"The cottage was comfortable and very well located for visiting the town and the hills."
We appreciated the reserved parking spot which was extremely convenient as it was so close.
Our only slight criticism would be the electric hob which we found tricky to operate and the rather noisy extraction fan in the shower room toilet.
A plug-in motion sensitive night light may possibly be a better option for the upstairs landing than the small torch which we hadn’t noticed at first. The different floor levels made this hard to negotiate at night en route to the bathroom.
However we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage.

"A great cottage in a fabulous location."
The Malvern hills are on your doorstep, even if you are not a long distance walker you can experience the hills and the views without a long trek. The beds were super comfy. The parking space was very convenient. A smart tv would have been an added bonus. For us, the only negative was that we didn’t find the sofa that comfortable and the under the counter fridge that was set well back was awkward to use.

"We enjoyed Malvern, Worcester, Ledbury and Evesham."
Staying at May Tree Cottage gave us very easy walking access into Malvern. Having the use of the car park helped to keep things simple. We were worried about being right next to the Red Lion P.H. but that wasn't a problem at all.

"Parking at the cottage not possible, recommend renting the private parking space from the owner."
Cottage in an ideal spot, with pubs, shops and hill walks close at hand.

"Very nice, clean, quiet, property with a lot of natural light."
For those who are photophobic. At night, the kitchen lights came on whenever I walked into the room and I had no way to turn them off. Consequently, I was unable to use the kitchen properley when it was dark.
Secondly, there were four sumptuous pillows provided for the main bedroom but they were very, very plump and tight so I could not use the edge of even one of them to sleep. Perhaps a flat, slightly saggy pillow could be provided as a spare for people like me?

"The attractive location of the cottage (5 mins walk from Waitrose and hill walks from the door) is understated and a pleasant surprise."
Similarly, the proximity of the private parking area is not sufficiently emphasised - we drove straight past and it is difficult to turn round if you miss it.
The cottage itself is a little gem!

"The cottage ticked all our boxes and was very comfortable and within walking distance of hills, shops and restaurants."
Just perfect for us. Being able to park the car safely was important as too often you spend time looking for a car parking space.

"Malvern is a lovely place to visit and is a good base for visiting other areas such as Hereford and Gloucester."
There is Spring Water flowing out of a Statue over the road and locals fill their Kettles etc. The Cottage is quirky and comfortable, lots of surprises ( washing machine hidden in 2nd room in Basement ) It was nice to have a Bathroom and a Shower room. You do need to be able bodied to stay here, the Cottage is on a short steep hill and you have to go up and down it to do anything, also the stairs are quite steep but do have a rail. It was Dog friendly and the Neighbours had Dogs and were friendly too. There was a Park next to the Mount Pleasant Hotel to take our Dog for his early morning toileting needs ( very short walk away ) Local restaurants were good and of course the views were amazing. No parking issues, there is a Private parking space across the road. Thankyou to Alison for sharing her lovely Cottage x

Located in the centre of Great Malvern it is ideally situated for shops, restaurants and cafes and conveniently near to many places to interest. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well appointed and I would have no hesitation in making a return visit.

"We had a great holiday at May Tree Cottage."
It is ideally situated for exploring the area around the Malvern Hills and far beyond. A point that has to be mentioned is that those travelling with their dog will like the cottage because walks start directly on the doorstep.
We would definitely like to come back any time.

"This is a characterful cottage ideally located for local amenities and the hills and, being dog-friendly, was great for our 5 day visit."
The only point to note - The load/unload area outside the property was often taken up with other vehicles during our visit (mainly related to the pub/restaurant next door). There are a few spaces just up the hill if you are lucky to time it right, otherwise a permit is available to park down the road. This was ok for us but may make it unsuitable for older or less mobile visitors.

"Excellent cottage, spotlessly clean."
Comfortable with lots of character. Ideally placed for eating out, walks and within easy reach of the main places to visit. Can't park outside cottage but no major inconvenience to use permit in pub car park near-by. Nice touches - pint of milk in fridge to welcome us, good detailed file about amenities. Major attraction for us - dog friendly; secure gate and ample space, plus easy access to Malvern Hills. Cottage is credit to Alison - it's the first place we have been to where we haven't had to clean anything on arrival. Very comfortable king size bed in main bedroom and 2 bathrooms was very handy, plus washing machine and drying area in scullery. Suggestions for facilities to enhance holiday experience even further = T.V. in master bedroom, radio in kitchen & a mirror in each bedroom. But these were minor. Top notch accommodation and would definitely book again. Thank you.
