"We had a fabulous stay at Kitt’s cottage, beautiful cottage with roses around the door."
Thankyou for the milk, eggs and cupcakes - so welcome after a long journey. So handy for the 3 Counties showground, we could walk - only 15 minutes walk across the fields, perfect. We were so sad to leave, a wonderful break. Thankyou
You are most welcome. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Property Owner

"Slightly smaller than expected and the front garden seemed longer in photos but despite that the cottage was both delightful and full of character."
We had a throughly enjoyable 3days despite the rather inclement weather.

"A small but perfectly formed property which served us well to visit several family members in the Midlands."
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Small but perfectly formed, Kitts Cottage was the ideal location for my short visit."
The weather turned colder during my stay but having extra blankets to hand and an easy to use thermostat was very welcome. Now that I know how dog friendly the cottage is and close proximity to the nature reserve and other good walks, I may bring my dogs next time. Thank you!
Thanks for the positive feedback, Wendy. Look forward to welcoming you…and your dogs!….again some time. Property Owner

The owner was really kind and helpful, many thanks for everything.

"The cottage has been furnished to a high standards."
Everything is available for your stay. Used the wood burning fire once which was easy to light and created a great atmosphere. Everything was provided for all needs.
Thank you, Susan. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and found it to have everything you needed. Property Owner

"This is a lovely little cottage; very well equipped indeed but it is tiny."
The bedroom especially is filled with the bed with just a little wriggle room each side and nowhere to put your discarded clothes. The kitchen is a good size and the sofa in the lounge is fine for two. We appreciated the milk in the fridge on arrival and the cakes!! I feel your website could be more specific about the access and parking. It is on a junction of two narrow residential streets and the angled drive is awkward. Resident parking means you have to use the driveway but anything bigger than our Rav 4 just wouldn't fit or cope with the angle of approach. Once parked in the driveway the outside space becomes very limited indeed. We enjoyed our stay in Kitts Cottage and hate to criticise but the whole point of a review is to help any potential future guests make an informed choice. There are very good walks from the door if you like hills but then you wouldn't be in Malvern if you didn't like hills. We walked down to St Wulstans nature reserve which was lovely for the dogs.
Thank you for your feedback. Just to address your comment regarding the size of the bed. The bed is a king size and also a zip and link so it can be converted into two singles if required. A king size is far more comfortable for most guests than a standard double. Admittedly, this gives less room either side, but I feel most guests would appreciate the larger bed. There are hooks on the back of the door for discarded clothes. To address your comments regarding the drive. It is possible to fit larger vehicles on the drive, I park here on changeover days and have a large 4x4. Guests are able to park in the road if they wish, parking is not resident parking only.

"Lovely cottage, clean, well equipped and comfortable, dog friendly as well."
Welcome pack appreciated, Comfortable bed, always a bonus. Off street parking which is a smidge tricky but managed in our large car. Parked on the street in the daytime and off road in the evening mindful of the neighbours. On a quiet lane in Little Malvern, Nature Reserve a short distance away was an absolute bonus for either a quiet walk or exercising the dogs. Garden was great for eating outdoors or watching the comings and goings. Saw ? Kites/ Buzzards flying above our heads. Also Paraglider's enjoying the thermals. Malvern Hill Hotel a mile away was friendly and great food. Eat in or plenty outdoor seating. Also dog friendly.
Thank you so much for such a lovely, thorough review. It was a pleasure to welcome you and I’m so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the local area. Property Owner

"Sweetest little cottage, great position to explore the Malverns."
Very helpful owner. Quiet, well equipped. Good wifi, lovely deep bath, plenty of hot water. Had a lovely week there. Very tiny garden, but dog proof.
-
"The cottage its beautifully presented, well furnished and equipped with everything needed."
Spotlessly clean and a very comfortable bed. The welcome tray was very much appreciated after a long journey.
Thank you, Mary. Property Owner

"A lovely little cottage for two."
Contact with owner brilliant. Managed to park on the drive in our medium sized car. Good information in the cottage but be aware that phone signal is poor. Thank you for a lovely time.
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Susan. Just to address the phone signal issue. If you set your mobile phone to enable wi-fi calling, you will have full signal at all times at the cottage. Property Owner

