This is a wonderful well maintained picturesque cottage in the foothills of the Malvern's, and we had a delightful stay for 3 nights.The facilities are excellent, and the AGA stove and log burning fire were a treat.There are many great walking opportunities nearby, and we had a visit on the first day to ensure that we had everything we needed - we would certainly recommend a stay in this cottage.

Beautiful peaceful location. Plenty of comfort and room for our group of 8. We came together for a family 80th birthday celebration in Malvern. Parkers was absolutely ideal for our 2 night stay. Lovely walks and a little babbling brook flowing gently through the front garden. Our 8 year old grandson was perfectly safe having fun playing by it.
