The Parlour was a lovely welcoming little holiday cottages. Spotlessly clean and just right for myself, my husband and our golden retiever. It had everything we needed. An excellent base for exploring the area & for us, visiting RHS Malvern Autumn Show. We visited the local pub, The Jockey. Lovely pub with delicious food. We would recommend The Parlour and would return too.

I booked the property for 7 nights, on arrival I was checking the property out, I opened the kitchen door and saw an area that was enclosed. I took my dog out. Almost immediately the owner came to the front door and said the kitchen door was a fire exit and the area was private.I later noticed that with the exception of the bathroom and front door all the windows were obscured glass. There was no views out of the windows.I have a bad back and the settee was had no support in the cushions, leaning back I could feel the wooden frame. It was so uncomfortable that my back became very painful so we left after two nights.