"Rachele the owner was magnificent."
She went above and beyond to help us in our first day when our car broke down. The cottage was beautiful inside and out. Small but perfectly arranged with all the amenities you need. Being dog friendly as well made all the difference. A lovely cottage to walk from the door up the Malvern hills and even into Malvern itself. A thoroughly lovely week made even better by the lovely Rachele.
Thank you both so much for the fantastic feedback. It was my pleasure to help with your car breaking down. Lovely to hear you enjoyed the cottage and all the local area has to offer. Thank you also for my thank you gift! Very kind. Property Owner
-
"This is a lovely little cottage, has all the necessary amenities even though it is smaller it does not distract from the services."
The owner, Rachel is very helpful, leaves message for you and also treat of Chocolate cake and some welcome milk in fridge. The surprise was 2 lovely big bowls for Molly and a jar of crunchy biscuits, she was happy. So book for a couple and dog, there are good walks nearby.
Thank you, Joanna. Property Owner

"Bed just slightly strange on one side, felt like I was sliding down one side a little."
Hi Norma, Sorry to hear you had a slight problem with the bed. I haven’t had any similar comments before. I would have been happy to come up and take a look during your stay. Property Owner
-
"We were happily surprised at how well appointed this lovely little cottage was and the history surrounding it made it even more special."
A little gem and obviously well loved by the owner. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again if it is available next time we are visiting the area.
Thank you, Caroline. I look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Property Owner

"Excellent property, cant fault."
Will return
Thank you, Caroline. Your feedback is very much appreciated. Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage with good walks from the door."
Well equipped and we found using the driveway to be no problem at all. Great to have a boot/bike room too. Beautiful area which is so dog friendly everywhere. Thank you!
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Mandy! Very pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the area. Property Owner
-
"A lovely decorated cottage everything you need is there thank you for the ..."
A lovely decorated cottage everything you need is there thank you for the welcome goodies the only downside is the parking perhaps it would help to widen the driveway as the spaces on the road were taken we did manage to get in the drive a smaller car would have had no problem but a lovely stay none the less
Thanks for your feedback, Linda. I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay. It has not been possible to widen the driveway, but a new single gate was fitted recently to open up and greatly improve access. It is very rare now that there is ever a problem with parking on the driveway. Thanks again. Property Owner
-
"Kitts Cottage is small but comfy and well equipped, very clean."
Great location for exploring the Malvern Hills.
Thank you, Sheena. Property Owner
-
"Gorgeous little perfectly formed cottage."
Everything you need is there. Really enjoyed the wood burner. Made the whole cottage comfy and cosy. Our aim was to have a quiet break away from home. We got that and more. Owner has certainly made it a home from home.Would definitely recommend it to others.
Thank you, Linda. Glad you found the peace and quiet you were hoping for. Property Owner
-
"The cottage is really lovely; small but perfect for 2 people for a hilly getaway."
The owner, Rachele, was super helpful and accommodating. She even left a little basket of goodies there for us on arrival. I would definitely recommend Kitts Cottage, but be aware, it’s quite remote so you will need a car!
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Dani. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"It was beautifully presented and so well equipped with everything we needed."
Such a lovely location and in an ideal place for visiting the Malverns; the furthest we ever travelled somewhere was only 20 minutes away! The hamper was a lovely touch and we felt relaxed as soon as we walked through the (cute stable) door.
Thank you, Sarah! Very pleased you enjoyed yourselves. Property Owner
-
"An ideal base for our holiday with everything you could need."
Comfortable, clean and really quiet, with a really comfy bed and off road parking. The goodies left for us were a lovely thought and much appreciated. The owner was friendly and approachable. A footpath through the woods within 100yds was a boon to walk the dogs in the morning. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, Sandra! Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Kitts Cottage."
..very clean and comfortable and a good location to be able to walk in the Hills, which managed to wear out the spaniels!

