This is the first time we have rented a cottage for a second stay, after deciding to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary in Prospect Cottage (previously staying there in 2022). We were not disappointed as we had a lovely stay again in this lovely cosy cottage. Prospect Cottage is spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Wonderful views and lovely walks direct from the cottage. Many thanks to the owners for letting Prospect Cottage to us......we may very well make it a hat trick soon!

“Prospect Cottage is a delight - comfortable, extremely well-equipped kitchen and a luxurious bathroom.”

It is ideally ideally positioned for exploring the Malvern Hills and surrounding area. This was our fourth visit and I'm just about to book it up again for next year!

- Barbara, October 2024
Antony September 2024

“A fantastic cottage in an ideal location with stunning view.”

The best cottage we have ever rented, so good that we have already booked for next year. Everything has been thought of and covered.

“Our second stay in this lovely cottage - and it won't be our last.”

So welcoming, beautifully presented and well provisioned. You don't want for anything. The gardens, and the surrounding area are there to enjoy, as are the local towns, villages and amenities. Thank you again, Geoff and Glynn for being so generous to share it.

- Leslie, August 2024
Anna August 2024

“Lovely cottage that has all the comfort you need.”

Thank you to the owners for the lovely welcome pack and information shared prior to our stay. We have two dogs and loved the local nature reserve for off lead walks. Plenty of other walks nearby which we tried. The Oak Inn at Staplow is great for food and dog friendly. Only minor addition would be access to a small vacuum to keep up the high standards.

- Anna, August 2024
Leslie July 2024

“Really a top class cottage, well equipped, comfortable, welcoming and beautifully curated.”

A real pleasure to stay there.The kitchen is a cooks dream - even has a garlic press and olive-stoner! And there are fresh herbs just outside the door. There are walks from the door, and a nature reserve (dog friendly) not far away. Gt Malvern, Ledbury and Worcester worth a visit too. Thank you to Glynn and Geoff for the hospitality, and being willing to share it.

“Gorgeous! Beautiful cottage.”

Immaculately decorated and designed. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

- Andrea, June 2024
Shane June 2024

“Prospect cottage is a beautiful property with stunning gardens only matched by the magnificent views.”

Every need has been anticipated. It is as if the owners have stepped out asking for you to take care of their home. I cannot recommend this property enough.

- Shane, June 2024

“Lack of handrail on the staircase.”

Health and safety. Accident not only waiting to happen, I slipped on the bottom step and have a very bruised and painful lower back. No instruction booklet/leaflet about the property and surrounding area.

- Jennifer, May 2024
Janet March 2024

“We loved Prospect cottage.”

Had a fabulous relaxed break with our 2 dogs. We were cosy and comfortable. The decoration and little touches were gorgeous. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. And then the garden!! A lovely sunny spot and beautifully planted and maintained. We were lucky it was spring so each day new flowers and bulbs were emerging. We would highly recommend!! Thanks

- Janet, March 2024
Bryan January 2024

“Prospect cottage is all you could ask for a real home from home and the welcome hamper is a really lovely touch with all the necessities you need even a jar of treats for your dog.”

I would recommend it to anyone 5 star.

Julie November 2023

“Absolutely stunning cottage in a fabulous location.”

Spotlessly clean and one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in. The owners had literally thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable- lots of nice touches such as fresh flowers, handmade soap and a fabulous welcome hamper . The only “better ifs” are minor - we would have liked access to a vacuum as we were there for a week and also a guest guide with instructions and hints and tips would be helpful, however the owner did call in advance and gave us lots of helpful recommendations . We would highly recommend and would definitely return, we were there in November and the weather was kind but in warmer weather it would be lovely to sit in the garden with a glass of wine and a bbq

- Julie, November 2023
Charlotte November 2023

“One of the best cottages we have been lucky to find !”

Beautifully furnished , had everything we needed and very comfortable. Wonderful setting and so well placed to enjoy and walk the Malverns.

- Charlotte, November 2023
David November 2023

“Fantastic cottage!”

