Living with Host
A lovely double en-suite room in a unique garden apartment, right in the centre of town, within a five-minute walk of the theatre and all the shopping, eating and drinking which Great Malvern has to offer.
The lovely hills are immediately behind the apartment, with the beautiful (if somewhat steep!) walks they offer.
The room has a brand new double bed with memory foam mattress, a sofa, a desk/dressing table, coffee and tea making facilities and a Smart Freeview LCD television.
Ask for my code and you will have WIFI access. You will be welcomed with fresh flowers, fruit and biscuits.
There is a newly fitted en-suite bathroom, with bath and over-bath shower and an ample supply of towels.
The kitchen and living space is shared with me. I give you keys on arrival and you are then welcome to come and go and cook and entertain as you please. There are no house rules, other than good manners on both sides!
In good weather, you can sit on my decking in the garden and admire the views over the Severn Valley. The Malvern Theatre Digs List rates my accommodation as "highly recommended".

Kate is the perfect host and is extremely welcoming I had a wonderful stay in her very beautiful home my room was very spacious and comfortable with a lovely kitchen to cook in and only a short walk from the theatre with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops near by, would defiantly want to stay again when in Malvern. Many thanks Kate for having me in your lovely home.

Lovely, comfortable room in a gorgeous flat, and such great value. Very short walk to the theatre too!

Kate's house is really lovely and conviniently close to Malvern's main street. The room is spacious and comfortable. Kate was a lovely host as well, would definitely recommend!
18th Feb 2025
Everything was absolutely wonderful! Kate was so lovely & welcoming. The room has everything you could ask for, with some lovely extra touches. I worked long hours so the room was a perfect, quiet & comfortable retreat, yet central to everything in the town & a few minutes walk to the theatre.
The only thing to point out is that the shower is geared more towards a shorter person & I'm quite a big guy! I had to crouch to shower. But there's a lovely bath, so not a massive issue. Thanks Kate! x
17th Feb 2025
So sorry about the height of the shower Pip. I don't think there's a way to fix that because of ceiling height. So maybe I should put something in my room description. Thank you for your other lovely comments. Kate
Thank you Kate for a lovely stay. She is very welcoming and has thought of everything that you could need in your room. The flowers and biscuits were a lovely touch.
4th Feb 2025
Thank you Heather. Do come again.

A fantastic stay! Comfy, cosy, private. A home away from home. Kate is a wonderful host that can't do enough for you. Perfect digs for me!
Its a 5 minute walk from the theatre and all that Malvern has to offer.
3rd Feb 2020
Thanks you so much Megan.
Kate is a great welcoming host with a gorgeous home! Really understanding about a booking complication I had. Room is a little damp and there are some bugs but think this is par for the course in a location at the foot of a hill!
2nd Jan 2020
Cosy, comfortable, excellent location for theatre, lashings of hot water and Kate provides all you need with no fuss and the freedom to come and go as you please. A great week in lovely Malvern.
18th Nov 2019
Such a lovely apartment!! Big room with en-suite was a treat to come home to, Kate was lovely and very helpful and it was the perfect location for the theatre as well as close to the Malvern hills! Would definitely stay again, many thanks!
6th Nov 2019
Perfect host with fantastic accomodation. Comfy & good ensuite. Ideal location. (Malvern is small, but I like to stay in town rather than bottom of hill.) Walled garden with great view. On side of a big hill so expect the odd bug. Defo stay again.
9th Sep 2019
Perfect for me, near to theatre, quiet, private and relaxing. Plus plus points as was able to do some violin practice! Worried at first about the room being so light as am a bad sleeper, but it was fine. Highly recommend.
8th Sep 2019
Kate is a great host and my stay was very relaxing. Highly recommended.

Jolly nice situation near the centre of town and close to theatre. Nice landlady, big bedroom with own bathroom and use of the apartment. Comfortable stay, good value.
15th Apr 2019
Great stay. Kate very welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and quiet, only about five minutes or so from the theatre. Right in the centre of town, close to the supermarket (Waitrose), and all the pubs and restaurants.
25th Mar 2019
Lovely stay in Malvern. Well equipped, though would have been handy to have a scourer to properly wash dishes. Great having own bathroom which was clean and tidy
26th Feb 2019
Thanks Hannah. Wondered why you bought scourer! Green scourer always hangs on hooks next to sink! Wish you'd asked. Hope to see you again.
Had a really lovely stay here. Kate is very warm and welcoming. The room is spacious and the bed very comfortable. The room is perfectly located for the theatre and the post show pubs! Would definitely stay here again.
28th Jan 2019
Great ensuite room- excellent location. Kate was friendly and welcoming. Place was spotless and the flowers were a lovely extra. Kitchen is right next door to bedroom which can be a bit loud if you're sleeping but not so loud earplugs can't handle!
22nd Oct 2018
Lovely stay with Kate in Malvern! I felt very at home and comfortable! Would return if I was ever in the area again :)
Thanks Kate! X

12th Feb 2018
Excellent stay once again. Really like the room and the location is perfect.
I hope you get better soon Kate.

A lovely room in a wonderful spot. Such a warm welcome from Kate. Beautiful big bright room with great en-suite, in a lovely home. Perfect location in Malvern, right in the heart of the town and 5 mins from the theatre. Many thanks x
2nd May 2017
Felt that parts of the house were not clean enough. Had an issue with the heating and didn’t have hot water on the last day of my stay. I did not speak to the Host about these issues (tried to text)
3rd Apr 2017
Honesty appreciated.Lack of contact a real shame.Boiler issue discovered after you left.Guests can put heating on when needed, but will review.Spring clean missed due to bereavement.Rapid changeover didn't help.Sorry for anything you found lacking.
Fabulous week. Room a joy. Highly recommended.
6th Feb 2017
Room is a good size + ensuite. Have to be careful how much WiFi you use so suggest downloading any films or shows before you arrive. But great digs, location is perfect and Kate is a great host. I I'll definitely book again if I am back in Malvern.
19th Oct 2016
Extreamly comfortable room, very close to the theatre. Would stay here again

3rd Oct 2015
This is a really lovely en suite room.
Very close to the theatre and right next to the hills.
The owner is really welcoming and I would highly recommend these digs.
21st Jun 2015
Perfect Digs.
The room is like a self-contained mini apartment, tea and filter coffee available, en-suite with lovely bath, and a smart TV.
The bed is a brand new memory foam one, which after 10 mins i wasn't so sure about as I've never slept on one before, but I can say I've never slept so comfortably and now I want one for my own room!
Kate is so welcoming and lovely. Access to all the kitchen facilities. Location to the theatre is a matter of yards down the hill.
If you have a spare afternoon I highly recommend a walk up the Malvern Hill behind the flat, stunning views over the stunning countryside.
Thank you x
17th May 2015
Very nice big room with own bathroom.
Kate the host was very welcoming and I had tea coffee and fruit.
Easy walk to theatre and I would stay again.
Thank you Kate
21st Mar 2015
I had a wonderful relaxing stay in Great Malvern.
The room and en suite were a joy to arrive at on the Sunday after a long train journey.
Very close to the footpath to the hills if you're an outdoorsy type.
The flourishing touches of fresh flowers and tea, coffee and biscuits in the room are genius and very much appreciated.
Loved staying here!
16th Feb 2015
A lovely stay!
Highly recommended.