"Kitts Cottage is a lovely place - a home from home."
Little, cosy and romantic, the beautiful kitchen provided with everything you need. The owner is very kind, helpful and easy-going. One highlight was the welcome-pack, even for our dog. She felt at home immediately - as we did. We would recommend Kitts Cottage anytime. It's unforgettable.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, Antje. It was a pleasure having you both to stay, not forgetting your dog! Property Owner
-
"We couldn’t of asked for more with this property."
It was exactly the idyllic, peaceful and homely experience we were after. The cottage is compact but was just right for me, my partner and our 2 dogs. Everything we could of possibly needed was provided and the welcome hamper, dog treats and filled water bowl was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend, and if ever we was to choose to visit this area again, Kitts cottage would be our first choice of accommodation. Amy & James
Amy & James, thanks for making my day with your feedback! A lovely read. Hope to welcome your back some point. Property Owner

Great location for exploring the Malvern Hills and surrounding area. Fantastic welcome basket, best we’ve ever had, and treats for the boys as well.

"Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kitts Cottage, it maybe small but what a gem."
The property is clean, modern and well maintained, the kitchen is very well equipped and the extras provided by the owner for ourselves and the dogs was much appreciated. We have recommended this cottage to friends.

"Kitt’s Cottage was everything we could have wished for."
Fabulous welcome basket, personal note from the owner and excellent communication when I needed help. Such a haven! Thankyou!
Thank you, Trudi! What lovely comments. Property Owner
-
"A beautiful little property with absolutely everything you need provided."
It is very comfortable, with a small but peaceful garden, exceptionally clean and thoughtfully presented with many personal touches. Parking is manageable with a little care in a quiet area. It is an excellent base for exploring the area with interesting places both nearby ( including a nature reserve within walking distance ,and towns such as Ledbury, Upton on Severn) and further away such as the Cotswolds and the Welsh borders - Hergest Croft gardens are a must if you like tranquility ! We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday and will come back again. Richard and Helen.
Thank you, Richard & Helen, for such a lovely and very thorough review. It sounds like you had a lovely break. Hope to welcome you back at some point. Property Owner

"Lovely place - a beautiful retreat - in an idyllic location - we went with the intention of visiting Malvern - but on finding it busier than I remembered from past visits ended up spending more time in Upton - on- Severn Bromyard Tewkesbury and Ledbury."
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Andrew. Good to hear you enjoyed your visit and seeing some new places. Property Owner
-
"We found the cottage as described."
Lovely fixtures and fittings. Parking tricky but as described and we can drive !!!!! Lovely basket of food, nice to have milk, last cottage we stayed in had none and we had to drive 9 miles to get some. We are lucky that we are both no more than 10.5 stone, I think large guests would struggle as only about a foot around the bed. Sweet garden too.
Thanks for your feedback, Katherine. I’m pleased to hear that you found the cottage to be as described. To address your issue with the space in the bedroom - I wanted to maximise the size of the bed for the room so had a king size made at a slightly shorter length, rather than just installing a standard double. It is also a zip and link bed so I can offer the option of splitting into two single beds. Obviously, this gives slightly less space at the sides of the bed but hopefully the extra bed size makes up for this. Property Owner
-
"Lovely little cottage in a great location, really thoughtfully decorated and kitted out to maximise the space and offer everything you need."
It was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and the blinds kept out the early morning light. The kitchen is really well equipped but if you don’t fancy cooking, there are lots of places to eat within a short drive and also that will deliver. Such a lovely area, we were there with our dog and spent our days out walking, absolutely spoilt for choice with places to walk, lots of hills but plenty flatter areas too including a really nice nature reserve which is walkable from the cottage. It’s a very dog friendly area, definitely worth a visit and we’d highly recommend Kitts Cottage.
Thank you, Lesley, for such thorough and positive feedback. It was lovely to read your comments. Property Owner
-
"Beautiful little cottage, enjoyed reading about the history of it."
It was spotless and everything you needed was catered for. ( even dog bowls ) A very thoughtful welcome pack was a lovely touch, and dog treats . The only little niggle was how low lounge seating was , but thats us being in the oldies bracket, couple of armchairs would suit better. The " to die for bath " helped ease the old back. Beautiful area, lots to do, see and stunning walks.
Thanks for your comments, Andrew. I’m pleased you found the cottage to be spotless and well equipped. I’ll take on board your comments about the seating in the lounge. The current ‘L’ shaped sofa does give guests the opportunity to sit or lie down, and this was the thought behind this choice. Property Owner
-
"The cottage was a really nice place to stay, very comfortable and the area was really quiet."
. Everything we might have needed for our stay was provided.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, much appreciated. Very pleased you were happy and comfortable at the cottage. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage set with in walking distance for the Malvern hills."
. Excellently maintained Contained everything needed and more Welcome basket the best we’ve ever had.. Our host was easy to contact if needed which is always reassuring.. We are about to convert an outbuilding ourselves my goal now is to make it as beautiful as kitts cottage..
Thank you so much, Janie! Good luck with your project, it sounds brilliant! Property Owner

