen and bathroom necessities available. Fiona and Dan were very friendly and helpful when needed. As an extra note, visitors might like to know that local pubs do not seem to do food on a Sunday evenings (mainly catering for Sunday lunches.)

- Mrs Smith, June 2018
Mrs Piddington June 2018

“We were amazed at both the facilities and also how well equipped the tack room was.”

We knew there was a pool but didn't realise it would be attached to the cottage and the size was larger than we expected. It was cleaned every day and although a shared pool, we had it to ourselves most days. The games room had everything you could want, a pool table, table tennis, darts, swing ball, shuttlecocks, a CD player with many CDs. The tack room also well equipped with washing machine, dish washer, both with the necessary tablets/liquid to put in the machines, DVD player with many DVDs, books, jigsaws, board games. We really only needed to take clothes and food with us as everything else was provided. Fiona and Dan were both very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Add to all that, the area has plenty of attractions so no time to be bored and we are definitely going back next year.

- Mrs Piddington, June 2018

The cottage was lovely and cleaned to an extremely high standard. We were made to feel so welcome. The games room had everything you needed for a relaxing break. My children spent most of their time in the pool or in the games room playing pool, table tennis or choosing one of the many games and activities available. We have stayed in lots of cottages over the last few years and this is the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

- Miss Govin, January 2015
Dr Mackay October 2014

“The owners were very friendly and helpful without being obtrusive.”

The Tack Room was well situated for walking to the nearest town Upton-upon-Severn. Plenty of good walking around about. The property and owners catered well for a dog accompanying guests (as did the local pubs where you could get a meal with the dog). The swimming pool was a really lovely addition to the property. Lots of information provided by the owner about the local area

Ms Fox July 2013

“The owner did absolutely everything possible to make our stay memorable, from a wonderful welcome pack, to offers of ice cream for the kids on hot days.”

The pool and games room kept the children happily occupied so I could get some afternoon naps to combat the jet-lag. The cottage is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated throughout, and it's apparent that great consideration has gone into providing everything guests need for a relaxing holiday. We loved absolutely everything about The Tack Room, it was the most peaceful and relaxing retreat to come home to at the end of a day's exploring.
