“Wisteria Cottage was in a fabulous quiet location and looked as good in real life as in the photos.”

We loved our stay there. Cottage was very clean and garden well kept. Second sitting room much appreciated. Great to have a bathroom per bedroom, but would have been slightly more convenient if the ensuite had a door. With the lovely weather, it would have been nice to sit outside, but table was still wrapped in its winter cover, and we couldn't see any chairs. Otherwise we found everything we needed. Thank you!

“What a fabulous cottage!”

We have stayed in several holiday let's over the years but Wisteria is probably one of the nicest, if not the nicest ! The location is stunning and from the moment we came up the drive we were not disappointed. The kitchen and bathrooms (all 4 !) were spotless. And despite the removal of any trinkets due to Covid the whole cottage still has a lovely cosy feel. We also really appreciated the detailed (and accurate) information from the Owner about local amenities which helped us plan our stay. Our favourite part of the holiday has been to park the car for the week with paths to the hills, woodland, 2 smashing pubs, a shop and a fabulous cafe from the doorstep. Then to return home and sit on the bench with a glass of wine listening to the wildlife in the trees around us. A beautiful cottage and area, and an owner who is more than happy to answer any queries quickly and with courtesy. We are already planning a return visit!

“The cottage is lovely with generally high quality fittings and the equipment you need.”

It's in a great location, with beautiful scenery and walks from your front door and lots of places to visit. Fantastic views from walking up Black Hill (20 mins walk from the cottage to the top) and Herefordshire Beacon and lovely visits to Eastnor Castle, Croome and Hereford. There was one small issue and, despite it being late on a Friday evening, the owners drove over almost straight away to sort it out, which was really appreciated. Small niggles: the kitchen tap is pretty unstable, the overmirror lights in big ensuite randomly went off, the lounge lights are rather dim (but randomly get brighter sometimes after an hour or more). A shelf in the small ensuite would be useful. The property listing should though say that no door between bedroom and ensuite and that it's not suitable for eg a sportscar - we scraped our car on the ground at the bottom of the drive several times in our ordinary family car despite going at 2mph after the first time.

“Lovely property, inside and out.”

The location is excellent with lots of superb walks nearby as well as the Evendine spring! Would recommend a visit to the nearby Ledbury - it has lots of small independent shops. Would definitely love to stay in The Malverns again, and in Wisteria Cottage!

“A lovely property in a very nice location.”

Absolutely perfect for us as a foursome. Property was spotlessly clean on arrival. Only improvement we would suggest is that there were only 2 dishwasher tablets provided for a small dishwasher for a week, no replacement blue bin liners (or any replacement bin liners) nor any placemats to protect the lovely wood table. Small niggles but would improve the experience overall. However, this is a brilliant place to stay in a beautiful location and we would highly recommend it to others.

“Excellent accommodation in all respects.”

Would highly recommend it. Thankyou.

“The property was ideally located to the Malvern hills, you could walk directly from the house.”

The property was comfortable and well heated with a high standard of fittings.

“Great cottage that had everything.”

Photos do not do it justice! Thank you

“Great cottage that has been well equipped.”

Having the spring water on tap was a delight.

“Lovely cottage warm and cosy for autumn break.”

Perfect location for walking on the Malvern Hills without using the car. Easy access to hill walks just behind the cottage. Peaceful location yet several excellent Pubs and restaurants close by.

- Alison, November 2021
Marion November 2021

“The cottage was absolutely lovely and very warm and comfortable and very clean.”

The little welcome pack of chocolate, tea, coffee and sugar was most welcome. Some more clarification in the description would have been helpful - no door on the en suite to the main bedroom was a bit of a surprise! However, we really enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to walks and Ledbury was a great place to shop!

“There was one Issue with water access at the property - no running water for around an hour which unfortunately coincided with when our group was getting ready for a wedding.”

Host was incredibly helpful, however, and was quick and efficient in rectifying the issue. Everything else about the stay was perfect - the property is spectacular in a beautiful setting. We loved the homely feel and felt right at home in the cottage. I’d definitely recommend as I really do believe that the issue with the water was a one off and unfortunate incident. Don’t hesitate to book!

Andrea October 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Malvern and particularly at Wisteria Cottage, which is an attractive and comfortable property.”

