Guests that stayed at this property said

Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including dust under furniture, dirty showers, and unclean kitchenware. However, some guests found the property to be comfortable and well-kept.

The cottage is praised for its peaceful rural setting, with easy access to nature trails and local villages. The location is ideal for exploring the Malvern Hills and other nearby attractions.

Guests have mixed feelings about comfort; some find the beds and sofas worn and uncomfortable, while others enjoy the spacious rooms and showers. The large dining and living areas are well-received.

The property boasts a hot tub, disco shower, and a well-equipped kitchen, but some guests report maintenance issues like broken furniture and inadequate fridge space. The open-plan space is a highlight for social activities.

Guests appreciate the welcome gestures such as prosecco and snacks, which add a personal touch to their stay. However, it's noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not a guaranteed amenity.

About this property

This is a spectacular, upside-down detached farmhouse in the village of Suckley in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a stylish, contemporary conversion of a traditional farm building that was once used in hop and grain production. Full of charm and character, the building is full of original features and with exposed oak beams inside. The beautiful design and finish, high-quality facilities and stunning rural location make the cottage a prime spot for friends and family to come together and enjoy a luxurious holiday. Step into Lower Tundridge Cottage and into its lovely, spacious entrance which leads towards four of the six immaculate bedrooms, two of which have sumptuous en-suite shower rooms with body jets and rainfall shower heads. One of the rooms on this floor is a lavish suite made up of two former oast houses; the circular, high ceilinged sections are now combined and feature a huge round bed and mosaic tiled wet-room with an impressive overhead rainfall shower, body jets and multi-colour LED lighting built-in. There is also a family shower room on the ground floor - with two separate rainfall showers and body jets in one large cubicle - and a cloakroom. A walk up the oak, glass-panelled staircase takes you towards the fabulous open plan living area with exposed feature roof trusses and a high vaulted ceiling. An original hoist wheel, once used to raise grain from the ground floor, remains as a reminder of the building’s heritage. There’s plenty of comfortable seating to relax in, a large slate breakfast bar where everyone can sit together - whether for dinner or just a glass of wine and a chat - and a fantastic woodburning stove all creating a great area to sit and relax with everybody together. The luxury kitchen area is enough to please the most enthusiastic cooks in the family with three ovens (one of which doubles as a microwave), a dishwasher, induction hob and granite worktops. A mezzanine area looks out over the living space through glass balustrades and provides a cosy chilling-out space where you can relax with a book or spend a few moments contemplating. The entrance hall provides another separate space to sit and enjoy the cottage and all it has to offer. The whole building is kept at the perfect temperature by an underfloor heating system. The first floor also boasts two family bedrooms, making it the perfect place for families with young children to come and stay. Each of these can accommodate two adults and up to 2 younger children. One has an en-suite shower room and the other is served by a chic family bathroom right next door - with a free-standing bath with floor standing taps over. Just perfect for relaxing in with a glass of wine or some bubbles…and a steam room/shower cabinet for two. Make the most of the outstanding garden when coming to stay here, there is a lawn area, alfresco dining area and a large hot tub - with lights, waterfalls, a TV, a recliner and even a built in ice-bucket/chiller - to enjoy at your leisure. Suckley is a delightful scattered village with the essential amenities for a holiday base as it also offers scenery and plenty of walks for you to enjoy, sitting on the Worcestershire Way. The charming town of Malvern is a short distance away, it has some lovely buildings as well as a good range of shops and restaurants and is famed for its theatres and walks across the stunning scenery of the Malvern Hills, said to have inspired Edward Elgar. Lower Tundridge Farm is an excellent property in the most scenic of countryside locations.

Suckley is surrounded by countryside, very close to Herefordshire and has a shop, Post Office and two pubs. The area boasts walks with the Worcestshire Way and the Three Choirs Way close by. A short drive away is Great Malvern which dates back to the Bronze Age and is on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town holds antiques fairs, markets, farmers’ markets and auctions as well as the Great Malvern Food Festival in June. The Malvern Theatre welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Fishing and river cruises are available and there are National Trust properties, gardens and vineyards to visit in the area.

    The cottage was very comfortable, clean and well maintained. It was very well equipped for a large family of 14 to celebrate a birthday with ages from 8 to 73 and 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for all, we particularly liked the large dining table and huge hot tub which we all made good use of. The kids all loved hanging out in the mezzanine above the kitchen. We walked to the next local pub off road which was very hilly and muddy but very picturesque with beautiful unspoilt views the whole way which certainly gave us a thirst. Take wellies/ walking boots. The property is quite remote but we liked that and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The nearest local shop is 10 minutes drive away so we went prepared and it wasn’t a problem. We also had a lovely Indian takeaway delivered to the property. Property would maybe benefit from a few games etc. We took our own. The owner Mo came to check the hot tub and was friendly and helpful. Everyone of our party thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would recommend a stay here.

    Having no bin bags left the kitchen slightly feeling dirty as we were piling up rubbish before transferring it downstairs. (One person bought one bin bag to put their dirty clothes in and we filled that up and re used it a few times) We needed more loo roll, especially in the communal bathrooms, as we were left short and couldn’t find anywhere open on New Year’s Day to replenish it. A few people complained that the beds might need new mattress’s but all in all, we loved staying there, and would love to come back. The house was very well equipped for cooking and hosting dinner parties. Thank you for the Prosecco and how beautiful and festive the house was decorated

  • Annette

    Having said that the property is quite tired with a fausty smell in the main bedroom - probably from the lower part of the shower which had pink bacteria. Some of the beds were quiet hard but we sorted it with cushions from the sofas. Baking trays/Pans need replacing. Many broken floor tiles. Hot tub was wonderful.
