A lovely experience

We received this experience as a gift and we have a great 2-days away. The course was in excellent condition, we are pleased we had a buggy as we played 4 rounds in 2-days. The people in the golf club, on the course and at the hotel were all very friendly and we are already planning next years visit as we enjoyed it so much.

Sharing time with friends.

I hired 2 pods to have a special time away with ‘working’ friends. This was the perfect break away for all of us. Peaceful environment with stars at night, fire pit , BBQ, walking the Malvern hills by day, exploring local historic town and enjoying living in nature amongst the farm animals. The second night we met some like minded campers around the fire pit which added to the fun. The distance to get there was manageable from the South and on return 2 of us went by train which is only 15 minutes away. We all felt we would love to come again and do more walking and exploring.

Hilarious evening

The welcome and service was good and friendly. Good food. Actors brilliant with interesting twists. Good accommodation with delightful 4 footed ling eared neighbours. A few practical points: Entrance sign on the road hidden behind trees on inside bend - no time to turn left safely. Instructions on use of shower need to be provided, particularly with warning that water can become scalding hot.

Christmas gift at last !

This stay was a Christmas gift for us from our daughter and the actual stay was perfect , what a beautiful place and the flowers and gardens were fabulous as was the food , room , service and bar . However the actual booking if this gift was not good at all ! I rang about February time to book a date in July only to be told I couldn’t book for another 3 months as it was too early ! When I did ring on the given date I was told the date I wanted was full ! Then tried to book the following night but same thing , full up ! I couldn’t understand this and rang Red Letter Days for advice only to be told it was nothing to do with them just deal with the hotel ! A very disappointing scenario , However our stay was just what we hoped only spoilt by the unnecessary rules and red tape and lack of interest from yourselves .
