"Had a great week at the escape."
Very convenient and comfortable and Allison was wery helpful at every stage. Only thing we missed was a microwave. Very highly recommended holiday accommodation in Great Malvern.

"A lovely self-contained flat in a beautiful character property."
The inside is updated and quaint for 1 or 2 people in a very convenient location. The attention to detail is wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. Shower is a nice rain shower, but do note the fan does take a while to turn off. The kitchen is very well stocked and all of the “treats” left are a very nice touch. My only cons are that there were hairs and coffee drops on the floor in the bedroom, and the remotes are different to the ones in the picture instructions. Hosts are quick to reply and are now aware of TV remote instructions need to be updated. I would highly recommend this property and would be happy to stay again. Please note there are a set of steep steps up to the property. No problem for myself, but could be for some.

"Nice apartment only 10 minutes walk from the town."
Very clean and comfortable. Friendly owner. Would have liked a mat in the shower tray as it could be slippy.

"I had a really lovely stay."
Room was as described, clean and comfortable, and owner was in touch to see if I needed anything more. Breakfast items were left for us, which was a nice touch, and I'd definitely be back if I visit the area again. Location was good, a short drive from lovely walks and close to the High St and numerous coffee shops and restaurants :)

"The Escape was a perfect location for us to enjoy the town of Malvern and walk the hills."
The beautifully appointed accommodation was both comfortable and spotlessly clean. Mark and Alison were excellent hosts, from communications regarding restaurant recommendations and walking routes to the thoughtful touches of muesli, croissants and milk left for our stay. Highly recommended.

"Perfect location for exploring the area and town."
Excellent accommodation, a good range of equipment, kind extras and friendly hosts. The TV was a bit of a puzzle but pretty much everything else worked well. It was nice to have a small and reasonably private garden area to enjoy the open air.
Thank you for your kind comments, Allison and i are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. You will be pleased to note that i have replaced the Sky box following your feedback. Property Owner

The Escape is a cosy and comfy property, with fantastic facilities and a very friendly owner. We had a great time here

"It was a wonderful place to stay."
Comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and a spacious shower room. All furniture and fittings were of a very high standard and the hosts Mark & Allison were very friendly and welcoming. They are proud of their apartment and rightly so. Would highly recommend The Escape as a place to relax and unwind. Close enough to the local shops, cafes/coffee shops and the walks around the Malvern Hills & British Camp (Iron Age Fort) It is a short walk to a pleasant, friendly pub ( The Nag's Head ), where we had a drink and lunch..
Thank you for summarising so well all that is good about the area and also The Escape ! Property Owner

"Would thoroughly recommend a stay at The Escape in Malvern."
The hosts Alison and Mark were thoughtful and helpful and the property has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It was very clean and so very comfy. A great location if you don't want to have to keep driving. We parked up on the first night and did not use the car again until we left. Lots of nice places to eat and drink, and great access to walking in the hills. The outside space was nice too especially for a sundowner after a walk. Book this property, you won't be disappointed!
-
"Exactly what its name says 'the escape', a great base to explore both the local area and further afield, really well located."
A beautiful apartment which felt like a home away from home. Friendly and helpful hosts we could not have asked for more, would definitely recommend.
-
"The Escape is a charming, ground floor apartment in a beautiful period house."
The bathroom and kitchen are very well equipped. The whole apartment was scrupulously clean and decorated to a high standard. The Malvern Hills area is beautiful with lots of walks available from the property and is an ideal base to explore the wider area. The owners were very friendly and helpful and provided lots of information of things to do.
-
"The Escape is a lovely bolt hole, in a fantastic location a short walk from the centre of Malvern."
It combines the best of both worlds, being in a stately period building yet having a fresh, contemporary feel and decor. Allison was extremely friendly and helpful, going the extra mile, and allowed me to sit out on her sunny terrace at the front of the house when I wanted to read and enjoy the good weather. All in all, a great stay in a very stylish and convenient apartment. Recommended!
