• "Fantastic property with picturesque location."

  The host is fantastic and very helpful. We did not have a bbq when we arrived but he made sure we had one the following day. Not much in terms of cooking facilities for a family of 5 without bbq. Hot tub was lovely.

• "Host was very friendly and accommodating."

  We were a family of 6 + our family dog. We had a lovely time. The log burning hot tub was amazing as were the views of the Malvern Hills.

• "We had a fantastic family getaway here."

  The location was superb! The views were beautiful with the lake, swans, geese and ducks to watch. The hot tub was greatly enjoyed and constantly hot if you ensure the wood is topped up. It was the kids highlight of the holiday. The cabin had everything we needed and very comfortable, great shower and modern lighting. We visited Whitley court and gardens, the English Heritage site just across the road for a good walk and play and ate at Bloomfields for breakfast one day which we can highly recommend along with the New Inn and the Holt Fleece for evening meals, both catered for children. We stayed in winter and my only suggestion would be to add a mat on entry and a bath mat in the bathroom by the shower. Just to save the floor. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

• "We had a really enjoyable 4 night stay."

  The pod was clean & comfortable and the views over the lake were beautiful. Be aware if you have a dog, you will need to keep it on a lead outdoors due to livestock, but this wasn’t a problem for us & we just took a crate & throws to keep the indoors clean. Hot tub was wonderful & much enjoyed. It’s a beautiful location, very peaceful, a fantastic getaway & the owner was very helpful when needed (but also left you to your own devices to relax and enjoy). Would love to return! ❤️

• "Loved the stay and the grounds were lovely."

  Just an upgrade needs to be done with the TV. Struggled to get our apps linked with the TV, controller wasn't working properly either. Other than that, it was lovely

• "We booked both lodges with our friend’s family and they were great!"

  Kids loved the hot tubs, owner was friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and quiet. Not far from local amenities, about 15mins from big supermarket.

• "The property owner is completely a rasist!"

  This was the worst holiday experience we had in our lives in the UK. This property owner is completely a racist who treats as per skin colour.We saw his mood change when he saw us for the first time. When we asked how to operate some equipment at the property, he sacastically laughed and replied, "I do not know," and he also shouted, "You should have come with a known one," when we asked how to open the hot tub. He threatened us to remove the vehicles from the property, and if not, he was going to run over them with his trailor. The bedding is not clean at all. You cannot see it in pictures, but we terribly smelt it. When enquired it he lied us those are just came from the laundry.Flies and mosquitoes are everywhere, but there hasn't been a vaporiser or anything.Wifi is a complete lie.There is no Wifi facility. The TV and its remote are not functioning as well. Do not ever book this terrible rude cottage!!!

  Out of more than 200 bookings that we have had in the last two years these people were quite the worst ever. There is a wifi facility, the television was working properly and the bedding was freshly laundered. They removed bollards and parked their cars in an undesignated place and when asked to park them in the proper place refused stating security as the reason. We have found Sykes to be excellent to work with and would not wish to have our name tarnished because of this objectionable family. We welcome people of all nationalities but we all must abide by the rules of the house and treat each other with repect . Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay in July."

  We had a very friendly welcome from owner. Our children loved the outside space and hot tub. We were lucky enough to have good weather so could enjoy the bbq and hot tub most days. The area was quiet, with amazing views to wake up to. We loved the pod, which was spacious enough for two adults and two children. Only slight negative was some of the pans were a bit dirty from previous users but we didn’t really need to use them. We would stay again in a heart beat.

• "The pod was lovely, clean and in a beautiful location."

  All the facilities were fantastic and the host was very helpful. One small problem was the barbecues hadn’t been cleaned from their previous use so there was burnt on food on the racks.

• "Had a well relaxed getaway with my husband."

  Very much needed. Great views from the pod. Good location. Nigel was friendly. The pod was missing a few things ie: equipment for the bbq (tongs) and hot tub tongs for the wood. Would recommend thicker pillows as they were very thin. Overall had a lovely time away.

• "We had a fab stay at Ailsa Craig."

  The hut had everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. The kids loved the lights! We had the hot tub lit for us which was a great start. Enjoyed keeping it going throughout our stay. Great views to wake up to. Lovely peaceful environment. We did have quite a bit of rain which made it a bit boggy next to the hot tub so maybe a path up to it would be helpful. All in all would highly recommend

• "Lovely place to spend our daughter's birthday."

  Pod itself is comfortable and warm and surrounding views beautiful. Nigel was very helpful and informative. The wood fired hotub is easy to use and still has the facilities you would associate with a standard hot tub. The gas BBQ was also really useful on a warm evening while admiring the scenery.

• "Absolutely stunning location, peaceful & with beautiful views."

  The owner was very friendly & helpful when we first arrived & when I lost the keys - sorry! The pod was beautifully clean & well equipped. Also, lovely & warm with the heating on. However, the site was very muddy - not the owners fault that there had been so much rain - but more could be put in place to make the site more accessible. The woodfired hot tub became a chore rather than a pleasure & the supply of kindling, firelighters & matches had run out by Tuesday - we were there Friday to Friday. I would also recommend that future guests take plenty of towels, including hand towels, as none are provided.

