  • "The property was clean, comfortable and well equipped."

    There was no problem parking on the road in front of the property and we enjoyed our stay. Our only slight negative was access to the upper garden levels was a bit overgrown and the wooden stairs and handrails didn't seem too sturdy which was a shame as the views from there are amazing.

    Thank you Gwen for your feedback. We will be doing something about the garden this weekend when we plan to visit ourselves. We’ll also have to address the stairs too to make more secure. Property Owner

  • "A lovely little cottage with fantastic views and everything to make it a home from home except for the bedrooms."

    As we all have age related slight mobility issues we found the mattresses and pillows a little 'bouncy' and lacking in support and having to get out of bed to switch the light on and off during the night was concerning but could see that there was no space for a bedside table in the blue room. Perhaps a wall light with a pull switch above the headboard would solve this problem?

    Thank you for your feedback Malcolm. We note your comments about the bedside tables or lack of. We are due to have a unit installed behind the bed to allow for lights and drinks too but the carpenter was delayed. We hope it wasn’t too inconvenient and didn’t mar your holiday too much. We also installed night lights in the sockets, hoping they helped in the middle of night. Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely little cottage, perfect for exploring Malvern and the surrounding areas."

    Incredible views from the property and walking trails within minutes from the front door. Very nicely decorated and maintained and well stocked with kitchen equipment. Worth knowing that the garden terrace isn't easily accessible if you have a fear of heights or any mobility issues and would not be suitable for letting a dog roam around in. We really enjoyed our stay and if we return to Malvern, we would happily book here again.

    Thank you Victoria for your feedback. We have since updated our description to be clearer about dog access in the garden. We’re also going to work on the garden this weekend ourselves to help make more accessible. You are very welcome to come again. Property Owner

  • "Holly Cottage delivered on everything I was looking for."

    Debbie kept me informed when there was a reported water leak which, luckily was quickly fixed. She was also very quick at fixing a problem. I would have no problems at recommending this property to anyone looking for a stay in the Malverns.

    Hello Gail Thank you for your feedback. It was a shame about the water leak in the road. I hope it didn’t mar your holiday too much. We hope to see you again one day.. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is beautiful,has everything you could need."

    It's clean, homely and beautifully decorated. The views are out of this world and parking extremely easy right outside the property. It's a good 1.5mile walk into town which has everything you need. Would highly recommend. Thank you

    Thank you Sarah for your kind feedback. We love it for all those reasons and I certainly get fitter there walking up to the hills every morning. One day we’ll retire there! Ps. Speaking to neighbour today about the dog! Property Owner

GREAT MALVERN

Ledbury 7 miles; Worcester 10 miles; Hereford 23 miles.

Great Malvern is an excellent centre for both long and short holidays. Its unique history, dramatic countryside and close proximity to numerous places of interest offer plenty for all visitors to discover. 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 spectacular views in all directions.

Other outdoor activities available include high ropes, climbing and abseiling and fishing and river cruises are available nearby. A number of National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards are within easy reach. Great Malvern has many individual shops, cafes, art galleries and restaurants and a luxurious spa. Great Malvern dates back to the Bronze Age and is situated on the eastern side of the dramatic Malvern Hills.

The town holds antique and craft fairs, farmers’ markets and many auctions throughout the year, as well as the Great Malvern Food Festival in June. Malvern Theatres has an extensive programme throughout the year including productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company, musicals, and dance, to world-renowned musicians and orchestras; the associated cinema screens new releases.

In June Ledbury hosts an annual Poetry Festival. For the motor enthusiast the Morgan Motor Company is within walking distance of the cottage and, on the hills, Eastnor Castle’s summer events programme includes the Land Rover Experience. It is just a short drive to 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). Worcester, one of the Three Choirs Festival cities, is within easy driving distance as are Tewkesbury, Hereford and the Wye valley.

Easy access to the M5 and M50 motorways brings other places within reach such as Gloucester with its historic dockyard, Monmouth and the Forest of Dean, and Cheltenham and its festivals. Convenient rail and bus links enable days out without a car. A great holiday destination at any time of year.
