We live in a wonderful Victorian Gentleman's residence - 'Salford Lodge' dating from 1898. We are slowly breathing life back into over time with careful renovation to combine period features as well as contemporary living.
We have two rooms listed - this Dutch blue styled European king sized (1.6m wide) double bedded room on the first floor of the house with sole use bathroom (bath, shower, whb and toilet).
There is also listed separately a Scandi styled Emperor bedded double room listing located in the attic and on the second floor with sole use bathroom (shower, whb and toilet).
Our home is situated on what is described by estate agents as 'the premier street in Great Malvern' with stunning views to the beautiful Malvern Hills. We are just six minutes walk from Great Malvern train station and around a 12-15 minute walk to the Malvern Theatres - this centrally and well positioned home is open to you as your home during your stay. We are on a good bus route to town as well as to Worcester.
There are plenty of facilities nearby - with a small Co-op store, restaurants, takeaways, pharmacy, off licence all within easy walking distance as well as a cash till (less than 2 mins).
In Great Malvern (ten minute walk) there is a Waitrose, a range of banks, chain restaurants such as Prezzo, Ask, Wetherspoons, coffee shops including Costa and Nero's or we can recommend any number of good local individual and independent pubs, eateries, bookshops and other places to visit.
Accommodation
You are welcome to stay in the lovely double 'Dutch blue' room (decorated to reflect our time living and working in The Netherlands) situated at the back of the house - with own bathroom which was newly fitted and decorated in spring 2022. With separate walk in shower, double ended bath, wash hand basin and toilet. This is for your sole and exclusive use. You will have a Euro King sized bed (160 x 200cm) with a comfortable IKEA mattress.
There is a built in wardrobe, dressing table, chest of drawers, bedside tables and a small sofa.
Kettle, Nespresso machine (with pods) and mini fridge in the room - tea, coffee, milk provided.
Additional touches for your stay in the blue room include a hairdryer, toiletries in the bathroom and USB charging points in bedroom sockets.
There is a 'mini gym' in the house which we set up in lockdown - it has a treadmill, Nordic ski-walker machine and gym mat, kettlebell etc. You are welcome to use this.
We also have a Baby Grand Piano - which you are welcome to use.
Feel free to use the kitchen - with oven, hob and microwave and a fridge freezer.
Please note there is a cat in the house - Freya - she will join you in your room if you leave the door open - if you are not keen on this - just close your door and she will leave you alone.
For some fresh air - feel free to use the rear garden with lots of lovely mature shrubs, fruit trees and benches as well as a Sandi cabin with seating which you can use-just ask for the keys and how to access it.
Wifi is available and there is off-road parking for one car and free parking on the road immediately outside the house is always plentiful.
A simple continental style breakfast is offered - a range of breakfast cereals, juice and toast and jams - this is on a 'help yourself' basis. We can cater for GF diets if we know about this with a weeks advance notice and can also get milk alternatives in for you - again if we know with a weeks advance notice.
Please note that we cannot have fish and shellfish in the house due to a severe allergy - sorry!
We are happy to help with lunch/dinner reservations, suggestions and recommendations.
Caryn is a volunteer town tour guide so if you would like a personalised 1.5-2 hour tour of Malvern covering the Victorian heritage, famous visitors and the famous Malvern water cure we may be able to arrange something given enough notice on the weekend.
Please note that usual check out time on last day of stay is 10am as we often have another guest arriving the same day and we need to clean the room for their arrival-we hope you understand!
Check in time is usually 5pm but if you would like to come earlier, then contact us in advance and we will always try to accommodate it if we can.
