"We have stayed in nearly 20 cottages in the UK from Northumberland to Dorset. Without doubt the one in the most attractive & enjoyable setting is S41686 in Worcestershire near Tenbury Wells.S41686 is a three-bedroomed cottage surrounded by 7 acres of grounds. Occupants have free access to all that space including play areas, woodland, pond, tree house, a "bothy" (farm labourer's hut)  and hammocks. There are four or five outdoor seating areas and a barbecue.  There is a quirky, highly personal feel to the surroundings reflecting the labour of love that the property obviously is.Indoors, on the ground floor, the cottage features a well-equipped kitchen (including an Aga), six- seater dining area, a very comfortable living room and a comfortable double bedroom. There is a bathroom including a bath and separate shower. Upstairs there is a double bedroom, twin room and (tiny) toilet. Each room  continues the individualistic theme of the entire site.S41686 cottage housed 5 people (and a terrier!) very comfortably and warmly. We were welcomed  personally by the owner Eleanor with a smile and a welcome hamper including a delicious home-made cake.But the real emphasis-and the reason I would  unhesitatingly recommend S41686, is the beautiful surroundings  . Long Cottage is almost half a mile off any road. It is very isolated and commands a panoramic view of the beautiful local countryside. If you want hustle & bustle I suggest you look elsewhere! You are however within twenty-odd miles of Hereford, Worcester, Hay-on-Wye, Leominster and Ludlow. Tenbury Wells and Eastnor Castle are much nearer. Our party included two teenagers and within 15 miles drive we were able to take them to West Midlands Safari Park and the Time Machine Museum in nearby Bromyard. The ground floor bedroom was ideal for the 87 year old in the party.We were not blessed with good weather or we would have undoubtedly spent more time in the grounds. To prove how much we liked the place, we have already booked a return visit- less that a week after leaving! Do yourselves a favour- visit  S41686 before it gets too famous. You won't regret it!"

"This was a beautiful house with all the usual quality that you expect from RR. However, I think there were a couple of things that could have been clearer in the property description: the gardens/grounds are shared with the owners who are right next door and they have children who play ball games and run around. We had no problem with this but some people might have wanted something more peaceful. Secondly, the upstairs toilet is really tiny and a man can't really use it without contorting himself. Even I had to 'fold myself' into it! The bedrooms upstairs have very sloping ceilings, making them also quite uncomfortable for tall people. We were only four people from the same family but I think six would have been a bit cramped given the bathroom facilities. The owner was very friendly and greeted us with cake. The terrace is great for barbecues and the views are truly spectacular though so we had a good time."

"This property was described as being set in an area of "Common Land", and indicated a peaceful and tranquil country setting. In fact - 8 feet from the wall of the house was a B road that that could only be described as a rat run at certain times of the day - from around 6.00 am to 8.00 am and again in the evening - cars, lorries and other vehicles thundering past the property. Could not avoid the noise or the impact of the headlights on the walls of the bedrooms. The interior photos on the website make the property look light and spacious - look carefully - every ceiling light and table light is on to enhance the lighting. In fact - the property is 300 years old and has small windows appropriate to that era. And upstairs - you need to walk with a stoop if you are 6Ft tall or over. However - superb location for exploring and walking the Malvern Hills which are nothing short of spetacular."

"When staying for a couple of weeks a tumble dryer would be a welcome addition particularly at this time of year. Another suggestion would be an electric shower for the upstairs bathroom as the hot water pressure is a bit weak, just about showered the two of us but doubt hot water would stretch to more.Super off road location in a quiet village with views of open countryside and within easy access to Warwickshire and Worcestershire highlights. Several good pub restaurants in easy reach best of which we thought was the Chequers at Crowle though the Hot Stone cooked (on your table) steak at The Boot in Flyford Flavell was an experience worth trying."

"S2700 is situated in a quiet position, yet within walking distance of the centre of Great Malvern. We were able to get onto the footpath network within a few minutes of leaving the house and enjoyed 3 good walks during the week. Standards within the house were very high; it had everything we needed for the week and was warm and comfortable during a rather chilly week in March. Overall we had a very enjoyable week and would be happy to return to the area, and to stay in this property if we do."
