  Yew Tree Cottage is the loveliest place we have ever stayed and we were truly sad to leave.

  It was clean and cosy and felt like a home away from home. The owners supplied a lovely welcome pack which included milk, bread and treats for the dogs so we did not have to worry about getting supplies on the day of arrival. We took our 3 dogs and they loved the garden. We would spend hours out there playing ball and enjoying the sun and the lovely views of the hills. It was large and very secure and even though it was next to a fairly busy road at rush hour times, you still felt like you were in a quiet location. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage both upstairs and downstairs. There was a lovely porch to leave your shoes, dog collars and leads which was really handy. The kitchen was well equipped and the dishwasher and washing machine were easy to use. We did not use the jacuzzi bath but the shower was powerful and again was easy to use. The description when booking stated the WIFI was not good so before we went we downloaded movies onto our tablets/computers but we found we were able to stream movies and programs from Disney+, Netflix and SkyGo without buffering so we did not need the downloads after all. Yew Tree Cottage is in a great location with British Camp Iron Age Hill Fort and Black Hill within a couple of miles from the property. There are car parks for each walk (£6 for the day) and a nice pub to quench your thirst after the walk. The welcome brochure also mentioned a couple of "hidden gems", one of which was St Wulstans Local Nature Reserve which is a lovely walk. The owners of Yew Cottage had even mowed the grass verge at the side of the road so you could easily walk along it safely with your four legged friends. There is also The Marlbank Pub within a mile of the cottage which does wonderful Indian Food. The owners lived on site but were not intrusive at all. If we needed them they were there. We will definitely be returning to Yew Tree Cottage next year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

  We have just returned from a week at Yew Tree Cottage.

  We honestly cannot recommend this property and its location enough. An absolutely lovely cottage with amazing views across the Malvern Hills. A super area with lots to visit and wonderful scenery. The Cottage: absolutely perfect in every way ... immaculately clean in every room, very comfortable and warm, fabulous jacuzzi bath, jigsaws/books/board games, and a huge selection of DVD's. Wonderful, completely enclosed garden perfect for your dog and a bowl of Bonio biscuits - sadly we had just had to have our baby put to sleep before arriving but she would have loved it and it was the perfectly secure space for dogs, and their humans to enjoy. For the humans - a welcome selection of hot drink sachets, milk, bread, butter: thank you xxx. The Owners: so welcoming and approachable, but never encroached on our stay whatsoever; just knew they were available if we had a problem, which we didn't. I would have absolutely no hesitation at booking this wonderful holiday home again - only wish was that we had booked longer lol !!

  Absolutely lovely cottage with views over countryside and the Malvern Hills.

  Excellent non intrusive hosts who have gone the extra mile to provide a lovely comfortable environment for people to rest and relax. Fantastic welcome pack, Amazing beds, superb enclosed wrap around large private garden for people and dogs. To enjoy. We honestly cannot fault this cottage, it was one of the best and we have stayed in many over the past twenty years, We took 4 dogs with us, all dogs had ample space and comfort, the cottage was nice and warm and basically is a nice upmarket home from home. Nice and secure for dogs and we didn’t have a problem opening and shutting the gate to the property in fact we found the extra layer of security most welcome. The owners do live on site in a separate gated area but they are discreet and respectful of privacy and certainly did not encroach in any way. Thank you, we will be back . Rosemary and Con x

  We had a wonderful holiday.

  Yew Tree Cottage is very well appointed, it had everything we needed including a washing machine/tumble dryer and dishwasher, which my husband was extremely grateful for! The self-contained garden is huge and Alfie and Megan (our dogs) loved it. The garden is safe and secure. The owners Stuart and Jess, are lovely, they do not intrude but are always willing to stop and talk and were keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The area is picturesque with lots of interesting towns and villages within a short drive. If you are a walker then the Malvern hills are ideal with lots of flatter walks around. Yew Tree Cottage is on the border of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, with cities like Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester within easy reach. We will definitely be returning.

  I stayed for 4 weeks, on my own with two dogs.

  I cannot fault the facilities but I constantly felt on edge. The sound insulation from next door is virtually non existent. I was tip toeing round. The accommodation is listed as pet friendly, but the layout didn't work for me. I hadn't realised the owners lived on site and had I known, for a 4 week stay, this was intrusive and not deliberate on the owners' part. Having to get my dogs in the car, open the main gate, shut it again behind me, became an inconvenience. Also sending texts to the owner and not having the courtesy of an acknowledgement, made me feel I had chosen the wrong place to stay. Lovely cottage but only condusive for a short stay.
