"An absolutely lovely week."
So peaceful and relaxing. The owners are absolutely wonderful. Cottage is stunning. The views are out of this world. Every night I sat by the window in the lounge and gazed up to the stars. I saw shooting stars and meteorites. Lots of hiking trails. The nearby town has everything you need. Definitely going back. Can't wait.

"A lovely peaceful place with wonderful views."
Very comfortable. Hugely kind and helpful owner. One small quibble, lodge equipped with a microwave and conventional oven but no dishes to cook things in either. Otherwise can heartedly recommend.
Thank you for your kind feedback Janet . I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. As requested I immediately provided more dishes for your use Property Owner

"Little Magnolia is fabulous!"
Our jaws dropped when we saw the amazing views from the lodge. Our week was perfect in every way; from the warm welcome, (which included a delightful collection of tasty goodies to enjoy), to the superb accommodation...we even had sunshine every day. The area is beautiful too, with countryside walks from the door, as well as pretty towns, hillside hikes and NT properties within easy reach. Thank you so much!
Thank you both for the lovely feedback and I am so pleased the weather was kinder than we had all expected. Thank you also for your praise both of the lodge and our beautiful county. You were great guests and it was a pleasure to meet you . Property Owner

"Our second visit to this stunning little property."
Caroline and Keith are fabulous hosts who have made this lovely place like a home from home with lots of lovely touches and a fabulous welcome box with fabulous homemade and homegrown treats. Nothing is too much trouble and you're very sure of really warm welcome. So much so that we're heading back just after Christmas!
A real joy to see you both again Des and Julie, and we were so pleased the weather was kind to you and you managed to fit everything in. Thanks once again for leaving the lodge in immaculate condition and for the wonderful feedback xx Property Owner

"Little Magnolia is a lovely clean, comfortable, well-equipped lodge in a pretty, quiet location with great views over the surrounding countryside (enhanced by the large feature windows)."
A great base for exploring the Malverns, the Cotswolds and the many attractions of this lovely part of the country. Caroline and Keith were the perfect, friendly hosts, and the tasty welcome pack was kindly adapted to take account of food allergies. We particularly enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in the garden and the amusing antics of the bullocks that were (safely) in the field behind during our visit. Definitely one of the very best places we have stayed in - can unreservedly recommend and would love to return some time.
Thank you Graham for the positive feedback for which we are most grateful. We are so pleased you had a great stay. You were wonderful guests and we would love to see you both again if ever you were in the area. Property Owner

"Caroline and Keith are the perfect hosts, they give you so much privacy, while always being on hand if you need anything at all no matter how small."
The lodge is kitted out with everything you could ever need, and is furnished to such a high quality. We loved seeing the cows everyday and sitting outside on the beautiful patio watching the sunset and then the beautiful stars. The welcome hamper is a lovely touch, with super delicious local treats and home made items. This little slice of paradise is not to be missed, and we will definitely be back, maybe even as a married couple as we got engaged in the garden during our stay. A special place all round for sure, only sad we had to leave!
Dear Em and Stew, it was such an honour to know that Little Magnolia hosted such a special occasion for you . Thank you for being such wonderful guests and for the lovely feedback. We would love to see you return as Mr and Mrs and further your enjoyment of our haven and all that the area offers. Happy wedding planning ! xx Property Owner

"Little Magnolia is a gorgeous self-catering lodge in a lovely quiet location, with countryside views, perfect for a relaxing break and conveniently situated for exploring the area."
The owners were very welcoming and the Welcome Hamper was excellent, filled with local goodies and delicious homemade cake. The large windows were great for watching the squirrels and birds, keeping us entertained at breakfast.
Apologies for my late response to your positive feedback. You were wonderful guests and we hope you may come back and visit again one day. Property Owner

