What guests are saying
First class, would highly recommend
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Byefield Lodge. We’ve also recently updated our website with fresh new photos, so please take a look when planning your next visit!
We had a wonderful family time at Byefields.
The cottage was very clean and tidy. The hosts went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable, supplying extra towels and bedding when we asked them. The space downstairs is ideal, well-kept and spacious. The kitchen is well positioned and the garden is delightful, with the sound of wild life and songbird in the morning. The low ceilings upstairs posed a challenge for the tall adults, so it took a couple of days to get used to the angled ceilings. William, who lives next door, was a fantastic host. Unintrusive but attentive. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to spend such a special time as a family at your cottage.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted that you had such a special family stay at Byefields and enjoyed the cottage, garden and peaceful surroundings. William will be especially pleased to hear your kind words. We completely understand that the angled ceilings can take a little getting used to, particularly for taller guests. We have included photographs on our website to help guests see the upstairs layout and ceiling heights before booking. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be very happy to welcome you and your family back in the future.
Booked to enable attendance at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival.
Ideal location providing easy access to showground, Malvern Hills and surrounding area. Peaceful setting. Bedrooms are in roof space and therefore have limited headroom due to pitch of roof. Banged head several times!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful setting and found the location convenient for the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, the showground, the Malvern Hills and the surrounding area. We are sorry to hear the sloping ceilings caused a few bumped heads during your stay. As Byefield Lodge is a characterful converted roof-space property, some areas do have reduced head height, particularly in the bedrooms. We have recently updated the photographs on our own website to make this clearer for future guests before booking. Thank you again for staying with us and for your helpful comments. We hope to welcome you back to The Byefields in the future.
Very peaceful, relaxing environment and layout.
Good for our dog. Non-intrusive, friendly and helpful owners. The property is clean throughout. Downstairs there is a bathroom with WC, basin, many good quality towels and "wet floor" walk-in shower (no bath). Also, a large living space and a well provisioned kitchen, with a good selection of cooking utensils/containers, a sharp knife set, electric hob/oven, small microwave, small air fryer, decent fridge/freezer, plenty of drinking mugs and glasses and decent storage. No dish washer (not an issue for me) and the dish drainer is basic and small. The cold tap is hard to turn off. I have mobility issues, so toileting was awkward (no grab bars, for example.) and, upstairs, the 4 single beds are very low (I couldn't get off them without help, so had to sleep downstairs on the recliner, which hurt my back). The TV is great. Heating is also great. Overall I'd recommend, but with concerns about not being mobility-friendly.
We are pleased you enjoyed your week at Byefield Lodge and were sorry to hear of your mobility problems. We do state in our details that it is not really suitable for guests with mobility issues and had we known we could have made up the sofa bed downstairs. We certainly hope it did not distract from your enjoyment.
We had a lovely week at Byfield Lodge The garden was perfect for us and our two patterdale terriers.
Great size lounge, kitchen and shower room I have given 4 stars as we didn’t sleep well due to the mattresses I always think that a good quality mattress and a good night sleep makes all the difference, the vaulted ceiling did make sleeping feel a bit cramped but we knew this when we booked. Would love to stay again if the mattress quality was better.
We enjoyed our 4th visit at Byefield Lodge.
It is starting to feel like a second home ! We love the comfortable, warm house, the spacious garden ideal for our 2 little dogs, the peace and quiet and the proximity to the wonderful Malvern hills that we enjoy exploring . Thank you again!
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are pleased you feel so at home at the Lodge and we look forward to seeing you again.
We had a wonderful stay at Byefield Lodge.
Very spacious and comfortable accommodation with everything you might need, even down to dog equipment. For us the only minor negatives were the water pressure in the shower and limited head room upstairs in the bedrooms. This would not deter us from returning to Byefield Lodge in the future however, it was fabulous.
We had the most wonderful stay.
