We (3 senior ladies) stayed in this lovely 2nd floor apartment within a beautiful Jacobean mansion. Set within the hills in Malvern Wells, it is perfectly located for many hill walks: historical places of interest; lots of National Trust sites and, of course, Shakespeare’s birthplace and home. The views over the hills from the apartment were stunning. It is extremely well equipped and the owners, who were extremely nice and helpful, added little welcoming gestures of fresh flowers from their garden and cupcakes as well as some essential supplies to get us started. There are plenty of eateries within a short distance and a convenience store half a mile away. All In all a great week and we’d thoroughly recommend Haslington House. We should add that access to the apartment is by stairs - 10 outside wooden ones and then once inside there are 25 concrete stairs (some curved) and a further 10 carpeted ones into the flat. We didn’t find them a problem but they are not suitable those with mobility issues.

The location is absolutely stunning, the views are beautiful, whether you climb the hills or just admire from the comfortable rooms. The beds are comfortable and huge, the heating is easy to use and we never felt cold. The kitchen is so cosy and has all amenities as well as a washer dryer, in case you been for a muddy walk. The interior design is beautiful and felt so at home here. The hosts couldn’t be more friendly or helpful and the beautiful flowers, little cupcakes and tea making accoutrements were a very kind touch and very much appreciated. There are games, books and dvds available if you find you need entertaining, but I could have spent the whole time just looking out of the windows. Of course it is not suitable for those with mobility problems but this is stated very clearly anyway. The stairs didn’t bother us, the accommodation waiting was so worth it. Malvern is a lovely town to walk round and the accommodation is not too far from the Malvern Theatres, as well as the numerous walks on the hills , you could spend weeks here and not get bored. We would also recommend The Swan Inn in Hanley Swan for an excellent meal.

Thank you to Daniel and Tim for their warm welcome and for sharing their beautiful house and gardens with us.. The holiday apartment is up stairs on the top floor with a separate entrance and with lovely decor and amazing views from every room. Well placed on the Malvern Hills with a walk to the top from the garden to spectacular panoramic views. We had everything we needed and throughly enjoyed our stay.

Haslington Hall is a great place.. It’s steeped in history. The Kitchen is well supplied And was a nice space to eat in. The bed was comfy and bedroom huge. The whole apartment has fantastic views. The bathroom is nice. The whole place has a relaxed atmosphere. The outside space with chairs and table are nice but down quite a lot of steps from the apartment. It wasn’t a space you could just pop out and use easily say for eating. You can however use the owners garden to walk about or put chairs in if you want. Although The garden was in need of seasonal attention, it’s lovely and very big, well established with a great array of plants you can lose yourself in. There is a path from the garden up into the woods which lead directly up onto the Malvern Hills. This was just fantastic. I would just trim back the plants and clear the steps a bit In the garden just to make it a little easier. (Part of its rambling charm) Although the house is a couple of miles outside Malvern town it’s so easy to get too. There is a well stocked convenience store a few minutes walk away. Overall a great place to stay.

Miss Plackett, July 2020

Haslington was wonderful house the flat had everything we could need to make are stay comfortable the views From every window was fantastic you could see for miles .. Great Malvern is a lovely place full of history , nice independent shops I would definitely recommend haslington house only down side was the steps up to the flat was a trek .

Mrs Mort, July 2020

The apartment was very comfortable and warm with everything provided for a relaxing holiday.. The views are fantastic from every window well worth a visit if planning to visit this area. The apartment is central for visiting lots of the lovely surrounding countryside and villages.

Mrs Boon, February 2020

Very helpful owners.. Fabulous accommodation - tastefully styled, comfortable with everything we needed for our weekend. Would return without hesitation.

Mrs Robinson, October 2019

September 2019

Great apartment in a fantastic location..

Mr Wilmore, September 2019

The apartment at Haslington House is the most excellent accommodation we have ever enjoyed.. It's a climb to access it, but the views over the Severn Plain are incomparable. The little welcoming touches such as the flowers, milk and delicious pastries set the tone.

Rev Morris, September 2019

August 2019

Nice, roomy, comfortable accommodation with wonderful views across the Three Counties Showground and Malvern Hills.. The `price' of the view, of course, is that you are up high, so be prepared to negotiate a steep, sharp-bended and bumpy drive before climbing 47 steps up to the property. We adapted quickly and were soon clambering up and down like mountain goats, but this is really not a property for people with mobility or respiratory problems (or - with a very steep, hairpin bend to negotiate - for nervous drivers!) The owners live on-site and provided basics like milk, tea and coffee, as well as a couple of cupcakes and a lovely bowl of freshly cut hydrangea flowers, which was a nice touch. Other than that, they are `hands-off' and seemed reluctant to provide more than basic information in a `file', so don't expect much in the way of a `meet and greet' or any recommendations for dinner on the first night. There is a very effective, fast-heating oven and a good quality washer/dryer which did (eventually) get the towels bone dry, but this was quite complex to operate, so be prepared to spend a fair bit of time combing through the manufacturer's instructions. A simple steer from the owners on the best wash / dry cycle to select would have been a great help. Overall, though, we very much enjoyed our stay in Malvern, which is a beautiful part of the country with some lovely places - like Hereford and Tewkesbury - within easy driving distance. If you're seeking a spacious property with a pretty, tiered garden and magnificent views, Haslington House fits the bill. (And, if you DO like to book ahead for dinner on your first night, we'd recommend The Nag's Head, an excellent gastro-pub in Great Malvern).

