“Cosy and comfortable cottage.”

Great location, with walks directly from the cottage which was great for the dogs. Beautiful enclosed garden too. The cottage was very well equipped and was a great base to explore the area.

“Ivy cottage was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and we’ve been using Sykes cottages for many years now.”

Ivy cottage had everything we needed and more and the cake and milk left for us on our arrival was a lovely gesture. The cottage had a lovely big secure garden for our dog and lots of lovely places to visit just a short drive away. I would highly recommend Ivy cottage .

- Deborah, October 2023

Thank you, Deborah for such a positive review. Property Owner
Jean September 2023

“We have never been to such a dog friendly cottage - large secure lawn, everything a dog might need provided and information given on dog friendly places to walk on and off the lead together with a list dog friendly pubs which was a great help.”

The cottage had been lovingly renovated and had everything we needed including a comfy super king bed. Very helpful and friendly owner and we hope to visit again

- Jean, September 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Great to hear you and your dog enjoyed the cottage! Property Owner
Robert September 2023

“Fabulous week away at a fabulous Cottage, beautifully presented with a great deal of care and taste to retain the cottage feel but still with a modern twist, fully equipped with everything you need from all the kitchen equipment, comfy sofa, lovely TV and fabulously comfortable large bed!”

Rachele is a wonderful host and so accommodating and left not only easy to understand instructions for Wi-Fi, bins etc but cakes and milk and treats for the dogs. The garden is enclosed and provided a safe environment for our two Cockers who loved it…you even have your own private parking space behind gates. Having had cottage holidays since 2017 and stayed in something like 20 different ones around the country this one is certainly one of the very best not only for the presentation but also the locality to the Malverns, Worcester, Ross on Wye, Monmouth & Abergavenny. Thank you Rachele for a lovely week! Robert, Freda, Bella & Betsy

- Robert, September 2023

Thank you so much for the fabulous feedback. It was lovely to meet you. Thank you for being just perfect guests! Property Owner

“What a beautiful cottage this is, we felt at home immediately.”

Carolyn May 2023

“Such a lovely cottage with great character.”

Spotlessly clean and beautifully presented with attention to detail. Rachele left a delicious cake, tea and coffee for us. Great good sized secure garden for us to enjoy the lovely view of the Malverns with our dogs. We enjoyed the walks from the door, walked up several of the Malvern hills (from which we were amazed by the most fantastic far reaching views), visited Ross-On-Wye and Great Malvern. Rachele provided lots of information and was prompt replying to a question we had. We really enjoyed our stay and would totally recommend this lovely cottage without hesitation.

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Carolyn. It sounds like you had a wonderful break. It was my pleasure to welcome you to Ivy Cottage. Property Owner

We arrived to a lovely warm cottage and welcome basket with so many thoughtful treats to enjoy during our stay. The cottage was renovated to a beautiful standard by the owner and you can look through some photos of the project in some albums left out. The accommodation is clean and luxurious with lots of extra decorative touches. Really really lovely. My dog loves it there and there are so many scenic walks on the doorstep.

The owners have restored it from a shell to an outstanding cottage. Beautifully restored and very comfortable. The biggest bed we have ever slept in! Fabulous bath with a view over the garden.

Beautifully decorated and with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. Very accurate listing and genuinely dog friendly. A lovely large and safe garden for our two lively dogs and treats provided for them. The welcome basket for the humans was much appreciated too! The bed was huge and very comfortable. Plenty of crockery and cutlery and every kitchen utensil you could need. Rachele has thought of everything to make this beautiful cottage a home from home…we loved it!

Jan July 2022

“We had never been to The Malverns before and thought it was in a great position to explore the area and Ivy Cottage looked the perfect place to spend a week of relaxation.”

We got it right. The listing on the web site was spot on - the cottage is but perfectly formed and had everything we needed for our chill out break. We loved the garden for bird watching, although sadly the hedgehogs didn’t come out to see us. The countryside in the area was absolutely gorgeous and the girls were happy all day long - either on the commons or in the garden playing together. The welcome basket for the humans was a real treat and the jar of biscuits for the dogs was very well received!! Thank you for a wonderful week.

- Jan, July 2022

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Jan. it’s lovely to hear you were both able to relax at the cottage and your dogs enjoyed it too. Great for me to read. Thanks again. Property Owner
Brian July 2022

“A delightful cottage with a dog friendly garden.”

