Many thanks Richard. It was a delight to share in your evident joy this weekend, surrounded by friends, gamers, and um, dead bodies. We really look forward to the group returning.

A delightful home from home. Super comfortable, relaxing and wonderful home cooked foods supplemented with chutneys, jams and sweet treats. We had a love stay with friends who were keen gamers and also enjoyed a murder mystery weekend.. the garden is absolutely lovely with surprises galore ( including a tiger). Lots of space to spread out. Would definitely recommend. Will be returning. Thanks you Elizabeth and Kevin.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure to have you all here this weekend and look forward to you, and/or the whole group, returning in the future - with or without dead bodies littering the place. Glad you found the tiger. Quite a few people don't make it past the dragon...

Elizabeth and Kevin have created a lovely environment at the Dell House. The rooms are attractive and comfortable, the food is homemade and the grounds are extensive. Nestled by the Malvern Hills and within easy reach of Great Malvern, it is a excellent holiday venue.

We went for a brilliant weekend murder mystery, staged by Death on Demand. Previously, we've been to evening mysteries but this was a much more immersive experience. The Dell House is a perfect setting for this, a comfortable and elegant house with room to relax and a garden to admire and envy. Elizabeth and Kevin, the owners, are warm and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. What's not to love? Not going to be our last stay, we hope.

Just returned from a fabulous weekend away at Dell House! We went for one of their murder mystery weekends. The mystery script was very well crafted, supported by excellent actors and held in a venue that complimented the 1920’s script, leading to a very immersive experience . Kevin and Elizabeth were superb hosts and the ambiance was spot on. It was a treat to dress up in costume and pretend to escape to the 1920’s. We have never been to a weekend murder mystery before and left full of praise for the whole weekends set up. We will definitely return for future murders!

Hi Amy, very many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We're so pleased that you enjoyed it so much, as did we, and we look forward to welcoming you back to a new crime scene, maybe in September or June/July next year. (For the benefit of others reading this, we at the Dell House provide the accommodation and catering; the murder mystery performance is delivered by four actors from Death on Demand Murder Mysteries).

Just returned from a weekend of board gaming at Dell House. Elizabeth and Kevin were wonderful hosts who taught and even joined us for games. It wasn't one of the bigger gatherings they offer but they very helpfully coordinated a weekend to suit 3 separate groups of people and brought us all together for a fun and relaxed weekend. The accommodation was perfect and the food provided was lovely. Would definitely recommend checking Dell House out either for games or to enjoy the wonderful surroundings. Will very likely be back again!

Enjoyed our stay at The Dell House - 2 nights during the VW Busfest event at the Three Counties Showground which is a short walk away. Kevin and Elizabeth were very welcoming and informative throughout. Breakfast was great and there's pub food a short walk away. Would definitely return again in future.

We had a fantastic long weekend stay here with friends for lots of board game playing (great selection and space for playing), with the added bonus of being right on the doorstep for wonderful walks in the Malvern Hills. Kevin and Elizabeth were exceptional hosts, from start to finish they gave us brilliant service, from helpful advice (board games and the local area), tasty food and drink throughout the day (homemade delights aplenty) and in general the accommodation was top notch and sustainably run. Especially their beautiful garden with a great selection of sculptures, so much fun to explore and amazing seeing the craftsmanship. We can highly recommend a stay here and look forward to visiting again in the future with the same friends or other friends and family. Thank you so much for all your excellent service. All the best.…

This is the third time I've stayed at The Dell House, with a group of friends for a board gaming weekend. Once again Elizabeth and Kevin were superb hosts: catering for the wide variety of dietary requirements our group had, being on hand to explain new board games, and chatting with us about the house's history and beautiful gardens (wonderful sculpture trail!). It's also a great setting for walks up into the Malvern hills. I rarely have weekend breaks away from home, but I know that every time I go to the Dell House I'll have a great time. Huge thanks to Kevin and Elizabeth for their friendly and welcoming accommodation.