Rev De Jersey, June 2019

Firstly if you have difficulty with stairs or mobility then this is not the apartment for you, but, other than that it cannot be faulted. Set up in the Malvern Hills it has commanding views over the showground and beyond and is a beautiful setting. Closer is the owners beautiful garden which they are happy for you to take a walk around and I would advise everyone to do this. The apartment sleeps four easily and has large bedrooms and bathroom an ample kitchen and a living room with views to die for. All the furniture is comfortable and the apartment is very tastefully decorated. The owners left some flowers from their garden and some cupcakes for us and some provisions for our first night. You can walk straight from the apartment up into the Malvern hills and Malvern itself is a short 5 minute drive away. Perfect place to stay to tour Worcester and Herefordshire.

Mr Turner, June 2019

Beautiful apartment in a lovely location with so many personal touches from the owners.. Its our second stay and we would definitely stay again if we come back to the area. Comfortable and clean accomodation with huge bedrooms and plenty nearby to see and do

Mr Gunter, May 2019

The apartment was very comfortable, spacious and commanded magnificent views eastward over the surrounding area from the slope of the hills at Malvern Wells.. There were also nice touches like the welcoming cupcakes, the pint of milk in the fridge and the choc-ices in the freezer compartment. Can't fault but only praise!

Mr Bird, May 2019r

A wonderful apartment with superb views, friendly owners, excellent equipment, lovely decor and a very interesting history.. Highly recommended.

Mrs Lang, May 2019

Beautiful apartment situated in a gorgeous home in Malvern Hills.. Only 2 miles from Malvern town with numerous walks with stunning views on our doorstep. Fabulous well equipped apartment, lovely touches with fresh flowers from the beautiful garden and cupcakes to welcome us, tea, coffee & milk was available for a well deserved cuppa when we arrived. The hosts were charming and very accommodating. Lots of information about local walks, restaurants, taxis etc. We adored the apartment, it was absolutely perfect for our needs. We would highly recommend a visit. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Ms O'sullivan, April 2019

Haslington House was absolutely fantastic.. Myself and a 3 friends went to enjoy the walking of the Malvern hills, the people who we dealt with were very friendly and helpful in checking that we were okay, even leaving out cupcakes for our stay which was a nice touch. We had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend in comfort for an affordable price.

Mr Lewis, April 2019

One of the best self catering accommodations we have stayed at.. The views were particularly wonderful and the access to the Malvern walks through the back garden and woods was a joy. The owners were welcoming and private so we were left to ourselves which was perfect. I so wanted to clean the windows but they were too high! Would highly recommend.

Mrs Nicholas, April 2019

The apartment was well appointed and extremely spacious.. The panoramic views across the countryside were superb. Access to countryside and proximity to Great Malvern, an attractive town with lots of facilities including an excellent theatre complex was a bonus. We enjoyed two matinee performances during our stay. Great Malvern station provides a good link and we travelled to Worcester, Hereford and Birmingham on day trips. There is a pretty Victorian tearoom on Platform 1. Free parking in the street helps.

Miss Ellis

The location of the flat is perfect for walking the Malvern Hills.. We could head straight through the garden onto the path to Perseverence Hill. The flat was very comfortable, clean and cosy and had everything we could possibly need. The flowers from the garden and welcome cake were lovely.

Mrs Pettifer

This is a fabulous place to visit.. We have now been to Haslington House twice and really enjoyed our stay. Accommodation is excellent plenty of space and very comfortable. Love all the little touches the owners leave ready for guests arrival, flowers, milk,tea,cakes. Lots of places near to visit. The area is beautiful even in the winter months. Very relaxing holiday!

Mr Thompson

December 2018

A brilliant place to see in the new year.. There was fizz and mince pies on arrival and it was still decorated for Christmas which was lovely. Amazing views from the windows and being able to get up onto the hills through the garden was great.

Mrs Maclean

We were welcomed in person to an apartment all decorated for Christmas, right down to the wreath on the door and the Christmas tree - we were so wowed.. There was a bottle of fizzy plus water and milk in the fridge and the flat was impeccably clean and cosy. The views were amazing and the access straight onto the hill magical. It was a very comfortable stay. We stayed with our two teenage sons and it was a great apartment because it was big enough and the layout segmented enough for us to all have our own privacy and not get in each others way. The washer/dryer was a welcome bonus too.

