  Yew Tree Cottage is the loveliest place we have ever stayed and we were truly sad to leave.

  It was clean and cosy and felt like a home away from home. The owners supplied a lovely welcome pack which included milk, bread and treats for the dogs so we did not have to worry about getting supplies on the day of arrival. We took our 3 dogs and they loved the garden. We would spend hours out there playing ball and enjoying the sun and the lovely views of the hills. It was large and very secure and even though it was next to a fairly busy road at rush hour times, you still felt like you were in a quiet location. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage both upstairs and downstairs. There was a lovely porch to leave your shoes, dog collars and leads which was really handy. The kitchen was well equipped and the dishwasher and washing machine were easy to use. We did not use the jacuzzi bath but the shower was powerful and again was easy to use. The description when booking stated the WIFI was not good so before we went we downloaded movies onto our tablets/computers but we found we were able to stream movies and programs from Disney+, Netflix and SkyGo without buffering so we did not need the downloads after all. Yew Tree Cottage is in a great location with British Camp Iron Age Hill Fort and Black Hill within a couple of miles from the property. There are car parks for each walk (£6 for the day) and a nice pub to quench your thirst after the walk. The welcome brochure also mentioned a couple of "hidden gems", one of which was St Wulstans Local Nature Reserve which is a lovely walk. The owners of Yew Cottage had even mowed the grass verge at the side of the road so you could easily walk along it safely with your four legged friends. There is also The Marlbank Pub within a mile of the cottage which does wonderful Indian Food. The owners lived on site but were not intrusive at all. If we needed them they were there. We will definitely be returning to Yew Tree Cottage next year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

  We absolutely loved our stay here. We took our two small dogs with us. Owners were lovely and welcoming. It’s a beautiful conversion on their farm but it’s positioned in a way that’s still really secluded enough despite being on their land/home. Owners were kind enough to let us walk our dogs on their land through the sheep field and leading to a lovely pond (dogs of course to be kept on lead for obvious reasons!). And there’s a lovely field right next to the actual accommodation (no sheep!) to walk the dogs around too. Location was fab - close enough drive to whatever you might need yet still felt like we were totally secluded under the stars surrounded by fields! There is a fire pit outside and owners were kind enough to supply us with some wood and lovely outdoor cushioned seats, and we just grabbed some fire starters from the local petrol station down the road. Just as an fyi for those bringing dogs - there is a small stoney area by the side to let your dogs out freely for the toilet and you use a moveable metal gate to seclude them in but if you have small dogs I’d recommend making sure you still supervise as my dogs could squeeze through the railings! So although the property states enclosed garden, I wouldn’t necessarily call it fully enclosed, it’s more a small makeshift stoney area with a metal baby gate type thing as opposed to grass for them, but not a massive deal, just something worth knowing for dog owners, as an enclosed garden was the number one thing I was looking for when looking around for places due to having reactive dogs who sometimes can be picky toileting on anything that’s not grass!! Property inside was absolutely gorgeous, well looked after, cosy and warm, access to TV/Netflix etc, oven was a little slow so anticipate longer cooking times if you are planning on cooking! Owners left us tea, coffee, sugar, croissants and a bottle of wine! We are super super keen to return here very soon, we absolutely loved it. Thank you so much!

  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 have just returned from a week at Yew Tree Cottage.

  We honestly cannot recommend this property and its location enough. An absolutely lovely cottage with amazing views across the Malvern Hills. A super area with lots to visit and wonderful scenery. The Cottage: absolutely perfect in every way ... immaculately clean in every room, very comfortable and warm, fabulous jacuzzi bath, jigsaws/books/board games, and a huge selection of DVD's. Wonderful, completely enclosed garden perfect for your dog and a bowl of Bonio biscuits - sadly we had just had to have our baby put to sleep before arriving but she would have loved it and it was the perfectly secure space for dogs, and their humans to enjoy. For the humans - a welcome selection of hot drink sachets, milk, bread, butter: thank you xxx. The Owners: so welcoming and approachable, but never encroached on our stay whatsoever; just knew they were available if we had a problem, which we didn't. I would have absolutely no hesitation at booking this wonderful holiday home again - only wish was that we had booked longer lol !!

  Absolutely lovely cottage with views over countryside and the Malvern Hills.

  Excellent non intrusive hosts who have gone the extra mile to provide a lovely comfortable environment for people to rest and relax. Fantastic welcome pack, Amazing beds, superb enclosed wrap around large private garden for people and dogs. To enjoy. We honestly cannot fault this cottage, it was one of the best and we have stayed in many over the past twenty years, We took 4 dogs with us, all dogs had ample space and comfort, the cottage was nice and warm and basically is a nice upmarket home from home. Nice and secure for dogs and we didn’t have a problem opening and shutting the gate to the property in fact we found the extra layer of security most welcome. The owners do live on site in a separate gated area but they are discreet and respectful of privacy and certainly did not encroach in any way. Thank you, we will be back . Rosemary and Con x
