Treherne House & the Malvern Retreat

What to say about Treherene House and its warm hearted proprietors, Alex & Mark Soden? It’s difficult to find the words to do full justice to our experience at this lovely guesthouse near the picturesque village of Great Malvern. Let me try. Magical, relaxing, restful, carefree, abundant, pleasurable, satisfying, perfect. I could go on. Alex & Mark have a wealth of experience in looking after their guests going back decades, although they retain their youthful charm, warmth and vitality. And that experience shows. Everything down to the last detail is arranged for their guests’ optimal comfort and satisfaction. The welcome is as if you were old friends, the rooms are warm and comfortably beautiful, the breakfast is the very best and the service is always with a smile so sincere as to be disarming. And were I able to fully describe the beauty and history of the local area - with the gorgeous Malvern Hills on your doorstep, interesting and welcoming local shops to while away the hours before coffee - I could invoke famous residents of the area including Edward Elgar, Charles Darwin and J R R Tolkien to echo their praises of this beautiful paradise. A short break at Treherene House is just what we needed. As well as thanking Alex & Mark again for their fine hospitality, I take this opportunity to strongly suggest you pay them a visit. My review is easily 5-star, or every star that’s going - and I couldn’t recommend this establishment more highly.

The welcome; the decor and quality of Trherne. The Honesty of an honesty bar :) Breakfast was sublime & the room makeup was spot on. Room was warm with a great double aspect. Hosts (Alex & Mark) are charming and helpful. Late check out was a real treat. Will stay again.

Lovely place to stay Very friendly warm welcome and a lovely place to stay. Ill be back.

Top Class Accommodation Fabulous stay in this small, friendly B&B. Great welcome with tea and biscuits. Our room was lovely and very tastefully decorated, as is the whole house. Mark and Alex are excellent hosts, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfasts were delicious.

What a delightful place to stay. Easy to find and with plenty of off road parking at the front of the house. We were warmly welcomed by Alex on arrival and she showed us round and made us feel very welcome. There is a comfortable guest lounge where we sat each night after dinner and it has a well stocked bar if you fancied a nightcap! We were in the Darwin Room which overlooked the front of the house but nevertheless was very quiet. It is comfortable, spotlessly clean and has everything there that you would need for a comfortable night's stay. Breakfast was perfect, cooked by Mark, Alex's husband, and couldn't have been better. Alex made sure you had plenty of everything and it was obvious that she enjoyed looking after all her guests! Alex and Mark are great hosts and we would definitely stay here again if we are ever back this way.

Just had a fabulous 3 day stay. Alex and Mark are the best hosts. They cannot do enough for you and go out of their way to help. The house is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, and the room and beds are very comfortable. We cannot recommend this place enough, and will definitely be back.