"This was a lovely, bright and clean cottage."

Thank you, Jane. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay, the cottage had everything to make it comfortable for us and the dogs."
The welcome pack was a nice touch. It was in a perfect location to explore Malvern and the surroundings. The only slight downside was the parking, which we knew about before hand, we couldn’t get on the drive and had to park on the road when we could find a space.
Thanks for the feedback, Roger. Glad you enjoyed your break. Property Owner
-
"Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location."
It had everything we needed for our four day break. The welcome basket was very well received, everything in it was perfect for us. Secure garden for the dogs and dog bowls and treats provided. A fresh bowl of water was already down waiting for the dogs when we arrived, great after a long drive. Lovely deep bath, great for relaxing after a long day walking. Rachele is very on hand with any questions you may have. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a peaceful get away.
Thank you, Sharon. Such lovely comments. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Extremely well equipped kitchen."
Lovely hobbit wood burner for chilly nights. The welcome pack was very nice. Host was very easily contacted and personable. It would be our first choice if we came to Malvern again.
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Eunice. Hope to welcome you back at some point. Property Owner
-
"Lovely, quirky, quiet and clean property."
It was smaller than we thought it would be but it had everything we needed. Location was really good. We enjoyed being able to walk to the local pub, The Railway, which was 1.5 miles away and served good beer and decent food. The welcome pack was lovely and consisted of bread, butter, crisps, biscuits, milk, cake and Tunnocks tea cakes (a blast from the past but delicious). There were treats for the dog as well. Overall, a great property and beautiful setting with lots of walks nearby and views across the county.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Jacob. It sounds like you had a great holiday. Very pleased to hear you were happy with the cottage and it had everything you needed. Property Owner

"Had a marvelous few days at this gorgeous little cottage with everything you could possibly want for a perfect break."
Situated at the foot of the Malvern Hills there was no reason to move the car once parked on the driveway and the welcome basket provided by Rachele was lovely including the doggie treats . Will definitely return
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. Property Owner

"We loved our holiday at Kitts Cottage."
What a lovely place, with all you need for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack was a fabulous addition and the fireplace was so cosy. The house is in great condition and decorated to a very high standard. The kitchen has everything you need including a washing machine and dishwasher and Rachele was the ultimate host. Would certainly want to return again with so much on the doorstep to do and will recommend to our friends. Thanks for making the start to 2022 a great one.
Thanks for your lovely feedback, Juliet. Happy 2022! So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We came away to Kitts Cottage across the New Year period on our late honeymoon and couldn't have been happier with our choice."
The location is just stunning and the love and attention to detail that the owner has put into the property is exceptional. This period cottage has all the modern facilities you would expect and the wood burner adds to the already cosy and relaxing ambience. We would have no hesitation returning at some point in the near future.
Thank you for the great feedback, Ruth. So happy you enjoyed your late honeymoon and you were happy with the cottage and it’s surroundings. Look forward to maybe welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
-
"Beautiful cottage situated in the Malvern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty."
Upon arrival at the cottage we were greeted with a fully decorated and lit Christmas tree which immediately set the tone for a wonderful Christmas break. Our host(ess) provided a welcome pack, the like of which we have never previously seen, it was unexpected and incredibly generous. The cottage is beautifully decorated and maintained. It is kitted out with just about every convenience you might require during your stay. All in all, a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting which we can highly recommend. We will definitely be visiting again.
Wow!!…thank you both so much. It was a pleasure to welcome you to stay for Christmas, and I’m so pleased the cottage met all expectations. I look forward to welcoming you again some time. Property Owner

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Stuart. Property Owner

"Beautiful and very cute property in the perfect location to local shops, pubs, restaurants and the ‘Three Counties Showground’."
People mentioned about the drive being difficult to get on to but we reversed in and had no difficulty. The owner made us feel very welcome with her message before we got there and with a lovely welcome basket, very kind and thoughtful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked the property for my parents to have a holiday.