The house was warm and cosy, comfy beds. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden was absolutely beautiful, loved watching the ducks bobbing about in the pond, the squirrels scurrying around collecting acorns. Everything was perfect.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Our team thank you for your kind review.
We had a lovely week at Byefield Lodge.
It is in such a lovely, peaceful location, while still being near to places to visit. The cottage itself is well equipped with high quality and comfortable furniture. We loved the garden and we had great weather too. The only thing we would change is having a double bed in one of the rooms - we guessed that the twin beds mean that you walk down the middle of the room, which wouldn't be possible with a double, leading to more banging of heads on the pitched roof. The owners were friendly and helpful but not intrusive in any way - we'll definitely be returning!
Thank you for you kind review. We would love to welcome you back
This was our third stay in the Byefield and as enjoyable as ever.
It is a very peaceful and secluded property with plenty of wildlife and some lovely walks across the fields. I have only marked the comfort down one because of the upstairs restricted headroom and difficulty using the upstairs toilet and basin, however this is a small price to pay for such and ideal property and there is always the large downstairs shower room.
Thank you for returning to us again. It means a lot to our small team that our guests enjoy their stay with us.
This property is in a beautiful location with a beautiful garden and beautiful very well laid out and furnished.
Lots of walks near by for the dog and lots to see in close proximity and we loved it once we'd got used to sloped roof in bedrooms
Thank you for your kind review.
Lovely cottage in a lovely area with a nice garden to sit in the only down side are the bedrooms have slopping ceilings and we kept bumping our heads also they got very warm but it was the middle of a heatwave the owners had provided fans but didn't help much.
The welcome basket was lovely and the cottage is very dog friendly with of road walks
The property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped The outside space was beautiful and well kept, very dog friendly The 9-00 am departure time is far too early, making the previous evening and day of departure a complete waste of time Would highly recommend this property
Thank you for your feedback. We hear what you say and will change the checkout time to 10.00 We are pleased you enjoyed the Lodge.
Great cottage very comfortable we had a lovely week.
The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We will be back.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It mean a lot to us to know that our guests enjoy their time with us.
Lovely cottage ,people very helpful had a great time
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us over Christmas.
This is our 2nd visit to Byefields lodge and it is amazing !
I couldn't recommend this place enough . Friendly owners , lovely treat basket on arrival , quiet , tidy ,clean and extremely excellent value for money.We enjoyed every minute of our stay it was just what we needed. Thank you you so much for a relaxing time .
Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased you were able to relax and just chill while you were with us. We really appreciate your kind words.
We spent a very pleasant and relaxing week at Byefield lodge.
The lodge is spacious, very clean, warm and very well equipped. We also found a generous welcome basket with goodies for humans and dogs! The lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful setting with a large secure, private garden ideal for all and a large pond full of wild life: moor hens, ducks, birds. We watched the kingfisher from the kitchen window on the first morning and a muntjac zip across the garden. It made our day. The weather was kind to us that week. The lodge is centrally placed for visiting many places of interest. We like a hike and we « conquered » the Malvern Hills from north to south in 3 sections, visited Malvern town, Upton upon Severn, Ledbury and Elgar’s grave. Still plenty to see and we’d love to go back to Byefield.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the wildlife we are lucky to have around us. We would love to see you again.
I am five foot eight and my wife was five feet four and we both hit our heads on the sloping ceilings we could only stand upright in the middle of the room which spoilt the stay other than that the downstairs was lovely
Lovely property, nice and warm now its getting chilly.
Quite secluded down a lane but easily accessed. Quiet but within easy reach of local shop and pubs with a short drive. Nice central location in Cotswold area with shortish drives to Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford, Tewksbury and the Malvern Hills. Alround recommended
Thank you for your kind review which we truly appreciate. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
A really comfortable immaculate cottage with everything provided and lots of welcome and thoughtful touches.