"From the moment we arrived to, sadly departing a week later we were thrilled to be able to share this stress free zone."
Caroline and Keith are the perfect hosts and warmly welcomed us on arrival, the welcome pack of home made and local produce was the best we've experienced. If you like peace and quiet interrupted only by beautiful birdsong, relaxing views across the adjoining field to a copse that is home to various wildlife and a very comfortable place to stay THIS IS IT! Whilst there we visited numerous national trust places and ate out often in the great pubs and restaurants all within easy reach. To sum up we loved it and we're sure you will too. Barry & Heather
Thank you both for the wonderful feedback and the appreciation of Little Magnolia. We truly enjoyed your presence and are most pleased you found your time here so relaxing. We hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes to you both. Caroline and Keith. Property Owner

"Fantastic property with a lovely welcome box with lots of homemade or local produce."
A lovely friendly greeting from Caroline, the owner, who was a fountain of local knowledge regarding places to visit, directions etc. The property had everything you could need, including binoculars to watch the birds on the feeder just outside the large picture window which also had stunning views over the fields with the Malvern hills in the distance. Lovely places to visit in close proximity such as Symonds Yat, Malvern, Ledbury and of course Upton. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.
Thank you for your wonderful review which is truly appreciated You have been a joy to welcome as guests and thank you for the way you left the lodge in such immaculate condition I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would love to see you both again. Best wishes , Caroline Property Owner

"The property was absolutely outstanding and well deserved 5 stars."
It was extremely comfortable and relaxing. The views from the huge windows were of arable fields and a copse, but were mesmerising as there were many different wild birds. There was also a bird feeder in the garden and watching the antics of the birds and squirells was very entertaining. Little Magnolia was spotlessly clean, but the best thing was the owners, Caroline and Keith who couldn't have been more welcoming. The welcome hamper, mostly homemade was absolutely delicious!! We have been using Sykes for over 20 years and this is undoubtedly the best property to date! Thank you once again Caroline and Keith, we had a fantastic week and will return. Danny and Jackie
Thank you so much Danny and Jackie, for the wonderful and much appreciated positive feedback. We did enjoy your presence as we know how much you enjoyed the area and the wildlife , and relished the quiet, restful and recharging life at Little Magnolia. Thank you for leaving the lodge in immaculate condition and we would always be delighted to see you return Property Owner

"What an amazing cottage."
What an amazing location. Could not wait to wake up and enjoy sitting outside, relaxing with a cup of Nespresso coffee. Caroline and Keith were fantastic hosts. A lovely welcome pack of homemade bread, lemon drizzle cake, apple juice and orange marmalade was waiting for us. The cottage itself was fully equipped and furnished to the highest spec. Great location to use as a base for excursions to the Malvern Hills, the Cotswold, Worcester…. Thank you Caroline and Keith for your hospitality. Looking forward to returning soon.

"Thank you Caroline and Keith for our lovely stay at Little Magnolia to use as a base to explore the local area."
Ideal property for 2 for a few nights with all the facilities to make it so relaxing, including the garden with the comfy furniture. You have put so much effort in to the property to enable this all to happen and was on hand if we did needed anything. It was a lovely welcome with the cake and extras that lasted all week!

"Firstly I like to say what a lovely holiday home."
It's spacious and extremely comfortable. The windows here are something else and act like giant size picture frames, housing ever changing countryside and beautiful sky's. Also the sunset that drops behind the rolling hills are not to be missed. We had such a fantastic time and so relaxing, you couldn't ask for anything more, only that our time there was longer. Caroline and Keith were amazing hosts and so welcoming. I can't thank them enough. For us this was the perfect romantic retreat combined with the scenery to match and the location is excellent for hiking the picturesque Malvern hills. We have stayed in some lovely places and this getaway is truly outstanding. Thank you so much. We will definitely be revisiting and next time for longer. From very happy customers, Gemma and Spenser.
Thank you so much Gemma &Spenser, what a beautiful acknowledgment of Little Magnolia , for which we are so grateful. We will welcome you back at your earliest opportunity and count ourselves so lucky to be meeting and making friends with such wonderful guests. Here’s to your next visit. Thank you again xxx Property Owner