"The cottage is small but perfectly formed."
Ráchele provided many thoughtful touches and a generous welcome pack, including gluten free treats ( I am coeliac) and dog bowls plus biscuits for our Border terrier. The new gate has solved previously mentioned problems of parking in the drive too. Lovely walks nearby .
Thanks Maureen! Glad you and your dog enjoyed your stay…and your treats! Property Owner
-
"Kitts cottage is a beautiful little cottage but has everything you need home from home,Rachel the owner is on standby for anything you may need or want to know and even leaves a starter hamper, I would definitely recommend this property and the walking is amazing and straight from the front door, although near a road we never heard any traffic was so peaceful and a lovely place to relax, I’m sure we will return."
-
"The cottage is very well equiped and comfortable in a nice quiet location, ideal for walking in the Malvern Hills."
There are plenty of good quality pubs, cafes and restaurants in the area and the towns of Ledbury, Upton on Severn, Tewksbury and Worcester are within easy reach. The owners welcome pack and note was a lovely touch.
-
"A delightfully appointed property of a style seen in show houses - modest grasp of everyday living needs."
Sykes, after (15 years with you) shame on you for your flowery marketing. We lasted 3 days out of seven. Unrealistic to expect any intervention/resolution by approachable owner during stay.
Thanks for the review, Keith. If I had been contacted during your stay I would have done all I could to rectify any issues you may have had. I’m sorry the cottage didn’t meet your needs, but the photographs and listing do give a realistic overview of the property. Property Owner
-
"The cottage was really lovely and had everything we needed for a delightful short stay in The Malverns."

"This cottage most certainly has the romantic wow factor."
It's decorated with such style and just beautiful. The owner leaves a thoughtful hamper on arrival and such detailed info on the area and cottage. Would 100% return...
Thank you both very much. It was lovely to meet you and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
-
"Kiits cottage is a real gem in the Cotswolds."
The owner is on hand with help and advice if needed and she has made it a really comfortable holiday destination. It is set in a picturesque area, with Malvern Hills right on the doorstep. Out two little dogs were made as welcome as we were, with doggy treats and bowls left for our use. There was a lovely welcome basket which was greatly appreciated after our long journey. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kitts cottage and if we are ever in that part of the world again we will definitely stay again.
-
"Loads of crockery etc - too much for two people."
There is one cupboard in the kitchen which has kitchen items and we missed not having somewhere to store non-perishables as this would have been ideal. That said, it was an inconvenience and no more. The actual cottage is spotless, well-maintained and Rachel had let us know we could contact her if we had any issues. We had no need to contact her - a really nice break.
Thank you for your feedback. Very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. I’ve taken note, and have now cleared one of the cupboards for food storage. Property Owner

Beautiful cottage we truly enjoyed our stay very clean high speck all mod cons provided - exceeded our expectations and welcome pack was lovely
-
"We had a lovely week in Kitts Cottage."
It is small, but intelligently set up: we were very comfortable. The kitchen is particularly well equipped - we enjoyed cooking every night. The location is excellent - cross one main road, and you are on a path that leads straight to up (half way along) the main Malvern ridge, all of which we explored from our door. We shall certainly be back.
Thanks so much for the lovely review. Very pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the area. Look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"Kitts Cottage is small but beautifully put together."
Quality fittings, furniture and utensils. Quiet location.
Thank you, Angela. Property Owner

"Kitts Cottage is small but perfectly formed!"
I loved the care and attention to detail throughout. The woodburner was lovely and everything was of good quality. Comfortable bed too. On top of all that, the Malvern Hills are just a couple of minutes' walk away, as are other footpaths for walking the dog.
Thanks, Maria. Lovely that you and your dog enjoyed your stay over Christmas. Property Owner

