“We had a wonderful stay at Kitts Cottage.”

Whilst the accommodation is compact the cottage is very well equiped and comfortable. The setting is great for walkers, being perched half way up the Malvern Hills, plus there are many other walks locally. There are plenty of good quality pubs, cafes and restaurants in the area and the towns of Ledbury, Upton on Severn and Worcester are within easy reach. The owners welcome pack was much appreciated. We loved our stay and would definitely consider returning.

“Lovely little cottage very clean and very welcoming, there was cake biscuits milk and butter, even dog biscuits, very thoughtful.”

- Mrs Skelton, September 2020
“The little things like the welcome pack and clean accommodation.”

- Mr Page, August 2020
“Absolutely perfect in every way.”

Immaculate tiny cottage which is beautiful and super clean. Bed lovely and comfy. The owner is so lovely and leaves a thoughtful hamper which is a wonderful touch. The cottage is small but wonderfully decorated and very cosy and romantic. We absolutely loved our stay here and would 100%, recommend and return.

- Mrs Edwards, August 2020
“Stunning area and location.”

Kitts Cottage was home from home. Although we didn't get to meet Rachele she thought of the little things that made it like a home. Like leaving a basket full of goodies and milk in the fridge and the radio on! Happy!☺

- Mrs Trounson, July 2020
“Kitts Cottage is ideally located for access to the Malvern Hills and walks.”

Also easy access to local towns and attractions. The cottage is so warm and cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, decorated to a very high standard. I don't think we have ever stayed anywhere where the bed was as comfortable or the kitchen so well equipped. The welcome basket for us and treats for the dogs was very well received. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

- Mrs Hewitt, February 2020
“The communication before arrival was superb, all requests were dealt with by Rachele very quickly and nothing was to much trouble.”

The cottage was just what we were looking for and everything we needed was there, the welcome basket was a nice surprise. Storm Denis kept us from venturing out too far but it really didn’t matter as the log burner and the cosy nature of Kitts Cottage made staying put a real treat.

- Mr Hobbs, February 2020
“Perfect location for walking in the Malvern hills.”

- Clark, December 2019
“I chose this cottage as it looked cosy and in a quiet location.”

It met both expectations perfectly.

- Mr Westfield, November 2019
“This quaint cottage is small in size but packs a big punch!”

Perfect for exploring the Malvern hills and surrounding country side it has everything you need. The owners have thoughtfully combined contemporary with classic in this traditional building with all the comforts you will need.. thank you Rachele we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

- Mrs Sage, October 2019
“Lovely cottage great location all went well nice welcome pack”

- Mr Bancans, September 2019
“We found the attention to detail above expectations and Rachele kind touches throughout the cottage made for a very pleasant holiday.”

We also found Rachele to be very accommodating and would recommend to our friends and family

- Mr Cannarella, August 2019
“Kitts Cottage was a great find.”

Tastefully modernised and decorated; extremely well equipped and very clean. The welcome basket was a very nice touch and treats left for our two dogs also. The location is great for gaining immediate access up onto the Malvern Hills and plenty of walks for the dogs too. The enclosed garden meant we could let the dogs relax in the garden without any worries of them getting out. Equally the little patio area with the table and chairs meant we had most of our meals ‘al-fresco’. Rachele was extremely helpful and very pro-active – even messaging us on the day of our arrival to let us know we could gain access early. We would thoroughly recommend Kitts Cottage and we will be going back again in the near future.

- Mr Swatton, August 2019
“Kitts Cottage was just perfect for us.”

Great communication before, during and after our stay & some lovely little touches left for our arrival including dog treats. Modern, clean & tasteful, it was great and we’ll be back. Thank you.

- Mr Oldham, July 2019
“Kitts cottage is a small but beautiful cottage in a great location for walking straight into the Malvern Hills.”

Rachele had left us a lovely welcome basket which included a present for the dogs. In the cottage there’s loads of useful information on things to do and places to eat, which was really helpful. I can’t wait to come back in the winter so we can try out the log burner! This really is a gem of a place and well worth a stay

- Mrs Wood, July 2019
“The cottage was absolutely lovely .”