It's great to have three bathrooms which is perfect for three couples. The kitchen is well equipped, the cottage is warm and the woodburner is a treat. The owner is responsive to queries and feedback; it felt like we were really welcome. This was our second visit and we will definitely return as this is a great place for a holiday.

“The setting was good as was the house.”

Communication was good throughout and all the facilities were on hand as promised. The family enjoyed their stay so thank you. We would return again. To improve further, look at the smallest of details such as the tap fitting was loose in the kitchen. The gas lighter to light the wood fire was empty and there were no matches in the house. The main bedroom TV remote battery had failed and no way of operating the TV manually. We decided to purchase logs and had to get kindling, although it would be nice to have this included in the price without the requirement to leave money for log use. As a suggestion, in other places we stayed in, a bottle of wine was gifted for the guests. A small gesture and not essential but a warm and welcoming one and adds to the experience.

John August 2021

“This is the third time I have stayed at Wisteria Cottage, it has always been a lovely experience.”

The location is perfect for walking, you can walk from the cottage straight onto the Malvern Hills. It is a restful, peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

- John, August 2021
Deborah August 2021

“Beautiful old cottage in peaceful location.”

The cottage is full of character and well maintained by the owners. We enjoyed sitting in the garden, watching the birds feeding. Also loved the Malvern spring water on tap. Thanks for a great week.

“Excellent holiday!”

Beautiful and quiet cottage, away from the rest of the world. Was lovely to be able to just walk out the gate and climb the hills. Close enough to places for wonderful days out, but when we got back in the evening we got to be in our own little world again. Contacted the owners Eva and Steven, about something little and they were absolutely amazing and nothing was an issue. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

“The cottage was very clean, well equipped and well presented although the double room could maybe do with a little attention.”

Beautiful area with walks from the door.

- Eileen, June 2021
Rachel April 2021

“We had a fantastic time at Wisteria Cottage.”

It was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. It is very well appointed (particularly the kitchen) so we had everything we needed. Surrounded by countryside, we found it a very peaceful and relaxing stay. There are some walks from right out the door and we also enjoyed exploring some of the other walking in the area which was only a short drive away (such as along the river Wye near Goodrich and in the Forest of Dean).

- Rachel, April 2021
Andrea October 2020

“Our holiday at Wisteria Cottage was a great success as the owners had provided everything that we felt we needed.”

The house is well presented, warm, extremely clean and considerately equipped. The beds are comfortable and we really appreciated the two en-suites and one family bathroom - very useful in the mornings and evenings! We enjoyed being able to cook the food we bought locally in the practical kitchen and we loved the comfort of the wood burning stove. It was a huge bonus that there are so many good walks straight from the back door. Due to the Covid situation, we only cautiously explored the local area but fully intend to return to investigate further. We highly recommend a stay at Wisteria Cottage.

“A very well equipped cottage and in a quiet and interesting location.”

Coming at this time of year, the outside was often in shade which curtailed eating outside even on good days. However, the inside area had plenty of room and a bathroom to each bedroom is a bonus. We had a lovely restful week away from our ‘cabin fever’ and felt very safe.

- Barbara, September 2020
Robert September 2020

“Ideally located for walking the Malvern hills without needing the car.”

Close to other attractions such as NT Croome, Great Malvern & Upton on Severn, etc. Added bonuses include spring water on tap, quiet location for good night's sleep and easy access to watch sunrise / sunset.

Fantastic cottage in a great location, a real home from home, would definitely recommend Lovely goodies on arrival and useful information regarding local restaurants, shops and walks Beds very comfortable, nicely furnished and well equipped kitchen We will return in the future

Allan August 2020

“We had a lovely week at Wisteria Cottage.”

It easily accommodated three adults and two teenagers with plenty of space to "do our thing" and yet room for shared meals and board games. Wisteria Cottage is ideally suited for walking in the Malvern Hills with a number of walks beginning from the side gate! In these Covid-19 days, we were delighted to find the cottage spotlessly clean and the kitchen had everything we wanted for self-catering. There are a number of NT properties within a 30 minute drive as well as Worcester and Hereford not too distant. We enjoyed seeing the Hereford copy of the Mappa Mundi. In short, we all enjoyed our stay and would very happily return to Wisteria Cottage.

