Lovely cottage. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy sofas and beds. Excellent views and great access to outdoor spaces. Estate manager/caretaker was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I recommend taking an electric toothbrush charger adaptor, as there are no shaving sockets in the bathrooms.

We stayed for a week at the cottage with family. The cottage was great exactly as described, very comfortable with amazing views. The kitchen was very well appointed and equipment was "all present and correct", cutlery, glasses, pots, pans, teapot, toaster, coffee maker, washing machine, tumble dryer.... the list goes on, very complete. The cottage was easy to find, just load location into Google. The track to the cottage requires care but is not an issue (first gear less than 5 miles an hour, 300 yards - relax your on holiday). We found the walk directly from the door down the track with our grandson, cows, sheep, quarry, bulldozer, tractor he was very excited, I was too! I was very impressed by the heating, an Air Source Heat Pump, worked very well, quiet and warm. We ate at the Malvern Hills Hotel (good food) having walked up to the British Camp and again having walked up to the Worcester Beacon. Worcester is a good visit too. Lots to do and see.I highly recommend this cottage and local area.