Cosy quirky and an ideal setting for taking our dog. We could relax in the garden and walk from the house for our daily adventures. The host was very helpful and on hand if needed. Would highly recommend kitts cottage. Hopefully we will visit again.

- Mrs Powell, July 2019
“Kitts Cottage certainly exceeded our expectations from the initial booking, joining instructions and during our stay.”

The owner provided a welcome basket plus some goodies for our dog too

- Mrs Frost, July 2019
“Kits cottage certainly does not have off road parking.”

The camber of the drive from directly off the road is very high. We did attempt to park the car off road! If we had carried through with the parking we would have had multiple paint and bodywork to be done. The drive needs to be lowered in line more with the road. Also you cannot open the left hand gate (from the road) far enough as it hits the road. We had to park in the narrow road directly outside the property only just being able to exit the car. If I had known there was not any off road parking I would not have booked Kitts Cottage. We had a neighbour visit us on our first tea time there and asked us to move our car further towards the T-junction as there is also a salt bin on the opposite side of the road and it makes it very difficult for the local residents to get passed. Apparently she has to this every Friday when new occupants arrive. She did say it was annoying. We felt perhaps not wanted, and to be perfectly honest I cannot blame them. Also there is not really anywhere you can eat a supper...not wanting to sit at a very small breakfast bar. I know there is a very small table and 2 chairs in the boot room. We were lucky we ate outside, although I must say on very uncomfortable chairs. There was also 4 chipped plates in the kitchen...not nice. The dishwasher could do with a good clean on the sides. The TV aerial was not working on our first night, although the owners did come out on Saturday afternoon. There will be further problems with the aerial has has only wiggled it around somewhat! I realised when booking the cottage it was small but it is very small. To sum up, I would never book anywhere without off road parking, it’s important to us to know our car is safe. Also I felt uncomfortable knowing what the neighbours think of all the different people in and out of the area. I don’t think this cottage is up to your normal high quality of service. I hope you will send a representative to the cottage to look at the high camber of the drive. Malvern is a very beautiful town, we loved it.

- Mrs Foord, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments following your stay at Kitts Cottage. I'm sorry to hear that you were unable to take advantage of the off road parking. The space available can be difficult to access due to the steepness and width of the road. However, guests are welcome to park on the road in front if they don't feel confident to park there. It is worth noting that there is no dining table in the property but there is a breakfast bar in the kitchen, in addition to which the owner does supply a small table (kept in the boot room) that guests are welcome to bring into the living area. I'm pleased to hear that the owner was able to swiftly resolve the problem with the TV aerial. Kind Regards, The Customer Relations Team Owner relations
“We spent a week at Kitts Cottage which was located in a lovely position in Malvern.”

The cottage was fully equiped , very clean and a pleasure to return to after a full day out exploring the surrounding area. The owner left a very nice Welcome Pack for us , and one for the dog also , which we found a great help after a long car journey from our home in Northumberland. All in all a little gem of a cottage which we would be happy to recommend to friends and family. I would also add that the whole experience of booking our holiday with Sykes was made very easy with great communication from both Sykes and the owner of Kitts Cottage.

- Mr Warner, June 2019
“Getting on and off the driveway is not easy.”

The ramped access is too steep.

- Mr Bulcock, April 2019
“Kitts Cottage is a really cosy comfy cottage, spotlessly clean with everything needed to hand.”

The small garden was ideal for sitting outside in the sun and our Jack Russell, Rosie, loved it. Rachele left us a lovely basket of goodies which was really appreciated. She even contacted us to say we could arrive as early as we wanted as the previous couple left on the Thursday. Can thoroughly recommend visiting Tewksbury and the National Trust property Croomb Park. The only thing we had a problem is with the parking at the cottage. We couldn’t park on the drive as one of the gates only opened half way so we had to park on the road which, as the cottage is on a steepish hill and being right next to a T junction, meant we had to park right next to the wall which was Three feet from the T junction

- Mrs Hodkinson, March 2019
“Kitts Cottage is a beautiful property that has been lovingly restored by the owner.”

