I'd go back again and would recommend it to others who want to explore Worcestershire. Lovely view from living room, saw lovely sunset. Easily reached Evesham and Pershore don't forget to visit Avoncroft. .

The apartment is very spacious and light. Very large main bedroom that leads to the bathroom and single room. This layout was perfect for us and our young family as we were close by. The main bedroom is big enough for a cot bed by far with plenty of room for playing, toys and suitcases! The kitchen is well equipped, it had everything we needed and more and when we first walked in we were greeted by tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and sweets for the children...they were useful whilst unpacking! The hosts were so welcoming and couldn't do enough. On arrival they made sure we were happy and knew where everything was. They even offered us a high chair and cot bed for use, this is worth knowing if you have a small car! When they met our children they were so good with them and even ran off to grab us some toys which were so welcome on early mornings. The village is beautiful and there is a great park just short walk away which we could've spent all day in as there is a tree house and spinning sit in ride which was hilarious. The village is half a mile away from Fladbury and we walked there along the river and down to a weir. We were recommended the Chequers pub in Fladbury but it wasn't serving food; we walked over to the weir anyway and it was stunning. We visited Pershore which is great for village shopping and they have a useful Tesco Express. We also went to a pub called The Plough, a short taxi ride if you need it, which does an ok Carvery with veggie options-it also has quite a good wooden play park which is suitable for younger and older children. We had a brilliant weekend and would recommended this apartment.

Tracey and Neil are a great friendly couple. Apartment is absolutely gorgeous. Everything you need is there. They've thought of everything. Home from home. The welcome tea and coffee (and biscuits) to the sweets in the lounge. Towels and loo roll to washing up liquid. Nice touches to the room. Cannot fault the place. Highly recommended.

This cute 2 bedroom apartment has everything you need for a short to medium stay. The kitchen is equipped and Neil and Tracey have thought of some sweet touches to make you feel at home. And if I could give it 6 out of 5 for cleanliness, I would. Literally spotless. It's not in a bustling metropolis so if you are looking for nightlife, this is not your place. It's quiet and tranquil (my first Sunday where the traffic noise at home hasn't woken me early!!). It has a great pub down the road called chequers, for a (nicer than usual) pub meal. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Ideal location within reach of lots of interesting places, helpful hosts and the warmest of welcomes. Couldn't recommend it more highly

We couldn't have been happier with the accommodation. Everything was clean and tidy, views were beautiful, even the carpet was nice and soft. Location benefitted from being within easy distance of many Cotswold attractions.

We stayed in Neil & Tracey's Penn House apartment in the vale of Evesham as a base for a Cotswold trip. The setting is beautiful in the picturesque village of Cropthorne, only a few miles from the busy market towns of evesham and pershore and offers easy access to the cotswolds. The hosts were extremely accomodating in all aspects & were in regular contact to see if we needed anything. Everything we asked for was provided. The accomodation is an apartment annex to the main building. It is immaculate & has a very homely & safe feel for visitors. Superb location, superb accomodation & superb hosts, offering excellent value for money. We will be staying again for sure

Extremely spacious and clean. Neil very helpful too. Wish we had stayed longer than one night. My 3yo was delighted with his bedroom and 'treats' left for him. Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. The interior is very recently remodeled and everything was great from the comfy bed to the soft fluffy towels. The kitchen was tiny but worked just fine and we cooked all our meals in the cottage with no problems. Hilary has a great book for guests with handmade maps of the town and suggested walking routes. The village is perfect and quaint and a bigger town with a huge Tesco is just 5 min drive away. There is no wifi in the place and our 3G did not work there, so plan accordingly to be disconnected and just relax for a few days!

We had a really lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, which was just right for our purposes. Yes it's small (though the bedroom is very generous) but absolutely ideal for a couple wanting to explore the local area - which is stunning! Hilary and Malcolm were thoughtful and consistently available hosts, though sadly never got to meet them. Happy memories, highly recommended! Thank you, James and Bekkie

Wir haben uns in diesem bildhübschen kleinenCottage sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist direkt gegenüber der Kirche in einem hübschen Ort mit netter Nachbarschaft. Uns erwarteten frische Blumen, Kekse, Tee und jede Menge Ausflugstipps in einer praktischen Mappe. Das Kochen erfordert etwas Geschick in der kleinen Küche , klappt aber. Wir haben uns wunderbar entspannt. Einfach schön dort. Wir empfehlen es gern weiter.

