  A friend and I stayed here in October and it was incredible.

  Nigel and his wonderful mother could not do enough. As soon as we arrived a personal welcome via a beautifully positioned bike with a basket of treats was waiting for us at the entrance. Nigel greeted us and couldn't be more friendly and my dog Doug The Pug was immediately made a fuss of by Nigel. The accommodation is sublime and located in a beautiful field. Immaculate inside and sooooooo cosy. It had everything we needed for our stay. Nigel gave us a some history of how this came to be and you can really see his passion in the lodge itself. Oh and it has an eco friendly sanitary system too. If that isn't enough Nigel's mum made us home made scones with fresh strawberries and clotted cream and Nigel booked us into a dog friendly pub for a beautiful Sunday lunch. Beautiful walks and lots of nature all around ... my friend Michelle and I did not want to leave. Apologies to Nigel for having taken so long to write this but bravo on such an outstanding lodge and your attentive hosting. Michelle, Doug and I can't thank you enough :)

  Malvern View Lodge delivers fully on the promise of its name - the view is spectacular!

  The lodge itself provides comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean accommodation for a couple and (for dog owners like us) an utterly brilliant setting for your four-legged friend. Our little dog would have stayed forever, I have no doubt. We stayed three nights over the new year and even some of the wettest weather on record did not dampen our liking for the lodge, the village of Wadborough and, more generally, some of the most beautiful countryside in England. Special note should be made of Nigel, our host, one of the most warm, welcoming and helpful of any we have rented accommodation from. The hamper left for us was a particularly nice touch. Special mention should also be made of the village pub, the Mason’s Arms, where again we were made very welcome. The beer was great! I would unhesitatingly recommend Malvern View Lodge to anyone looking for a tranquil stay in the English countryside. We intend to visit again in the spring or early summer. What better recommendation could there be than that?!

  This a perfectly cosy retreat for a couple ( and a dog) to get away from everything.

  In a large field by itself, it has a great view of the Malvern hills. You do need appropriate shoes to get from you car to the property (no stilettos ha ha), it is about 50 yards across a field. We stayed for 3 nights beg’ march ‘24, it was cold and raining, but the place was lovely and warm. It has been decorated and equipped very thoughtfully and we wanted for nothing. The personalised greeting on a sign when we arrived, the hamper of essentials and strawberries, cream, jam and scones In the fridge were a personal and thoughtful gift. Nigel and his mum are the perfect hosts and so friendly. Nigel is also a wealth of information on the local area and can suggest plenty of country walks with the dog. We stayed for 3 nights, but we came away so relaxed it felt like longer. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property and we will certainly be back (when it stops raining). Thank you for a fantastic stay Judy & Marc

  A fabulous retreat in a beautiful setting ideal to relax and switch off for a few days.

  Very dog friendly with an enclosed garden that was very safe and a place to wake up and watch the wildlife, we did see Deer and foxes each day. The cottage is beautiful very comfortable with high quality furnishings that were very new. The open fire was lovely especially during November but the cottage also had a great heating system too. A real home from home is very true. Many lovely walks on your doorstep or a very short drive away such as Daventry country park and Badby woods and the Holly bush inn pub very close walking distance. We also found a local farm shop in Eydon called Dodds manor farm where we bought local steaks and cooked them back at the cottage, delicious! Lucy the owner checked all was good as we arrived and was there if we needed anything but we didn’t had she had also kindly left milk and biscuits for the tea and coffee provided. Amazing cottage and we will definitely be back

  Tiles to kitchen floor cracked, loose and extremely slippery to dogs, not suitable.

  Conservatory tiles much better. Bedrooms small for doubles. Shower head not secure Front door lock difficult to lock and unlock. Conservatory door difficult to open. Cobwebs to conservatory ceiling Door nobs to wardrobes loose. Trickle vent to main bedroom window was broken when we arrived. Lots of leaves to garden that kept getting brought in to house. Some lights to garden did not work. Main bin outside full to top. 4pm late arrival not suitable, 2pm at latest would have been much more acceptable. Bed very comfortable. Tea, coffee and milk a nice touch as property is remote. Property overall is nice and peaceful but slippery flooring to kitchen prompted us to cut short our stay as one of the dogs could not cope.
