Hillview Cottage

• "My family stayed at Hillview Cottage with my parents and brother visiting from the USA for a week in early march, to celebrate my mothers 90th birthday."

  The cottage was perfect for our occasion. We enjoyed playing games in the comfortable lounge with the wood burning stove in the evenings and we used the large well equiped kitchen for family breakfasts, cooking dinners and family time around the table. The bedrooms were very comfortable with great views and light. The comfort and quality gave the whole place a very relaxing but special feel. The sun was out for us, and the views and quiet of the garden, with the outside patio table (had our birthday cake there) and seating made the stay even more relaxing. The sun sets were stunning. My mum particularly loved the summer house. We visited Ledbury, Malvern , Pershore Abbey , Witley Court and Brockhampton NT. With loads to see all around. We cannot thank our host Nicola more for the help she gave us getting ready and during our stay. My parents were delighted with the cottage, my dad said it could not have been better, and it really made for a very memorable family occasion. With much thanks, Simon

• "Hillside cottage is a lovely property, in rural location with an outstanding view across the Teme valley."

  3 mins drive from a lovely country pub. Spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped. It's an incline, so those with poor mobility would struggle, but other than that, absolutely wonderful.

  Thankyou for your wonderful review Chris, we are glad that you all enjoyed your stay!! Property Owner

  It was of a high standard - you never know quite what to expect but this definitely lived up to my expectations. The mattresses were very comfortable and it was nice to have new carpets. Breakfast out on the terrace with the views over the valley were a bonus, especially in October. We had a very enjoyable week, exploring the area, towns and cities and some lovely walks. We really enjoyed our week and can recommend this house.

• "Great views."

  Clean. Everything you need. However, the Master and 2nd bedroom mattresses were past there use by dates. They were disappointingly very firm and uncomfortable along with noisy springs. We decided to persevere but terminated our stay 2 days early as the damage to our stay was well and truly done. We believe that Nicola has now replaced these mattresses. We went on holiday for some R&R, but came back home worse than when we left unfortunately. Also, we didn't go on holiday to sleep on seperate single beds in the smaller rooms. As was suggested. Would we go back to Hillview in the future? Definitely not. Sadly now a bad memory. And we have previously rented better for less money. With the mattresses now replaced, future occupants should sleep better thanks to our complaint.

  Thankyou for your review. We are sorry that you found the mattresses not to your liking, but as our telephone conversation, when this was brought to our attention it is very difficult to suit every guests personal choice of mattress. We addressed your issue the same day and new (medium) mattresses were ordered and delivered the very next morning. We strive to make sure that all of our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Hillview Cottage.. Property Owner

• "We had an amazing stay at Hillview cottage."

  The view from the cottage really is beautiful. The garden is stunning and provides lots of areas to sit and enjoy that view! The cottage itself is so comfy and really well equipped. Lovely welcome pack as well. Only one thing that we might suggest would suggest is slightly thicker curtains or blackout blinds (but that's a personal preference). Nicola, the owner, was so helpful. There's also so much to see and do in the local area. We can't recommend the cottage enough it's an absolute gem and we hope to be back!

  The cottage itself is beautiful with views like those on a postcard. We’d booked to stay at the cottage for our honeymoon as we wanted to find somewhere remote and picturesque and we got everything we could have wished for. We had told the owner that we were staying for our honeymoon and when we arrived there were flowers, a card, cake and some wine which was such a surprise and meant a lot to us. A big part of why this property is such a gem is the owner Nicola. She is by far the nicest owner we have met and goes that little bit further to make your stay special. The bedrooms are beautiful and the bathroom has a bath that is situated by the window so you can have a bubble bath whilst enjoying the view. We would definitely stay at this cottage again. Thanks Nicola for making us feel so welcome xxx

  Taking breakfast overlooking the Malvern hills is a memory that will linger long. The cottage was very clean and tidy and with 4 bedrooms there was more than enough space for our group of 4 - there is space for 2 cars to park but larger groups may need to discuss with the host. The cottage is part way up a very steep road so easy walks and jaunts are not really on - there is a large pub at the bottom of the hill - looked nice and served food. Nearest shops are a short drive away but Tesco delivered here so presumably all stores will likewise. Could imagine booking again in the future and enjoying the view - doubt we will be so lucky to get such a good weeks weather though

• "When you walk through the big gates at the top of the property all you can say is "WOW"."

  The stony pathway leading down to the garden & view is amazing before you even enter the stunningly beautiful house. Once inside the big fully equipped kitchen you just know & feel you have chosen right & your instincts are not wrong, from the 3 comfortable sofas in the lounge & gorgeous bedrooms all with little personal details that truly make you feel at home. Bathrooms & showers were perfect. Everything is very clean & the lush new carpets recently fitted make it feel luxurious. The only one thing to say is that the 2nd double bedroom has a small double bed, maybe too small for 2 adults but ideal for 1. To be honest we lived mainly in the great sociable kitchen & garden even though the weather was changeable we got to see the spectacular sunsets. Pure peacefulness. The communication with Nicola is excellent, knowledgeable & very welcoming. Whoever books this little gem of a property won't go wrong, we will be back for sure! John & Nicola Owen

  The owner, Nicola, left us some lovely welcome treats, including homemade banana cake, a bottle of prosecco and coffee/tea supplies. Another cake (lemon!) at the start of our second week was a nice surprise! The five of us (my parents and our family of three) were very comfortable in the cottage and found it to be a great base for exploring the area, as well as entertaining our UK family and friends. The view is exceptional and there are many walks and great country pubs within a very short distance. The butcher shop at the bottom of the hill was a great find, and we called in several times for sausages, bacon and Cornish pasties. Please notice that the cottage description (correctly) lists only a washer. There is a line with clothes pegs available, as well as an indoor drying rack and electric fan. We had only a couple of rainy days, so there wasn't too much problem getting clothes dry, but if you are planning a longer stay during a rainier season, and would like to wash clothes, it is something to be aware of. All in all though, a wonderful time in a gorgeous setting!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our break there. It was my husbands 60th and the owner left a lovely cake and some bubbly for us which we thought was a really nice touch. The view is amazing and we will definately go back, possibly for a summer visit next time so we can enjoy the outside of the cottage as much as the inside.

