The cottage is set on a peaceful estate (they are building a house nearby but honestly the only thing we heard were a few vans passing by) The beds were comfy and each room had a lovely bathroom with good showerThe lodge has a well equipped kitchen with things like washing up liquid, dishwasher pods provided. The welcome pack was a really nice touch.The property was very clean and overall well maintained.The roads around are pretty good (many single track!) and you can get to lots of local attractions within a short drive

We enjoyed our stay. It’s an airy, warmly furnished and well equipped house. Also a peaceful location, at least over the weekend we stayed - the construction work nearby may be noisy during the day, until it’s finished..

Ecellent location if youre looking for peace and quiet. Lovely views, including Worcester Beacon and lots of options for sitting outside at any time, listening to the animals, wildlife and watching sunsets. Of course the weather was glorious this year! The estate has great access to many paths for 2-3 hour circular walks, though reach dead ends sometimes. Longer walks within easy driving. Lovely Villages ( Ledbury stunning) around, though wanted to avoid Malvern, for driving to from the estate and parking.Very helpful people on the estate.Will come again!