This is our first review as guests as we are normally the hosts, so it was a new experience for us. We thought Hilary and Malcolm's cottage was ideal for us, we wanted somewhere to rest our weary heads for a couple of days whilst attending a funeral. Had we wanted to explore the local area there were plenty of maps and walks in the welcome folder at the house so ideal even if you haven't had time to plan your trip. Communication with Hilary was perfect and it was very easy to find the cottage and lovely to have milk and coffee available on arrival. As a host myself I can say that I would be more than happy if my guests were as pleased with our house as we were with Hilary and Malcolm's. I would highly recommend the cottage.

What a lovely, welcoming and cosy cottage to stay in. Although small it had everything we needed for our trip. Soft towels provided, a great shower and the bed was very comfortable. A lovely quiet village to stay in. We had a meal in the Chequers Inn one evening (three minute walk) and I would highly recommend. Village is in a perfectly locations for easy access to the larger towns like Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon and Evesham via car. Parked very easily outside the house. Cosy gas fire at night which was perfect. Thank you for the experience.

We decided to take a short weekend break and visit a completely random village in the countryside! Fladbury was a cute village and the cottage was very cosy. Tiny of course, but great for 1-2 people. The fire was a great addition, and really made the place cosy. The bed is lovely and comfy with very clean sheets, overall the whole cottage is very clean. Shower was great and nice towels too, would have been great if there were some shampoo/conditioner already there as we completely forgot to bring some - but that's more our fault really! There was tea, coffee and some biscuits ready for us arriving which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend taking a 2 minute stroll down the road and having dinner and drinks at the Chequers Inn. This place does fantastic steak and chips for around £10, and it's a great atmosphere for a beer or two. We also tried out the pub closest to the cottage, the anchor, but I would say you should steer clear of here! Not the most friendly or clean. Don't bother at all. Stick with Chequers Inn! Also if you fancy a stroll, head up to the cafe that's marked on the map provided in the cottage. Very nice food! Overall I would definitely recommend anyone stay here for a short break.

This was our second stay in Hilary and Malcolm's lovely cottage. The cottage is a dream. So cosy and comfortable. We love Fladbury, a gorgeous, tranquil town with easy access to the lovely Cotswolds. The cottage is small but has everything you could possibly need. If we visit the Cotswolds again (quite likely!) we'll definitely stay here. Highly recommended!

Lovely little cottage with great character! Very clean and an easy place to stay in a beautiful village.

Only a very brief stay but the tenants were very friendly and helpful. Lovely little place on the end of the main house in a beautiful part of the countryside.

Julie is a really friendly host, Both her and Steve very welcoming and helpful throughout our short stay. The Coop is a lovely little set up, very clean and tidy and well located for a perfect for a few days break away in a gorgeous part of the country. Would absolutely recommend staying here. Thanks!

We had a lovely stay at The Coop delightful place very good host. All good would definitely recommend it to others.

The coop was comfortable, cosy and very welcoming. The fresh eggs for breakfast were a much appreciated! Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful one night stopover at The (URL HIDDEN) was perfect - a wonderfully clean, bright and idyllic place. Julie had thought of every little detail, from fresh towels and linen to eggs from the hens for breakfast. The local area is beautiful and the proximity to local pubs make it a great place to stay. Thanks again Julie - and an even bigger thanks to your little girl who was a great wee chum for our little boy! Jacqui and Steve

Lovely warm welcome, clean and well set out for all your needs, the personal touches really count in this place, great location, would recommend and would stay again for sure

The coop is great - it was perfect for us because we needed a washer and dryer at this point in our trip. The hosts are very kind and helpful if needed. You can hear them walking above you when laying in bed but it's not very loud. The area is nice with pubs close by.

The house and location were beautiful. Our family especially our daughter loved the garden and had a fantastic time meeting the chickens. Julie was a lovely host and her family very kind and welcoming. Homemade bread on arrival was a treat! We would definitely stay again.

La vivienda está situada en un lugar ideal para visitar la zona de los costwolds. La atención de Mel ha sido maravillosa y la vivienda en sí tiene todas las comodidades y detalles para que sea ideal. Sin duda repetiremos.

Mel's place was amazing, we couldn't fault it in any way. The photos really don't do the place justice, it's decorated so well and has a very homely feel to it. The lemon cake was a lovely touch and tasted amazing too. It's a shame we couldn't stay longer...