..torches, doggie bags and bowl. Very comfy sofas and plenty of seating in the idyllic garden, plus sunbeds-a real treat! Dogs loved it especially the walk up the lane to the wonderful field complete with table and chairs to enjoy the views-magical!
Thank you for your kind review. Our team really appreciate knowing our guests are enjoying their stay with us. We would love to see you again.
Absolutely loved everything about Byfield Lodge,for us and our dogs it was as near to perfect as you you could get.
We hope to spend many more holiday's here in the near future.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you had a good break. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean, very private, a great base for exploring the Malverns, and a beautiful garden to spend time in too.
Definitely dog friendly - we loved that they provided towels for the dog as well as for the humans.
Thank you for your review. We're pleased you enjoyed our lovely Malverns and our dog friendly cottage.
An extremely peaceful property within easy reach of so many different places to visit.
The property was extremely clean and provided everything you could need. Such a lovely welcome pack, much appreciated. The garden was the best our dog has had away from home, so thank you. Only hiccup for us was the sloping ceilings in the bedrooms, but for a week worth it for the property itself.
Thank you for your review which we really appreciate. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
Comfortable well appointed lodge.
Fantastic safe garden for our little dog to mooch around, lovely quiet secluded spot. Great location to visit the many attractions. Nice walks on the doorstep, just a lovely place.
Thank you for your kind response. So pleased you enjoyed The Lodge. The weather was certainly a little better than it has been.
A very clean and well equipped lodge allowing us to enjoy a very peaceful and relaxing stay.
Ideal position enabling easy access to the local facilities and attractions.
Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Lodge.
Fantastic property in a beautiful peaceful location.
Everything was as described and surpassed expectations. The addition of milk and a welcome basket was greatly appreciated. Overall very well appointed and the washing machine and tabs came in useful. Our shipoos had a great time and enjoyed the doggy teats. We would definitely book again, thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you for your lovely review. The team that look after The Lodge really appreciate it. We would love to see you again.
The positives of this property are, the peace and quiet, easy access to lovely walks, well placed for all that this area has to offer, being well equipped and well presented.
It was lovely and cosy. What was not so positive and is neither mentioned in the description nor apparent from the photos is that the upstairs rooms are almost entirely in the eaves. I am only 173 cm tall and therefore could only walk upright if I kept to the centre of the rooms. This made dressing etc very tricky! My fault for not paying attention but note that you have to be out by 9am , not an ideal finish to a holiday!
Thank for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the peace, the lovely walks, and our well-equipped, cosy property. We're sorry about the issue with the low ceilings. They are mentioned in the description of the property. We have had many lovely reviews online and in our guest book and returning customers to The Lodge. Regarding the 9am checkout, this is to allow our cleaning team enough time to prepare for the next guests. We can often be flexible, so if you’d mentioned it, we could have adjusted it to a later time.
The cottage and location were excellent.
The spring time is beautiful, ground covered with primroses, bluebells, cowslips. A pleasure to sit by the pond with ducklings.. a very well equipped cottage.
Thank you for your kind review. We love this time of year at The Lodge with all the wild flowers and baby ducks and moorhens so are pleased you did too.
beautifull property ,great for dogs lovely goody box i had agreat time
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you and your doggies had a great week even though the weather could have been kinder.
Bylfield lodge reflects the genuine hospitality of the owners, attention to detail and comfort of guest addressed at every turn fine standard of cleanliness and facilities
Thank you for your kind review. Our team really appreciate knowing that our hard work maintaining Byefield Lodge is obviously paying off and that you have enjoyed your stay with us.
We loved our stay at Byefield Lodge, it’s clean and comfortable, everything we needed to enhance our holiday.
It was lovely to receive the welcome box, it’s always good to sit and have a cuppa after travelling. It was also a good base to enjoy the area, Croome Castle and Sudeley castle are well worth a visit. We would definitely visit again. Jean & Byron
Thank you for your lovely feedback which we really appreciate. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in The Lodge.