The design and decor is exactly what we would have chosen and we considered asking if we could buy the cottage so we'd never have to leave. The bed was incredibly comfortable so you can't help but have a good night's sleep. The kitchen makes the best use of space and is well equipped, the bathroom is stunning with a lovely deep bath, and the living room has everything you need for relaxing in the evening. The log burner makes it cosy and warm. There were fresh flowers in the living room, a lovely welcome basket for us and some treats for the dog. The garden is enclosed (perfect for the dog) and you can eat out there when it's sunny. Perfect. This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and we'll definitely be returning for another break later in the year. 10/10.

- Ms Butt, March 2019
“A revisit to this wonderful cottage for us as my wife used to live in it.”

It’s a very special place and has been beautifully and sympathetically refurbished. It’s the perfect base to climb up to the MalvernHills and a short walk to the Malvern Hills hotel which is good for a meal and a drink. A perfect place to stay for a couple and a pet dog. The welcome pack was also thoughtful and very generous.

- Mr Stephens, March 2019
“Great cottage, was very comfortable and was extremely clean with great facilities.”

The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. Was ideally situated with lots of places to visit nearby but also walks on your doorstep. Had a lovely holiday, very relaxing but also enjoyed the walks and visits.

- Mrs Wilton, March 2019
“So peaceful, lovely little garden to sit in that kept the sun all day.”

Cottage had everything you could possibly need

- Miss Ansell, February 2019
“Beautiful cottage in an ideal spot to explore the Malvern Hills.”

We were looked after by the owner Rachele even before we arrived through email, making sure our needs were met with little extra touches. During our stay, I had peace of mind that if there was a problem, Rachele was on hand to sort it. Thankfully everything was perfect for us. We look forward to returning to Kitts Cottage soon.

- Miss Nurse, February 2019
“Fantastic location for walking the Malvern hills especially if you have dogs, they thoroughly enjoyed it.”

- Mr Powell, February 2019
“Amazing cottage home from home lovely touches through out lovely part of the country”

- Mr Donald, February 2019
“The care to attention demonstrated by the owner was wonderful- small things like a welcome basket and small instructions carefully placed.”

She also gave her number should we need anything which was very considerate. I would most definitely go back and would recommend the location. The only comment, which is not really anything to do with the house or owner, is that it had neighbours and a school close by. A more isolated location would have been nice. But this is a personal preference and not something that reflects on the care to attention given. I had the dog with me, he loved it. There isn’t a back garden though and so he had to be supervised whenever he was out front to stretch his legs. The garden was not very big and so probably not ideal for a larger dog as we have, but regardless, for a couple or one person as I was, it was nice. I did have the plumber pop round to read the boiler, I didn’t expect this or particularly appreciate it during a holiday- I would suggest this is done when guests are not in resident next time. All in all 5* for care to attention and consideration from the owner. 4* for the position and amenities of the cottage itself. Thank you Rachele for a lovely stay :)

- Mr Iqbal, December 2018
“Lovely cottage in an ideal positon to walk the Malvern Hills, great welcome pack for both us and our dogs.”

Very clean and comfortable, a lot of thought has gone into the fixtures and furnishings. Two very tired dogs and humans at the end of the week!

- Mrs Mason, November 2018
“Lovely cottage decorated beautifully.”

Treats left upon arrival for ourselves and our rabbit (much appreciated!) Good location for surrounding amenities and lots to do around, 5*. Thankyou :)

- Miss Tonks, October 2018
“The cottage was so well equipped with welcome basket of food and treats for the dogs.”

It was very clean and comfortable, the bath was lovely after a day walking and the bed was extremely comfortable. The cottage made our break very enjoyable. Thanks ever so much

- Mrs Lavender, October 2018
“Perfect cosy cottage”

This is a lovely cottage. Well equipped and stylishly presented. The property was spotless and very comfortable. In a good location to discover the surrounding area and near to a local shop and pub should you want to eat out. The owner had left a much appreciated welcome basket including essentials, a very nice touch. We would not hesitate to book again.

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.
