December 2021

“Chalk Cottage was lovely and fulfilled our expectations in every way.”

The cottage provided everything we needed and the extra personal touches like the Christmas Decorations, Welcome Pack made it special to celebrate our New Year. The beds were comfortable, bathroom facilities were very good and a well equipped kitchen had everything we needed. It was good to have the log burner in the lounge and made it warm and cosy for our New Year.

“Well Done Hannah, Amazing cottage ,home from home, very clean and presentable with lots of extras ,you went the extra mile, thank you.”

loved the Christmas tree, will visit again. Lots of thought went into this holiday and glad we stayed at Chalk Cottage. Lovely view of Malvern Hills from the cottage.

- Mr Clears, December 2021

Thank you so much for your kind words - we are delighted you enjoyed the cottage - and the Christmas tree - the decorations and Christmas messages you left for it were lovely too - I have hung them on the tree for our guests to enjoy. We are delighted you enjoyed the beautiful views, and found the cottage cosy and a home from home and may consider returning - it makes it all so worthwhile. Merry Christmas! Property Owner
Mr Paver November 2021

“Had a good stay despite the stormy weather at the start of the week.”

Overall pleased with the cottage and liked its location being able to walk out onto the Malvern Hills and on footpaths to the village without needing the car.Enjoyed visiting Worcester and various local towns . There were a few small negatives :lack of clothes hanging in bedrooms as no wardrobes,Tv was not 'smart ' and no DVD player which would have helped pass the long winter evenings ,front windows were singled glazed which wouldnt normally be a problem but it was particularly cold and stormy for part of the week .Overall we were happy enough we would return .

- Mr Paver, November 2021

** STOP PRESS ** as of 21st January 2022 - the cottage now has a Smart TV! We are so glad you liked the location of the cottage - we are so lucky to have such wonderful walks from the hills straight from the cottage! The weather was stormy indeed, and you get some wonderfully dramatic skies up here on the hills too.... we love it!! Our cosy cottage is exactly that, and so we chose not to have wardrobes in the bedrooms, but provide plenty of chests of drawers hanging space for our guests to use - we want to maximise the space in the rooms for you. The front windows of the cottage are the most beautiful and attractive little beau windows - and we are resisting changing them as they add so much character to our old cottage! The rest of the cottage has triple glazed units, so it is only the two windows that are single glazed - one of which is in the dining room - which has thick floor to ceiling curtains and a toasty warm radiator to keep it warm - its french doors you can also shut and keep the rest of the house cosy and warm. There's also the lovely log burner and very efficient radiators in the cottage - most guests will find the cottage very toasty and warm indeed! Property Owner
Mrs Chubb November 2021

“Lovely Cottage with fab views from back of the house.”

Hannah was on call for any queries, would love to book again next year.

- Mrs Chubb, November 2021

We are SO pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage with us - it is so lovely to hear that you hope to book again next year and come and stay with us! The Malvern Hills are quite spectacular throughout the year, with each season having something unique to offer! We look forward to welcoming you next year! Property Owner
Mr Dunsire November 2021

“Very comfortable and cosy cottage.”

- Mr Dunsire, November 2021

We're so pleased you found the cottage comfortable and cosy. We took a lot of time over choosing which fixtures and fittings to go for - wanting a comfortable yet practical space for our guests! Property Owner
Ms Bingham October 2021

“The cottage was lovely and v clean.”

It was in a great location and within walking distance of a shop and 2 pubs ( even if that meant walking up and down hills) and the views were super. It had pretty much everything we needed If we were being really picky the hanging space for clothes wasn't really ok. Some bedrooms had hooks & hangers on the back of the doors which was a start but not the single room and it would have really helped if it did.