A beautiful clean and comfortable lodge with everything you could wish for.
A very quiet location which was so relaxing and the owners very friendly. We hope to go back again next year. Jill and Mick.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and would love to see you again. Best wishes Doug, Mary and William
We had a lovely stay at Byefield Lodge despite poor weather the week we visited.
The accommodation was very comfortable for the 2 of us and our dog, and well equipped. The welcome pack was much appreciated. It’s in a nice secluded spot with plenty of privacy from neighbouring properties, down a peaceful lane. There is a good network of cross country footpaths for walks straight from the door, but it was also well situated for walking on Malvern Hills just a 10 minute drive away.
Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased you enjoyed The Lodge and had some good walks with the dog. You certainly didn't get the best weather but glad you were able to make the most of your stay.
Stayed here towards the end of August.
Lovely property in a picture perfect setting (particularly the Monet style view of the bridge over the large pond). Absolutely everything we could possibly need was provided. It was very well equipped throughout. Teenage daughter bagged the ensuite bedroom so we did have to pop downstairs for the bathroom in the night, but torches are provided and there are little movement activated lights near the stair. Lots of nice places to eat or take out locally (short car drive) and a little village shop in walking distance which is well stocked with snacks and drinks. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you to lovely owners
Thank you for your kind review Caroline. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you again.
Our second time at the Byefields.
We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet. Such a lovely place with lots of wild life. The owners Mary and William are such nice hosts and we appreciated our welcome pack. I question the Friday to Friday bookings as it's by far the worst day for traffic. Sunday to Sunday would be so much better and would save hours being stuck in queues.
Thanks for the lovely review. We were pleased to see you again and look forward to seeing you in the future. Sunday to Sunday sounds good for travelling but unfortunately we would have problems with regular Sunday bookings to get emergency maintenance that sometimes has to be done and arranging for help with cleaning. I agree that our roads seem so congested nowadays. Best Wishes Mary and William
We really enjoyed our stay at Byefield Lodge it is on a quiet country lane and has everything there for a perfect relaxing holiday.
So many places to visit in the area and there is beautiful countryside surrounding it. Would highly recommend this property.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your kind review. We would love to welcome you again.
We had a wonderful, restful week at Byefield Lodge.
The accomodation was very well equipped, and extremely comfortable, although the bedroom ceilings take some getting used to! The only cloud was that the bbq mentioned in the listings when we booked, and shown in the pictures isn't there any more, and when we read the visitors book, it was clear that the welcome pack used to include cake and wine, but no longer does!
So glad you had a lovely week and thought the accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. We do vary our welcome pack so sorry a cake wasn't in yours. We have stopped providing wine as we had a guest who explained to us that they did not want alcohol in the house and when thinking about this there are a number of reasons why this might be. We hope you did enjoy the welcome pack that we left. Best Wishes Mary and William
Our stay at Byefield lodge was lovely it was very clean and a lovely place for a peaceful holiday we will book it again so thankyou
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Best Wishes
Wonderful cottage with everything you could need.
So very peaceful
Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet at the lodge.
A very clean and comfortable cottage located in a quiet location, plenty of good walks in the local area, we would certainly recommend it and would consider going again.
Thank you for your kind review. So glad you enjoyed the peaceful location of The Lodge. Mary and William
This was our second visit and we would go again.

The lodge was exactly as described.

Thank you Mike. So glad you enjoyed your stay at The Lodge over Christmas. We look forward to welcoming you again and wish all your family a Happy New Year. Best wishes Mary and William
Lovely & quiet rural location but with a village shop.
Very comfortable & clean in the lodge. Heating control was excellent. All facilities you could want in the kitchen. Plenty of towels. Loved having the smart tv.
Thank you David for your lovely review. Sorry we were not able to meet though Doug told us you had telephoned him. Glad you enjoyed your stay at the Lodge. Best wishes Mary and William

Highly recommend if your after a peaceful stay away and “home from home feel” we all had a lovely stay and was left well alone to enjoy the beautiful lodge and environment.
