I stayed with a group of friends for a long weekend at Brook House and Parkers. We had a wonderful couple of days. The setting is tranquil, the houses were clean and well equipped. KIm. the caretaker was helpful beyond the call of duty, liaising with me before, during and after the stay and allowing us to be flexible with timing. There were some provisions waiting to welcome us. Plenty to do in and around Malvern
