We recently returned from a wonderful four days at the Estate. Summer Barn is beautifully furnished and so cosy and comfortable. The provision of good quality bed linen, towels and also pool towels was great. Lovely toiletries. Having the hamper with all the kitchen essentials is a great touch, as was the wood and kindling for the fireplace. The pool is fantastic and was such a bonus for the children during our stay. We had never been to the Malvern Hills and fell in love with the views from Summer Barn as well as the stunning walks that are right on the doorstep. Big thanks to Sarah for her welcome and speedy response to any queries/needs. All in all, we had a magical relaxing stay and I have no doubt that we will return.

We have just returned from a long weekend staying in Summer Barn with 4 couples, 1 baby and a dog. What a fantastic place - we would highly recommend!! The rooms were spacious, the living area was more than big enough for us all with a fantastic wood fire for the cold evenings. Treatments were easily organised out in the teepee (with fire) and were very relaxing and lovely walks were possible straight from the door. The swimming pool was like being at a luxury spa and we spent the whole drive home saying how good it was and that we will be returning! We arrived home and realised we had left an item of jewellery, one phone call later and it was popped in the post and returned - very grateful. Overall, fantastic hosts, venue and location for a really special weekend.

We booked this with friends and between us, we have four teenagers. We stayed in the Summer Barn. There was plenty of room for us all. We were not disappointed with our choice. In fact, we couldn't have chosen better. What a fantastic conversion, with beautiful interior design and attention to detail. The setting is tranquil, with stunning views. There was lots to do locally, although a car is essential. The owner was full of useful advice about the local area. The hamper we received as part of our stay was the icing on the cake and such a lovely touch. As were the bathrobes for our use during our stay. We made good use of the log burner too. This has to be the best holiday place we have rented and one I would happily return to again and again.
