Rose Cottage

Excellent cottage, well equipped and good location for marina and town.

Great location Character property with original features Some maintenance to fixtures and fittings would improve guest experience

Perfect for the RHS Malvern Show and the Three Counties Showground generally.

Shower needs updating and settees have seen better days .

Although acknowledging the cottage is very old, we made allowances for this, but there were negative aspects which had nothing to do with age.

The bedroom had a dirty paint flaking window which had someone's cotton buds on the sill. The built in cupboard meant for storing clothes was too horrible to use. The shower in the bathroom was very small and relied on a shower curtain. It was so unappealing that we avoided using it until we really had no alternative. The fridge constantly froze our food , so we had o throw away things we stored in it as they were frost damaged beyond use. The oven was so horribly dirty we avoided using it at all. Thick black cobwebs surrounded both fires and seeral lightfittings. Externally the windows were filthy and internally didn't seem to have been cleaned for ages.

Rose Cottage is an extremely well equipped and comfortable cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. It is in a lovely area with plenty of interesting things to do close by. We felt fortunate to have found such a lovely place to stay and would love to return one day.

A lovely cottage and worked well for our family of 6 (2 adults + 4 children age 8-14).

A few games were also provided. The village setting is nice and there is a good outdoor space which was ideal for the hot period we stayed there. The owners were very helpful too. We'll happily stay there again if we return to the area.

Really enjoyed our stay in the cottage.

Lovely spacious bedrooms and beds super comfy. Great location. Host was easy to speak to and cottage was gorgeous. Would definitely stay again.

we enjoyed our stay at Rose cottage & upton on severn

Had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage as a family of four.

Its very well positioned for accessing the Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds by car with the bonus of being a short walk to the picturesque town centre of Upton upon Severn with its interesting selection of shops, restaurants and bars. The property itself has real charm and provided all the facilities we needed for our stay. We would look to stay here again if we re-visit the area.

The cottage could do with a deep clean.

The outer entrance was dirty covered in dust and dead flies. Cobwebs in every room, the bedrooms were particularly bad. The oven was dirty and tiles in the kitchen were unclean. We had to wash pans which were dirty and some mouldy. Also some glasses and crockery required a clean. I rang the owner Joyce and sent her pictures. She apologised said she would ask the cleaners to come back the following morning. But unfortunately it wasn’t sorted out. I called Joyce and she apologised and I advised her the property needed a deep clean.

Lovely cottage, in a great location.

Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely historic cottage within strolling distance of Upton upon Severn and all its amenities.

Despite the cottage being old it is warm and the gas stove made it cosy. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the travel cot, high chair and stair gates fitted for our toddler. Thank you.

This cottage is ideally suited near to Upton on Severn, easy short walk into town.

The cottage is advertised as three double rooms ie maximum for six people, however we felt the cottage was more suited to a couple or a family of four. This is due to the bathroom facilities which are old and desperately need modernisation. The cottage is well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery. There is adequate cooking utensils. The cottage would be improved by having a washing machine which incorporated a drier, this would free up the tumble dryer to instal a dish washer - who wants to wash up on holiday! The downstairs is comfortable and cosy but very dark, better lighting or more lamps would be great - difficult to read at night! The fact that there were no instructions on how to use any of the equipment ie microwave, hot water, where the bins were, and what to do with linen etc on leaving the property was very remiss and needs rectifying asap. There was no information on nearest A&E, doctors dentists etc also remiss. A visitors book where guests can write recommendations on pubs, restaurants and places to visit is always helpful and welcome when visiting somewhere new. The cottage could do with improvements in a few areas to greatly enhance a stay. We did have a problem during our stay concerning the bathroom which was addressed quickly.

just had a lovely week at Rose Cottage.

Mrs C the owner was so helpful and kind. Cottage is well equipped and extremely clean and very comfortable. Beds so comfy - plenty of hot water. Thank You Mrs C Few nice shops near by and Marina up the road was also excellent - good food and very reasonable with the prices.

Lovely little cottage, clean and well equipped.

The fire in the living room kicks out great heat!! Great location, can wander into town where there are plenty of eating places, or over the other side of the Marina where you can get a great breakfast! Owner responds to messages quickly and is very accommodating.

Lovely little cottage.

