The Oven House-Wyndale Living - Malvern Hills

The place was stylish and modern and ideal for a solo trip for a few days away. Hosts were very informative in the run up and post stay which was very much appreciated.

Didn’t like that there was no parking available as this meant having to park on the street and not having visibility of the car at any point during the stay. For the price paid, the amenities were lacking (great to have the pizza over and everything that comes with that) but for a short stay, the lack of tea / coffee / sugar etc wasn’t great. I would also say unfortunately, it was surface level clean as there was dust in the bath and cobwebs around the windows and above the shower head, which let it down slightly. Could some form of blinds we considered for the bathroom windows, as the estate agents park right next to the window and it felt quite exposing opening the window slightly whilst showering in the daylight? The blinds would just ensure that level of additional privacy. The bolted door with automatic light in the kitchen could do with a sign to understand what it is as the light came on every time someone walked closely.

Very trendy and well equipped property

Nothing

We were self catering so keen to have basics available. Plenty of good lighting. The view from the balcony was very pleasant overlooking school playing fields.

A few basic kitchen and bathroom equipment were not available. We made contact and requested egg cups and a bath mat (essential) also queried lidded bowls for microwave that were not available but probably helpful to have. Some of the china and saucepans were a bit greasy so needed washing. Dusty floors in corners of bedroom. Otherwise all tidy and clean.

Location was excellent and one of the main reasons that I booked the accommodation. I loved the attention to detail throughout the property, very well thought out. Pizza oven was a nice little touch and the outside surrounding views were amazing of the Malvern Hills to the side of the property.

I didn't realise the bathroom was not on the same level as the bedroom, which is not convenient during the night. In addition there is no window covering on the landing window, which overlooks the sports ground that you must pass in the night to to get to the toilet and have to put the lights on. This felt like you was exposed, even more so when security were on a night shift sitting right outside the property! I would suggest to overcome this that hosts put some kind of covering to windows. In addition during my first night, there was an altercation between a local resident and someone who was speeding around the sports field. Who was very angry as he claimed it was happening on a regular basis. This made me feel uncomfortable as a female solo traveller. Furthermore upon entering the property I noticed cobwebs, dust on the floor throughout, as well as hairs on plates, which was very off putting. Which I didn't expect given the price that I paid to stay, maybe this would have been acceptable if I have had paid a lot less, however that said these are the basics you would expect.
