"My wife and I were very impressed with how clean the property was."
Everything was very modern and well designed. The owners had thought of everything to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The kitchen was very modern and well equipped. The carton of milk in the fridge and a packet of quality biscuits on the side was a nice touch. The property is very secure and gated and is within easy travel distance of Worcester and surrounding towns. The owners have supplied a folder of information, including details and menus of local restaurants and pubs. A very enjoyable stay indeed

"The cottage is nicely presented, and was very clean."
The owners were polite and would wave when our paths crossed. The bed was very comfortable. It is located in a quiet area. It was the perfect place for a getaway for wedding anniversary, and would stay here again in the future.
-
"This property is fantastic!"
It is really well-equipped, is very clean and well decorated. It is spacious and gives off a calm and peaceful aura.
-
"Excellent property, comfortable, clean, all facilities needed & plenty of space."
It's position is ideal for touring the lovely towns in this area. Excellent pub serving Gurka dishes almost on the doorstep. If only the owners could have controlled the weather but you can't have everything.
-
"We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at Garden Cottage."
We were surprised at how big the lounge was. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the evening, watching a film here! The layout of the property is spot on and the facilities were high quality. We were very happy with every aspect. Visited Upton-upon-Severn and Tewkesbury. Can't wait to visit again, hopefully, for longer!
-
"Comfortable and welcoming property."
Good base for visiting the beautiful area. Milk and biscuits appreciated. The property is situated just outside Upton, approximately 2/3 miles, too far for us to walk. However, it is only 5 minutes in the car and there is free parking at the end of the town.
-
"Excellent property in Excellent surroundings."
Well sited for touring the Malverns and Cotswolds. Penny and Mike next door to deal with any issues which there were none. Well recommended. Peter and Diane.
-

Perfectly situated for exploring the Cotswolds. Excellent food at the nearby pub. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Would be more than happy to come on another visit.
-
"The cottage massively exceeded our expectations."
Could not fault it in any way. The pictures on the website really don’t do it justice. Would love another stay there
-
"A very good accommodation, well fitted out with every thing you need."
-
"A fabulous little place."
Extremely well appointed with comfy king size bed, great shower and kitchen. 2 comfy sofas in the lounge and good WiFi and smart tv. The blue bell pub round the corner ideal with good beers and Nepalese food. What’s not to like we’d highly recommend this lovely 1 bed cottage. Met penny & mike and the 2 lovely doggie brothers.
-
"Had a lovely week in garden cottage which is very comfortable, and well maintained can not fault it at all."
The owners Penny and Mike are on hand if you should need them they make you feel very much at home.
-
"A superb cottage - quite possibly the best we have stayed in."
Nothing lacking at all - spotlessly clean and very comfortably furnished. Hopefully won't be our only visit.
-
"We had a lovely week at Garden Cottage, situated in a good position to travel around the whole area in Worcestershire."
The cottage suited us just fine, well furnished and clean and very comfortable, just right for a week away to unwind and enjoy this beautiful part of the country. The owners left us alone to enjoy our holiday, the cake and milk etc on our arrival was welcomed, a home from home touch. Quite one of the best places we have stayed in through Sykes Holiday Homes, in all the years that we have been taking holidays in our country.
-
"Superb cottage would highly recommend"
-
"This was our second stay at Garden Cottage and we can say that the high standard of everything about the property has not changed in the interval between."
-
"We loved this wee cottage, it is the best equipt of any cottages we have rented."

-
"My husband and I had a lovely stay in the cottage."
The facilities are excellent and it makes such a difference to stay in a place where the owner has clearly taken care to create a home from home and not just provides the basics. We will definitely look to stay there again next time we visit the area!
-
"This cottage was a cosy retreat for us from London."
It was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
The cottage was cosy, clean and well equipped. Even though it was near the A38 it was quiet inside.
-
"We loved this property."
Its very well presented and in a great location, the welcome pack with cake is a nice touch. There is a fancy coffee machine but I couldn't get on with it and missed my Nespresso lol. The property is within the owners grounds but it's not an issue as they will leave you to enjoy your holiday. They are very approachable though and we have booked to go back
-
"We had a lovely comfortable stay at Garden Cottage."
Thank you Penny for the lovely cake which you left for us. Although located near the A38, we were not disturbed by traffic noise as we did not want to sit outside. I was puzzled by the lack of a coffee table in the photo taken of the lounge. There is one, but I won't spoil the surprise. The cottage is in a very good location close to many local attractions and there is a pub only a few minutes walk away, serving Nepalese food. We met the two dogs only once in the back garden and they greeted us enthusiastically. Would certainly stay here again.
-

"My wife and I would highly recommend this property as a base to explore the area."
It was a real ‘home from home’ and there are no adverse comments we could make. The owners of the let should be proud of facility they provide and we look forward to returning next year.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Penny's."
Nothing we could complain about. Top notch in every way. Beautiful area and 2 delightful dogs. Thank you for extra little touches especially the cake.