We went with 2 children and 2 dogs and the lodge was well equipped the area was lovely with plenty of shops thank you for having us and we will recommend you to all of our friends
Thank you Hannah. We really appreciate your review. We enjoy having guests to stay in The Lodge and it is good to know that you have enjoyed your time with us. Our small team of helpers thank you too. Best Wishes Mary and William
Peaceful and quiet location, and as Welland has no street lamps, the cottage is an ideal spot to view the starry night sky.
Very comfortable beds and the guests are well provided for in the kitchen and lounge area. The guest book mentions several comments about re-visiting and we will be one of them.
Thank you Derek. So glad you found our little cottage so peaceful and comfortable. Please come and see us again. Stay safe Mary and William
Just returned from a week in Byefield Lodge & couldn’t fault it.
Accommodation was perfect & the gardens are gorgeous. Really appreciated the welcome pack & dog treats. One of the best equipped cottages we’ve stayed in. Would definitely recommend & we will definitely return. Spoke to both the owners who were lovely. Thank you for our stay.
Hello Neil So glad you enjoyed the Lodge. Thank you for the lovely review. We certainly hope you come and see us again. Thank you for staying with us. Mary and William
This is a lovely property with all facilities set in a beautiful garden in a stunning part of the world.
The owners of the property were lovely and could not do enough for us in our brief stay: they have certainly worked really hard to make this a wonderful place for a holiday. Thank you!
Thank you for your review Rob. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to see you again. You mentioned your family enjoy biking and there are certainly plenty of good routes to cycle in the area so hopefully we will. Stay safe Mary and William.
The location is lovely, and secluded.
However unfortunately the owners had decided to drain the lovely big pond next to the lodge (One of the reasons we chose it) leaving it empty and muddy. They then brought a large digger in to remove the mud on the second day of our stay. They had left us a note and £50 compensation on our arrival informing us of the disruption. Which softened the blow a little. Then as we were about to pack and leave on at 8.40am on Friday they decided to try and hurry us up by using a petrol hedge trimmer right next to the lodge and by our car that we were loading to leave. As we got in the car the man stopped the trimmer and walked away. I had just had a lovely chat with the owner next door prior to this so have no idea why they felt the need to do this. Not a great experience for what is overall a lovely property. If you are going to be in this business then customers come first surely, consideration and communication.
Thank you for your comments, I can confirm we did not drain the pond/lake. It drained itself because of the drought as it is fed naturally from the hills. As mentioned, it had only dried out twice in 33 years that we have lived here. Other local ponds have had the same problem in our area. Hopefully as soon as it rains it will very quickly get back to normal. There was a small trickle left at one end and my husband placed a small pump to stop the rainfall (as we had a thunderstorm on the Monday before you arrived on Tuesday) from collecting. We wanted to remove some of the mud that had collected over the years and had become a flood hazard. We left the note offering you £50 to have a meal on us as we wanted a digger in on Thursday to remove this mud and there would be some noise. We tried to minimize the disruption by keeping the digger on our side of the garden and not affect the Lodge garden. We always put our guests first and would not do anything to ruin their time with us. I have ascertained our Gardener did start trimming around 9 and he should not have done until you left. We apologise for this.
lovely stay , was perfect base for the steam fair , be very happy to stay again
Thank you Jennifer. Glad you enjoyed your stay at the lodge and the steam fair. Lovely to see it go ahead this year after the last two years cancelled. We would love to see you again. Mary and William
Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful setting.
Spacious, comfortable, clean and had absolutely everything we required. Yes, the ceiling in the bedrooms were a bit low but they didn’t cause a problem as we quickly got used to them and slept very well. We all had a lovely time, including the dogs - would highly recommend and look forward to returning.
