“Lovely cottage with everything you need.”

Nice fenced off garden the dog could run-around . Two concerns The path from the gate to the door ruff and uneven needs relaying. THE WIFI was very intermittent keeps going off and only works now and then I think they should warn people about that

Sharon August 2024

“We loved the cottage.”

Super clean and comfortable with a lovely garden. It had everything we needed for our short stay. The only 'negative' was that my 6'5" husband did struggle a bit to fit in the shower!!

Helen August 2024

“Manor Farm cottage is excellent.”

An extremely comfortable cottage, really well and thoughtfully equipped to make it very easy to enjoy staying there, spacious rooms and comfy beds. As two friends staying, one of us often draws the short straw on a room with a single bed so it was really nice that the single beds are extra wide! The staircase is steep but not the worst, garden is large and secure, my dog loved it, in a lovely setting with walks on the doorstep. Quiet location with plenty of easy parking. Really wished we had booked a longer stay and would definitely book to stay here again.

“Lovely cottage central to so many places to visit.”

Enjoyed our goodies left for us bread, milk and the cookies. The surrounding land around the farm was great with the birds flying everywhere. We felt we had a relaxing break.

- Hilary, July 2024
Elaine July 2024

“It was our third visit to Manor Farm Cottage & it was as lovely as before.”

The cottage has everything you need for a perfect holiday & Alison & Toby are ideal hosts, friendly, thoughtful & lovely to talk to, but in no way intrusive. Their welcome provisions are thoughtful & gratefully received. We will be back for another stay!

- Elaine, July 2024

“Overall a good experience.”

Nice owners and good welcome pack. One downside was the path leading from the gate to the doors. It was very broken, cracked and uneven. Someone with less mobility than us would struggle to use it. I managed to trip on it as we were leaving.

- Graham, May 2024
Jayne April 2024

“We loved our time at Manor Farm and will be rebooking.”

The garden and the walks were just amazing.

- Jayne, April 2024
Richard April 2024

“On arrival, there was a wholemeal loaf of bread, a packet of honeyed oatmeal cookies on the table, tea, coffee and milk, plus 2 packets of treats for the dog.”

Very welcome and appreciated. The cottage was clean and the garden area was large enough to throw a ball around for the dog. It was completely fenced in so ideal; it was also freshly mown. The kitchen was small but had everything needed for a stay away from home. The dining area was spacious with tiled floor, so ideal for the dog's bed. Living room carpeted and with comfy chairs and sofa and a decent T.V. Bedrooms large, with decent sized beds. The bathroom was an average size. Really, the only downside was the shower cubicle, which was very cramped but the water pressure and heat were excellent. The cottage owners were on hand and friendly, if needed, but did not intrude in any way. We had a lovely week away, in a comfortable cottage, in a peaceful location that was truly dog-friendly. Thank you to Alison and Toby. We will be going there again!

“An excellent cottage, albeit it was a difficult and bitter sweet stay for us.”

Very comfortable and would like to come back in warmer weather as it was quite a cold time to visit. Great garden for the dogs - big one enjoyed it off lead but my small dog needed a lead on as she finds very little gaps! Beautiful views and walks. Directions given to the property could be better because the final left turn was not noticeable from the road as it was obscured by bushes and trees. It took us ages in the dark and ice to find the place and several phone calls as the internet went down as we were trying to call for directions. Once we got through the owner was excellent and very kindly guided us in perfectly. Even a stop at the Bluebell Pub to ask directions was not successful and not all cars have the facility to key in co-ordinates. Directions from the M5 coming south would be far better to say come off at Jct 7 and either head along the B4084 and turning right onto A4104, turning left at The Poacher and bringing you in from the other side or coming along the A38 and then turning left along the A4104 and right just before The Poacher and bringing you in again from the other side. If you are coming up from the south then directions to continue up to the roundabout and turn right onto the A4104 and turning right at The Poacher would be easier than turning by The Bluebell.

“Very nice open views from this property.”

