What our customers say about their holidays

  Brambles Cottage was very lovely, comfy and clean.

  The owners very kindly left a welcome pack, which was very nice. The area was lovely and we did have a good holiday. However, from the description on Sykes we were not aware we were going to a farm environment. This only became apparent when we received our holiday details and address, etc, just before departure. This wasn't a problem until the Wednesday of our stay when I was awoken around 8am by banging from building work being done. On the Thursday, my birthday, our peace was literally shattered by the arrival of a concrete mixer and another piece of machinery. From about 10am that morning the concrete mixer was outside Brambles Cottage and the other piece of machinery was actually outside the gate going backwards and forwards moving concrete from the mixer to another site on the farm. The noise was terrible, even from inside the cottage. We have photos and video footage of this to capture the actual noise. We could not have gone outside the gate. We were, in fact, waiting for a taxi to go out for a meal so were at the cottage all morning. This virtually ruined our last morning at Brambles. The lady owner did apologise to us for the noise when we were leaving that day, and the owner himself did tell us they were having work done on our arrival on 23 March. However, my point is we should have been made aware of this either before we booked, or having booked we should have been given the opportunity to book an alternative stay somewhere else. It is a bit late to tell guests there is building work going to happen when they arrive, having booked and paid in advance, and looking forward to a peaceful holiday in the countryside. I would value your comments. Thank you.

  We were absolutely delighted with our stay in Brambles Cottage!

  The owner had not only left a very generous welcome pack, but had beautifully decorated the cottage for Christmas too. So many delightful touches which went way beyond what we could have expected. They had even thought to turn on the hot tub in advance so we could use it on the first day. The cottage itself had every facility we could have wanted and was immaculately clean and very comfortable. The fenced in back garden meant my dog could be safely let out which I also very much appreciated. One tiny problem I encountered, (which the owners had mentioned), was finding the cottage on the first day, in the dark. There is a sign facing the road, but in the dark and with heavy fog, I couldn't see it and ended up driving past it several times. I wonder if it might help to have reflective posts by the entrance? But this is a minor point. We were delighted with our stay and would certainly highly recommend this cottage and want to visit again. Thank you to the owners for making our stay such a delight.

  We have just returned from Bramble Cottage today and have had an amazing stay for the second year running and cannot find a cottage in another part of the country that offers the same amenities / standard so have booked again for 2020.

  Jess and Stuart provide everything you could ever need. It really is home from home. They provide an excellent welcome pack - bread / milk / butter / coffee / tea / sugar / locally made apple juice / the most gorgeous biscuits / dog treats and maps and books on the local area. The property is ideally located for the Malvern Hills - Upton-on Severn - Worcester - Malvern / Ledbury and many more places to visit and so many walks. The local butchers in Ledbury is highly recommended D T Waller and the fish and chips at the Malvern Hills Hotel after a long day walking the hills. Fully enclosed big garden with excellent hot tub looking onto the Malvern Hills. Immaculately clean and welcoming property. We have 3 Springer Spaniels and the property is so easy to keep clean with slate floor in the kitchen. Very highly recommended

  Unfortunately we were generally disappointed with the property although as a base for our cycling holiday the location was very good.

  One of the main reasons we selected this property was that secure bike storage was listed however, upon arrival we found this was not available and as such our cycles had to be left outside. We felt the overall appearance of the property was shabby with curtains hanging off their rails and black mould and stained walls clearly visible. The patio area was dirty and covered in birds droppings and weeds. The plastic chairs were dirty and covered in mould. One of the wooden benches was rotten and the barbecue had not been cleaned. No parasol or chair covers were available. I would strongly recommend someone from Sykes visits this property as I suspect it is some time since an inspection was undertaken.

  We had a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage.

  So much space, very well equipped and an incredible garden for our two dogs. The view was amazing, a real treat sitting in the hot tub with a view of the beautiful Malvern hills. Warm and cosy as it was cold outside! Great hospitality welcome pack from the owners who were on site to welcome us on arrival. They replaced a security garden light bulb when we queried a lamp which was not working, asap. It made letting out the dogs in the evening a lot easier. Fantastic walks, nearby Malvern Hills hotel bar/restaurant was a delight, delicious food and friendly staff. We would highly recommend this perfect cottage. The hot tub was a real treat!