• "The owners of Hillview Cottage obviously take great pride in their property as they keep it immaculately clean."

  The homely touches made it feel like a home from home with a comfortable sitting room, a great big dining kitchen and delightful bedrooms with comfy beds. But the garden, the deck and the view were what we enjoyed the most. Sitting outside with the sun on your face overlooking the tree lined valley was amazing. Getting out and about was easy on nice roads and having a pub/brewery to stroll to was a treat. And the home made cake was delicious. We do hope to return soon.

  Lovely sitting outside having a meal or a quiet drink. Very spacious & if you have different age groups there are different areas to get away from each other. It is very well equipped nicely decorated clean & comfortable. We visited lots of lovely villages both in Worcestershire & Gloucestershire. Be aware however if you have mobility problems as grounds have several steps down to cottage & the garden slopes.

  We were not disappointed in the slightest. Nicola the owner has thought of absolutely everything you could ever possibly need. We were also delighted to find the little extras - fresh milk, freshly baked banana loaf and fresh flowers on the table. The cottage is very welcoming and the views are spectacular, even on the dreariest of days they don't disappoint. Then sun sets are amazing! Locally we found a lovely little pub which held a fabulous little farmers market on the Sunday. There are great hikes to. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting that little luxury when going away. The cottage is beautifully decorated, very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The free standing bath over looking spectacular views was definitely one of my highlights after a day of hiking. The kitchen is very well equipped and is in a traditional cottage style. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms were very well decorated. Which ever room you find your self siting in downstairs you'll be mesmerised by the views from the big windows and double doors which lead out on to a lovely veranda. I would not hesitate to book again and hope to return this summer for an extended stay. Thanks so much to Nicola who is a very lovely and kind host. Anything we needed to know she was more than helpful and left a welcome pack explaining everything from the Wi-Fi codes to how to work the heating to what you'll find locally. Thanks again X

• "A fantastic stay - it was a week after the snow and we saw the weather warm up and watched the ice melt away."

  ...we felt the same.....we just melted away with the cottage !! It was lovely, a beautifully presented cottage, decorated to the highest standard. We could not fault anything. The owners were very helpful, gave us hints and tips as where to visit (as we have triplet daughters who are artists). A welcoming cake and superb coffee provided, amongst other goodies.The location is great, you are just 15 mins out of Worcester - it is a really interesting city, lots of history etc but also great for those shoppers amongst us.. (teenage daughters) We also visited some National Trust properties and took a big walk in the Malverns, but we were so keen to get back to Hillview Cottage on most days and get the fire going with tea and crumpets, that we really want to come back in the spring and especially jump into the hot-tub on the decking.The beds are super-comfy - and the wildlife is just outside your window - I'm sure they want to come inside and join you. I chatted with numerous owls; pheasants; foxes and small birds at various times of the day. A very friendly neighbourhood indeed. I waited for the elusive deer that is a local resident, but I guess he/she was away on business.A great pub is close by - The Talbot at Knightwick (it's only a 7 min walk down the hill - but almost 15 min on the way up) - the menu looks great, we didn't eat there in the end, but it looked like a superb eatery and when we return, we'll definitely try it out. They have their own micro-brewery - producing some fantastic beers such as "This"; "That" and "The Other". All very good, but my favourite was the "The Pistols at Dawn". Fantastic stuff. I did ask the lady behind the bar for a try of "The Other", I did get the threat of a friendly slap - followed by the usual laughter that goes by someone who's had the same joke pulled over 1,000 times before .As you can tell, we really enjoyed Hillview Cottage - the owners have clearly put a lot of thought and planning into this beautiful corner of England - we say well done and thanks for the stay. Hope to see you again soon. Kind and best regards Richard & Karen White (The triplets - Rachel, Rebekah & Sarah)(In-laws - well never mind - Linda & Graziano)Loved it !!!!.

Nicola was incredibly helpful and her hospitality was really great. She kept in touch with us and answered any query we had.

  House was even better than photos on website , lovely and warm for end of October and beautifully furnished without giving you feeling you had to tread on eggshells. Just like a home from home ! Superb views all round even on cloudy damp days and plenty to keep you busy in the surrounding area. Good pub 10 minutes down the hill for a drink (pricy meals) which also bakes lovely fresh bread at weekend which you can buy. Other great pubs very close aswell. The 2 Live and let Lives a couple of miles apart were great. In summary would return in a flash even in Autumn but would try Summer next so could use the fantastic outside space even more.

  We stayed as a group of 6 and there was plenty of room and the large kitchen makes catering straightforward. The local pub is around half a mile away down a hill and serves good food and there are a number of other places near by for eating out. There is also plenty to do in the local area, the national trust property a few miles down the road is worth a visit and the Malverns are close by. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return.
