  An excellent cottage, albeit it was a difficult and bitter sweet stay for us.

  Very comfortable and would like to come back in warmer weather as it was quite a cold time to visit. Great garden for the dogs - big one enjoyed it off lead but my small dog needed a lead on as she finds very little gaps! Beautiful views and walks. Directions given to the property could be better because the final left turn was not noticeable from the road as it was obscured by bushes and trees. It took us ages in the dark and ice to find the place and several phone calls as the internet went down as we were trying to call for directions. Once we got through the owner was excellent and very kindly guided us in perfectly. Even a stop at the Bluebell Pub to ask directions was not successful and not all cars have the facility to key in co-ordinates. Directions from the M5 coming south would be far better to say come off at Jct 7 and either head along the B4084 and turning right onto A4104, turning left at The Poacher and bringing you in from the other side or coming along the A38 and then turning left along the A4104 and right just before The Poacher and bringing you in again from the other side. If you are coming up from the south then directions to continue up to the roundabout and turn right onto the A4104 and turning right at The Poacher would be easier than turning by The Bluebell.

  We had a week booked at Manor Farm Cottage, a barn that was converted to a 2 bedroomed cottage in the 1950s.

  The view from this place was just utterly amazing. For those that know me - I don't generally like being in the kitchen cooking... but I loved staring out the window and gawking at the ever changing scenery at this place! The rooms were lovely and spacious and the beds great for a fab nights sleep. Mattress right up our alley. The lounge was also nice. It did not have an open fire, but did come with an electric one giving the illusion of burning logs. WiFi was excellent and on the very few occasions where we lost signal, we mostly had 4G or 5G at 3+ bars on our mobiles.... a game changer from previous places we have stayed at. On arrival we were greeted with a home made poppyseed bread, some coconut biscuits and a pint of milk for the humans. In a dog bowl there was a few packets of treats for the furball. Lots of pamphlets detailing activities and interests in the surrounds and neighbouring counties. Also loved that they had a few basics at hand - oil, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, sugar, some dishwasher tablets and some washing machine pods. Whether you looking for a place to spend a few days exploring Worcestershire and Gloucestershire or the Malvern Hills, or if you there for work and want a home away from home.... we highly recommend this place!

  We booked via Quidco yet the discount has been declined and we are having to challenge this.

  Sykes rep on phone has never heard of Quidco so that wasn’t very helpful. Also suggested that there was a new piece of info added to briefs about EV charging. He did not take me seriously at all. The cottage was clean but cold. Beds were very comfortable. The welcome pack was very welcoming. The main problem we had was that we had recently swapped cars for an EV and there was nowhere to plug in at the cottage. The entire week was spent looking for and sitting at charging points. I appreciate that this is an odd piece of feedback but we came equipped with lead and extension but we were still too far away from a socket. Charging over night is really the only sensible option; as a new EV owner I only realised this when we couldn’t! This is in no way a criticism of the cottage and even if I had known before it would have made no difference as I had booked and paid for it before swapping the car but I think suggesting an additional category on the info from Sykes was a useful and positive reaction to the worst holiday we have ever had! To have the suggestion met with a blank response was not reassuring.

  One of the best appointed holiday lets we have ever stayed in, not only was the property perfect for our needs, well equipped and presented but the location was too!

  From the welcome pack on arrival (which Geoff personally made the extra effort to alter as we are both non-drinkers) to the supremely well kitted-out kitchen, bathrooms and without doubt THE most comfortable bed either of us has ever slept in! Outside is a lovely little courtyard for sunny morning breakfasts and down the garden a decking area for evening relaxing watching the colourful paragliders lazily passing overhead. Stunning view across to the Cotswolds in the distance make for some great photo opportunities too. The location was ideal for exploring the Malvern's and surrounding areas and only a mile from the Three Counties Show Ground should you time your stay for one of the many events that go on over the year. Based at the foot of the Malvern Hills themselves it is ideally situated for keen walkers, dog owners and mountain bikers, just a five minute walk up the road and you're on the trails up the hills for what are some of the best views anywhere. We have had the best two weeks hear and could have stayed longer, no hesitation in recommending Geoff & Glynn's lovely cottage to anyone!

  The chocolate box lives up to its name. You enter into a small hall bedecked with mirrors lit by two amazing lights 3 doors leave. To the left you have a bathroom complete with a double bath surrounded by old wood and verdigris coated copper. It also sports an antique mirror. The middle door leads to a double bedroom with a really comfortable modern four poster bed. Another unique light sets it off. Then we move to door 3 and the main living area. Once again a great colour scheme set off by multi coloured lights and another 2 great lights. Remote control blinds including one that doubles as a TV projector screen cover the windows. Great views from the back. Off road parking is available. It has only one negative and that is the lack of outside space. However across the road there is a very quiet road leading to a track up on to the hills great for those short doggy calls of nature. We were lucky to be the first guests at this place and I would highly recommend it.