Thank you Robert. So glad you all had a lovely time including the dogs. We would love to see you again. It makes it all worthwhile when our guests enjoy staying at the lodge. Mary and William
A lovely very well equipped lodge in fabulous surroundings.
We ate lots of meals in the garden next to the lake and just enjoyed the peace and quiet which we absolutely loved. The only very minor issue is the low ceiling height in the bedrooms. All in all, we would highly recommend this property.
Thank you Jon for your review. It was lovely meeting you both . So glad you enjoyed the lodge and we would love to see you again. Stay safe Mary and William
Absolutely beautiful place to stay.
Everything was thought of. Quiet and relaxing, comfortable rooms and lovely and clean. Only down side was the images of the ground size is not what you can actually use. Over half is chained off as private which was disappointing as was a huge part of why we chose here. Owners were lovely and friendly, even popping over when we had issues with the WiFi code. Would stay again.
Thank you Sharlotte for your review. So glad you were pleased with the Lodge and would come again. Sorry about part of the garden being chained off. We chain the bridge off because it gets very slippy when wet so worry about the health and safety. We would love to have you back. Kind regards Mary
low ceilings in the bedrooms everything else fab
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us Kind Regards Mary
A lovely comfortable cottage, extremely well equipped together with a beautiful garden to relax in.
We have stayed in several Sykes cottages over the years and this must be one of the best by far
Thank you William for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the lodge. Sorry we didn’t have chance to meet. Maybe next time. Kind regards Mary and william
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely lodge.
It’s very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was an unexpected touch and we and our 2 dogs loved the treats!! ( I loved the wine). The area is fabulous and the lodge is situated in lovely grounds. We would definitely return and hopefully stay longer next time. We met the lovely owner as we left, all in all a perfect place for a perfect break.
Thank you Diane. So pleased you loved the Lodge. Glad you had a good break but next time come for longer when the weather is warmer. (we hope). Take care and stay safe. Best Wishes Mary
Byfield Lodge has everything you need and more.
Very clean and looked after the garden is lovely and the area is really nice would definitely recommend Byfield Lodge to anyone we will be returning if visiting the area! I will be recommending to family and friends who visit malvern many thanks to the owner for all the extra information in the property on restaurants etc 10/10 many thanks
Thank you Nicholas. It was lovely meeting and talking to you both and we would love to see you again. So glad you enjoyed the Lodge and the location. Come back to see us when the ducks have had their babies and everywhere looks greener. Mary
Beautiful property which had everything you would need.
Very cosy and welcoming.
Thank you David for your lovely review. Sorry the weather couldn't have been kinder. I'm glad you enjoyed the Lodge. Mary
Having stayed at another Sykes premises at Appletree House which was amazing as per my review I guess trying to live up to this was always going to be a challenge for Byfield Lodge.
However , Byfield Lodge is in an amazing location , very quiet , peaceful & beautiful surroundings. On arrival we were a little disappointed as the king size bed in one of the bedrooms had been swopped for 2 x singles , i understand why in terms of headroom/access but would have been nice to have been informed of these changes. Overall the premises were clean although a bit more attention is required , the oven glove was pretty disgusting , the large utensils in the draw had food on them and the Microwave needed cleaning out before we could use. I believe that with a bit more TLC this place could be amazing
Hello Stephen We are glad you liked the the location of the lodge. I'm sorry about the beds. The photos should be changed soon on the Sykes website but it does seem to take a long time to happen. We have had positive reviews as there is a lot more headroom. I apologise if the microwave wasn't as clean as it should be and we have re arranged the utensils so they are a lot tidier. (We have also thrown away the oven glove). We will carry on attempting to make the Lodge as amazing as we can. Mary
Loved the property and location and had a great time.
Would have been nice if the outside security light had worked.
Thank you Ian for your review. We are so pleased you had a lovely time at The Lodge. We apologise for the outside light not working and thank you for telling us. We have fixed it already. Please come again and see us.