"We had the most wonderful time at Kitts Cottage, the most perfect getaway in the Malvern Hills."
Accommodation 10/10! Throughly recommended!
-
"Lovely Property really well appointed & Beautifully presented."
Ideally situated for walking the Malvern Hills literally from the Front door. Just what we wanted. A great hamper left for us & the owner left us a lovely welcome note. Super few days away in a difficult time.
-
"What a fantastic cottage."
So well located near the Malvern Hills you can even access them from the cottage without having to get in the car. The owner was very efficient with all the details that we needed and left a wonderful starter basket of food including a cake. The information booklet gave us local restaurants and bars. The owners were also very dog friendly and left ours a bag of treats. One of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed in and would highly recommend.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Kitts Cottage."
Whilst the accommodation is compact the cottage is very well equiped and comfortable. The setting is great for walkers, being perched half way up the Malvern Hills, plus there are many other walks locally. There are plenty of good quality pubs, cafes and restaurants in the area and the towns of Ledbury, Upton on Severn and Worcester are within easy reach. The owners welcome pack was much appreciated. We loved our stay and would definitely consider returning.
-
"Lovely little cottage very clean and very welcoming, there was cake biscuits milk and butter, even dog biscuits, very thoughtful."
-
"The little things like the welcome pack and clean accommodation."
-
"Absolutely perfect in every way."
Immaculate tiny cottage which is beautiful and super clean. Bed lovely and comfy. The owner is so lovely and leaves a thoughtful hamper which is a wonderful touch. The cottage is small but wonderfully decorated and very cosy and romantic. We absolutely loved our stay here and would 100%, recommend and return.
-
"Stunning area and location."
Kitts Cottage was home from home. Although we didn't get to meet Rachele she thought of the little things that made it like a home. Like leaving a basket full of goodies and milk in the fridge and the radio on! Happy!☺
-
"Kitts Cottage is ideally located for access to the Malvern Hills and walks."
Also easy access to local towns and attractions. The cottage is so warm and cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, decorated to a very high standard. I don't think we have ever stayed anywhere where the bed was as comfortable or the kitchen so well equipped. The welcome basket for us and treats for the dogs was very well received. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
-
"The communication before arrival was superb, all requests were dealt with by Rachele very quickly and nothing was to much trouble."
The cottage was just what we were looking for and everything we needed was there, the welcome basket was a nice surprise. Storm Denis kept us from venturing out too far but it really didn’t matter as the log burner and the cosy nature of Kitts Cottage made staying put a real treat.
-
"Perfect location for walking in the Malvern hills."
-
"I chose this cottage as it looked cosy and in a quiet location."
It met both expectations perfectly.
-
"This quaint cottage is small in size but packs a big punch!"
Perfect for exploring the Malvern hills and surrounding country side it has everything you need. The owners have thoughtfully combined contemporary with classic in this traditional building with all the comforts you will need.. thank you Rachele we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
-
"Lovely cottage great location all went well nice welcome pack"

"Kitts Cottage was a great find."
Tastefully modernised and decorated; extremely well equipped and very clean. The welcome basket was a very nice touch and treats left for our two dogs also. The location is great for gaining immediate access up onto the Malvern Hills and plenty of walks for the dogs too. The enclosed garden meant we could let the dogs relax in the garden without any worries of them getting out. Equally the little patio area with the table and chairs meant we had most of our meals ‘al-fresco’. Rachele was extremely helpful and very pro-active – even messaging us on the day of our arrival to let us know we could gain access early. We would thoroughly recommend Kitts Cottage and we will be going back again in the near future.

"Kitts Cottage certainly exceeded our expectations from the initial booking, joining instructions and during our stay."
The owner provided a welcome basket plus some goodies for our dog too
-
"The cottage was absolutely lovely ."
Cosy quirky and an ideal setting for taking our dog. We could relax in the garden and walk from the house for our daily adventures. The host was very helpful and on hand if needed. Would highly recommend kitts cottage. Hopefully we will visit again.

"Kitts Cottage was just perfect for us."
Great communication before, during and after our stay & some lovely little touches left for our arrival including dog treats. Modern, clean & tasteful, it was great and we’ll be back. Thank you.