- Ms Bingham, October 2021

So glad to hear you found the cottage lovely and clean! I will pass on the feedback to our housekeeping team. We are so lucky to have 2 pubs within easy walking distance of the cottage, and the village shop down in the village. Some of our guests take the bus - 2 bus stops within walking distance of the cottage too when they don't feel like walking. As the cottage is exactly that, the 3 bedrooms are not massive [despite one being a double, and one being a king] - hanging space is at a premium and so we took the decision to go for hangers on the backs of doors where possible, and an additional small hanging rail in the double room rather than cramming large wardrobes in. We possibly do need to look at adding additional hanging space in the single room, and I will pass your comments on. Despite the shortage of hanging space we're glad that it didn't spoil your stay with us, and that you enjoyed the cottage and the hills! Property Owner
Mrs Lowery September 2021

“Nice cottage, perfectly located for exploring the area.”

Furnished well with lots of nice little touches. Just be aware that the off road parking involves a 90 degree turn from a busy and fast main road.

- Mrs Lowery, September 2021

So pleased you liked the cottage, we have worked so hard to make it a 'home from home', and keep it cosy and comfortable with a contemporary feel for our guests. Good point about accessing the off-road parking next to the cottage - you can either reverse or go in forwards to the space - we're very lucky to have level off-road parking on the hills! Property Owner
Mr Ricketts August 2021

“Cottage is perfectly situated for walks on the Malvern Hills directly from the door.”

The private garden, situated away from the cottage, was not mentioned in the cottage facilities, so was only used once. We only became of it after reading the guest book later in the week. It was a pleasant place to sit with a glass of wine.

- Mr Ricketts, August 2021

We are so glad you loved the location of the cottage, and enjoyed the variety of walks straight from the property! I'm so sorry we hadn't made you aware of the private little garden that goes with the cottage - we must re-visit the cottage description on the website, but we're so glad you found it, and enjoyed a glass of wine there in the evenings...sounds perfect! Property Owner
Mr Thackray August 2021

“A great cottage in a great location with fabulous views and sunsets.”

- Mr Thackray, August 2021

We're so happy you enjoyed the location of the cottage - and found the views fabulous! What we love are the gorgeous evening sunsets looking out towards Wales and the mountains - the large picture window in the kitchen is the perfect place to sit and watch the sun go down! Property Owner
Mr Connolly July 2021

“Fabulous cottage, in a great location near the top of the Wyche cutting, with great views of the sunsets over the Herefordshire countryside, and fabulous walks on the hills right from the doorstep.”

Extremely helpful and responsive owner, who provided lots of recommendations for places to visit and to eat out. Stairgates and travel cot were also a real help for our 2 year old.

- Mr Connolly, July 2021

So happy you enjoyed the cottage and the views and sunsets! It's so helpful to be able to walk straight from the cottage with a little one, without having to get into the car and travel. We also totally understand that when travelling with a little one, it helps to not have to take everything with you, so we're pleased we were able to offer you stairgates and travel cots for your use. Property Owner
Mrs Johnson July 2021

“This is a beautiful cottage, very well appointed and comfortable with some lovely touches.”

We will be back.

- Mrs Johnson, July 2021

Thank you for your kind words - it means so much! We work hard to make the cottage as comfortable as possible for visitors, to make it a home from home. Can't wait to welcome you back! Property Owner
Mrs Martin June 2021

“Really good location for exploring the villages.”

Clean, cosy and comfortable. The manager Hannah was really helpful and friendly. Great tea Room H2O just up the road was lovely and they baked a birthday cake for me with 24 hours notice. The cottage is lovely with amazing views Well equipped modern kitchen Lovely family bathroom. Very clean. Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Martin, June 2021

We are so pleased you found the cottage cosy, comfortable and clean - I will pass your comments on to housekeeping - cleanliness is one of our priorities for guests, and we work hard to keep our standards high. Fabulous that you found the H2O cafe just up the road - we love their cakes too! it's a great place to stop off for a coffee or lunch after a walk on the hills. We would love to welcome you back again! Property Owner
Mrs Ward May 2021

“A beautiful, comfortable and clean cottage.”

Well equipped and in a lovely spot. The terrace is lovely to sit with a cuppa in the morning and the little garden an added bonus. The owners provided loads of useful information too. Highly recommend and would love to return.

