  We've just enjoyed a second stay in Stubb Oak as we love it.

  It feels like a home from home, relaxing , clean and amazingly well stocked. The beds are super comfy too and the owners really have thought of everything that you might need during your stay. 2 lounges, each with a smart TV too, so plenty of space for 6 people The gardens are large, secure and well equipped with garden furniture enabling you to enjoy a drinks and food outside The bird feeders attract so many different species and watching the badgers come to feed at dusk is wonderful Parking for 4 cars on the drives too is a real bonus The location in Colwall is great as you can visit so many places either on foot, for example a 6 mile return trip to The Kettle Sings across the fields and hills and the food is lovely, as are the spectacular views from the cafe, or by car to Ledbury, Symonds Yat, Upton upon Severn, Tewkesbury and Worcester. There is a train station too with connections to Birmingham and the West Midlands. There is a small convenience store in Colwall for essentials and newspapers within walking distance There are so many walks to do in the Malvern Hills, a wonderful theatre and cinema in Great Malvern, plus plenty of eateries and a waitrose. Highly recommend Stubb Oak for a relaxing break if you love an outdoors holiday in beautiful British countryside no matter what the weather is doing

  There were a few issues with the property.

  The living area and dining area were very comfortable and we enjoyed the river views. The house was very warm. - the stairs are very steep and unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. -There is no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. -There are no toiletries whatsoever - there are no bedside tables so everything must be put on the floor -there is no dressing table -strange silver mini sofa in bedroom where there could be a dressing table. - extremely poor shower performance - soiled oven gloves - dirty stained sponge in bathroom, presumably to clean the bath? - silicone around shower is stained and tatty - used sponge for washing up in kitchen - no coffee table or side tables - chipped paint on 'silver' painted plastic mirror in bathroom - sticky stain under kitchen bin - dust around bath - mattresses are very hard It generally looked a little tatty and tired and could definitely do with some tidying up and a thorough clean. I don't like saying these things but we were disappointed. the photos on your site show a nest of tables and a fire in the living room but neither of these items exist.

  We have stopped at this property seven times now!

  Partly because we visit friends that live in Ledbury, but having found this particular cottage, it offers us absolutely everything we need and having a dog that suffers with anxiety and is also reactive to other dogs, returning to the same place is beneficial in removing some of his stress. The cottage is roomy offering us plenty of space for our family to join us and stop over with us for a few nights, along with our friends joining us for the evening for a get together and a takeaway! Plenty of parking available with the two driveways for all our cars! A great entrance room ideal for muddy paws and wet coats!! Everything is so well appointed when I come down to the cottage it really feels like coming home!! There’s so much to do out and about but if you don’t go out, you can be perfectly happy relaxing watching the birds and cheeky squirrels scurrying around in the garden. Also lovely to see the nightly visit by the badgers.

  We did not stay.

  It was very disappointing to find: 1. Upon arrival that dogs were not allowed upstairs. Our dog doesn't go upstairs at home, but on vacation it is nice to put her bed on the landing at least for the first night. I cannot find where this restriction is specified in advance. Not a show stopper but.... 2. Significant and noisy internal renovation ongoing in the adjoining property. This was ironic as our requirement to book was to vacate our house during building works that have been delayed. Other properties we have looked at in the UK warn of works on an adjacent property and some offer reductions with this being advised. We live locally, and as there was no cancellation refund available, we tried to enjoy the property and location during the day, but the noise made this impossible. Terrible!