Ideally situated for exploring the Malvern hills and interesting towns.Good local pubs. Convenience store one mile away. Despite the recent heat wave Ivy Cottage remained cool, but there is a very efficient heating system to use in colder weather which would make . it very cosy in the winter. Very well equipped, the owner has thought of everything!

- Brian, July 2022

Thank you, Brian. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and the local area. Property Owner
David July 2022

“Delightful, quirky cottage that has been renovated to a very high standard whilst keeping its character.”

It was interesting to see the photos of “before”when the cottage was literally a shell! Comfortable lounge and lovely bed, how nice to have a huge bed when there is plenty of room for it! Very clean, everything you could wish for. Absolutely loved the little wooden mice “hiding” in the beams! A large, secure garden was very welcome for the dogs. The owner replied very promptly to any queries we had and lives nearby if there is a problem (there wasn’t). The welcome pack and dog biscuits were most welcome, thankyou Rachele.

- David, July 2022

Thank you so much, this was lovely feedback to read. Very happy you enjoyed the cottage and it’s ‘quirks!’ Big smile from me! Property Owner

“What a gem of a cottage.”

Comfortable, cosy, clean, and very welcoming. Owned by a delightfully charming generous and most empathetic young lady who not only provided a scrumptious welcoming basket but went the extra mile to ensure everything was absolutely tickety boo for our entire stay.

Evangaline March 2022

“Absolutely Beautiful little cottage!”

!!! We didnt want to leave! - With beautiful surroundings! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , walking for miles with our two dogs, over the hills of malvern and around the beautiful countryside. We went to the some of the local pubs not far from the cottage who where all so friendly and the food was nice. Then coming back to relax in the cottage. The dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden as we enjoyed sitting in the sun. There was a thoughtful carepack when we arrived at the cottage for both us and the dogs to enjoy , adding a special little touch. The cottage was cleaned to a very high standard and so we'll equipped! 100% recommended and we will most definitely be booking again. Thanks again Rachele!

A lovely cosy cottage with all the facilities you needed - the finish is to a really high standard. Rachele the owner provided us with all the information we needed, making sure we felt comfortable and also left a welcome package, which was really thoughtful. The cottage location is great, we spent a lot of our time on the Malvern Hills, which are a 10-minute drive and found a couple of local pubs. I couldn't recommend this cottage enough, we had a lovely time.

- Adam, November 2021

Thanks for the lovely review, Adam. Much appreciated. Property Owner
Melanie November 2021

“What a lovely comfortable Cottage.”

Situated in peaceful surroundings. It was Very well equipped we didn’t want for anything. There was a welcome waiting for us and even dog biscuits and a bowl of water waiting for lily our little dog. A log burner with plenty of logs made the evenings very cosy. It also has a very good Wi-Fi signal. The king size bed was very comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. We went to Ledbury and Tewkesbury. Two nice towns which was only twenty minute drive away. Would highly recommend ivy cottage and would definitely book again. Mel.

- Melanie, November 2021

Thanks for the lovely review, Mel. So pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding area so much. Property Owner

“Ivy cottage was just the perfect place to stay for an active, but relaxing, week away from it all.”

Rachele has thought of everything & more. Superb walks literally from the doorstep…every walk has amazing views. Our dog was safe and secure in the garden which meant we could relax without having to worry about him. We have stayed in many cottages but this is way up there ranked as one of the best!

- Kaye, September 2021
Joanne August 2021

Clean, freshly decorated to a high standard. We were greeted with a welcome pack from Rachele which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend Ivy Cottage and look forward to spending time at the Cottage again.

Christopher August 2021

“Not sure if we missed it in the cottage details but it should be mentioned that there is no mobile phone signal in the cottage.”

The wifi however worked fine.

- Christopher, August 2021

Unfortunately, as the cottage is in a rural location some networks will experience little or no signal. However, most networks do offer wifi calling and this just needs to be selected in your phone settings to enable it. You will then be able to make and receive calls via wifi. The wifi at Ivy Cottage has recently been upgraded. Property Owner
Robb July 2021

Jennifer May 2021

“Ivy Cottage was charming.”

Rachelle the owner had put so much thought into the interior design and had provided every comfort, we felt at home from the moment we entered. The large secure garden was perfect for our dog too. We could cross the road onto the spacious and scenic Combe Green Common for a daily walk before heading off to explore the countryside , towns and National Trust properties slightly further afield. So much to see and do before returning to enjoy the evenings in our cosy holiday home.