We found the house to be a very clean traditional farm barn conversion which is well equipped. Lots of walks and towns to visit close by. We found some lovely country pubs, cafe's with good food and drink not to far away. We would return.

- Susan, November 2023

Toby and Alison very helpful. We hope to return next year

Pauline September 2023

“We would certainly recommend staying in this wonderful cottage, it was perfect.”

So comfortable and presented to a very high standard. Really quiet with amazing views which include the Malvern Hills in the not too far distance. The secure well maintained lawned garden was perfect for dogs and relaxing in. The helpful friendly owners live close by if needed

- Pauline, September 2023

“Lovely property with everything needed.”

Real home from home. Beds very very comfortable. Garden and views really lovely.

Paul August 2023

“Lovely little cottage just as described, has everything that you need, beds are lovely.”

Some nice little touches like some milk, bread, tomatoes, biscuits and dog treats left for us. My only small gripes are that the x2 single sofas in the living room need replacing as they are far too soft / no support at all so unfit for purpose, and the shower unit is very small which some people might find almost impossible to use. The hosts were very nice and not 9n top of you every day which was very nice. I am a bit disappointed with Sykes though as 2 weeks before arriving I tried to ask them if I could cancel and that they try and resell my booking dates, and that if they couldn't resell it then I'll have to swallow it, but if they do resell it charge me a cancellation fee and everyone is happy....but unfortunately they did not even attempt that so I was left with paying in full for the cottage for 1 week and only stayed in it for 3 days.

- Paul, August 2023
Carol August 2023

“Beautiful cottage exactly as described on the site.”

Alison was so helpful when we arrived. and left us some welcome goodies. Got to meet all the dogs all child friendly and extremely well behaved. The cottage is fully equipped for anyone using it. Beautiful well kept garden fully enclosed for children and pets, plenty of stuff to do in the area including a dairy farm you can visit and pet the cows. Brilliant farm shop local to the cottage with plenty of fresh local produce. Would fully recommend this cottage

“We booked via Quidco yet the discount has been declined and we are having to challenge this.”

Sykes rep on phone has never heard of Quidco so that wasn’t very helpful. Also suggested that there was a new piece of info added to briefs about EV charging. He did not take me seriously at all. The cottage was clean but cold. Beds were very comfortable. The welcome pack was very welcoming. The main problem we had was that we had recently swapped cars for an EV and there was nowhere to plug in at the cottage. The entire week was spent looking for and sitting at charging points. I appreciate that this is an odd piece of feedback but we came equipped with lead and extension but we were still too far away from a socket. Charging over night is really the only sensible option; as a new EV owner I only realised this when we couldn’t! This is in no way a criticism of the cottage and even if I had known before it would have made no difference as I had booked and paid for it before swapping the car but I think suggesting an additional category on the info from Sykes was a useful and positive reaction to the worst holiday we have ever had! To have the suggestion met with a blank response was not reassuring.

Wendy May 2023

“We had a small problem with the toilet flush & it was also overflowing at the beginning of our stay.”

On telling the owners it was sorted immediately. A lovely cottage with fully enclosed garden as stated. Had everything we needed and great hosts. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

- Wendy, May 2023

“We found the cottage very 'comfi' and warm.”

- Patricia, April 2023
Lauren April 2023

“Manor farm cottage was clean, tidy and had everything you could need.”

Such a cosy place and we were blessed with good weather over Easter weekend so spent a lot of time in the garden with the dogs. The garden is secure so was lovely watching them both run around! Beds were really comfortable, shower was amazing and powerful and wifi never dropped out. We will 100% be returning! Thanks so much!

“A beautiful spacious holiday cottage with views of The Malvern Hills.”

A very peaceful base to explore the surrounding Towns and Countryside. The hosts are close to hand, but not intrusive in any way. The holiday cottage is full of charm and character consistent with it's age. Very comfortable in every .meaning of the word. Thankyou for yet another beautiful stay.