Mrs Compston

November 2018

A warm feeling when we arrived.. Beds and living room were most comfortable. I would have preferred a walk in shower as climbing in and out of the bath at the age of 82 was an effort, But that is just my opinion. Thank you for a lovely stay in your fabulous apartment.

Mr Buhren

September 2018

The appartment is well equipt, cosy, spacious and for us from Germany very british.. We felt a bit like beeing out of time. It has marvelous views into the beautiful landscape and is surrounded by a lovely garden. We all loved it from the moment stepping in........

Mr Salmon

Very spacious accommodation.. Nice touches cake flowers. Very scenic location. Easy access to malverns and hills. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mrs Johnson

Plenty of places to drive to take the bus or walks. Nice muffins,take coffee and milk left for us . Would go back again .

Mr Risk

Love Hasslington House.. After a long weekend at Easter we couldn't wait to book a week in August. Great house and location.

Mrs Hay

July 2018

Haslington House exceeded my expectations and I would heartily recommend it.. It has great facilities including a washing machine / dryer with clothes horse and plenty of pegs, washing up liquid and soap, even a pint of milk and cakes awaited us - as well as a few store cupboard items in both kitchen and bathroom. It also had a great shower with no shortage of hot water to go round from the combi boiler and lovely, comfortable beds. We settled in straight away and felt right at home. The house is stylishly presented, including lovely fresh flowers from the garden, and it is beautifully situated; we enjoyed walking direct from the house up to the Malvern Hills with the help of a very detailed hand-drawn map to guide us through the woods behind the house. The owners seem to have thought of everything. Many thanks for sharing this part of your wonderful house.

Dr Li

We had a lovely time.. The view from this quirky flat is amazing. The house and garden is well maintained. It’s a 50 meters away from Edward Elgar’s old house. The room is spacious. Like other people who stayed there before us, we enjoyed a cup of tea and muffin on arrival. Nice little touch to show the hospitality from the owner. Malvern is a nice little town to wonder and relax. The gas lamps that inspired C S Lewis can still be seen in Malvern college and on the main road. From the house you can access the hill directly and it’s only 30 -45 mins walk to the Worcester Beacon. Ledbury only a short 15 mins drive from the house, where no homogenous shops are seen and sweet old grade I listed buildings take you back in time to meet Elizabeth Browning and John Masefield. Eastnor castle is a few minutes down the road and is sure to impress the little ones if they like fairy tales. Milk shakes and home made scones at kettle sings, Morgan factory tour... the list just goes one. We had a wonderful time to unwind and soak up the culture. Thank you for sharing the house.

The apartment is light, airy and spacious with beautiful views - the perfect spot from which to explore the wonderful Malvern Hills.. The apartment is generously equipped with everything you could need with special extra touches as well including fresh milk and cakes. Lots of information about the surrounding area provided. All very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Ms Hider

There were a few personal touches in the place which showed care and attention.. Cup cakes and ice creams awaiting us on arrival which were very welcome after a warm drive there. Flowers from the Garden left at the door to say welcome. Then left alone to enjoy our experience but with clear instructions of how to bake contact if help needed

Stayed while taking a break to explore the Cotswolds. The house is utterly stunning. With the apartment situated on the top floor, with the owners living in the rest of the property. The apartment is roomy, well appointed and has everything you would need for a comfy stay. There was a really nice touch from the owners in the form of a vase of flowers from the stunning gardens and cupcakes left out for us, as well as a pint of milk, teabags and coffee so we could have a much needed brew on arrival. There is a convenience store about 50 yards away for essentials and everything else you would need in nearby Malvern. The views are breathtaking and an absolute pleasure to wake up to. Location wise, it was a perfect base to explore the region and a delight to return to after a day's exploring. Only drawback would be that it's not really suitable if you have mobility issues, but they do state that in booking information. Cannot recommend highly enough and if we come back to the Cotswolds we'll definitely book again.

Mrs Shipp

It was such a treat to stay at this lovely house.. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and the views were fantastic. The owner was so helpful when we asked to leave our bags early and there were many thoughtful touches such as flowers, cakes and milk which were much appreciated. We could have happily stayed longer.

Mr Pettifer

March 2018

We made a very late booking and Sykes were very helpful.. Couldn't have asked for better service. A very nice comfortable flat. A touching welcome of milk for tea and also cakes from the owners. Be aware of the stairs as described in the description and also some sloping ceilings. I am just over 6ft and didn't find them a problem. Just need to be aware of them though. If we have the opportunity we will go back. Suggest you put coordinates into a satnav. Ours tried to take us on a road above the house. The drive entrance is on the A449. Coordinates: N52.08543, W002.33369. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Mr Gunter

Lovely spacious and comfortable historic apartment with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside.. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and provided an in apartment pack with history and stories about the accommodation. Direct access onto the Malvern Hills was a bonus.

Mr Muller