The cottage is so clean and very well equipped indeed, in particular a fully equipped kitchen, which is really helpful during this period, when you might wish to cook rather than go out.
It is well and conveniently situated for walking and Great Malvern and the hosts are really lovely and helpful. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your great review. It was lovely meeting you and we are so pleased the Lodge met your expectations. We really appreciate your comments.
Set in a stunning location amidst most beautiful scenery and historic places it really is rural England at its best.
The property did not disappoint either. It is modern, light and airy, well appointed and cosy, the welcome pack was most welcome. Byefield Lodge provided the ideal base for a most enjoyable short stay.
Thank you Mr Carey for your lovely review. We are very pleased the Lodge met your expectations and you had a pleasant stay with us.
Extremely well maintained Lodge, beautiful location.
All you need for a comfortable holiday.
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your comments as we try hard to ensure our guests have a good stay We would love to see you again.
Lovely cottage near the Malvern Hills.
Lots of space for two. Comfortable and clean. The welcome pack was very appreciated. The location is good for places around the area. Waitrose is nice for bigger shop. The garden was fantastic but could do with feeling less like a part of someone else’s garden and seemed a little unfriendly.
Thank you for your response. We are glad you have had a lovely week and were pleased with the cottage.
Had a good stay.
Quiet and nice surroundings. Could of been cleaner however its a dog friendly place and plainly dogs have been on the sofas. Table and work surfaces went clean. Kitchen was pretty well equipped but showing its age compared to some. Shower is downstairs which is a wet-room/curtain affair with an electric shower. Lounge was fine. Smart TV is old so bring a Chromecast or similar as Netflix barely works, nothing else. Wifi/Broadband is OK. Beds are fine. Niggles are headroom upstairs is awful. You can stand down the apex but anywhere else its a crouch or worse. Stairs creak so no creeping around. The new gate isn't well sited or installed. If it were 1-2 ft wider or inset slightly it would make access easier. The hedge opposite had been cut back but its still a few shunts in a larger vehicle. However if you have dogs and are looking for a good base in Malvern it will work for you.
We are pleased you had a good stay with us and have taken note of your comments so we can improve our guests visit. We would like to add that we have now replaced the old smart tv. Thank you for pointing this out to us. we have also changed the layout of the bedroom (even though the photo on Sykes has not yet been altered) which gives a lot more room for walking around.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Byefield Lodge.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. It was well equipped with a good sized outside space (our dogs particularly enjoyed the pond!). The cottage is very well situated to explore the surrounding area, and there are many footpaths nearby for those wishing to venture out on foot. We would definitely recommend Byefield Lodge and hope to book again.
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and would love to see you again.
We had an enjoyable stay at Byfield Lodge, very clean and well equipped.
Nice welcome pack including a treat for our dog. Lovely garden and very friendly owners and neighbours. We enjoyed walking in the Malvern Hills, visiting Eastnor Castle with our dog and several National trust properties.
Thank you for your review. We enjoyed having you and so glad you had a lovely week. Please come back and see us again.
A wonderful base for exploring the Malverns and surrounding area.
A clean, peaceful and comfortable property with the most amazing garden and wildlife. Everything we needed for our holiday was provided by the owners. The kitchen was well-equipped and the property was beautifully decorated and fitted out. The bedroom ceilings are extremely low, but you are made fully aware of this when you make your booking and soon get used to them when you are staying at the lodge. Our teenage sons fully appreciated the fast WIFI connection. A wonderful holiday in a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend Byefield Lodge.
Thank you for your review Sarah. We are glad you had such a lovely week and would love to see you again.
The cottage was excellent and in a perfect setting with a particularly lovely garden.
We enjoyed two bbq's there. Welland is perfectly positioned to explore the nearly Malvern Hills and beyond.
Thank you John for your positive review. Glad you enjoyed the bbq.
Lovely quiet location and wonderfully kept grounds.
