Mrs Cossens
September 2020

“Lovely cottage in a stunning location”

- Mrs Cossens, September 2020
Dr Richards September 2020

“Sunnyside was well equipped and comfortable - perfect for the 4 of us.”

Excellent value for money. The arrival and exit procedures gave us confidence that it is Covid-secure. Brilliant location for exploring the Malvern Hills, with extensive walks from right outside the door, and the warm weather all week was perfect for exploring. Good local shops within a short drive, and historic Malvern and Ledbury both less than 15 mins away. Plenty of local options for eating out - we can highly recommend Sunday lunch at The Wellington Inn. And food/drinks with fabulous views from The Kettle Sings and The Chase Inn within easy walking distance.

- Dr Richards, September 2020
Mrs Curnock August 2020

“Definitely great for walking directly from cottage.”

Malvern Hills Hotel excellent for food.

- Mrs Curnock, August 2020
Mrs Munday December 2019

“Beautiful walks straight from the door, lovely cosy cottage”

- Mrs Munday, December 2019
Miss Gardner December 2019

“We had a lovely warm welcome from Bernard and Gwen next door.”

Lovely cosy, comfortable cottage, home from home. Great for the dogs too, as it’s central to explore the Malverns with easy walking access to the hills. Great pub 2 minutes walk, very friendly and lovely food. Can’t recommend it enough, we will be back as soon as we can.

- Miss Gardner, December 2019
Mr King September 2019

“The accommodation was as expected, the location was perfect for our trip to the Malvern area.”

A very nice week Thank you

- Mr King, September 2019
Mr Francis September 2019

“The three of us had a great long weekend in Upper Colwall.”

The area is great for walking though a bit intimidating for ordinary walkers though there are many easier walks to be found. The house was to expectations from the pics online. The Chase Inn and the Wytch Inn the two closest pubs have great real ales, the Wytch is probably the best of the two for greatest choice but both have delightful people running them. The chase has a huge beer garden which is great for watching the sun go down. Malvern is a quaint little with a Morrisons super market for the bigger shopping spree.

- Mr Francis, September 2019
Mrs Hughes August 2019

“Cosy, homely place and perfectly located for attending a family wedding.”

- Mrs Hughes, August 2019
Miss Newton-Edwards June 2019

“Good location 1 mile walk to local shops good pub 5 mins walk away and located near to footpaths up to malvern hills.”

House is easy to live in and has everthing you need

- Miss Newton-Edwards, June 2019
Mrs Evans May 2019

“We have stayed at Sunnyside many times, and it is a very warm, homely, comfortable cottage.”

The views from the front windows are spectacular, and the best part is being able to walk straight out on to the Malvern Hills.The owners are always helpful and friendly.

- Mrs Evans, May 2019
Mr Hazell April 2019

“Lovely location, perfect for accessing North and South hills.”

Home away from home, really restful experience.

- Mr Hazell, April 2019
Miss Thompson April 2019

“Thank you for booking us in short notice it was a very pleasant stay”

- Miss Thompson, April 2019
Mr Sly March 2019

“The cottage was in an ideal location for good walking and views and close by car to Malvern.”

The local The Chase Inn serves good food which is just a short walk away. The Malvern Hotel has a superb view from the main restaurant if you choose to dine there. Bernard (next door) gave us a lovely welcome. In most cottages that we have stayed in we have had a little welcome pack which has always been very much appreciated of course, so maybe a pint of milk and biscuits would be a nice touch. All in all we had the excellent sunny week.

- Mr Sly, March 2019
Ms Dayus March 2019

“We had a lovely stay in the cottage everything we needed was available.”

The only slightly negative comment was the neighbour who objected to.where we had parked our vehicle, he claimed it was in the spot that he parked in, but was opposite the cottage in what is essentially open access road parking. It is not the fault of the owners but for anyone of a nervous disposition it could be a little off putting.

- Ms Dayus, March 2019

Thank you for your comments. You are correct in that there is no allocated parking on the open access track and it was wrong for one of the neighbours to provide you with incorrect information. There is always usually a space behind the big red car (my father-in-laws) and this is virtually opposite Sunnyside. All of my guests staying at Sunnyside are informed of this on the pre-arrival instructions that I send out. We hope to welcome you back in the future, Thanks again, Sunnyside Owner's.

