  • Alan

    Very convenient and comfortable and Allison was wery helpful at every stage. Only thing we missed was a microwave. Very highly recommended holiday accommodation in Great Malvern.

  • Anne-marie

    The inside is updated and quaint for 1 or 2 people in a very convenient location. The attention to detail is wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. Shower is a nice rain shower, but do note the fan does take a while to turn off. The kitchen is very well stocked and all of the “treats” left are a very nice touch. My only cons are that there were hairs and coffee drops on the floor in the bedroom, and the remotes are different to the ones in the picture instructions. Hosts are quick to reply and are now aware of TV remote instructions need to be updated. I would highly recommend this property and would be happy to stay again. Please note there are a set of steep steps up to the property. No problem for myself, but could be for some.

    Great Malvern is a nice town, walking was great and easy to hop on a train to travel further afield.
