Sitting in the back yard, watching the chickens, listening to the river run past was so relaxing. The hectic, "on holiday" mode was replaced with peace and relaxation. There's a grocery store nearby, so it was nice to make a salad and eat at "home." We would definitely stay here again. ##### Linda S.

It had everything I wanted/ needed for a wonderful time,& the whole place was thoughtfully laid out. The bedroom had a king sized bed in a nice sized bedroom with a built in wardrobe, good bedside lighting, there was a great kitchen & bathroom both well supplied with thoughtful touches, great counter space, and storage. There was starter coffee,tea creamer, etc when I arrived, the owners even brought me fresh eggs from their chickens 1 week! They were the perfect mix of friendly while allowing me as much privacy as I wanted. The shared Yard; with a gazebo,the river flowing along the back of the property, chaise lawn chairs, a few respectful chickens and 2 of the sweetest dogs ever(only out on leash unless I requested they stay out with me) it was heaven. They had area brochures out 4 me, answered all my questions and even told me about some things in the area to see that I might have overlooked (IE the only pub with a National Trust Plaque), a forest a 3 minute walk away to explore, and lots of area walk brochures, which I took full advantage of. I even made a few friends & we did some great long walks. So a fabulous place, and the village & area was so lovely, The Cotswold's were a close drive and there were many other spots close by to see.(u do want a car) I will be back again the next time I come to the UK! ##### Susan E H.

The house is very comfortable and we slept very well indeed It is calm and quiet and well equipped. The owners are very helpful and friendly, but not invasive. All the check in information was very accurate. The welcome pack included fresh milk, coffee, tea etc, very handy for a late arrival. The town is delightful and has everything you might need or want, and our hosts provided advice and guidance on places to eat and things to do. There are good paths around and it is an easy walk into the town. We would thoroughly recommend this for a short break. ##### tim d.

Lovely hideaway to recharge our batteries, but with so much to explore within a short distance. Alcester itself has lots of old world charm, and that's easily within walking distance. Stratford is also within a short drive away. All in all, this is a really lovely little property. It has everything you could want. The superking bed makes for a really good nights sleep. Wi fi & sky (huge) tv complete the perfect package. We weren't able to make use of the garden or river views as it was the first snowfall of the winter ( Nov 24) but in warmer weather, this would be the "icing on the cake". Can certainly 100% recommend. monthd. charm ##### Janet A. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verity W. 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A beautiful place to stay! Caroline and Paul were so friendly and welcoming.Spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need!We had a lovely, relaxing break, the bed was very comfortable and the cottage was warm and cosy.The surrounding area was beautiful and it was nice to be close to Alcester so we could just wander down and have a meal and a little wander. ##### Verity W.