"Kitts cottage is a small but beautiful cottage in a great location for walking straight into the Malvern Hills."
Rachele had left us a lovely welcome basket which included a present for the dogs. In the cottage there’s loads of useful information on things to do and places to eat, which was really helpful. I can’t wait to come back in the winter so we can try out the log burner! This really is a gem of a place and well worth a stay

"Kits cottage certainly does not have off road parking."
The camber of the drive from directly off the road is very high. We did attempt to park the car off road! If we had carried through with the parking we would have had multiple paint and bodywork to be done. The drive needs to be lowered in line more with the road. Also you cannot open the left hand gate (from the road) far enough as it hits the road. We had to park in the narrow road directly outside the property only just being able to exit the car. If I had known there was not any off road parking I would not have booked Kitts Cottage. We had a neighbour visit us on our first tea time there and asked us to move our car further towards the T-junction as there is also a salt bin on the opposite side of the road and it makes it very difficult for the local residents to get passed. Apparently she has to this every Friday when new occupants arrive. She did say it was annoying. We felt perhaps not wanted, and to be perfectly honest I cannot blame them. Also there is not really anywhere you can eat a supper...not wanting to sit at a very small breakfast bar. I know there is a very small table and 2 chairs in the boot room. We were lucky we ate outside, although I must say on very uncomfortable chairs. There was also 4 chipped plates in the kitchen...not nice. The dishwasher could do with a good clean on the sides. The TV aerial was not working on our first night, although the owners did come out on Saturday afternoon. There will be further problems with the aerial has has only wiggled it around somewhat! I realised when booking the cottage it was small but it is very small. To sum up, I would never book anywhere without off road parking, it’s important to us to know our car is safe. Also I felt uncomfortable knowing what the neighbours think of all the different people in and out of the area. I don’t think this cottage is up to your normal high quality of service. I hope you will send a representative to the cottage to look at the high camber of the drive. Malvern is a very beautiful town, we loved it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments following your stay at Kitts Cottage. I'm sorry to hear that you were unable to take advantage of the off road parking. The space available can be difficult to access due to the steepness and width of the road. However, guests are welcome to park on the road in front if they don't feel confident to park there. It is worth noting that there is no dining table in the property but there is a breakfast bar in the kitchen, in addition to which the owner does supply a small table (kept in the boot room) that guests are welcome to bring into the living area. I'm pleased to hear that the owner was able to swiftly resolve the problem with the TV aerial. Kind Regards, The Customer Relations Team Property Owner

"We spent a week at Kitts Cottage which was located in a lovely position in Malvern."
The cottage was fully equiped , very clean and a pleasure to return to after a full day out exploring the surrounding area. The owner left a very nice Welcome Pack for us , and one for the dog also , which we found a great help after a long car journey from our home in Northumberland. All in all a little gem of a cottage which we would be happy to recommend to friends and family. I would also add that the whole experience of booking our holiday with Sykes was made very easy with great communication from both Sykes and the owner of Kitts Cottage.

"Getting on and off the driveway is not easy."
The ramped access is too steep.
-
"Kitts Cottage is a really cosy comfy cottage, spotlessly clean with everything needed to hand."
The small garden was ideal for sitting outside in the sun and our Jack Russell, Rosie, loved it. Rachele left us a lovely basket of goodies which was really appreciated. She even contacted us to say we could arrive as early as we wanted as the previous couple left on the Thursday. Can thoroughly recommend visiting Tewksbury and the National Trust property Croomb Park. The only thing we had a problem is with the parking at the cottage. We couldn’t park on the drive as one of the gates only opened half way so we had to park on the road which, as the cottage is on a steepish hill and being right next to a T junction, meant we had to park right next to the wall which was Three feet from the T junction

"Kitts Cottage is a beautiful property that has been lovingly restored by the owner."
The design and decor is exactly what we would have chosen and we considered asking if we could buy the cottage so we'd never have to leave. The bed was incredibly comfortable so you can't help but have a good night's sleep. The kitchen makes the best use of space and is well equipped, the bathroom is stunning with a lovely deep bath, and the living room has everything you need for relaxing in the evening. The log burner makes it cosy and warm. There were fresh flowers in the living room, a lovely welcome basket for us and some treats for the dog. The garden is enclosed (perfect for the dog) and you can eat out there when it's sunny. Perfect. This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and we'll definitely be returning for another break later in the year. 10/10.