"Had a wonderful week at Little Magnolia."
The cottage and it’s surroundings were stunning. Wonderful views of the Malvern Hills and stunning sunsets in the evening. The cottage itself was immaculate. Spent most mornings just sat taking in the views in the garden was so relaxing we didn’t want to leave. Lots of places to visit nearby. Caroline and Keith were perfect hosts giving us lots of information about places to visit nothing was too much trouble for them. A delicious welcome pack of homemade bread, marmalade, lemon drizzle cake, apple juice and local strawberries and a few more essentials was a lovely treat. Thank you again Caroline and Keith for your kindness. Look forward to returning soon to this peaceful haven Wendy & Michael

"Could not be happier with our recent stay at Little Magnolia."
The welcome from Caroline was second to none with a tremendous welcome basket and very friendly and very welcoming hosts. The Lodge was extremely well located with excellent facilities and finished to a very high standard. The views from the feature windows was a pleasure to wake up to each morning. The well presented garden area was peaceful and private and ideal to relax in each day while watching a variety of local wildlife as well as taking in great views of the the Malvern Hills The lodge was a great base to explore the wonderful local countryside and picturesque towns of Upton, Tewkesbury, Malvern & Ledbury. Couldn't fault the stay in any way and already looking forward to planning our next stay with Caroline and Keith at Little Magnolia

"We had a fantastic time, it’s so clean and beautiful."
The owners are brilliant. The time and care put into this building is next level. They have thought of everything, they made us fresh lemon drizzle cake, freshly picked strawberries, freshly made apple juice. If your thinking of a stay away then I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. The surrounding towns are great too but we preferred to stay and make use of the accommodation. Thank you for a wonderful weekend away. Dan and kate

"Beautiful place to stay with amazing views, lovely local wildlife and secluded sunsets."
The extra little touches were really thoughtful and made for a warm welcome, and the home baked lemon drizzle cake was delicious! The space was very clean and tidy, with a nice supply of must haves, from shower gel and bubble bath to washing up liquid and basic seasoning, really helpful. Caroline and Keith were delightful hosts and made sure to be attentive whilst giving space where needed. We really needed this quiet and calm getaway, and will be back for sure!

Head inside to find a hallway, with space to hang your jackets and store your boots, ready for when you explore this rural area.
The open-plan living space is showered in natural light from the large windows; here you can unwind with a cup of tea on the sofa and admire the views before you.
Prepare home-cooked meals in the kitchen area, home to an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with an ice box and a dishwasher to do the cleaning up for you.
When stomachs rumble, settle down at the dining table for two, as you tuck-into delicious meals, chat about the highlights of the day so far.
Make use of the coffee station to enjoy a frothy coffee and venture outside onto the swing chair to savour the tranquil setting with a good book.
A charcoal barbecue offers alternative cooking arrangements for when the sun is shining; afterwards, snuggle up on the sofa and flicker through the options on the Smart TV.
When eyes tire, prepare for bed in the bathroom with a soak in the deep bathtub or rinse the day away in the walk-in shower.
A super-king-size bed awaits, so why not get tucked in with a hot chocolate and watch the Smart TV.
In the morning, slip on a robe before enjoying a cup of tea outside on the patio while breathing in the fresh air.
A short stroll will lead you to The Drum & Monkey, where you can unwind with a chilled pint or for a greater selection of bars and eateries, head into the town of Upton Upon Severn.

Worcester 12 miles; Great Malvern 6 miles; Tewkesbury 6 miles; Cheltenham 18 miles.
The pretty country town of Upton upon Severn lies on the banks of the River Severn and boasts a variety of delightful 17th century buildings and attractive shops, including 'The Pudding Shop', along with traditional inns, cafes, restaurants and its very own museum. It also plays host to many annual festivals, including Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals, as well as the Sunshine Music Festival. This thriving small town has its own marina, a vineyard and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm, plus the town’s medieval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th century cupola, known locally as 'The Pepperpot'.

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills offer 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways, and form a 9 mile range of ancient rock.

There are many National Trust properties, vineyards and gardens in the area, as well as outdoor activities to suit all abilities. The nearby market towns such as Ledbury and Tewkesbury have a wealth of black-and-white houses and inns.
