  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

  Just a few suggestions to improve things; A proper chest of drawers is badly needed in the master bedroom. We were alone so put our cases on the spare bed and lived out of them. If we’d had company this would have been an issue. The utility room was very cluttered and we struggled to get out of the back door without high chairs, mop buckets, mops and ironing board falling over! The heating was a challenge. All we wanted to do was turn it off! We don’t feel the cold, especially at night, and had a constant battle with the hive which kept reverting to previous settings. The only way to turn it off properly is to turn the radiators down on the boiler and several notices say not to touch this. The large plates in the rack are too tall for the dishwasher and stop the rotary arm turning. Hence previous feedback re dirty dishes in cupboard. Hilarious arrangement with the sink tap being screwed to a block of wood! Bit of a bodge up there! So, minor niggles aside, the cottage was lovely. Bed comfy, despite comments re dogs escaping the garden, it was perfect for our Jack Russell and unless you own a gazelle, it’s not escaping! We had everything we needed, including great WiFi and Broadway is so lovely we managed to arrange a further 2 nights at the last minute, the evening before and out of working hours. Big thanks for this to the very lovely housekeeper who agreed to come and clean on a Sunday and who also left the house beautifully clean for our arrival, plus texted us to let us know it was ready earlier than expected on arrival day. Big thanks also to Millie at Manor Cottages for dealing with our request so late in the evening, at about 8.30pm the night before we were due to leave. Would we stay there again? Yes we would; it was a wonderful holiday. A great base for the area.

  The property was lovely.

  It has been refurbished top to bottom with a lot of attention to maintaining its historical charm and features. The furnishings are lovely throughout and the cottage has a cosy feel, but is quite spacey with a large lounge and dining room, plus the games room outside. A thoughtful welcome basket included a loaf, sausages, eggs, bacon, honey and a few other bits which was most welcome. An issue with two radiators was fixed very quickly - the estate team was very responsive. Some nice walks from the house including a 2+ hour loop to Callow End (The Old Bush pub and cafe Shop at The Top). Try to walk at least part of the Malvern Hills (it’s possible in one go if you have two cars and 5+ hours spare) - the views are stunning and the clouds come and go quickly if it is overcast. No negatives at all but feedback for the estate owners: a hose section is a must for dog and bike cleaning and being picky the dart board in the games room really needs a spot light because the lights are very ambient in the GR and it’s very hard to see. Overall we highly recommend the property.

  We originally chose this cottage as a 4 bedroom, we are 4 ladies of a certain age who holiday together every year.

  The new owner has changed it to 3 bedroom which really is right, all 3 bedrooms are a good size and very comfortable. It did mean 2 of us had to share, we were informed of the change too last minute to make alternative arrangements. The cottage is certainly now stylish, kitchen could do with a rethink. Sink and drainer are awkward, we couldn't reach some of the crockery and there were only 2 serving dishes. TVs are challenging if you are not really familiar with smart tvs, scant instructions. We ended up not bothering. Pointless having an enormous tv if you cant watch it. The downstairs bedroom would be better off with a shower room than a slipper bath, the bedroom is certainly large enough to accommodate. The room is cold too. More detail on the parking area would have been appreciated as when we arrived we were trying to open the wrong gate! It is also very tight to get into. Having said all this, we loved the cottage and would go back again! So central for Broadway and the area. Owner was very responsive when we had queries. It was a lovely week.

  The cottage location was the main draw for us and didn’t disappoint!

  The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable and laid out well for a family - enough room for people to have their space or be together. The mattress in the four poster room is one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on! You can tell the owner is making her way through to re-decorate room by room as some were lovely and others still need a bit of a touch up - in the four poster room there was a yellow stain on the carpet for example that I can only assume was a previous dog tenant! The owner was on hand and helpful and the kitchen well equipped. The only slight issue for us was the cleanliness. The hob needed a clean before we were happy to use it, there were dead bugs on the windowsill in the bedroom, a sticky patch on the floor in the front room where something must have been spilled previously and not wiped up, and sadly our dog became quite itchy during our stay and developed a skin irritation which when we took him to the vets said it was dust mites. Aside from this, it’s a lovely cottage with great potential in a beautiful location.

  We had a really enjoyable 'home' there from 21st to 29th Nov thank you so much.

  Extremely cosy and happy to move in anytime you'd like to sell up!. Very grateful our furry companions could be with us too, thats another reason we love Broadway. No complaints atall but just a few additions that would have assisted our dogs and us during our stay would be a Shower Hose attachment to the outside tap (at the front of the property would be marvellous). We had a really wet muddy week but fortunately dogs small enough to pick up and carry through cottage to the back utility & garden to bucket wash down. Extra coat hooks in hallway and on backs of bedroom doors would also be an added bonus. Parking for 2 cars a real bonus with one small enough to get in garage. A note in Visitors book about Blue Bins collection day and seperate recycling at lower carpark would help instead of it all going in Trade Bin. We got it sorted. A fantastic time overall and thanks to Jo your Housekeeper & team for being so helpful. Hope we meet the tick box for being welcomed back! Thank you very much.
