Dobbies Den

Lovely cottage, lovely owners very helpful, thank you Jo and Todd.

The cottage does have a steep staircase so anyone who is unsteady on their legs this would be an issue. Otherwise lovely.

We had a lovely stay at Dobbie's Den.

The place is as described and accurate to the photos. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and the garden was welcome. It was easy to find from the map and no trouble with parking straight outside.

Our second visit.

Again we have stayed in the area to be able to attend a music festival. We had a lovely week exploring the area when we weren’t at the festival. The best bit was doing a walk to Stourport and back. On the return leg, as we approached Bewdley, we heard lions roaring. Wow! I’m assuming that they were at the Safari Park and not roaming wild

Lovely little place with everything you need.

Big comfy beds very helpful and friendly owners

We had a lovely stay at Dobies Den, great location and close to local amenities, within walking distance to Bewdley.

The property has facilities to a high standard and is very comfortable, we will certainly look to book again next year. Thanks for a great stay !

We had 2 wonderful stays at Dobbies and loved it there.

Kitchen fully equipped and a lovely garden for relaxing in. Our dog was so happy there, and we were even allowed to take our cat with us too. Will definitely be back soon. X

Beautifully clean with very comfortable beds.

Really handy to have parking out front and the garden is a real suntrap. Just a quick heads up for those with mobility issues - the stairs are very steep and the bathroom is not accessible - it's really very tricky to get into the bath for a shower. To end on a positive, it's a beautiful location with lovely walks nearby. It's very handy for access to the joys of the local vicinity. There are so many gorgeous places to visit, we had a lovely break away!

Lovely place comfy beds , ideal location.

The WiFi isn’t good even after refreshing every day it still buffers . Fantastic chip shop for kebabs over the road big portions . Great little place to stay

Loved our week at Dobbies Den.

We were in the area so that hubby could attend a music festival over the weekend. In the meantime Bran (my dog) and I enjoyed investigating the locale during a period of warm sunny weather. The cottage is fabulous although I have to agree with previous comments that the bathroom is on the cool side! Despite this we have a plan to revisit

Dobies Den, we had a superb stay, great location, clean, very comfortable and will definitely be looking to book again in the future.

would highly recommend Dobies Den Thank you !

Lovely cottage well positioned for easy access to Bewdley, Kidderminster and Safari park.

Walks from door. Cottage clean and extremely comfortable beds and cosy living room. Nice quality linens and towels. Bathroom very cold only small towel rail, and wall permanently has condensation on it.Tv stopped on 2nd night, contacted Todd the owner who tried his best on the night but sorted it out for us the following day. Good off road parking. Nice walk to Bewdley and along river, also nice walk around perimeter of Safari park and bk to Bewdley. Excellent riverside cafe serving the best and tastiest Old English all day breakfast at very good price.

Our 1st time using Sykes and what a smooth experience, will definitely use Sykes again.

Our stay at Dobbies was truly wonderful, such a comfy and pleasant little cottage. The king size beds and bedding was extremely comfortable and i could smell fresh linen upon entering the bedrooms. The road was abit noisy but didn't bother us after the 1st night. Overall a very pleasant experience. Also the hosts left us fresh bread, coffee, milk and butter, so kind. Thank you

Good points, fantastic beds so comfortable,plenty of cutlery glasses etc Bad points,cobwebs on a lot of the light shades,television could only get bbc1 even put new batteries in the remote,bathroom very cold even with the heating on,opened the bedroom door and the door nob came off in my hand missing the screw,the cottage is on a very busy road, but the cottage is situated in a good place for exploring the area and had a fantastic day on the Seven Valley Railway

We were concerned about how steep the stairs were seeing that we are well into our 70's.

We were also concerned that we wanted to turn on the radiator in the lounge because it started to get cold unfortunately as soon as I turned it on it started to leak so had to turn it off again.

What a lovely stay, it was central to all the places we had planned to visit we really liked all the attentions to detail and everything we needed was there, the beds (most important) are really comfortable and good quality bedding, on our arrival after a long drive from Scotland we hade a drink in the pub two doors down and then finished off with fish and chips from the chippy just down the road and had them in the garden seating area.

Over all it's a lovely cottage, it's not 5 star but excellent value for money and would highly recommend.

Loved our stay here and are looking forward to booking again

Lovely cottage, in ideal location.

Hosts provided welcome pack and were available on the phone if there were issues. We had a problem with the boiler, but this was sorted very quickly and effectively by the hosts. Only grumble is about the state of the garden, which was an unkempt mess. This wouldn’t stop us recommending the property though.

Our 2nd visit!

!! Lovely cosy/clean property. Great SECURE garden for our ‘escape-artist’ rescue dogs

Enjoyed our stay at Dobbies Den.

The beds are so comfortable and the place was well cared for. A welcome basket if tea,a,milk and bread would have been welcome after a long journey and no time to reach a shop ( especially with the ongoing road closures ) We brought our own garden chairs but would have been nice to have them there.otherwuse a very pleasant stay.x

The dogs loved the garden.

We found the bathroom being downstairs difficult if we needed to go in the night which is just something to be aware of. We would definitely go back. A couple of sun loungers would have been nice. Thank you

A very comfortable and cosy cottage.