Mr Storr October 2018

“Great walking from the doorstep at this Malvern Hills centrally located property”

- Mr Storr, October 2018
Mr Pickett July 2018

“Very nice house set in the middle of the Malvern hills.”

Nice little pub called the chase inn near by. Any problems and Bernard next door will help you out. I highly recommend it every one. from Mike and Alan.

- Mr Pickett, July 2018
Mrs Evans June 2018

“Sunnyside is a lovely cottage - very comfortable and homely.”

The views are spectacular and it's position is great for stepping out of the door and walking straight onto the hills. I have stayed here on several occasions and would highly recommend it.

- Mrs Evans, June 2018
Mrs Hobhouse May 2018

“We enjoyed our stay very much.”

The cottage (once we found it!) it was great. in a great place for walks in the hills and longer trips to other towns, gardens and historic homes. We were very comfortable, everything provided so we had to bring very little. Would recommend it to others.

- Mrs Hobhouse, May 2018
Mrs Porter April 2018

“Nice cottage with very pretty views.”

However, the carpets needed a good clean, and the mattresses were rather short on comfort. The parking and garden are rather precipitous, and somewhat perilous for our elderly dog, and two teenagers learning to drive! The cottage is well equipped, with nice pictures, and certainly homely. We found, however, rather a collection of small black beetles, and ladybirds on most of the window sills, which obviously need to be dealt with before occupation. We enjoyed the area of the Malvern Hills an AONB and good local facilities, including the Chase Inn a short walk from the property.

- Mrs Porter, April 2018

Thank you for your comments, Sunnyside is located directly on the Malvern Hills, affording it amazing views and therefore it is raised in places as the photos on the website show from the back garden overlooking the property. A deep clean has been performed following your comments. Sykes owner relations
Ms Carter March 2018

“We had a really lovely week.”

The views from the cottage were fabulous and the changing landscape was beautiful, which meant that we didn't mind having to stay in and watch the rain! When the rain stopped there were great walks we could start from the front door so we didn't use the car much. We managed to be up on the Worcester Beacon with clear blue skies which meant we could see for miles. The local pub had excellent food and beer which also reduced car usage.

- Ms Carter, March 2018
Mrs Wyer February 2018

“Not suitable for people with walking difficulties”

- Mrs Wyer, February 2018

Thank you for your comments, Sunnyside is located directly on the Malvern Hills, affording it amazing views. I would agree that the cottage is not suitable for anyone that uses a mobility scooter, however many elderly guests that use a cane to aid their walking have enjoyed staying in the cottage.

Mr Braddick-southgate October 2017

“The owner was attentive, without being intrusive, and helpful.”

The atmosphere in the house was warm and friendly. The views from the front of the house are magnificent.

- Mr Braddick-southgate, October 2017
Mrs Lord June 2017

“Really comfortable, clean, well equipped cottage in a lovely peaceful location.”

Highly recommended.

- Mrs Lord, June 2017
Mr Williams April 2017

“The cottage was really nice and the location for our walking weekend was perfect as the paths to the Malvern Hills were right by the cottage.”

The real bonus was The Chase pub. Great food and beer and an absolutely stunning view from the beer garden.

- Mr Williams, April 2017
Mr Robertson March 2017

“A great little place.”

Peaceful and perfect for walking on the hills and two nice pubs a stone throw away. Don't throw stones though it's too much of a beautiful place

- Mr Robertson, March 2017
Mr Muldoon March 2017

“FRIENDLY RELATIVES NEXT DOOR”

- Mr Muldoon, March 2017

About the location

UPPER COLWALL

Malvern 2 miles.

The thriving village of Upper Colwall nestles on the western side of the Malvern Hills and boasts amazing long distance views. The village offers a traditional village CAMRA pub, a store, local butcher's shop, chemist and Post Office. Nearby, 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 nine-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. Also, 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 also available nearby and there are National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards to visit in the area. Malvern has many individual shops, cafes, art galleries and restaurants, a luxurious spa, and is also just a short drive from the Three Counties Showground. Malvern is the home of the Morgan car, which makes this area popular with enthusiasts. 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. A great holiday destination at any time of year.