This property is in a beautiful and secluded spot - it is next door to the host's home, but we were still able to sit in the garden in a lovely spot that felt private. The cottage itself if beautifully finished, very comfortable beds and generally well equipped. Mel was very attentive and helpful in providing advice on local services and she made us a delicious lemon cake! We would highly recommend this property for couples, families or groups of friends. Thanks Mel.

Mel was a fantastic host and the house is perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

We fell in love with Mel's place. I can't recommend it high enough. Everything was perfect from even before we arrived with Mel's communications. On arrival Mel greeted us really warmly. Her daughter had even gone out of her way to get us a pint of milk. All Mel's family are so friendly which is a real bonus when away form home. We were stunned by the beauty of the area and the amazing setting. As we entered the property we were blown away. It was just perfect, rustic and warm. On the table was a welcome pack along with the most delicious home made cake......wow!!!! The accommodation more than fitted our needs as a family of four. The kids loved the farm setting. They had a chance to play with the dogs, feed the chickens, say 'baaaa' to the sheep, and even play football in the fields. The walk to the village was easy and rewarding as the village is picture postcard. We walked up and down the locals hills which were easy enough. Back to the accommodation.....the view of the pond from the bedroom window is stunning. The roaring fire in the lounge so homely. The place has everything you need. So overall we are over the moon and wish we could have stayed forever......we will be back :) Thank you!

A perfect place to stay, can not fault it at all. Mel was very welcoming and the surprise of a lemon cake, eggs, milk and soft drink were lovely (and much appreciated) touches. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I must add my praises to the reviews for Mel. Our stay was absolutely lovely. The place is as beautiful as it looks (we like to stay at places we fantasize about living in). It is quiet and comfortable. There was a binder filled with hike suggestions, although all I was up to with a 2 month old infant and a 5 year old was a ramble into town for a meal at the pub. The town itself, Elmley Castle, is adorable as well and a popular starting site for walks into Bredon Hill. We came in March in the middle of lambing season, which was a real treat for my son. The place is a real working farm (but in no way do the smells or sounds intrude) so it was a treat to occasionally see the tos and fros (look! big hay ball coming down the road). We had a rainy night and the place was well supplied with a tasteful selection of books, children's books, board games, and videos. The place is just a wonderful comfortable refuge from which to take rambles and drives in Worcestershire and the Cotswolds. The only FYI I can think of is that the bathroom is on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second floor, which might be of interest to those with frequent night-time visits to the loo. However, my husband is one of those, and he had no problems at all.

A truly stunning home in such a scenic location, the lambs are just adorable too! The house was absolutely perfect for our little getaway and is by far the best air bnb we've ever come across! Thank you to Mel for hosting us, especially as we weren't able to check in until late- it's really appreciated! And for the delicious cake and fresh eggs! I honestly couldn't recommend this stay enough and we shall no doubt be back! Thank you again for having us!

We stayed in the cabin boy's flat to attend a wedding at the nearby Springhill Barn. The location was fantastic, we could easily walk to the venue, and above a pub! What more could you want. We took a pint up to the room, lovely Wye pale. Even though it is a pub, the room was very quiet you could have been anywhere and as you can access it from the back it was fine for us to get back late once we had a key. The presentation of the room was spot on, everything absolutely pristine, like being in a fancy hotel! Simon was a great host, really easy check-in. The room had everything you could need, and is far bigger than the photos suggest. Set in a beautiful village with fab views, the area is well worth a visit. We would gladly recommend this booking. Cheers Simon!

Everything was great. Real country side of UK. Calm and very cozy place. Very silent, regardless of being in the inn.

Cosy and friendly, great stay

Great experience starting in an inn over a pub for the first time. Very comfortable, clean, and private.

Excellent accomodations. Friendly atmosphere.

It's a great place to stay! Most importantly, It's a bar downstairs!

We arrived, were able to park on a little side rd right next to the pub as there was a festival on and the frint was full of people and tables, it wasnt an issue at all. Just walked in, gave our name at the bar and were shown to the door to the flat whixh could be accessed through the bar or via a private door entrance which we could use out of opening hrs for convenience. The shower isnt the best but it was hot and wet so no complaints. Plenty if small touches luke shampoo and shower gels and hairspray. Lovely and clean, comfy beds. We left before the pub opened so just slipped our keys in the box and left out the side door , all very easy and uninterrupted. The village is very pretty and we were only about 6 minute drive from the vale golf club where we were attending a wedding. Would recommend :) thanks!