Superb welcome pack! Will most definitely recommend staying here. 10/10

Barbara October 2023

“Our third visit to this delightful cottage.”

It is just so clean ,comfortable and well equipped (best kitchen I've ever come across in a holiday cottage), and makes an ideal base for exploring the Malvern Hills and surrounding area. I expect we will be back next year.......

- Barbara, October 2023
Lyn September 2023

“A superb cottage in a great setting.”

Fantastic!

- Lyn, September 2023
Paul September 2023

“One of the best appointed holiday lets we have ever stayed in, not only was the property perfect for our needs, well equipped and presented but the location was too!”

From the welcome pack on arrival (which Geoff personally made the extra effort to alter as we are both non-drinkers) to the supremely well kitted-out kitchen, bathrooms and without doubt THE most comfortable bed either of us has ever slept in! Outside is a lovely little courtyard for sunny morning breakfasts and down the garden a decking area for evening relaxing watching the colourful paragliders lazily passing overhead. Stunning view across to the Cotswolds in the distance make for some great photo opportunities too. The location was ideal for exploring the Malvern's and surrounding areas and only a mile from the Three Counties Show Ground should you time your stay for one of the many events that go on over the year. Based at the foot of the Malvern Hills themselves it is ideally situated for keen walkers, dog owners and mountain bikers, just a five minute walk up the road and you're on the trails up the hills for what are some of the best views anywhere. We have had the best two weeks hear and could have stayed longer, no hesitation in recommending Geoff & Glynn's lovely cottage to anyone!

- Paul, September 2023
Julie August 2023

“Simply the best!”

We had a wonderful week staying in Glynn and Geoff's beautiful cottage. They have thought of everything needed and it was beautifully presented and decorated, with a pretty garden, but also really dog friendly. Such a great location with walking onto the Malverns from the door and lots to do in the local area. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this really was among the best. Thank you for a great week.

- Julie, August 2023
Adrian July 2023

“A really special place to stay - extremely well equipped and the standard of the fittings generally exceptional - e.”

G. sinks, showers, cooker, etc. The only thing that fooled us for a day was the "games under the table" note! But we did find them eventually!!. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable - so, too, the upstairs bathroom. A more prominent note giving wifi details would have helped but this was not really a problem. Would have spent more time in the garden if the weather had been better behaved!! All in all we couldn't fault it, so thank you Glyn and Geoff.

- Adrian, July 2023
Julie June 2023

“This Cottage is one of loveliest places we have stayed.”

Very dog friendly and relaxing if that is what you’re looking for . So clean and comfortable the garden and views are amazing too. Cottage has all the facilities you could possibly require . Walks on your doorstep and plenty of places to visit and explore . We would love to return in the future. Thank you to the hosts very approachable and friendly.

- Julie, June 2023
Debra March 2023

“The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well equipped.”

The owners had ensured everything we'd need was available. The welcome gift featuring regional produce was a thoughtful gesture and greatly appreciated. The area is fantastic, close to National Trust properties and being so close to the Malverns there are walks on the doorstep. We had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

- Debra, March 2023
Mrs Reeder November 2022

“Gorgeous cottage, beautiful throughout.”

Lovely fixtures and fittings. Unfortunately central heating boiler broke down and took 2 days to repair, therefore no heating or hot water, not recommended during an extremely wet and cold November. Apparently we found out this was an ongoing problem and had not been corrected prior to rental. Also check the garden, as this was definitely not dog-proof. Holiday terminated early due to these problems.

- Mrs Reeder, November 2022
Andrew November 2022

“Fantastic stay at Prospect Cottage.”

The cottage was immaculate and well stocked. The owners obviously take great pride in this property. Lovely location with beautiful views. Very dog friendly with walks on the doorstep (St Wulstans recommended). Will hopefully be returning in the future.

- Andrew, November 2022
Barbara October 2022

“This was our second visit to this delightful cottage, and it was just as lovely as last time!”

I'm sure we will be back again next year.