Only possible improvements we would suggest are individually small but together make the difference between a good and Great stay. Not being close to a town and having such lovely countryside nearby plus BBQ facilities meant we cooked a lot - kitchen is quite poorly stocked with very basic glasswear, no cleaning brushes just cloths, no dishwasher (despite room for one in utility) and no sink drainer either and limited T towels. There wasn't even a wooden spoon! Another real problem was Wifi which was appalling and regularly less than 2mb speeds which meant you struggled to even load BBC iplayer or Netflix let alone watch anything. With no local mobile signal email was our only comms method and this often couldn't be sent due to wifi dropping out. Bottle of prosecco was a nice touch on arrival but would have preferred Salt n Pepper mills plus some more cooking utensils instead. Even with covid basic cooking staples such as Olive oil bottle and seasoning can easily be wiped clean before each visitor - didn't like having to buy the real basics just to make easy cooking possible. If these small things were solved it would have been great though.
Thank you for your feedback, I understand you were reasonably upset by the lack of olive oil and slow broadband. The broadband is super-fast at over 100mb and the password was in the welcome book but we believe you may have been trying to access broadband via an old router that was still present so we do apologise and have since removed the old router to avoid any confusion in the future That being said, I wish you had informed us of this on arrival, or even during your stay. We would have loved the opportunity to make things right. We welcome your feedback and have taken all your comments on board.
The owners of the property were lovely.
The property was very nice. My only moan is that the bedrooms all though the bed was very comfortable the head room was not. You had to be so careful when getting out of bed especially in the night because your up in the eaves of the building. The grounds and the surrounding area is stunning. Overall a very nice holiday.
We had an amazing stay at Byefield, walking distance to the New Inn, lots of footpaths to explore at the bottom of the road, a great base to explore the Hills, Malvern, Ledbury and Marina at Upton.
The facilities where in great condition, clean and recently modernised. WiFi and usb points where a great hand with the kids. Family games to play if you have time. Awesome coal BBQ to the ready, beaut of a garden to relax in. Handy hose pipe to spray hot kids and dirty pup down. We met the owners who where very friendly and helpful too. Would 100% recommend. We plan to back next year. Thank you for having us Byefield lodge!
Clients need to take note of the details, namely the lack of height in the bedrooms.
Although you can stand in the centre of the room, beneath the apex, if someone is broad shouldered or tall, it is very restricting. To get in bed and to access the bedside cabinets, you have to crouch along the room. This is manageable for a short stay. Even though you are aware of this from the details, it is not until you stay in the lodge that you fully understand the lack of height. Having said this, we would return here for another short stay. The entrance gateway is a tight access from the lane, but is achievable. However, if you had a long vehicle, you may struggle to turn in from the lane. The gardens are beautiful. The lodge is well equipped. The cleaning equipment supplied is more than adequate. We would happily recommend Byefield Lodge, with the above information noted.
The reasons for not giving top rating for everything: I did feel that the oven and trays had not had a good clean.
The lodge was extremely comfortable but the sloping bedroom ceiling did cause a few bumps and bruises. A few more additions in the kitchen utensil draw would have been v welcome - perhaps some kitchen scissors, a wooden spoon and an ice making tray would have helped. We loved the garden. There were plenty of sockets for various devices and the TV was amazing. Would have liked a hairdryer! None of the above spoilt our holiday - we loved the property and had a great time.
Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at this property.
Beautiful extensive garden and very comfortable accommodation. Owners were very responsive and helpful.
A very tranquil garden enabling one to chill out and relax (with or without a good book).
The house was very comfortable with a suitably kitted out kitchen. It was beautifully heated for the winter weather. Doug made himself available by phone to resolve silly queries that we had. There was only one small negative being that the main bedroom is a loft extension requiring one to bend and duck to avoid the low angled ceiling.
Lovely cottage set in an idyllic location.
Great for a get away from it all break.
Good to know