“Despite the covid situation the owners put a lot of effort into making us feel safe in their property.”

They contacted us prior to arrival with lots of information and replied promptly when I messaged to ask a couple of questions. Would definitely recommend a stay there.

“Cottage is ideally situated with countryside on doorstep and pub nearby.”

Very peaceful and near to a Malvern spring outlet where you can fill water bottles free at the top of the lane.

- Terry, November 2019
Michael November 2019

“Tranquil setting yet just a few miles from Great Malvern.”

Worcester was just a short drive further on. If you fancy getting away from drivent, you could catch the train from Colwall - just a couple of miles away - to Great Malvern, Worcester or even Hereford. However, most of your food needs can be ne at the local food store in Colwall. Turning to the property, having a decent driveway added a touch of luxury. This feeling was carried into the property with tasty chocolate (Lindt) and osh biscuits provided. The property was clean and there was plenty of space to spread out. There was also the usual faclities of a utility room, washing machine, numerous loos, multiple tellys etc. I loved feeling carpet underfoot, rather than the standard hardwood flooring. The owner was very helpful and was only a telephone call away. Yes, I would recommend Wisteria.

Lynda October 2019

“We had stayed in the cottage before now under new ownership- generally happy but would have appreciated more instructions re heating - we followed simple instruction given but this didn't help much as this only turned on heating for a short time - it was never on in the morning - we were lucky it wasn't really cold.”

Couldn't find any spare bin bags - only little issues but they make a difference

- Lynda, October 2019

I'm very sorry to hear that you found the heating system difficult to set. If we get the opportunity to welcome you back please just give me a ring and I can pop over and show how the nest works or Iâ€™ll set the heating exactly how you would like it from my phone. We normally do leave a couple spare bin bags out and I am sorry if our cleaners forgot that week. Property Owner

“Excellent location for discovering the surrounding countryside by car and for walkers.”

- Margaret J, September 2019
Adriana September 2019

“Wisteria cottage was everything we hoped for, spotlessly clean, very well equipped and in a perfect location for visiting many villages and attractions.”

Best of all were the stunning walks which set off from the back of the cottage, an exhilarating climb led to all of creation spread out with views for dozens of miles. An evening drink in the cottage garden with birds all around was delightful, and the rushing of the wind through the trees soothed us to sleep in the comfy beds.

- Adriana, September 2019
Richard May 2019

“We had a fantastic break in this beatiful cottage; we had family over from Canada and we all loved the location, comfort and cleanliness of the cottage.”

The owners were lovely and when we had a little blip with the hot water, they ensured it was sorted out ASAP and were kind enough to leave us a nice bottle of wine too. Lovely part of the country and we will definitely be back - thank you xx

- Richard, May 2019
Joy May 2019

“It is a beautiful house.”

Very comfortable and welcoming. Everything was spotlessly clean. The owner was very accommodating, helpful and charming re a couple of queries we had. Its in a beautiful setting. You can just walk out of the house on to the Malvern's. We had a great holiday. Thank you

About the location

COLWALL, HEREFORDSHIRE

Worcester 11.9 miles; Hereford 18.9 miles

The large village of Colwall nestles within the westerly folds of the Malvern Hills AONB, bordering Worcestershire and split into three areas known as Colwall Stone, Colwall Green and Upper Colwall. One of the main features of this delightful village is the view of British Camp, which is an Iron Age hill fort positioned at the top of Herefordshire Beacon, a protected, ancient monument maintained by the Malvern Hills Conservators. Colwall Stone boasts a series of local shops, a specialist garden centre and village hall, while all three areas of the village are littered with public houses for you to enjoy a refreshing pint after a long walk over the hills. The many other outdoor activities available nearby include cycling, horse riding and fishing, not to mention hang gliding and paragliding for those seeking a thrill, as well as rock climbing locations in the area. The spa town of Malvern is nearby and offers a charming shopping location with its beautiful, hillside setting and a lovely mix of food, fashion and furniture stores. There are also a selection of pubs and eateries to choose from and a number of National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards within easy reach. Malvern Theatres has an extensive programme throughout the year with productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company, including musicals and dance, to world-renowned musicians and orchestra. Worcester and Hereford are within easy driving distance with many more attractions to enjoy, as are Tewkesbury and the Wye Valley, offering something for everyone.
