The pretty country town of Upton upon Severn lies on the banks of the River Severn and boasts a variety of delightful 17th century buildings and attractive shops, including 'The Pudding Shop', along with traditional inns, cafes, restaurants and its very own museum. It also plays host to many annual festivals, including Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals, as well as the Sunshine Music Festival. This thriving small town has its own marina, a vineyard and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm, plus the town’s medieval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th century cupola, known locally as 'The Pepperpot'. Just 6 miles away is the beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern, and the dramatic Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills offer 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways, and form a 9 mile range of ancient rock. The Great Malvern Food Festival in June is well worth a visit, as are the many events at the Three Counties Show Ground and the Malvern Theatre, which welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. There are many National Trust properties, vineyards and gardens in the area, as well as outdoor activities to suit all abilities. The nearby market towns such as Ledbury and Tewkesbury have a wealth of black-and-white houses and inns. A little further afield is the Royal Forest of Dean, the historic waterfront city of Gloucester, the spa town of Cheltenham, and the unspoilt towns and villages of the Cotswolds.

The facilities were just as described and there was everything we needed. Having a door directly into the swimming pool was an added bonus and the pool was a lovely place to relax after a busy day out and about.

It was clean. All bed linen clean and fresh. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with every utensil you could need. The hist had provided washing up liquid and tea towels. The onky thing I couldn't find was dishwasher detergent but I had taken my own so no problem. There was also detergent for the washing machine. The pool was fun although a lot smaller than it looked in the photos. I had no problem as I am not tall but my husband is tall. The jets allow you to swim against the current which was interesting. The only criticism I had was that it could be warmer for the jacuzzi end. The games room was well stocked and we had a lot of fun trying to playing pool and darts. Overall we had a lovely relaxing weekend. The farm.shop was in walking distance and the town a little further but an enjoyable walk. The town is small but has everything you need. We were concerned about noise from the festival but we didn't hear it at the cottage.

Well equipped house, lovely relaxing garden, quiet, but not far from Malvern. Bonus of swimming pool and games room, would definitely return.