- Barbara, October 2022
Fiona October 2022

“Fantastic homely cottage.”

Well equipped with pretty much everything you could want. Lovely, cosy and spotlessly clean when we arrived on a chilly autumn day. Thank you for the great welcome pack very much appreciated.

- Fiona, October 2022
Heather September 2022

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location with walks on the Malvern hills straight from the doorstep.”

Amazing views from bedroom and dining room and the beautiful terraced garden. Great place to relax and explore the area.

- Heather, September 2022
Sharon August 2022

“Beautiful cottage, felt like home with lots of personal touches.”

Fresh flowers in every room and doggies treats a lovely extra. Would highly recommend this property and would love to come back some day.

Lovely garden and terrace with smashing views. Very dog friendly and lovely welcome pack, with thoughtful little touches like dog throws and shampoo! Would recommend to anyone..,.

- Catherine, July 2022
Alison July 2022

“Beautiful little gem of a cottage!”

! We were blessed with perfect weather. Not TOO hot as had 2 dogs. The cottage was quite cool due to orientation. Wonderfully decorated and appointed with quality fixtures and fittings. Lovely garden too.

- Alison, July 2022
Alan June 2022

“Wonderful holiday.”

The only suggestion we would make is - have the living room facing the back garden - have the dining room facing the front.

- Alan, June 2022
Jane June 2022

“One of our best holidays.”

Lovely cottage and good location. Very dog friendly. Would recommend to friends and family.

- Jane, June 2022

Badly need a handrail. Apart from that a lovely stay!

John March 2022

“We had a fantastic holiday at Prospect Cottage.”

The property is exceptional, from the owners attention to detail, to the location. Everything we could have wanted in a holiday cottage was provided. Beth our springer spaniel especially enjoyed her stay, with early morning walks up Black Hill. Thankyou to you both.

- John, March 2022

Really good to know that you have enjoyed the cottage as much as we do. Glynn , Geoffrey & Zola Property Owner
David March 2022

“We really enjoyed our holiday staying at Prospect Cottage.”

My wife I must say is very fussy with cleanliness and she could not fault how we found this cottage. All the equipment was first class including very good Wi-Fi access. Thank you for the Welcome tray. We would definitely like to return one day.

- David, March 2022

So pleased to hear that everything worked out for you. We would be only too pleased to have you back. Kindest regards Geoffrey and Glynn Property Owner
Michaela February 2022

“Glynn and Geoff have a beautifully decorated and comfortable home.”

They were very generous with goodies left and lots of firewood. They had an outdoor hose for cleaning my dogs and were genuinely hospitalable to my furry friends. The views on a clear day were great and the garden a pleasure to be in.

- Michaela, February 2022

We do our very best to make everybody feel welcome - especially our well behaved four legged companions. Zola would be very happy to welcome you back. Property Owner
Ian February 2022

“Beautiful cottage, clean, very well equipped and well situated.”

It felt very homely. Lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. Flowers in the lounge and dining room a really nice touch. We would definitely stay again.

- Ian, February 2022

Pleased you felt so at home. So happy that you would consider a return visit. Zola thinks it's a dogs paradise! Property Owner
Jonathan January 2022

“I can honestly say that we have never stayed at a better self-catering cottage.”

The owners must work in the hospitality industry, because even the smallest detail was taken into consideration, from the selection of local beers and wines in the larder, to the hamper of eggs, milk and other sundries on arrival, to the perfectly pressed white bed linen and towels, to the individually rolled squares of newspaper to assist with lighting the stove. The decoration and standard of fittings are faultless. It is a warm, supremely comfortable cottage with tall views of the sunrise from the bedroom, and the Malvern hills just a few steps away from the door. We could not have asked for more. Thank you Glynn and Geoffrey!

- Jonathan, January 2022

Just great to know that we appear to have got it right - even down to the sunrises - for which we can't really take the credit. Property Owner
Judith January 2022

“We’ve had an excellent week in this cottage.”

