A lovely location, close to Upton, and close to the Malvern Hills. The pod was the perfect size and very comfortable for 2 with lots of outdoor space next to the river too. Very friendly hosts, and we appreciated the little touches of the note and the provisions provided on our arrival.

Wow - What a wonderful little place to stay! The setting is calm and peaceful, with a lovely view of the river. We were made to feel so welcome. The personal card, along with the welcome gifts (particularly the wine) were a lovely touch that added to our stay. The accommodation is well set out and the owners have clearly thought about the finer detRead moreails needed to make the space work. Will definitely be looking to return next spring/summer. Hide
