Woodland Cottage

I did have a problem contacting the owner about collecting the key and had to phone Sykes who were extremely helpful and got it sorted very quickly.

It was stressful at the time, but the owner was pleasant and helpful.

This is a lovely, well-equipped cottage which has been restored beautifully from a Victorian Coach house.

The owners were very helpful and allowed us to park on their drive, although parking on the street was not an issue. Beautiful area too.

Really enjoyed our stay at Woodland cottage.

Very comfortable bed and lovely shower . We found there was plenty of room for the two of us. It was great to be able to go for walks and visit nearby sites of historical interest. Love the area and very happy with the holiday home !

Fully equipped cottage, comfy but stairs down to the kitchen are very steep and would be difficult for anyone with limited mobility.

Great views at the back of the cottage, especially when on the loo! Thanks for the wine on arrival.

Great property, even better than the photos.

Clean. Had everything you would need in the cosy kitchen. Amazing views from the bedroom, which was flooded with sunlight in the mornings. Slept really well. Lovely bathroom. Stunning part of the UK

Spent an enjoyable few days at this cosy cottage.

Small but everything you need for two people and great to have a log fire even though the central heating was very efficient. Did a walk up to the Malvern Hills without having to take the car and there are plenty of places to visit in the area. The bottle of wine was very welcome.

What a lovely place to stay.

Really cosy and a perfect location. We loved the view from the bedroom like others who have stayed before us. The wine was a lovely touch. We will definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage with all the required facilities.

Very helpful hosts. The open fire was fantastic. Parking was easy and convenient. Lovely area which we will definitely visit again.

This was a superb property for us in every way.

We love the sympathetic renovations particularly lower kitchen area. A must for us at this time of year is an open fire. Parking is good and we enjoyed walking directly from the front door. Local amenities were impressive including a selection of pubs with good food, beer and open fires.

We had a great week in Malvern staying in Woodlane Cottage.

It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Thank you Brendan and Lois for the bottle of wine which we both enjoyed. We will certainly stay here again in the future. Christine & Peter

We had a lovely holiday at woodland cottage, perfect for Malvern hill walkers straight across the road.

Malvern was a great town lots of cafes to enjoy and Ledbury too. The views from the cottage were fantastic, as were the hosts Brendan and Lois they were there if you needed them but left you to enjoy their quirky grade2 listed cottage. We visited Worcester, several NT homes and did plenty of amazing walks with fantastic views. Highly recommend for a varied holiday.

We had a wonderful stay here.

Contact with the owners was efficient and friendly. The cottage was lovely, with everything you could possibly need, even a welcoming bottle of wine

Absolutely perfect cottage, I didn't want to leave and would recommend it to any couple staying in the area.

It is so convenient for walking on the hills, the footpath starts a couple of mins walk from the property and also there's a well stocked walkable shop. It has been so nicely decorated and feels really spacious, even more so than the photos. Everything was very comfortable and wonderful views. The fire was wonderful and we made use of all the board games. Very cosy. The kitchen had everything and was very quirky. The hosts were wonderful and thank you for the wine! Would definitely visit again if in the area. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at Woodland Cottage.

It has plenty of period charm but with modern comforts too. I liked the way the space was divided - downstairs a spacious, characterful kitchen with a big range cooker, and upstairs a cosy sitting room with a log fire. The view from the bedroom and bathroom at the back of the building was wonderful. It was great to be in walking distance of Holy Well, so we could collect delicious spring water to drink (Jack and Jill – like the bathroom!) The bottle of wine on arrival was also much appreciated. Thank you, Lois and Brendan, for a delightful place to stay.

The cottage is on a main road, this isn't really made clear, otherwise all very pleasant.

Woodland Cottage was lovely.

We had a very relaxing time and the cottage was very comfortable. The garden at the back was lovely It was very central for everywhere we wanted to visit.

Wonderfully cool cottage in the heatwave.

Marvellous view for miles out of the spacious bedroom. Excellent bathroom with excellent shower. Sitting room small and a little cramped as you have to go between the sofa & the wall by the stairs to access the bedroom. Kitchen *very* quirky. Took me a long time to find everything, but well equipped once I *had* found all the equipment. No worktops, just the table to prepare food. Fridge-freezer in the cupboard. Very helpful and hospitable owners. Acess to far end of lovely garden

This was a late change to our holiday cottage in the area so we were not sure what we would find.

However the cottage is superbly equipped, there was even a local waterproof walking map, which we used every day. using it we did three walks straight from the door. The cottage is actually bigger than it looks and is very comfortable. Special mention to the super shower, which was well used after a long climb up into the hills. Super views out of the bedroom window, and of the garden which would have been nice to use if the weather had been better and less cold. The owners even contacted us and asked us if we needed the heating on, not something you would expect in July. to sum up its quirky, cosy and perfectly located for walks straight from the door.

Quirky, cosy cottage with everything you need.

Ideal base for exploring the area even you are not a walker. Wine on arrival very much appreciated. Lois and Brendan perfect hosts, helpful but not intrusive. Plenty of tourist leaflets available.

Excellent cottage, ideally placed for the 3 Counties Showground and for walking in the Malvern Hills.

Very comfortable.

Thank you for a lovely stay at Woodland Cottage.

The cottage is beautifully decorated and is very comfortable and warm. Everything needed to provide the perfect holiday and the views at the back are special indeed. We enjoyed walking the hills and round Ledbury. We will no doubt return in the future.

We couldn’t have wished to stay anywhere better for New Year’s Eve than here.

Really warm & cosy. It had everything you’d need including parking. Great views from bedroom & bathroom & easy access to the hills straight from the front door. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Excellent cottage cosy and warm, great walks straight from door.

