What our customers say about their holidays

  When we first arrived we were very kindly greeted by Peter and Paula whom were very lovey!

  The property was beautiful and very cosy! The log burner was already made up for us which was a lovely touch. However when we went to get into the hot tub it was not up to temperature so we had gone out for dinner to the Pembrooke which was more than we could have asked for! It was Delicious and beautiful!! However the hot tub has taken till 6am the next morning however from then it was lovely! However we were compensated by this and received a later check out time which was a very kind gesture. Negatives, -we did take a couple of our own towels which we are glad about as we had one big Towel and a small towel each for the duration of our stay. -no throws were provided to protect the sofas from dog hairs which i found strange as it’s a dog friendly property, luckily we packed our own throws. -in the photos the garden looked so much bigger which was great as we took our dog with us however when we arrived the garden had been sectioned off and a small section was allocated for our lodge, I believe it looked like herbs and vegetation was being grown the other side of the chicken wire however on a POSITIVE note the lovely couple who owned the property allowed me to walk my dog in their paddock the other side of their house. Overall we had a lovely stay the property ticked all our boxes and enjoyed it thoroughly! We would highly recommend this, would be perfect in the summer!

  We stayed at this property during August 2021 and must admit we were rather disappointed.

  The interior of the property was very nice, however the outside space was very small, not at all what the pictures suggested as there was wire fencing immediately behind the hot tub, rendering the outdoor space very tiny. Also the partition between the two holiday lets was poor and very impersonal! It was pointed out by our next door hosts that we could have used the owners personal gardens, however this was not fully explained to us. When we stayed here we took our well behaved dog, unfortunately we left him in the property after our arrival (as we needed to go grocery shopping as the property is self catering and we had driven 4 hours), but within 10 minutes of leaving the property I received a very curt text from the owner telling me to immediately return to the property as I had broken the terms and conditions of our holiday rental - sadly something which I have never experienced before when staying in numerous properties with a dog. Please note that owners check the hot tub daily between 11am-1pm, which I personally found extremely intrusive - and this was not mentioned on the instructions when booking. The owners also shut the gates to the parking area (immediately infront of the property) by 8pm. Sadly my experience of this property poor and not as listed, we so I left early. Sadly we did not enjoy my stay at this property at all and would not return. Very disappointing!

  An excellent cottage, albeit it was a difficult and bitter sweet stay for us.

  Very comfortable and would like to come back in warmer weather as it was quite a cold time to visit. Great garden for the dogs - big one enjoyed it off lead but my small dog needed a lead on as she finds very little gaps! Beautiful views and walks. Directions given to the property could be better because the final left turn was not noticeable from the road as it was obscured by bushes and trees. It took us ages in the dark and ice to find the place and several phone calls as the internet went down as we were trying to call for directions. Once we got through the owner was excellent and very kindly guided us in perfectly. Even a stop at the Bluebell Pub to ask directions was not successful and not all cars have the facility to key in co-ordinates. Directions from the M5 coming south would be far better to say come off at Jct 7 and either head along the B4084 and turning right onto A4104, turning left at The Poacher and bringing you in from the other side or coming along the A38 and then turning left along the A4104 and right just before The Poacher and bringing you in again from the other side. If you are coming up from the south then directions to continue up to the roundabout and turn right onto the A4104 and turning right at The Poacher would be easier than turning by The Bluebell.

  We had a week booked at Manor Farm Cottage, a barn that was converted to a 2 bedroomed cottage in the 1950s.

  The view from this place was just utterly amazing. For those that know me - I don't generally like being in the kitchen cooking... but I loved staring out the window and gawking at the ever changing scenery at this place! The rooms were lovely and spacious and the beds great for a fab nights sleep. Mattress right up our alley. The lounge was also nice. It did not have an open fire, but did come with an electric one giving the illusion of burning logs. WiFi was excellent and on the very few occasions where we lost signal, we mostly had 4G or 5G at 3+ bars on our mobiles.... a game changer from previous places we have stayed at. On arrival we were greeted with a home made poppyseed bread, some coconut biscuits and a pint of milk for the humans. In a dog bowl there was a few packets of treats for the furball. Lots of pamphlets detailing activities and interests in the surrounds and neighbouring counties. Also loved that they had a few basics at hand - oil, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, sugar, some dishwasher tablets and some washing machine pods. Whether you looking for a place to spend a few days exploring Worcestershire and Gloucestershire or the Malvern Hills, or if you there for work and want a home away from home.... we highly recommend this place!

  We stayed in Sty 2 with the hot tub.

  Lovely cabin and absolutely beautiful location! It is remote, but that's the reason we wanted to go there. (Do your research rather than moaning about something you failed to notice). The property was very clean on arrival, no complaints. The welcome hamper was a nice touch and it was good that disherwasher tablets, cloths and tea towels were left. Good sized fridge with a small freezer compartment too. The living kitchen area is a really good size and furniture could be moved around easily to make more space. The log burner was lovely and really easy to get a fire started. The only thing we really didn't like were the mattresses, both beds were uncomfortable but the room without the en suite really needs replacing ASAP. Also, the garden is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture, but this was fine because of the amount of fields and country lanes nearby to walk the dog. I didn't realise the property is a semi detached on booking, luckily we didn't hear much from next door other than a few barks from their dog. The garden could be more private for the hot tub side, if next door were in their garden they would be staring right at you, lucky for us we barely saw the other occupants. We enjoyed a well needed few days away, thanks
