  • "Prospect Cottage is a delight - comfortable, extremely well-equipped kitchen and a luxurious bathroom."

    It is ideally ideally positioned for exploring the Malvern Hills and surrounding area. This was our fourth visit and I'm just about to book it up again for next year!

  • "A fantastic cottage in an ideal location with stunning view."

    The best cottage we have ever rented, so good that we have already booked for next year. Everything has been thought of and covered.

  • "Our second stay in this lovely cottage - and it won't be our last."

    So welcoming, beautifully presented and well provisioned. You don't want for anything. The gardens, and the surrounding area are there to enjoy, as are the local towns, villages and amenities. Thank you again, Geoff and Glynn for being so generous to share it.

  • "Lovely cottage that has all the comfort you need."

    Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome pack and information shared prior to our stay. We have two dogs and loved the local nature reserve for off lead walks. Plenty of other walks nearby which we tried. The Oak Inn at Staplow is great for food and dog friendly. Only minor addition would be access to a small vacuum to keep up the high standards.

  • "Really a top class cottage, well equipped, comfortable, welcoming and beautifully curated."

    A real pleasure to stay there.The kitchen is a cooks dream - even has a garlic press and olive-stoner! And there are fresh herbs just outside the door. There are walks from the door, and a nature reserve (dog friendly) not far away. Gt Malvern, Ledbury and Worcester worth a visit too. Thank you to Glynn and Geoff for the hospitality, and being willing to share it.

    Had a fabulous relaxed break with our 2 dogs. We were cosy and comfortable. The decoration and little touches were gorgeous. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. And then the garden!! A lovely sunny spot and beautifully planted and maintained. We were lucky it was spring so each day new flowers and bulbs were emerging. We would highly recommend!! Thanks

  • "Absolutely stunning cottage in a fabulous location."

    Spotlessly clean and one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in. The owners had literally thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable- lots of nice touches such as fresh flowers, handmade soap and a fabulous welcome hamper . The only “better ifs” are minor - we would have liked access to a vacuum as we were there for a week and also a guest guide with instructions and hints and tips would be helpful, however the owner did call in advance and gave us lots of helpful recommendations . We would highly recommend and would definitely return, we were there in November and the weather was kind but in warmer weather it would be lovely to sit in the garden with a glass of wine and a bbq

  • "One of the best appointed holiday lets we have ever stayed in, not only was the property perfect for our needs, well equipped and presented but the location was too!"

    From the welcome pack on arrival (which Geoff personally made the extra effort to alter as we are both non-drinkers) to the supremely well kitted-out kitchen, bathrooms and without doubt THE most comfortable bed either of us has ever slept in! Outside is a lovely little courtyard for sunny morning breakfasts and down the garden a decking area for evening relaxing watching the colourful paragliders lazily passing overhead. Stunning view across to the Cotswolds in the distance make for some great photo opportunities too. The location was ideal for exploring the Malvern's and surrounding areas and only a mile from the Three Counties Show Ground should you time your stay for one of the many events that go on over the year. Based at the foot of the Malvern Hills themselves it is ideally situated for keen walkers, dog owners and mountain bikers, just a five minute walk up the road and you're on the trails up the hills for what are some of the best views anywhere. We have had the best two weeks hear and could have stayed longer, no hesitation in recommending Geoff & Glynn's lovely cottage to anyone!

    We had a wonderful week staying in Glynn and Geoff's beautiful cottage. They have thought of everything needed and it was beautifully presented and decorated, with a pretty garden, but also really dog friendly. Such a great location with walking onto the Malverns from the door and lots to do in the local area. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this really was among the best. Thank you for a great week.

    G. sinks, showers, cooker, etc. The only thing that fooled us for a day was the "games under the table" note! But we did find them eventually!!. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable - so, too, the upstairs bathroom. A more prominent note giving wifi details would have helped but this was not really a problem. Would have spent more time in the garden if the weather had been better behaved!! All in all we couldn't fault it, so thank you Glyn and Geoff.

  • "Gorgeous cottage, beautiful throughout."

    Lovely fixtures and fittings. Unfortunately central heating boiler broke down and took 2 days to repair, therefore no heating or hot water, not recommended during an extremely wet and cold November. Apparently we found out this was an ongoing problem and had not been corrected prior to rental. Also check the garden, as this was definitely not dog-proof. Holiday terminated early due to these problems.

  • "I can honestly say that we have never stayed at a better self-catering cottage."

    The owners must work in the hospitality industry, because even the smallest detail was taken into consideration, from the selection of local beers and wines in the larder, to the hamper of eggs, milk and other sundries on arrival, to the perfectly pressed white bed linen and towels, to the individually rolled squares of newspaper to assist with lighting the stove. The decoration and standard of fittings are faultless. It is a warm, supremely comfortable cottage with tall views of the sunrise from the bedroom, and the Malvern hills just a few steps away from the door. We could not have asked for more. Thank you Glynn and Geoffrey!

The sunrises from the east facing bedroom and dining room were spectacular. We would happily return to this area, the Malvern hills are a short walk from the door.