• "The place is truly a great escape from a busy life, and Nigel has been very accomodating, he always checks that we are okay and has been enjoying and was very kind enough to provide us with cooking oil as we run out of stock."

  Location: Be mindful, the postcode on the advert will point you to a different direction, however, just follow the writen instruction and you'll find your way. It's the Pennlake Vale Glamping. Overall, it was a perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature. We will definitely come back.

• "We had a lovely stay Nigel was very attentive showed us how everything worked checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was ok Hot Tub is a lovely feature and the dual head shower is very nice."

  The lovely extras of tea coffee and sugar were an extra were weren't expecting so a lovely bonus. The lounge sofa was well sat on so cushions are a little flat but the pull out was comfy. Don't forget your beach towels and extras if you a big group like us who seem to use hundreds, we took a fan with us as we do get warm and it was definitely needed. Lovely grounds and a lovely location to explore or just chill

• "Nice place but no value for money"

  Dear guest, Thank you very much for your response I am sorry that you felt that your stay did not represent good value for money. Might I just say that having accepted a second pet ,which is normally against our policy, as in the past we have found that two dogs in our glamping pods is too much as proved to be the case in this instance as most of the afternoon following your departure was spent collecting dog poo from around the site and the pod itself was left in a very untidy condition.

• "We've just had a lovely stay in Ailsa Craig, 2 adults and 2 teenagers."

  The cabin itself is in a great location, waking up over looking the ponds and hills was glorious. The owner allowed us to walk round some of their grounds so my boys had lots of space to burn of energy. You have everything you need within the cabin, plenty of plates, glasses etc. Didn't use the oven or bbq as we eat out each night or got takeaway. Likes the "techie" features of the bluetooth speaker and lights in the ceiling. The double bed sadly was awful, you could feel the springs through the mattress and we ended up having to by a mattress topper as we were so uncomfortable. Hot tub was lovely, loved that it was woodburing! It did begin to smell after 2 days of use so we didn't use it on our last day at the cabin. Overall we had a really nice day and would return.

  Dear Emma, Thank you very much for your feedback it is much appreciated. New matresses have been delivered and will be replaced tomorrow. I do hope that we might see you again in the future. Best wishes, Nigel Property Owner

• "My family & I had a wonderful weekend here."

  The pod was lovely, clean & comfortable. The views were amazing & facilities were great. The host was very friendly & checked to make sure everything was ok for us. The only suggestion I would make is to maybe consider supplying a fan in the pods during the hot weather. Luckily I remembered to bring my own but if I hadn't, it would have been very hot & stuffy at night. That being said, I didn't ask for one either so maybe you already do supply them but there wasn't any in ours. We can't wait to come back again soon. Thank you!

• "Had a really lovely stay, nice and relaxing!"

  Would recommend taking a mattress topper as they are super soft and springy so not to everyones taste! Also would put some bbq utensils in as the ones provided in the kitchen are silicone so are not suitable for the bbq! Would also like to see a recycling point as no obvious recycling on site at all.. Other than that it was lovely and the owner Nigel was really nice and always happy to help! We were super impressed by the hot tub as well, we thought as it was wood fired it would take ages to heat up enough but it only took about 15 mins before you could get in and stayed warm for hours after we let the fire go out!

  Loved the speakers and LED lights in the ceiling!! Our only suggestions would be for some wine glasses and some form of dish that could be used in the microwave.

• "Fabulous stay!"

  The cabin is secure, warm and luxurious on the inside with a working kitchen / dining room. The views are absolutely beautiful, lots of fields to walk through and animals to look at. The cabin is built beautifully and the decor is lovely. The microwave oven was a nice added bonus as we didn’t feel like eating out all the time so we were able to cook some good meals. Short distance to pubs, restaurants and Worcester centre. The only cons I have is that the hot tub was slightly murky looking upon our arrival which was fine however, we were staying Friday - Monday and by the Sunday morning, the water in the tub smelt pongy and pond-like. Also, the double bed in the living room is very, very springy which pokes into your back throughout the night. We ended up sleeping on top of a duvet and using the spare duvet instead which worked fine. The curtains were also very thin which meant we were woken up by the sun every morning (not a bad thing entirely, beautiful sights) but I would recommend blinds instead of curtains or at least some thicker ones. Other than this, we could not fault our stay and would definitely come back again.

  Dear Chloe Sorry for the problems don’t quite know what was wrong with hot tub but will investigate thoroughly and we have ordered some new mattresses for the beds Kind regards, Nigel Property Owner

• "The pod was great."

  Very warm and easy. We have left 3 large tea mugs as your pretty ones were not big enough! Also for us the mattresses needed to be much harder - I had to sleep on floor one night. Then I found I could use the bed settee -firmer base. The view over the ponds and hills was wonderful - peaceful and secluded. We enjoyed our stay very much.

  Dear Patricia, Thank you very much for coming we have ordered two new mattresses and replaced the mugs. Thank you for the feedback it is very much appreciated. Best wishes, Nigel Property Owner

  Needed to call the owner as the postcode takes you a little bit forward, but with the help of host we managed to reach the exact location.The host was welcoming and available for any help. The mattress of double bed and bunk bed were not in good condition, I think they need to be changed. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

  Thank you for the feedback we have ordered some new mattresses for the pods and hope sincerely that this rectifies the problem Kind regards, Nigel Property Owner
