I travel to the area for work fairly regularly and always try to stay at the Old Croque. Ruth is always so welcoming and makes you feel so at home. If only I could find somewhere equally as good in other parts of country I would very happy. Stay here for work or leisure, you would be hard pressed to... More

Lovely B+B with a warm welcome. A fabulous view from the room and the Landlady was most welcoming. We were staying over on a visit to friends and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommended. Easy enough to find and conveniently located for travel to Malvern and beyond.

1 - Cake and tea on arrival was the best welcome to a B&B we've have ever had! 2 - Breakfast was huge, tasty, (could be healthy if you have self restraint), just brilliant...yes the sausages and bacon are delicious as I'm sure has been previously mentioned. 3 - Ruth was a fantastic host, always happy to have a chat,...

Would thoroughly endorse the 5 Star ratings given by other reviewers. Ruth looked after us with great care and warmth and by the end of our short stay it... More

We have stayed here many times, it is like going home. The welcom is second to none. Tea & home made cake in the sitting room on arrival, lovely en suite room and Ruth's famous breakfast. Ruth and Ian go the extra mile to welcom their guests. There are many places of interest in the area and a theatre that... More

I only stayed one night on a business trip, yet Ruth could not do enough for me. An open fire in the sitting room was the perfect relaxing setting for a cup of tea and slice of cake on arrival. The room was excellent, the bathroom both spacious and pristine throughout. The shower was hot in both late afternoon and... More

One of the nicest and friendliest places we've stayed in. Ruth is a wonderful friendly host who makes you feel so at home. The room was beautiful and the breakfast delicious. We will definitely be back but next time for a longer stay. Thanks Ruth!

Had a lovely time, Ruth the host quite simply with the most. Ruth is one of life's gems to be enjoyed. Went above and beyond time after time including lifts to the station. Lovely house and the views are awesome. Easy access to walk to the hills and the views are stunning at the top, only takes half an hour.... More