"A revisit to this wonderful cottage for us as my wife used to live in it."
It’s a very special place and has been beautifully and sympathetically refurbished. It’s the perfect base to climb up to the MalvernHills and a short walk to the Malvern Hills hotel which is good for a meal and a drink. A perfect place to stay for a couple and a pet dog. The welcome pack was also thoughtful and very generous.
-
"Great cottage, was very comfortable and was extremely clean with great facilities."
The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. Was ideally situated with lots of places to visit nearby but also walks on your doorstep. Had a lovely holiday, very relaxing but also enjoyed the walks and visits.
-
"So peaceful, lovely little garden to sit in that kept the sun all day."
Cottage had everything you could possibly need
-
"Beautiful cottage in an ideal spot to explore the Malvern Hills."
We were looked after by the owner Rachele even before we arrived through email, making sure our needs were met with little extra touches. During our stay, I had peace of mind that if there was a problem, Rachele was on hand to sort it. Thankfully everything was perfect for us. We look forward to returning to Kitts Cottage soon.

"Fantastic location for walking the Malvern hills especially if you have dogs, they thoroughly enjoyed it."
-
"Amazing cottage home from home lovely touches through out lovely part of the country"
-
"The care to attention demonstrated by the owner was wonderful- small things like a welcome basket and small instructions carefully placed."
She also gave her number should we need anything which was very considerate. I would most definitely go back and would recommend the location. The only comment, which is not really anything to do with the house or owner, is that it had neighbours and a school close by. A more isolated location would have been nice. But this is a personal preference and not something that reflects on the care to attention given. I had the dog with me, he loved it. There isn’t a back garden though and so he had to be supervised whenever he was out front to stretch his legs. The garden was not very big and so probably not ideal for a larger dog as we have, but regardless, for a couple or one person as I was, it was nice. I did have the plumber pop round to read the boiler, I didn’t expect this or particularly appreciate it during a holiday- I would suggest this is done when guests are not in resident next time. All in all 5* for care to attention and consideration from the owner. 4* for the position and amenities of the cottage itself. Thank you Rachele for a lovely stay :)

"Lovely cottage in an ideal positon to walk the Malvern Hills, great welcome pack for both us and our dogs."
Very clean and comfortable, a lot of thought has gone into the fixtures and furnishings. Two very tired dogs and humans at the end of the week!
-
"The cottage was so well equipped with welcome basket of food and treats for the dogs."
It was very clean and comfortable, the bath was lovely after a day walking and the bed was extremely comfortable. The cottage made our break very enjoyable. Thanks ever so much
-
"Lovely cottage decorated beautifully."
Treats left upon arrival for ourselves and our rabbit (much appreciated!) Good location for surrounding amenities and lots to do around, 5*. Thankyou :)
-
"Kitts Cottage was very comfortable and stylishly decorated with high quality furniture and equipment."
It was very well equipped - better than any other cottage we've stayed in. The welcome basket left for our arrival was a nice touch. We noticed that most other guests had brought their dog with them from the visitor book. Unfortunately we think that people must have allowed their dogs on the settee and cushions as there was a bit of a doggy smell- not the cottage owner's fault but irresponsible pet owners. However, this was the only minus and overall we had a great holiday experience.
-
"The cottage was absolutely perfect."
The attention to detail was amazing, the welcome basket filled with goodies, well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. Brilliant location close to lots of cotswold villages. Will definitely book again! Thank you!
-
"Everything was very good,even the very hot weather."
My wife and I really enjoyed it.
-
"I have suggested to the owner that having some fans and comfortable outdoor furniture would improve the facilities."
-
"The cottage exceeded our expectations however we struggled to park near to the property due to lack of space and had to park two streets away."
Not ideal
-
"Beautifully and very tastefully appointed cottage equipped with everything needed for a good holiday."
Lovely welcome pack on arrival was a thoughtful touch and included goodies for the dog! Fresh flowers too. Excellent location in a wonderful part of the country. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

"Lovely cottage and area."
A little more information about how tight the parking would be but apart from this the whole experience was very good.
-

"This was a gem of a cottage offering much more than others we have used."

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.