Lovely quirky property with wonderful rear views from the bedroom.

Great stay and very good communication with the owners.

We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely cottage.

The views were amazing and everything we needed was in the cottage. Thank you.

Fab stay with lovely friendly hosts who we also met at the theatre!

Garden can be shared which was lovely. The views from the bathroom and bedroom are superb and unbeaten. The locality to get onto the hills is good but on the steeper side so a car is useful for less steep and getting into town as buses don't run at weekend/Bank holidays and only twice during the day. Would definitely stay again, loved it.

A perfect little cottage.

Very cosy, comfortable and homely. Just as described. Very near footpaths for walking up the Malvern hills. A convenience shop and pub with good food within walking distance too. We had a very enjoyable stay at Woodland Cottage.

We had a wonderful 3 nights break at Woodland Cottage.

Brendan and Lois were excellent hosts, and the cottage was spotless and well equipped - we had everything we could possibly need - down to a basket of logs for the open fire and a very good bottle of wine! It’s the perfect location for exploring the Malvern Hills extensive network of footpaths, as well as a great starting point for any number of driving tours. We have every intention of returning as soon as we can!

A very comfortable and quirky residence in a fantastic setting.

We felt relaxed as soon as we came through the door and that did not change for the whole of the stay! Also had a bottle of red waiting for us! Thank you Brendan & Lois David and Elaine

A lovely property although a bit chilly at this time of year until the (excellent) heating system is activated!

Mind you, built in 1840, what else could one expect?! The property was very clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Lovely cottage with great facilities and beautifully finished.

We loved our stay, thank you!

Lovely cottage well equipped.

Convenient location to explore area

Great location, cosy, comfortable, well equipped cottage.

Very helpful owners next door. Would recommend and would stay there again.

The cottage was lovely and in a brilliant place to access the Malvern hills which were stunning, we met the owner and he was very nice and helpful, the only problem we experienced was that the oven in the range cooker did not get hot and we were unable to use this feature which did limit our meal choices.

Delightful small house.

Excellent shower and nicely designed interior. Can walk out on to the hills from the house. Not really in walking distance to pubs in evening/dark.

I loved my stay at Woodland Cottage and am hoping to visit again later in the year.

It is a wonderfully characterful place and the owners, who live next door, have done an excellent job of renovating it and decorating it - it combines comfortable, modern, characterful and quirky. The cosy living room (open fireplace) is on the road side whilst the bedroom has the most incredible views - I could sit and watch them all day. The attached en-suite is to a high standard and you also have the same views from the loo! The basement kitchen is again full of character, has everything you need and is comfortable to have meals in, and they still managed to squeeze in a dishwasher, thank goodness. You can walk up to the Hills straight from the door - very handy - and only 10 minutes up the road to Great Malvern which has a large Waitrose amongst plenty of other shops. You can park in front of Brendan and Lois’ place next door.

Woodland Cottage is a little gem.

Lois and Brendan are very kind and helpful hosts. The cottage is great for a couple, or three people maximum. It is beautifully decorated and the views from the bedroom are outstanding.. We were very cosy during our New Year stay and loved coming back to the cottage, and the log fire ,after a day out in the spectacular Malvern Hills. I would definitely recommend Woodland Cottage.

Cottage was lovely.

Nice and clean, well heated, with good kitchen equipment. Nice hot shower. Characterful cottage. Very close to footpaths leading up to the hills. We were able to park off-road. There was a basket of firewood provided, though you have to buy your own once that's gone. And a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival. Really very pleased.

The cottage was perfect for my daughter and my stay.

Perfectly Clean and lovely and warm. The sofa bed in the lounge was a plus (we hadn’t noticed that in the details). As we were on a under 17 driving course at the Three Counties Showground this was the perfect retreat as an easy 5 minutes drive. We would definitely recommend it.

I found Sykes a very professional organisation.

The owners of Woodland Cottage were very friendly and helpful, but Sykes are terribly let down by their recommended insurance company. We had to cancel our holiday after two days due to food poisoning. The insurance company were Less than helpful. As a consequence I will not be using Sykes again, nor will I be recommending it to anyone.

Great location for walking and riding our bikes.

Fab area accommodation first class.

Comfortable, convenient, quirky

We enjoyed the cottage and it's location, however we feel that the FRIDAY change over day wasn't properly communicated.

We booked fairly recently, as the result of having had previous half term plans changed. We definitely entered Saturday to Saturday into the online calendar (in line with my husband's working pattern). It was a shock to be contacted on Friday 1st June, being told that we should have vacated that day! Having to return to the cottage, pack up and leave in a hurry was inconvenient and embarrassing. Admittedly the small print does give Friday (25th ) as the arrival date, but it was FAR from clear. A Friday start date doesn't seem very practical, for most people, unless you are only staying for the weekend, hardly very customer friendly, is it? Please spend less time bombarding us, daily, with advertising e-mails and more time highlighting the pertinent facts. We have already booked another cottage for August, the experience in Malvern has left us feeling anxious and disappointed. Let's hope our next experience is more positive.

Beautifully designed, so stylish.

The cottage had every thing we could possibly need and more.

The cottage was a delight and very quirky.

We both loved it. If thinking of visiting the area again would probably try and book this cottage as it was ideal for our needs.

Brilliant cottage for two in a superb location, with helpful and friendly owners nearby.

We had a wonderful meal at The cottage in the woods, just above us in the hills, worth a visit.

Really sweet character cottage.

Very well located for walking in the Malvern Hills and viewing the surrounding towns.

It was a brilliant place to explore the Malvern Hills and there were lots of other places to go that were not to far away e.

g. The Morgan factory, Croome Court etc. The owners were very hospitable and welcoming. We would certainly go again.
