Please note: There is a brook running through the grounds.. These four superb holiday cottages nestle on the borders of Herefordshire and Worcestershire and are located on a 700-acre estate on the beautiful west side of the Malvern Hills. Netherley Hall Estate is a family-run farm specialising in the breeding of cattle and sheep and the surrounding area offers marvellous woodland walks.

The cottages are within 15 minutes’ drive of Malvern and have panoramic views of the wooded hills and unspoilt countryside; the location is ideal for nature enthusiasts, with an abundance of wildlife to observe as well as unrivalled birdwatching.

Three of the cottages are detached, whilst the fourth one is semi-detached, and the English oak timber used to restore their interiors was felled and machined from the extensive woodland on the estate itself. The furnishings and fittings for all the cottages have been supplied by local businesses, and during restoration, the owners have paid great attention to detail.
Parkers (ref RAAP) was originally built in 1610 and is a detached, listed building lovingly restored to the very highest standard and has several items of antique furniture. Parkers Lodge (ref RAAQ) is a smaller two-bedroomed detached cottage completed in 2006 and fitted out to a very high standard, whilst Brook House (ref RAAR) is a detached, listed building dating from around 1670 and emanates a marvellous ambience. It has landscaped gardens and a terrace with outstanding views overlooking Mathon Brook. The Bothy (ref UK12100) is semi-detached and was renovated in 2019. It has a kitchen/dining room, and through the archway there is a comfortable living room with French doors opening out to a beautiful garden area, with views over the farmland and farm animals.

Attractions to visit near the cottages include the Malvern Hills, Three Counties Showground and Malvern Theatre, as well as farm shops, gardens, gift shops, picnic areas and walking trails. Fishing, golf and horse riding are also available, as well as pick your own fruit (in season). Racecourses in the locality include Hereford, Worcester, Chepstow, Ludlow, Cheltenham, Wolverhampton, Warwick and Stratford. Shop 1 mile, pub 2 miles.

Lovely girly weekend

We are just back from a fabulous stay at this property, Kim and her husband were so welcoming and made effort to pop in that first evening to check all was okay. The house is amazing and thankfully very warm. Don’t be misled when you first get there as there are definitely 4 lovely bedrooms, but two seperate stair cases. Also don’t mistake Parker’s cottage for Parker’s, it’s right behind it and you access it by entering it up the little road right beside the red postbox. We would definitely return

A relaxing stay in a beautiful and spacious house in the Cotswolds

3 generations of my family stayed in this lovely hamlet in the Cotswolds. The house was spacious, clean, warm and well laid out. We enjoyed a bbq and the table and chairs outside in the front garden are a glorious place to sit plus it's a real suntrap. The surroundings are peaceful and quiety and only the sound of the birds singing can be heard. Everything in the house was clean and beautifully presented. The host was friendly and helpful and the whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat and thoroughly recommend this property. Thank you for a such a lovely stay.

A beautiful cottage, very spacious for 8 people with a large kitchen which is well equipped. Full of character, spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming, it was the perfect for a big family celbration. The woodburner and Aga were a treat on chilly November evenings and with the underfloor heating downstairs we always felt warm and cosy in the cottage. Furnished and equipped to a very high standard, this is superb holiday accommodation which I would not hesitate to recommend. We certainly hope to return.

Had a brilliant stay here with friends. We wanted somewhere remote where the dogs wouldn’t be disturbed by fireworks and Parkers was perfect. The cottage has lots of character and is well equipped, though a few small improvements could make it perfect: there was no oven glove and a larger cafetière would have been more convenient.

Lovely cottage, lots of room and great to have en-suite to all bedrooms. Outside space is perfect but would be good to have a gate between the lodge garden by the steps to keep dogs in from both sides. The estate is beautiful and recommend walking on the Malvern Hills.

Excellent for a countryside holiday - peaceful, with plenty of footpaths; possibly better in dry weather, but that is something not under our control. It's a shame that the Cliffe Arms is derelict, but there are plenty of eating places within a reasonably short drive. We would heartily recommend the Red Lion at Stifford's Bridge and the Wyche Inn, Malvern, for meals, and at Ledbury, the Muse Cafe for elevenses. For a taste of real France, Chez Pascal in Ledbury is brilliant and we all enjoyed the venison casserole, reasonably priced below £12. Pascal likes to introduce himself to all his customers and his selection of pastries and cakes are home-made daily. With darker evenings in October, we found it best to eat out at lunchtime, with snacks/sandwiches and maybe a modest amount of alcohol in the evening back at Parkers. For a large group, take a couple packs of cards or favourite board game, although there are a few such items in the lounge. Be warned, there is a low padded doorway between the kitchen and back door area, and two of the bedrooms have low, hard, lintels [I forgot to duck a couple of times]. An ideal venue for being the last of the four couples to celebrate our Golden Wedding! We particularly enjoyed listening to the bells chiming from Mathon Church for 2 to 3 hours during their practise one morning.

Parkers is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Parkers is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage. The village itself is without a shop and pub but both can be found a short drive away. The walks around the village/estate are wonderful. . A very warm welcome was given by Louise with tips on how to cook on the Aga which were much appreciated (there is a standard oven and hob available as well). An excellent cottage for a relaxing country break. Plenty to see and do a short drive away. Definitely worth a stay.

It was a lovely place to stay for my 60th Birthday celebration with my family, very comfortable in a lovely location. We enjoyed the country walks from straight out of the property and the weather was glorious. It was great to be able sit out in both the front and back garden, had great fun with an Easter egg hunt and also a murder mystery evening with all the family. Plenty of lovely places to visit nearby, Malvern, Worcester and Eastnor Castle. Would highly recommend Parker’s especially for a family get together.

Lovely charming 17th century cottage.

Lovely charming 17th century cottage. Quite well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of toilets for our party of 6 adults and 2 small children. Would have liked a highchair but we managed without. Enjoyed cooking on the aga which also made the kitchen lovely and warm. Daffodils were out and magnolia tree in bloom and weather was great. Back garden not fenced in so dog had to be kept on lead at all times. Would definitely recommend cottage as it is one of the best we have stayed in.