Easy walk into town. Well equipped. We were lucky with the weather so the barbecue, water cooler, and electric fans in the bedrooms were especially useful. Also lovely to have tea and coffee and jams in the house on arrival. Owner very kindly let us stay later on the day of check out as she didn't have anyone arriving that day which was brilliant. Lots of eating places nearby along with a coop and spa so easy to get groceries etc. Parked the car on arrival and didn't move it until we left 5 days later. Marina next door where you can hire a boat for a day or half a day. Lots of gentle walking from the door.

Very many thanks Joyce and Derek for providing such a beautiful cottage in a tranquil setting.

We had such a lovely and relaxing holiday thank you and the cottage had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the setting was just perfect thank you. Joyce was an excellent communicator and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed, thank you. We visited lots of beautiful places including the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Gloucester Docks and Worcester, to name a few. We cannot recommend Joyce and Derek’s cottage highly enough. Best wishes Gill & Mark x

Lovely cottage with all the facilities we needed.

Clean and tidy throughout. In a quiet and peaceful location with a short stroll to the centre of Upton with lots of shops and cafes and pubs with great food. Fruit farm nearby that has local produce in their shop. Local walks from the cottage were very good, and short drives out to Pershore, Malvern and Worcester were also super. We found Rose Cottage perfect for our needs and would return for 2 weeks next time.

A very comfortable cottage in an excellent location for the Malvern Spring Flower Show

Beds had been straightened and two folded towels placed on each but sheets had hairs and smelt of previous occupants.

Towels were stained. Bathroom also had not been cleaned. Oven covered in grease- grill tray covered in grease and roasting pan rusty. Contacted owner who said she would send a cleaner. Cleaner did not arrive and had to buy 3 sets of sheets. When bedding was changed duvets and mattress covers were stained with sweat marks. Fortunately, managed to find somewhere else to stay so left after 2 nights. Owner refused any refund.

The cottage was not very clean and the pots and pans were unusable - very rusty Wok.

Main bedroom sprung a leak in the rain so we moved to the smaller bedroom which smelt awful. The internet was excellent and there was ample parking.

Staying at Rose Cottage for a week was the hi light of our 3 week UK trip.

Beautiful Tudor home, Comfy beds, cozy fire, easy walk to the village, everything we needed for a lovely stay in Upton on Severn.

wonderful location, lighting inadequate to read by, no tea towels, had to dry dishes with kitchen paper towels, on last day left them on rack hoping it would be noted that tea towels were not available, worried in case they thought we had perhaps taken them, no contact phone number in cottage , had no idea of how to dispose of waste or rrecycling rules, again no information inside cottage, no great problems but together became so.

No contact from anyone on our arrival.However, enjoyed our holiday

Great property in great location.

Everything you need from home. This is a home from home accommodation, well presented and close to all the amenities in the village and surrounding countryside. Great for anytime of the year.

A cottage full of character, and a comfortable and ideal home-away-from-home for a few days.

The location couldn't have been better for us.

Lovely spacious cottage.

Two good sized double rooms and one smaller. Lots of old wooden beams. Well equipped kitchen. Excellent location - pleasant 5 minute walk into town.

I think some provision for making coffee would be nice a cafetiere is a easy addition to the kitchen.

A couple more basic utensils in the drawer such as a wooden or silicone spoon as there was nothing soft to stir pans with and I didn't want to damage the non-stick. Also there wasn't any provision for recycling we had to bring it all home? In 2022 with the climate crisis this is a basic necessity.

We had a wonderful time staying at Rose Cottage.

The owner could not have done any more to make our stay any better, so very helpful and welcoming. The location and the property were great, I would 100% recommend this property. Thank you once again for a great experience.

Lovely cottage this is our second visit.

The cottage could do with a deep clean especially stair carpets and oven probably the result of it being the end of the holiday season.

However the facilities were good .It was also very nice to have a supply of jams ,milks ,tea and coffee.. The location was excellent

The cottage was a good size and in a great location, walking distance from the town and a few minutes drive from lots of places to visit, a great base for our holiday.

The cottage was as listed and a good size for an old building, but it felt unloved and in need of a refresh. A deep clean, some new dining room chairs that didn't squeek and new mattresses would have warranted the fifth star. All in all it is a good place for a holiday and had plenty of facilities for a well appointed cottage.

