"This place could be amazing but it's tired, dirty and in need of a lot of tlc."
The wall lights in the bedroom are wobbly.
There are air fresheners everywhere - even in the wardrobe. A good clean would make it smell better!
The towels were hard and rough.
There's nowhere in the bathroom, neither shelves or cupboard to put toiletries.
There's no window covering in the bathroom - although the blind fitments are there.
The oven is a disgrace. It's dirty inside and the door doesn't fit properly. The numbers have all worn off on the knobs and the ignition doesn't work. There's a metal protector to pull out (a label tells you to) when using the grill, it's all gummed up with old food fat and dirt, almost impossible to move.
The cupboards are full of stuff other people have left behind.
The kitchen tap is still dripping - after reviews going back to April saying the same thing.
The bowl is too big for the sink and, like the drainer on the side of the sink, is old and dirty.
The inside of the kettle had to be scrubbed to get rid of the limescale before we could use it.
The kitchen blind is filthy.
The menus in the folder, for the pub, are way out of date and there's very little information.
The steps up to the door are rotting and the outside light doesn't work.
I can't comment on the pillows or duvet - we'd read previous comments and thought it best to take our own.
There are cobwebs absolutely everywhere and all the doors and window frames look as though they could do with a good scrub
It could be a lovely holiday lodge but it's so very uncared for - so unfair to take people's money and offer the lodge in the state it's in.
Hi Jackie

"The location and the stite is beautiful."
Having The Duke of York pub was fantastic. Unfortunately the lodge itself is very tired. Dripping tap in the kitchen, which was annoying. The bed wasn't great. The pillows had a nasty smell and the duvet is very lumpy and needs replacing. The oven is dirty. The TV electric's to the mains were taped up.

"The site was well maintained and peaceful."
Lodge overall was as described and in reasonably good order, however the kitchen tap dripped badly all the time, and definately short on Cutlery and china, good heating and hot water. We spent a pleasant week here.
Thank you for your feedback
We do provide enough cutlery and crockery for 3 people Im not sure what else was required ? We do leave our numbers in the Lodge for you to ring us if there is anything you are not happy about Jim would of popped down and fixed the tap if you had rung.
Many thanks

"The lodge was all we required,it had all the comfort needs for a restful stay."
there was the plus of having a pub serving decent meals a few steps away which was dog friendly, the only problem for us was that busy holiday period,that the Malvern hill walks were busy must choose a different date for next trip. otherwise we will recommend this place to stay.
Thank you for your comments, we hope to see you again

"Broad Down, is a very comfortable, clean, relaxing, quiet lodge, communication between the owners was excellent, I stayed their with my mum and we both found the beds comfortable."
The site is also kept very clean and tidy, steps a little slippy in the wet so just be careful in the winter.

"A wonderful relaxing break."
Super accommodation, especially good to have such a large main bedroom with so much more wardrobe space than you would normally get, and a useful ensuite! I would imagine the washer/dryer is a great bonus if you have bad weather or are staying for longer. After a previous review I took an extra duvet to boost the mattress as my back isn't great, and it was great. Would say the second bedroom would be snug for an adult but the overall space in the lodge is super. Finally, the enclosed balcony is fantastic especially with a doggy, and impressive to have a further table, chairs and umbrella down on the grass. The site is immaculate!! Would thoroughly recommend.

"We had an excellent time."
Broad Down is lovely. We felt relaxed and at home. The camp site was clean and quite. Everyone was friendly. There is a pub at the entrance which is great and the food excellent. The static was very comfortable and we would definitely book again. Surrounding area has some great places to visit and we would recommend Eastnor Castle which is dog friendly to the point of allowing the dog to come into the castle apartments and rooms.

The pub next door was very welcoming and served excellent food.
All the people we met were very friendly

"Great place to stay."
Very comfortable and with all you need on hand.
However, one small detail stopped it from being a 5-star holiday.
Sadly the beds were rather uncomfortable.
Overall, though we would recommend it.

The duke of york pub a stone throw away is dog friendly. Advised booking as popular. Food is amasing and the prices are good. Pie night was so tasty. Landlord was very nice too.

"The cooker had to be lit by matches."
The frying pans need to be replaced as they are no longer non stick and some of the cutlery had not been washed properly. There was a cracked glass that needs to be replaced. I was advised the heating would be on when I arrived at 2.00pm, this was not the case it was cold. I could not get the central heating to work and only had the fire in the lounge for heat. Also I had to clear dog poo from the area near the dustbin. Otherwise the park was well kept and very quiet.
I have stayed in Sykes cottages five times and this is the first time I have had to make any adverse comments.