- Mrs Ward, May 2021

Thank you for your kind words - we are so pleased that you found the cottage clean and cosy. We try to think of all the things that would make our guest's stay as comfortable as possible. The garden and the terrace are great places to sit and enjoy a cuppa in the morning - or a glass of wine in the evening! We hope to see you again! Property Owner
Mr Walsh May 2021

“Great little property right in the heart of the Malvern hills, with easy access to the local villages and towns.”

Lots of walks of varying degrees from the property.

- Mr Walsh, May 2021
Mrs Brookes April 2021

“Lovely cottage, great location, would happy return in the future.”

- Mrs Brookes, April 2021
Mr Dunsire April 2021

“Chalk Cottage was better than expected, very clean and tidy.”

The interior design makes the the cottage very comfortable and cosy, we were disappointed when the week was up. We will definitely look to coming back soon.

- Mr Dunsire, April 2021
Mr Dalton October 2020

“Excellent cottage for exploring the Malvern Hills.”

Location allowed us to walk the Malvern ridges from the door, instead of having to use the car. Spotlessly clean, modern fittings, very tastefully decorated. Wood burning stove was excellent and thanks to owners for topping up our log supply. Communication with owner was easy and some very good recommendations on local catering suppliers/ shopping etc. The cottage had Harvey maps, at a large scale, which were superb in detail for exploring different local paths. Very convenient location for a visit to the Cotswolds also. Only the two of us stayed ( just prior to October 2020 lockdown), so we stayed in the double room with excellent views towards the Welsh mountains (the king-size bedroomwith en-suite is at the other side, overlooking the road). Thanks, C&S Cheshire

- Mr Dalton, October 2020
Mr Buswell August 2020

“Very good quality Cottage.”

Great area for walking Straight from the cottage, fantastic views on top of the hills.

- Mr Buswell, August 2020
Rev Lindley July 2020

“Chalk cottage is wonderfully located for access to walks across the Malvern hills, just a few minutes from the door gives you 360 paranoramic views of the surrounding countryside.”

Its also perfectly situated to access the historic properties, and delightful towns and villages around. We recommend a boat trip on the Severn from Upton.

- Rev Lindley, July 2020
Mr Wood January 2020

“A beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean cottage with everything we needed.”

Stunning views from the back though it was a bit foggy when we were there. Easy walking from the door to the Malvern hills. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The only drawback for us is that the garden was tricky for our small dog as she couldn’t manage the steps and it was a bit of a pain to take her down and keep her on the lead there. She’s recovering from an op so if well though would have walked loads and the garden wouldn’t have been such an issue then. Would stay again any time.

- Mr Wood, January 2020
Mrs Shah January 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Very clean and well furnished. Everything you could need for a short break in the Malvern hills.

- Mrs Shah, January 2020
Mrs Taylor December 2019

“Great place.”

Very warm and cosy. We were allowed to check in earlier in the day which was sorted by a quick email. The whole place was clean and tidy. The chase pub is only a 5 minutes walk. You can by fresh duck eggs and other bits up the road from a honesty box. We had a freezer put in the cellar for us which was a great help. Views were amazing, town and the shops were lovely to walk around. Great walks for dogs. The only small issue was that it advertised a king size bed and we rang up to check and this was not a king sized bed. Our daughter bed hops and needed this, but struggled some nights with room. We were plagued with a horrible virus that hit our family 1 by 1 through the week, but its was a very cosy place to stay. Thank you.

- Mrs Taylor, December 2019

The owner can confirm there is one double and one king size bed at the property. Apologies if the listing caused confusion for your stay. Property Owner
Mrs Clarke December 2019

“Loved the area.”

cottage great but could have done with more mugs etc to save washing up after every drink. loved the christmas touches. great holiday.

- Mrs Clarke, December 2019
Ms Holmes November 2019

“Chalk Cottage is an excellent property and we found nothing to fault.”