- Jennifer, May 2021

Thank you for the lovely review. Property Owner
Vicki May 2021

“What a stunning cottage!”

As holiday cottage owners ourselves, we are quite picky, and our only negative comment is that there wasn't a lot of storage space for the food we took. There was a very generous welcome basket waiting for us on arrival, as well as one for the dogs. It was lovely being opposite the common for dog walks, although because of free-roaming sheep we couldn't let the dogs off the lead. But the garden to the cottage more than made up for that as it was really big and totally secure. Lovely to have the sitting-out area with comfy seats and a sun umbrella. The kitchen was really well equipped and it was good to have 2 separate seats in the living room. The king-size bed was really comfy and the hanging space very ingenious. Great to have so many hangers too. The bathroom was excellent, with a bath as well as a shower and plenty of shelf space for toiletries. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

- Vicki, May 2021

Thank you both for all of your positive comments. I took your point about space for food storage on board and have re-arranged things so there is some free cupboard space. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Kerri April 2021

“This is a beautiful Cottage in an excellent location for walking the hills or driving a few miles to the local towns.”

There is everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay and the garden is fully enclosed/fenced if you're bringing a Dog with you too. The kitchen is well laid out, plenty of space and a large Lounge. It's deceptively spacious. There is a road that runs beside the Cottage but it's a quiet 30 mph road and we didn't notice any noise from traffic. Fantastic hot shower, massive bed, handy utility room and log burner if the evenings are cold. Underfloor heating is a gem first thing in the morning. We had a great stay here and we will definitely be looking to go back.

- Kerri, April 2021

Thanks so much for all of your lovely comments and for such a thorough review. Look forward to welcoming you back at some point. Property Owner
Craig October 2020

“It was a lovely cottage.”

Having a dog, and it being so near to a main road, I'm not sure I'd book it again. Other than that the property is excellent.

- Craig, October 2020
Wendy October 2020

“This was our second visit to Malvern Hills having previously stayed at the sister cottage.”

Again Rachele has has met all expectations. The pictures are true to detail, the decor and cleanliness are of a high standard and the welcome pack along with goodies for the dogs was very much appreciated. This is an excellent location to explore Malvern with a wonderful common just over the road. We will be visiting again in the very near future.

- Wendy, October 2020
Dominic September 2020

“We loved Ivy Cottage.”

It has been so sympathetically restored, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped that we do not hesitate to recommend. Perfect for dog owners with a secure garden and the common right opposite, you can even walk to some of the Malvern Hills directly from base. Simply delightful.

- Dominic, September 2020
Sylvia September 2020

“We had a lovely holiday at Ivy cottage it was very clean and everything was there that you could possibly need.”

Rachele left us a welcome pack which was much appreciated. Thank you.

- Sylvia, September 2020
Chris August 2020

“Ivy Cottage is a small but perfectly formed cottage with everything you could need when staying.”

Although near the road you don’t hear traffic inside and I’m a light sleeper but loved it here. Rachele (the owner) has done a fantastic job renovating and equipping this cottage and left us a lovely welcome pack including milk which was brilliant. There’s nothing not to like about this cottage and with parking within the garden once the gate is shut it made it ideal for our dog to run around and explore. If you’re pondering this cottage BOOK IT-you won’t regret it-it’s a fabulous place to stay!

- Chris, August 2020
Denise August 2020

“Ivy cottage is stunning!”

Rachele has thought of every little detailed to make your stay comfortable. Th cottage it’s self is beautifully renovated. The garden is safely enclosed for your dog to run around and the views of the hills are breath taking! It is in a great location with everything you need being a short drive away. Would definitely return to Ivy Cottage!

- Denise, August 2020

Matthew December 2019

“What a beautiful little cottage.”

A perfect getaway over new year for me, my wife and two dogs. For anyone who wants to get away from the business of life or who has a dog that is petrified of fireworks this is the place for you. The only noises we heard were sheep crossing the road in the morning it was so peaceful. Would absolutely stay here again as there are so many nice places to go near to the cottage. Ledbury and Broughton on the Water were our favourites.

- Matthew, December 2019
Gary December 2019

“Best cottage I have ever stopped in.”

The owner provided everything you could possibly wish for. The welcome pack was second to none. Lovely cosy place that is excellent for walking.

- Kerry, September 2019
June September 2019

“The cottage was beautiful and we had a relaxing stay .”