Only one fault springs to mind, namely the height of the bath. Although 6ft in height, I found it difficult to step into and out of the bath, owing to the excessive drop to the floor. A smaller person could easily be injured if he or she misjudged the drop. A wooden intermediate step should have been available for this purpose.

We arrived earlier at the property and knocked at the door.

As there was no answer we thought the property had been cleaned. We were going to ring the owner immediately and ask as a gesture of goodwill could we put some frozen food in the small icebox as we had been in Ludlow the previous week. We would have left then and returned after the cleaning. The cleaners turned up quite later. We did call the owner on arrival !!! As he wasn't there to see why we had complained, we got the impression he thought we were exaggerating. I did take a photograph. This is the first time we have come across this in all our years of using Sykes Holiday Cottages.The icebox had obviously been left for a couple of weeks and not been defrosted, the door would barely close. it was packed full of ice and blackcurrant spilled in it. The cleaners sorted the icebox and when we got back the fridge was turned off! I'm wondering if it hadn't been brought to the owner's notice, would this had been left again.We then found the kitchen cutlery drawers weren't very clean, the cupboard doors grubby, there was some dirty cutlery. We cleaned them ourselves and cleaned all the cutlery and the dishes. We also wiped the inside of the cupboards. Attention to detail with these cleanliness issues are important. As the owners didn't live nearby it might help if they occasionally came and checked for themselves avoiding negative feedback on important cleanliness issues. The bathroom was cold with one small towel rail. It needs extra heating, particularly in winter. The television kept freezing with a faulty signal. If these issues were addressed then the property would be given more stars. The property was on a very noisy main through road in and out of the town but did not affect our sleep. It eased off in the late evening. There was also a large building site over the road. On the positive side the beds were comfortable and the property was warm. It had a large garden at the back of the property. It was also convenient for a walk into the town. There was a good chip shop a few minutes walk from the property and a nice quiet local pub. If all of these issues were addressed at the property we would return if we were to revisit Bewdley.

Whilst the cottage was cosy and ideally situated for our needs there were a couple of issues… The downstairs Bathroom was extremely cold in comparison to the cottage…A bigger radiator/towel rail would help.

The glass shower panel water trim needs a good clean or replacing The Garden needs a good tidy TV reception was very poor and picture kept freezing Apart from the above we enjoyed staying at Dobbies Den and ‘The welcome package’ was lovely.

Had a lovely relaxing stay.

Clean and comfortable. Great location.

Had a great stay over Christmas.

The decorations & welcome pack were much appreciated. Property was well equipped and cosy. Beds were really comfy. Garden was enclosed-ideal for dogs & children. Off road parking was big enough for 2 cars. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely week at Dobbies Den.

Ideal location for us, with our family living nearby and some lovely walks on the doorstep. The dogs really enjoyed it! Hope to stay here again in the future.

Really nice furnishing.

Kitchen had everything we needed and all appliances were spotless. The garden was great for the dog.

We loved our week at this cosy little cottage with our two children and two dogs.

It’s been beautifully decorated, was very comfortable and clean and has everything we needed (we did miss our dishwasher and washing machine but we coped and it was fine!). The welcome pack was really thoughtful including bread, butter and dog treats. It was also really nice to have hair products and lots of soap and cleaning products. It’s an easy walk into Bewdley and a very easy drive to so many lovely walks. We absolutely loved the Habberley Valley circular walk and the Wyre Forest. The fish and chips from over the road were delicious. The cottage is on a very busy road so if your dogs are prone to rushing out the door you would need to take care. Our dogs loved the big enclosed garden.

Dobbie’s Den was very clean, well presented and very comfortable.

The location is great and very handy for access to local amenities. The large garden was also great for our dog and will definitely be looking to book a week next year ! Many thanks for a great stay !

The cottage is located in a great location to explore the surrounding area.

It's a 15 minute walk to the center of Bewdley. It's cosy and tastefully furnished, with a basic, dog friendly garden. It's situated on a busy main road.

We had a good stay at Dobbies Den .

We were disappointed that there was only comfortable seating for 3 adults that being a two seater sofa and 1 comfortable chair our party was 4 adults. Bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable beds . But property is on a very busy road so noisy.We had a issue with tv but was it resolved quickly thanks.

This was a lovely well equipped comfortable property near to the town centre and close to lots of tourists attractions.

It was great having off street parking and there was a lovely garden at the back of the house. The main problem we had was getting into the property. The front door was very difficult to open

Very comfortable,relaxing and clean tidy everything needed was in the cottage people where very friendly i would highly recommend this cottage for anyone especially if you are taking your dog all in all absolutely lovely

This lovely little cottage was spoiled by the unkempt condition of the garden which was nothing like in the pictures.

Also, although the bathroom was stunning the addition a of grab rail to help get in the bath would have been useful as it is rather high to step over. Another grab rail and a non slip bathmat would be good health and safety features too. Thanks

A lovely cottage, spotlessly clean rooms, comfortable beds and settee, well equipped kitchen, a welcome pack, excellent shower, soft towels and other homely touches, made our stay there all the more enjoyable.

The owners were exceedingly helpful when we had a problem with the TV. Their friendly manner and quick response was much appreciated. I would highly recommend this cottage. Jan

Beautifully decorated cottage, it was very comfortable we really enjoyed our stay.

the stairs up to the bedroom were difficult at first but once we got used to them they were fine. We would certainly stay at this gorgeous cottage again we didn't want to go home.