Rose cottage was excellent in all respects.

Very comfortable and roomy accommodation and with a short walk alongside the river to a choice of riverside restaurants and pubs. The location was quiet and private with a good size garden with table and chairs, suitable for outdoor eating. An added bonus was the choice of tea bags, coffee and milk and a selection of jams. Certainly one of the nicest accommodations we have been in.

Cosy old cottage but little daylight and inadequate lighting.

Low ceilings in the bedrooms so watch your head. The property requires general upgrading and better maintenance. Having said that the area was beautiful with lots of nice walks and interesting places to see. Lots of nice pubs and restaurants in the area. Great Malvern is worth a visit. We had a great time in spite of the limitations of the cottage.

There was just one problem that I had with the cottage I phoned the owner before we went to ask if any bedding had feathers as I have an allergy to them I was told there wasn’t any.

But the first night I had breathing problems I then found two pillows were duck down which gave me the problem.

Amazing setting right next to the river.

A 15 minute walk to the beautiful village of Upton Upon Severn and 10 minutes walk to the marina. The cottage is beautiful with plenty of indoors and outdoor space with adequate seating for 6 inside and out. Equipped with a BBQ and all mod cons for good and bad weather. Adored the property and would highly recommended to anyone after a relaxing staycation.

Beautiful cottage with plenty of room on offer.

Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable living room. Ideally located, just a few minutes walk to the town centre which has so many fascinating shops and pubs. Really happy we visited and will certainly book again in the future.

Great property, brilliant location, the heating was a bit lacking, not all radiators were working, hence low score on comfort.

We booked this through booking.com and not direct with you so really answer to first question is n/a

A very quaint cottage that was larger than anticipated in a beautiful and convenient location on the waterside near Upton on Severn marina.

When I read the description I thought one bedroom was off another whereas in reality there were 3 separate bedrooms all with double beds and their own access. The owner was lovely and contacted us saying not to rush on departure, which was very useful as one of the party was 92 years old. Hope to return at a future date.

Lovely weekend stay in Rose Cottage, Upton.

Very cosy,clean & good supply of usual household item's eg: cleaning products, bin bags, tea towels etc. Lovely supply of tea, coffee etc.A short 5 minute walk into Upton several very friendly pubs nearby. Great location.Would definitely recommend. 5 out of 5.

Disappointed with patio area, needs some attention.

View to marina blocked by overgrown trees, this I must add is not the fault of the owner of the cottage. A lot of building work in progress close to the cottage. River now not accessible, but that's progress!!

The cottage was advertised as "overlooking the marina", but the tree, shrub and bramble growth was so great that all view of the marina was blocked.

..very disappointing.

It gave us a lovely place to relax at the end of each day

Perfect setting, very comfortable cottage.

From booking to leaving was very easy and convenient.

Lovely little cottage in a very quiet location, but only a short walk from shops and pubs.

Due to a last minute cancellation from another Sykes cottage, Rose cottage was able to accommodate us which we were very grateful for.

Although for 3 tall men we found the ceilings a little low

We booked Rose Cottage for Christmas for a group of 5 people.

The owners of the cottage were very accommodating and on hand to help us with any questions we had. The cottage itself is spacious for a cottage and fit 5 people very easily and comfortably. The kitchen could use a few more utensils and a bigger fridge but was still sufficient to cook a full Christmas roast dinner. The area itself is beautiful. Upton upon Severn was perfect for a relaxing, quiet getaway. Would definitely recommend booking for a nice stay and easy access to the Cotswolds.

Lovely little cottage in a great location, well equipped, warm and cosy and a great base for a family holiday.

We will visit again without hesitation.

I have stayed twice at Rose Cottage and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits.

The cottage has everything you need plus more and is very comfortable. I especially like the location, it is a short walk to the town which has everything you need. Travelling from overseas I appreciated the care basket of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and sauces and also having a clothes dryer, makes laundry so much quicker! When I first stayed in November 2016, I was not familiar with the use of the electric cooktop and oven and the fireplace but the owners were so kind and helpful and took their time to explain to me how to use each of them. The owners made me feel very welcomed and when I returned in Sept 2017, it felt like I was coming back home.

A lovely cottage in a great location