The basket of goodies + dog treats were much appreciated. The area has a lot of stunning walks but if you want it's just a short journey to the beautiful town of Tewkesbury where you'll find most if not all shops are happy to let dogs go in. I will definitely be recommending I'vy cottage to friends and family.

- June, September 2019
Wendy September 2019

“Ivy cottage is a cosy, excellently presented and equipped cottage.”

I can not praise Rachele enough for her care and consideration to every little detail.

- Wendy, September 2019
Christine August 2019

“Ivy Cottage is right opposite the Malvern Hills for lovely walks and in an excellent location for visiting many different places, being members of The National Trust we had many places to visit.”

The cottage was very comfortable and had everything you would need for a relaxing holiday and would like to thank Rachele for the lovely treats on our arrival.

“This was an outstanding holiday cottage.”

It was the best one we have ever stayed in. The presentation, equipment, comfort and cleanliness were all excellent. The owner, Rachele, was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make us, and our dog, welcome. The welcome pack for both us and the dog was much appreciated. We would definitely stay at this cottage again. Its location to walk the hills and byways of the Malvern Hills was ideal. A most enjoyable experience.

“We loved our stay at Ivy Cottage, booked so we could visit the RHS Malvern Show.”

It is a beautiful little house, and Racehele made our stay lovely, with really good welcome instructions and a lovely welcome pack. The garden is lovely for sitting out and secure for the dog. There are amazing walks right from the door onto the common, which can take you right up into the Malvern Hills.We loved how homely it was and we were so sad to leave and would not hesitate to recommend this to others. We will be booking again, as there is so much to do in this part of the country. We can recommend climbing all the hills, also Upton on Severn and Worcester, Ledbury is nice for eating out also. The Bluebell in Malvern is a nice dog friendly pub. We wanted for nothing during our holiday, the cottage was perfect and had all we needed. Thank you Rachele.

“Great communication from Sykes, and Rachele.”

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped. Very large comfortable bed. Looking at the renovation photos in the cottage, the owners have done a fantastic job. Our only concerns were, there is no full length mirror, and the fridge wasn't very cold. But only minor issues that wouldn't stop us from returning. We really enjoyed staying there.

“The cottage was stunning and beautiful, however the area lacked enough to do for the 3 days trip”

- Roger, March 2018
Sarah February 2018

“Ivy Cottage is the perfect place escape to.”

It's a stunning cottage that had been beautifully and lovingly restored and has everything you could possibly need, making it a home away from home. Ivy is in a great location, not just because of the surrounding countryside but because it's close to all the amenities, however it's far enough out to enjoy the peace and quiet. A list of the local supermarkets etc are provided in the visitors guide, including the contact details for the local doctors surgery, dentist or vets if you require them. The nearest town, Ledbury, is a short drive away through the Malvern Hills, passing through Eastnor and it's castle, and the fields on the other side of the road are lovely to walk around - but watch out for the sheep! The bench at the top of the hill is a very pretty place to sit and watch the world go by, with views of Ivy Cottage and the surrounding farmland. As for the host - she was faultless. She kept us informed and up-to-date with everything. She has created a wonderful holiday cottage and made our stay unforgettable. The little touches made it even more special. My boyfriend and I felt very lucky to have been the first guests to stay at Ivy. We have made many memories there and have fallen in love with it. It was very hard to leave! But we will definitely be returning soon. We're sure you'll love Ivy Cottage as much as we do.

About the location

MALVERN

Ledbury 7 miles; Worcester 10 miles; Hereford 23 miles.

The beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern dates back to the Bronze Age and is situated on the eastern side of the dramatic Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills form a 9-mile range of ancient rock, which offers 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways with natural springs and long distance views in all directions. The town holds antiques fairs, WI country markets, farmers’ markets and many auctions throughout the year, as well as the Great Malvern Food Festival in June. Malvern has individual shops, cafes, galleries, restaurants, a luxurious spa and it’s own micro brewery. It is also just a short drive from the Three Counties Showground which hosts regular events most notably RHS Malvern (May), The Royal Three Counties Show (June) and the Malvern Autumn Show (September). The town is the home of the Morgan car which makes this area popular with motoring enthusiasts. The Malvern Theatre welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. The more energetic can try many outdoor activities including high ropes, climbing and abseiling. Fishing and river cruises are available nearby and there are National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards to visit in the area. The picturesque Forest of Dean with its range of attractions is only 30 miles away, and the cathedral city of Worcester offering modern amenities is a 20 minute drive away.
