Wishbone | Luxury Self-Catering Rustic Cottage | Malvern Hills

Guest testimonials

The location of the property is exceptional. There is no need to take the car to go for walks up and along the stunning Malvern Hills. Wishbone is very cosy, set in the most peaceful surroundings and perfect for a break aimed at restoring mind, body and soul. We have been three times and we are most likely to return.

We wanted a break at short notice, and relatively close to London which is the main reason we chose Wishbone. That being said we also loved that you could go on fantastic walks immediately from the front door, could be at lovely local pub within 20 mins, and it´s the most stunning burn. We absolutely loved the cosyness, how thoughtful they´d been with all the kitchen equipment and that stunning wood burner fire.

The setting of Wishbone is magical! The character of the property, the interiors, the facilities; absolutely everything made our short break really amazing! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home.

The owners have done an excellent job furnishing Wishbone, and we had everything we could have needed so didn’t leave the cottage for two days. We loved all the snuggly blankets, and as animal lovers, it was wonderful to meet the owner´s pets! The bed was incredibly comfy and we especially enjoyed the log fire.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wishbone! The views are simply stunning, the peace and tranquility were perfect for some relaxation and the barn itself certainly had the wow factor. It is the cosiest place I have ever been and the interior design is superb. Exploring the surrounding area was a lot of fun and the scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended and we will be back! Ten out of ten!

We have stayed in a lot of properties around the UK and this was our favourite so far, it ticked all the boxes from the stunning location, beautifully furnished accommodation, fantastic welcome pack and really nice genuine owners who respected your privacy but really wanted to look after you and enjoy your stay.

What an idyllic few days - the peace we found here was a real treat. A nine mile walk from south to north along the ridge certainly tested our fitness but gave us unbeatable views. Watching the woodpeckers and squirrels amused us for hours and was a special sight. A perfect escape from the city and we´re already planning another visit. Thank you so much.

Thank you, we have had the most enjoyable time at Wishbone. It has been the perfect place to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. Everything has been perfect.

What a lovely place! The view from here is second-to-none. We live in a beautiful bit of Suffolk, but Wishbone Out-Suffolks Suffolk! Thank you for showing us this unique place.

We had the most wonderful babymoon here at Wishbone. It has been the perfect place to just relax. The cottage is oh so pretty and we have appreciated all the thoughtful details. Many thanks for a magical stay.

We don´t want to leave! What a gorgeous place to stay. Wishbone was perfect for the type of honeymoon we wanted, peaceful, beautiful and close to great countryside. We love the old fashioned yet luxurious feel to the place and would love to come back.

All I can say is what an amazing place! Thank you to the owners for our treats. Wishbone has been done up so perfectly. It is just exactly what we needed and wanted for a nice anniversary getaway. The perfect location and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Just perfect! The most tranquil and comfortable of cottages. The weekend surprise could not have been better. We know from first hand experience how challenging it can be to run a property but please keep things just as they are! Just perfect!

We came to Wishbone for our honeymoon and we couldn´t have wished for a more blissful week as newlyweds. The peace, the tranquillity, the view! Tending the log burner during a thunderstorm was idyllic, as was barbecuing on the patio during a hot sunny evening. We loved walking the hills and enjoying the spectacular views from the top, but a definite highlight was the refreshment stops at pubs along the way! Thank you for creating a slice of heaven, for the thoughtful welcome basket, and the chilled bubbles! We will be back!

What a perfect place! We so enjoyed sending photos of this gorgeous barn to friends and family to make them envious. We have never slept so well thanks to the peace and natural darkness. We just loved all those goodies you left us, including the beautiful flowers which were an inspired touch! Most of all we loved the coolness and homely feel of the cottage and the stunning view over the valley which we never tired of gazing at. Thank you again for being the perfect hosts, we will be back. That is for sure.

What can I say that hasn´t been said before? There aren´t enough words to describe this enchanting place. It´s a slice of heaven that we hope to replicate again and again. Coupled with the beautiful rolling hills dotted with sheep and cows, songful birds, and tranquillity, what more could we want? Thank you for having us to stay, we will return!

The property was absolutely stunning, we had an incredible time and are recommending it to all of our friends and family. The owners are wonderful and really make you feel welcome. You really do feel like the only people in the world while you´re at the property, what a place to get away and relax!

We had an incredible time thank you. We we´re worried in the run up to the stay that it seemed too good to be true but when we got here it was even better than we had hoped! Lots of delicious things were left for us and the property itself and the location was absolutely stunning. Thank you!

What a wonderful and memorable week in this absolute haven! Many thanks to the owners for creating this idyllic escape, it´s the perfect place to relax, kick back, and restore the spirit. We´ve explored the area and had some fantastic walks up and along the hills, lots of memories to keep us going through winter! We hope to come back again in the summer.

Absolutely fabulous! This is our favourite and best cottage we have ever stayed in, everything the website portrayed and more! The owners were perfect hosts, not sure how we follow such a good stay!

Everything was perfect! We expect a lot from Unique Homestays but Wishbone, and the wonderful owners, exceeded our expectations in every respect. Wishbone has to be one of the most magical spots in the world!

What a fabulous place to spend our first weeks as newlyweds! The barn is absolutely stunning, we love everything about it. The way the original features have been kept and enhanced sympathetically is wonderful. The throws, bedding and the large log supply for the log burner is refreshing for a rental property. The view! Just wow. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast every morning on the patio in the sunshine.

There are so many self-catering cottages in many beautiful parts of this green and pleasant land, but none where the welcome is as warm, the scene as tranquil and the views as breath taking. And none which will give us so many treasured memories.

We have had the most relaxing and refreshing holiday in a place of peace and beauty. The cottage is so homely and comforting, we looked forward to getting back to it each day. And we have already booked ahead for october half term.

We love it here! A real oasis in a busy world. Lovely to see the autumn colour´s and have savoured the peace. Thank you so much for the excellent hospitality. We hope to be back in the spring.
