"Had a great week at the escape."

"A lovely self-contained flat in a beautiful character property."

The inside is updated and quaint for 1 or 2 people in a very convenient location. The attention to detail is wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. Shower is a nice rain shower, but do note the fan does take a while to turn off. The kitchen is very well stocked and all of the “treats” left are a very nice touch. My only cons are that there were hairs and coffee drops on the floor in the bedroom, and the remotes are different to the ones in the picture instructions. Hosts are quick to reply and are now aware of TV remote instructions need to be updated. I would highly recommend this property and would be happy to stay again. Please note there are a set of steep steps up to the property. No problem for myself, but could be for some.

Very clean and comfortable. Friendly owner. Would have liked a mat in the shower tray as it could be slippy.

"I had a really lovely stay."

Room was as described, clean and comfortable, and owner was in touch to see if I needed anything more. Breakfast items were left for us, which was a nice touch, and I'd definitely be back if I visit the area again. Location was good, a short drive from lovely walks and close to the High St and numerous coffee shops and restaurants :)

Dear Mr Jones We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are fortunate to have the best of both world only five minutes from all the bars and restaurants and ten minutes from the hill. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Many thanks Allison Property Owner

"Would thoroughly recommend a stay at The Escape in Malvern."

The hosts Alison and Mark were thoughtful and helpful and the property has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It was very clean and so very comfy. A great location if you don't want to have to keep driving. We parked up on the first night and did not use the car again until we left. Lots of nice places to eat and drink, and great access to walking in the hills. The outside space was nice too especially for a sundowner after a walk. Book this property, you won't be disappointed!

"The Escape is a lovely bolt hole, in a fantastic location a short walk from the centre of Malvern."

It combines the best of both worlds, being in a stately period building yet having a fresh, contemporary feel and decor. Allison was extremely friendly and helpful, going the extra mile, and allowed me to sit out on her sunny terrace at the front of the house when I wanted to read and enjoy the good weather. All in all, a great stay in a very stylish and convenient apartment. Recommended!