- Hilary, October 2022
Paul September 2022

“A hidden gem!”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We were welcomed by the very friendly owners and they left milk, bread and biscuits for us on arrival, such a nice touch. The views from the cottage were spectacular and the private garden with a picnic bench was delightful. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. The kitchen was well appointed. We could not have had a better experience and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Paul, September 2022
Janet August 2022

“Lovely cottage in the heart of the countryside ,comfortable and well equipped.”

Great too for dogs as large fully enclosed garden right outside your door and although the farm building is close the cottage is very private. Highly recommended.

Coral June 2022

“Peaceful and remote.”

Lovely shower and comfy beds. Lacked a few essentials like enough electric sockets upstairs and garden furniture as shown in pictures. Dog loved the space and really enjoyed the treats provided. Path around cottage requires attention.

- Coral, June 2022

“Fantastic cottage in a peaceful location.”

- David, April 2022
Karen March 2022

“We had a brilliant week in the cottage.”

Very clean and comfortable. The beds are so comfortable. Everything that you would need. There were treats on arrival for both humans and dog. The garden was secure so Barney the dog) was able to be in the garden without worrying he would escape. Lots of places locally to visit and had a lovely sunny week. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Celeste February 2022

“We had a week booked at Manor Farm Cottage, a barn that was converted to a 2 bedroomed cottage in the 1950s.”

The view from this place was just utterly amazing. For those that know me - I don't generally like being in the kitchen cooking... but I loved staring out the window and gawking at the ever changing scenery at this place! The rooms were lovely and spacious and the beds great for a fab nights sleep. Mattress right up our alley. The lounge was also nice. It did not have an open fire, but did come with an electric one giving the illusion of burning logs. WiFi was excellent and on the very few occasions where we lost signal, we mostly had 4G or 5G at 3+ bars on our mobiles.... a game changer from previous places we have stayed at. On arrival we were greeted with a home made poppyseed bread, some coconut biscuits and a pint of milk for the humans. In a dog bowl there was a few packets of treats for the furball. Lots of pamphlets detailing activities and interests in the surrounds and neighbouring counties. Also loved that they had a few basics at hand - oil, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, sugar, some dishwasher tablets and some washing machine pods. Whether you looking for a place to spend a few days exploring Worcestershire and Gloucestershire or the Malvern Hills, or if you there for work and want a home away from home.... we highly recommend this place!

Lyn-louise October 2021

“We were very pleased with the property, very clean, equipped well, well enclosed garden for dogs and lovely owners.”

We felt the price was aimed correctly. Improvements would be more electrical sockets, to fix the catch on the kitchen door to stop dogs going through onto carpeted areas and to fit double glazed widows in the bedrooms (which were quite noisy when the wind really blew).

- Lyn-louise, October 2021
Paul October 2021

“The booking was a last minute decision to get away and relax.”

Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place. Cottage, facilities and location for walking absolutely perfect. Will definitely return.

“The cottage was lovely.”

All self contained with plenty of space. The welcome packs were great and it has everything that we needed for the first night. The beds were particularly comfortable. This is the perfect place for dog friendly families that want a base to visit the beautiful Cotswolds.

- Gerald, July 2021
Paul July 2021

“The cottage was perfect!”

It was clean with everything we needed. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dog.

- Paul, July 2021
Gail July 2021

“PLUS points.”

.. spotlessly clean, lovely outlook, very central so didn't have to travel too far, wonderful walking area for dog, lovely welcome pack which included fabulous doggie treats, wonderful shower, outdoor space brilliant... fenced off so no problem leaving the dog outside to have a run around, Alison really friendly and always around if needed. MINUS Points ... freezer very small, Television needs upgrading to a smart TV, downstairs toilet needed, toaster should be a four slice not 2 slice, we managed as only 2 of us but if 4 would be a bit of a nuisance. Saying all of the above we thoroughly enjoyed ur stay and had a really relaxing break, thank you Alison

- Gail, July 2021