It was a real home from home experience. Great location for our walking holiday and near to any amenities which we needed plus a short 5 minute walk to a really good local pub. Hannah went out of her way to ensure that we could gain entry to the cottage 2 hours earlier than the specified time so that we could dump our bags and make the most of the daylight hours available to us in the Malverns. We would highly recommend Chalk Cottage.

- Ms Holmes, November 2019
Mrs Leggett October 2019

“Lovely cottage, very well presented & equipped & perfect location for enjoying walks direct from the cottage in the local area, Good pub in the village - The Chase Inn, had a great evening meal.”

Also recommend Cafe Morso (near the station) for light lunches

- Mrs Leggett, October 2019
Mrs Williams October 2019

“I cannot recommend Chalk Cottage too highly - the cottage itself is gorgeous, warm, spotlessly clean, well equipped and the owner provided lots of information for visitors, not to mention lovely welcome hampers for us and our dog.”

The cottage is perfectly situated for exploring the Malverns and the area has lots to offer for walkers, cyclists and heritage lovers.

- Mrs Williams, October 2019
Mr Evans October 2019

“Fantastic cottage”

- Mr Evans, October 2019
Mr Purath September 2019

Ms Butler August 2019

“We had a really lovely holiday at Chalk Cottage.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped - we had everything we needed for a brilliant break. The view from the kitchen window was stunning. We really appreciated the welcome pack and our dog Ralph was very grateful for the doggy welcome pack! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chalk Cottage - if you enjoy walking, the beautiful hills of Malvern are perfect for you and Chalk Cottage is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

- Ms Butler, August 2019

“Great location for exploring the area, fantastic for walking up and around the Malvern Hills.”

Cottage is comfortable with everything you need for a family holiday.

- Mr Wade, May 2019
Mrs Nolan May 2019

“The only problem we experienced was finding the cottage at first.”

The directions to find the cottage need to be clearer. We couldn’t find anything to tell us that we were in upper Colwall, no landmarks to indicate the area to look in. There is an old school/ church and it is up the hill from the British camp sign. I’m sure the owner could find more to help. However the owner was very helpful when ever we contacted her. The cottage was very comfortable and the views were stunning.

- Mrs Nolan, May 2019
Mrs Lawman April 2019

“Stylish and modern cottage that met all of our family 's needs.”

Lovely welcome hamper and great communications/info in respect of the welcome pack and dialogue with the property manager. Minute's walk to the hills and pub. In terms of booking it was excellent value.

- Mrs Lawman, April 2019
Mrs Herbert March 2019

“Stylish and beautifully furnished, yet still cosy, cottage, really clean and well equipped.”

We arrived in the evening and there was a lamp on in the lounge which was a really nice touch also a welcome hamper waiting for us and even one for the dog!

- Mrs Herbert, March 2019
Mr Casper March 2019

“Really enjoyed our stay at Chalk Cottage.”

Warm and cosy despite the weather and loved the log burner. Great views from the kitchen and bedroom window - morning sunshine, rain, hail, howling wind and snow all in one day. The house has been beautifully decorated to a very high standard. Excellent care from the property manager (Hannah) with a thoughtful welcome hamper for us and also for Monty our dog. We accidentally left something behind and were quickly contacted my Hannah, who kindly arranged it’s prompt return. Fantastic location with walks on the doorstop. We loved the area and are hoping to return. Thanks for a lovely stay!

- Mr Casper, March 2019
Mr Clarke March 2019

“The cottage is beautiful and exceeded our expectations.”

The decor is tasteful and all the rooms were well dressed. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, they even left us a small welcome hamper which was so kind. The cottage has a log burner which made it so cosy in the evenings. The bathrooms are lovely, big showers with good pressure, just what you need after day in the fresh air walking!

- Mr Clarke, March 2019
Mrs Stradling February 2019

“The owner had put a lot of thought into what would make the cottage perfect for guests.”

There were lots of homely touches and everything was of a very high quality. The welcome pack and dog pack were gratefully received. The information books were very comprehensive. They really had thought of everything. The location was excellent with easy access to the hills and lovely views out the back of the cottage.

- Mrs Stradling, February 2019