-
"The Garden Cottage very comfortable, clean and well equipted."
Penny and Mike were very nice and helpful. An excellent base to tour the area. This was our first visit but we will definately be returning.
-
"We very much enjoyed our stay."
The standard of everything in the property and the cleanliness was excellent. The cottage is even nicer and more spacious than the pictures portray on line. We would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking for a delightful property that does not allow dogs.
-
"Beautiful property and perfect location to discover the Cotswolds."
Very well furnished and super shower room. Owners on hand but not obtrusive and cottage had everything you needed for a fantastic stay
-
"Very nice property."
All amenities as stated. Comfy bed and great bathroom. We visited over the Christmas period and did not go out much as the weather was not that good, considering a return come Summer. Upton on Seven is very quaint, like going back in time. Tewksbury has lot to offer shopping wise. For emergency milk, odds and sorts, a local Spar is less than 5mins away in Upton. Owners were very pleasant and stay out of the way, with two lovely friendly dogs, who do not make a noise at all, and who would, no doubt, give you a nasty lick, lol. Could do with a Television in the Bedroom but this is my preference, not everyone would share it. My wife is disabled and would have liked that. Ideal for a couple with a disabled spouse as this is the reason we chose this property. All rooms are at one level and compact. If we book again I will bring my portable. Property is very near to a main road, I must say we never heard any road noise at all. Highly recommended.
-
"I liked my stay in Garden Cottage."
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were very good. Modern, bed comfortable, good shower, Wifi, Smart TV, comfortable furniture and reasonable central for visiting all the tourist places. I would come again if I am in the area. Also the low season price was very favourable. Thank you Penny & Mike
-
"Excellent, well-equipped property with more than adequate seating for two, spacious rooms and equally spacious shower room."
This is the first Sykes cottage we have booked and the first of four holiday rentals this year where the windows were sparkling on arrival and even cleaned whilst we were there! It was a really comfortable, safe and secure property with its own parking behind a secure fence in a rural setting. Easily one of the best properties we have rented, and we have been doing this for many, many decades! A big thank you to the owners!
-
"Excellent cottage,everything you need."
Spotlessly clean ,nice comfy bed. Situated just outside Upton on Severn ideal for touring the Wye valley or Cotswolds
-
"Everytthing was as per the brochure, immaculately presented credit to the owners."

Located centrally to all surrounding places to visit. The welcome pack of wine,milk and cake was a nice touch from friendly owners. Thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"Well appointed, comfortable and clean accommodation."
Great base for exploring the area. Very good dining pub within 5 minutes walk serving Nepalese food and a good selection of beers. Nearest town is Uptown which has a good variety of shops and eating places. The accommodation is quiet inside but there is quite a lot of road noise if you are wanting to sit outside. Owners very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.
-

Good location for visiting surrounding area. Welcome pack greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend.

-
"Beautifully appointed and maintained property."
Very clean and well equipped. Bottle of wine and cake a lovely added personal touch. The owners were very friendly without being intrusive. The only downside was the close proximity to a major road.
-
"Enjoyed our short break here."
-
"A superbly equipped, comfortable cottage, with friendly, but not intrusive owners."
Ideally suited for exploring the 'Three Counties'. Strongly recommended.
-
"Very impressed by this 'as new build' property where brand new furnishings make it the perfect home from home."
Just a little surprised that in a property for 2 adults a washing machine was installed rather than a dish washer which we certainly find more useful. Lovely decor and whilst very close to A38 is sufficently insulated for noise not to be heard. Very central for our trips out to Pershore (highly recommend Kens butchers shop), Ledbury, Teewkesbury and Evesham as well as local NT properties. Owners on site were very friendly and helpful leaving cake, wine and milk for our arrival. certainly high on our list for a return visit.
-
"Very nice property and nice to have fresh milk and tea and coffee, added bonus home made cake and bottle of wine"
-
"Lovely place to stay & very easy to get to various places."
The cottage has everything you need & more. The Bluebell Inn, just five minutes down the road by foot, is a great place to go & eat. Dilishious Nepalese. The hosts leave you alone but you know you can contact them anytime.
-
"We had a wonderful stay, cannot fault the cottage, but wrong location for us."
Had a good couple of days. Thank you
-

"We had a great week in the Garden Cottage which was comfortable and had everything we needed."
A good location for walking the Malvern Hills and the surrounding area.
-
"Garden cottage was a great place to stay."
Felt very much like home from home. Penny and Mike have put a lot of thought into the cottage and it’s furnishings. Everything you need is there. Location wise good spot, five mins walk from local pub which serves great Nepalese food. Another pub/restaurant approx 15 min walk away. Upton upon Severn a 20 min walk. Good base for country walks and cycling. Great location for a number of day trips too.
-
"The cottage was light, spacious, airy and very comfortable."
The decor was relaxing and tasteful. The location was good for visiting the many NT houses in the area, also 'Elgar Country' and the Malvern Hills. There were comfortable chairs for use in the garden. The noise from a nearby road was apparent but did not affect our enjoyment. This was one of the best cottages we have rented.
-
"The cottage is first class very comfortable and furnished to a high standard it is a credit to Mike and Penny the owners who are lovely people and always on hand if needed for any advice on eating out local walks or just general information on the area."
On arrival there were chocolate brownies fresh milk a selection of teas & coffees and a bottle of wine to welcome us a very nice touch. we would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay in this area. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.
-
"We had a great week at the Garden Cottage."
The cottage had everything you would need and the hosts were lovely! A nice welcome pack welcomed us when we arrived which included a pack of chocolate brownies that went well with the bean to cup coffee maker. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

About the location
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'. Just 6 miles away is the beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern, and the dramatic Malvern Hills. 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. The Great Malvern Food Festival in June is well worth a visit, as are the many events at the Three Counties Show Ground and the Malvern Theatre, which welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. 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. A little further afield is the Royal Forest of Dean, the historic waterfront city of Gloucester, the spa town of Cheltenham, and the unspoilt towns and villages of the Cotswolds.
