Byways Reviews

Heather
A beautiful topnotch property. We stayed in 2024 for a few days and loved it so much we came back in 2025 for a longer stay! Spacious, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished, lovely secure garden dog friendly and we made good use of the hot tub and games room. Lovely area with lots to do and explore. Thank you to all who look after the house for all you do. Im sure well be back again!
A lovely property semi detached in a great location for exploring the area. Plenty of room for our large party to spread out ! Good WiFi . Would have been great if there was table tennis in the games room , but the games room was still well used. Hot tub took a couple of days to get to the temperature we wanted 39c but once there was used daily . Just needed a few logs each day to maintain the temperature . The very hot weather all week helped to keep it warm. Dog friendly with a secure, fenced ,large garden for our dog . Large enough to throw a ball a long way ! . Lovely walks from the house. House very clean but some deeper cleaning at times would not go amiss skirting boards dusty for example in places, but nothing major. Would definitely return .
Byways was one, if not the best presented holiday lets I have ever stayed in. The facilities were first class and exactly as described on the website the stay wasn't cheap but proved good value for money. A representative from Madresfield Estate, the owner, was readily accessible to answer queries and to take orders for the Estate butchery. The house is well located for the Malvern Hills and Great Malvern area, with supermarkets close by. A particular pleasure was the constant supply of heat and hot water, an area where many owners fall short in an attempt to save expense. Not a criticism, more of a 'heads up', don't assume you will find a few tea bags or a crafty bag of sugar left by previous renters at the back of the cupboard as you'll be disappointed, so travel with, or be prepared to buy everything you need.
Wonderful stay thank you. Property very comfortable and well equipped, would recommend to anybody.
A lovely house in a lovely village but it lacks hanging space for clothes. Otherwise well equipped.
It was perfect. Exactly as described. Well equipped, great enclosed garden and very dog friendly. Very comfortable and loved the comfy chairs for reading and relaxing. The sausages were a great addition to the welcome pack. The hot tub was a success too. My grandsons appreciated the games room.
Nicola
This is a beautiful cottage, well equipped in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended. Everything youd need. Modernised to a high standard.
Caroline
Beautiful property, we had 5 adults, 1 child and a dog. Very spacious, well equipped house, with lots of extra. Comfortable beds and homely. A big driveway.
Gorgeous house. Very spacious with the added benefit of a games room. Everything finished to a very high standard. The welcome pack much appreciated too! Very happy here.
Byways allowed four friends from different locations to meet up for a great weekend of catching up in a very comfortable, cosy surroundings. Unfortunately Storm Darragh curtailed much opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside but we enjoyed the inside space the property gave us & had fun playing darts in the games room! We would be very happy to return on a future occasion.
We had a wonderful stay at Byways and would love to return. We were unable to use the hot tub due to the strong winds and cold weather but the maintenance team very kindly tried to help us, even coming out on New Year's Eve. The property is stunning and wellmaintained with beautiful furnishings throughout. We travelled with another family there were 7 of us in total, including two teenagers and a toddler. The property was suitable for us all. The older children loved the games room which gave them space away from us, too. There is a beautiful walk which you can do from the house httpswww.visitthemalverns.orgwalkmadresfield We would definitely recommend Byways.
This was an incredible property. Exquisitely decorated, extremely comfortable and immaculately clean. Everything you needed for a stay. Responsive and helpful communications with the owner before our arrival. Best property we have stayed in. Will be back!
Richard
Outstanding property and surroundings. The house was immaculate with beautiful quality decor and finishing touches. In the welcome pack was locally sourced produce which did not disappoint and demonstrates a true representation of Malvern and the friendly people. The maintenance team where very responsive and couldn't help enough ensuring our stay was relaxing and enjoyable.
Elizabeth
Byways is beautifully comfortable and decorated in a relaxed and contemporary but luxurious style. It has been thoughtfully furnished, creating spaces both for relaxing together and for enjoying some quiet space. The woodfired hot tub was fun for everyone, kept its heat well and was easy to use we rather enjoyed getting the fire going to quickly bring it up to the right temperature! We were particularly delighted with the location of Byways Madresfield is ideal for quiet strolls and as a starting point for longer walks with an easy 15 minute drive you can be walking up in the Malverns with truly incredible views in 10 minutes you can be in Malvern for a coffee in 7 minutes you can be at the station to take the 10 minute train journey to the centre of Worcester and you can drop in to a proper supermarket on the way back to the cottage for a peaceful evening, cooking and relaxing together. Perfection. This has been one of the best cottages we've stayed in thank you for a very special holiday
Steven
Byways was perfect in every way. I would highly recommend it. The welcome pack of bacon, sausages, eggs, milk, bread etc was really good. Our dog loved the fully enclosed rear garden. Owners were very helpful in every aspect. Will definitely be returning.
Stunning cottage in a beautiful village. Great place to explore cotswolds and malvern. Great walk on doorstep. Perfect cottage for dog loving family holiday. Really enjoyed the stay and highly recommended
Heather
Stunning property, beautifully furnished, well equipped and in a beautiful location. We loved it all and hope to return again.
Byways was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our stay with friends. The cottage was extremely well appointed, comfortable and we all loved it. The gift of bacon and sausages, milk and eggs was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. We loved the games room and enjoyed several darts matches. Perfect.
We loved our stay at Byways It is a beautiful house and perfect for a family gathering. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and couldnt have chosen a better place. When we arrived everywhere was spotlessly clean and there was a lovely welcome basket. Plenty of room for everyone, comfy beds, kitchen well equipped and the hot tub is ace. We have already recommended to friends and will definitely return.
Beautiful and stylish interior with luxuriously comfortable beds. Excellent place for family gathering with dogs. The location is great for peace and surrounding countryside but with easy access to Malvern. The complimentary sausages and bacon were delicious. We could not get the hot tub up to a high enough temperature to use even after several hours. The games room is a great addition but a bit dark, particularly above the dartboard. Overall we had a very enjoyable weekend and would recommend.
Stunning period cottage refurbished to an extremely high standard. Superb facilities, lovely extra little touches & situated in an ideal location to enjoy The Malverns. Couldnt have chosen a better venue to celebrate our first ever family Christmas away from home!
Top class! A very happy weekend. It would be a good idea to warn people how long it takes to heat the hot tub As this did not work out for us. Regards Paul.
Debbie
Property is 5 Star accommodation. The welcome basket was fabulous. The estate sausage and bacon was a bit hit with the family. Games room gave us the opportunity to have fun and then relax in the hot tub after. We took our two dogs and they even provided treats for them. We only live 50 minutes away but it gave us the time to have a chilled family break.
Deirdre
We had a lovely stay at Byways a fabulous cottage, with plenty of room for our group of 7 and lots of parking as we had 3 cars between us. Beautifully decorated and spotless. It was just like home from home, with everything you could need. The 'Welcome Pack' was amazing with local produce and some very yummy biscuits ! Would definitely recommend Byways to anyone and next time we are up this way, we will stay here again. 10 out of 10 to the owners !!