It is characterfully colourful and immaculate. The hosts generously provided a welcome tray which included many local products. There was a full basket of logs for the fire which we used each evening. The kitchen is a cook’s dream, very well equipped. In the warmer weather there are places to eat in the pretty sloping garden. The sunrises from the east facing bedroom and dining room were spectacular. We would happily return to this area, the Malvern hills are a short walk from the door.

- Judith, January 2022

Hope to be able to offer you accommodation again some time - you would be more than welcome. G,G & Z Property Owner
Darren December 2021

“We would like to let you know what a wonderful stay we had at the cottage.”

A beautiful part of the world and even more so was the amazingly presented cottage. We loved it and hope to return someday. It was even better than anticipated. We thank Geoff/Glynn for the welcome pack and welcoming for the dogs made it even more special. A less of a worry, knowing they had some of their own! Was just a perfect way to see in the New Year.

- Darren, December 2021

Hope 2022 goes as well for you as it appears to have started! Geoffrey, Glynn & Zola Property Owner
Caroline December 2021

“A wonderful cottage.”

Tastefully decorated , cosy and comfortable. Extremely well equipped and in a lovely location. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely return.

- Caroline, December 2021

So pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay and looking forward to welcoming you back. Happy New Year - Geoffrey & Glynn Property Owner
Naomi November 2021

“This cottage was an absolute delight in every single aspect.”

It was immaculate, cosy, in a quiet location but within 5-10 minutes of hills, shops and cafes that, nice as they all were, took some motivation to get out to, given how absolutely wonderful it was to stay snuggled up inside with the well stocked treats and wine that was a really nice surprise on arrival! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this as a 5 star place to stay away.

- Naomi, November 2021

Thank you so much Naomi - it means a lot to us that you felt so at home - and that Pablo got back to you safely for Christmas! Property Owner
Heather November 2021

“An absolutely stunning house with high quality design and finish.”

The cleanest and best equipped holiday cottage we have rented. Lovely view of the sunrise, and the garden was good for us and the dogs who much appreciated all the dog friendly facilities and extras and also the walk along the edge of woodland pretty much from the door. Near to the hills and interesting towns such as Ledbury and Upton.

- Heather, November 2021

Thank you so much Heather - so pleased to hear that our regime appears to be holding up! Didn't we tell you that the dogs would have the best time. Your hosts - Zola, Glynn & Geoffrey Property Owner
Colin November 2021

“A wonderful, comfortable cottage, beautifully refurbished and equipped by the owners with great attention to detail.”

The location is quiet with a lovely terrace, garden and views across the vale. Direct walks up to the Malvern Hills from the front door whilst shops, pubs and restaurants are a short drive away. We really enjoyed our time at Prospect Cottage.

- Colin, November 2021

Thank you so much Colin - so pleased to hear that you all had such a good time in Malvern Wells - sounds as though you made the most of it. Hope you promised Oscar a return visit. Regards, Geoffrey, Glynn & Zola Property Owner
Barbara October 2021

“A fabulous cottage - comfortable, spacious and the most well equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a holiday let!”

The view from the bedroom window is wonderful, and there are plenty of choices for walking nearby, some direct from the door.

- Barbara, October 2021

Very kind of you Barbara - you obviously made the most of the kitchen - I trust everything turned out scrumptious! Regards G & G Property Owner
Kerry October 2021

“Really lovely, comfortable, cottage, beautifully decorated with just about everything you might need for a cosy, relaxing stay.”

The owners have paid a lot of attention to detail. Fabulous location at the foot of the hills. Could not have asked for anything more

- Kerry, October 2021

Sounds as though you were really in tune with the place Kerry - great to know it all worked for you. Regards G & G Property Owner
Emma October 2021

Perfectly situated by the Malvern Hills and with super views Great for walking and lots of good places to eat out in the area.

- Emma, October 2021

Thank you so much Emma for being our first guests. We love our little cottage and are thrilled to be able to share it with people who really appreciate what we and the Malvern Hills can offer. Glynn & Geoffrey Property Owner