Lovely room, great shower! Would def stay again

A comfortable stay, with convenient parking in a quiet area.

Yvonne was really flexible, friendly and helpful in ensuring our stay went well. A great welcome from Abby the ( oh, so quiet) terrier also went down well! Would recommend this comfortable and quiet location in a beautiful part of the world - an ideal location for exploring the surrounding area such as Worcester , Pershore and the Malverns.

Yvonne is lovely and a great host, the home and bedroom were both superb and I was made to feel most welcome by Yvonne and her two wonderful dogs. Perfect for a weekend get away with loads of amazing countryside all round and some fantastic views. All round good stay and perfect for attending weddings at the nearby Springhill Barn

The cottage is just as described in the photos and in the listing. Clean, warm, cosy and with ample space for two adults and two children. The view of the lake was a nice highlight, and walking around the grounds was wonderful! The location is a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds and we are already looking forward to coming back when the weather gets a little warmer. Ben was great- really friendly and on hand for any queries we might have. He made our stay really welcoming and was the perfect host. We couldn't have asked for more! Looking forward to staying in touch!

Amazing place to stay. The house is in a wonderful property, with a lake where swans and ducks stayed and a huge Garden. The view from the house (living and bedroom) is fantastic. You can easily park your car in front of your door. The whole place is very well decorated. You feel like in your home. All the appliances are available and new. Ben is a fantastic guy, always ready to help, very kind and helpful. He left us eggs, milk and spices. Toilletries were also given. We were introduced to Ben´s Family, which were, like him, very nice, interesting and generous people. We would, surely, recommend Ben´s place.

Ben's parents were wonderful, very welcoming hosts. We had a lovely stay in the cottage right by the lake. The surrounding areas were beautiful and ideal for a quiet time away.

We all enjoyed our time in the cottage. The cottage was in a beautiful location, loved our view of the picturesque lake from our bedroom window. We enjoyed evening strolls around the grounds. It was so peaceful just what the doctor ordered. We were welcomed by Ben's mum, there were fresh flowers, eggs and milk on arrival. I highly recommend this property and in fact have so already to some friends.

The cottage was actually better than how we had anticipated. The view from the bedroom was totally amazing, and the cottage is really clean and cosy. Ben was also a amazing host, making sure we felt very relaxed and comfortable, and invited us to use his collection of spices, which we used pleasantly whist roasting the chicken for dinner. Over all we had a lovely time and without a doubt, we'll be back!

A wonderful weekend in an idyllic location. The area is superb and lower moor was a fantastic place to explore from. In addition lower moor itself is a great place to stay, very cosy indeed, with wonderful scenery right on your doorstep. the hosts were very helpful and friendly etc, great advice on local things to check out etc. this is defintely somewhere i will come back to and some point in the future.

We had an enjoyable three night stay in Ben's beautiful cottage, the lake views and walks were fantastic. The cottage was warm and cosy, very well equipped and comfy beds too. We were warmly welcomed by Ben's parents, who were very helpful. We would love to stay again.

This is an idyllic retreat, it's wonderfully peaceful and restorative. I came away feeling very relaxed even though I was staying alone with my 2 year old! The facilities are brilliant too, as was the welcome (free eggs and milk!), the hosts are very friendly and helpful. I couldn't recommend more highly and I will definitely want to visit again with my husband.

Ich hatte einen angenehmen Aufenthalt und bin sehr zufrieden. Jederzeit wieder.

Very quiet, within walking distance of town - try the quirky ferry during the day!

Great place. Great hosts. Thank you to Rachel who was Very helpful and pleasant. Would highly recommend.

Simon and Rachel; lovely people, a warm, friendly couple. An unexpected breakfast – not advertised – and very much appreciated! Highly recommended as a place to stay. Peaceful and a good night's sleep.

It was a pleasure to stay here, Simon and his wife were very friendly and helpful. They even provided a wonderful breakfast, which I didn't realise was included! The house is in a beautiful location, perfect to explore the Cotswolds. I would recommend a car if you don't have much time to see the Cotswolds as the public transport between towns can be infrequent.

Lovely spacious room and house in a quiet and nice neighbourhood. Very nice hosts and excellent breakfast!

An awesome place by the river Avon. The host Simon and Rachel were very friendly to their guest. The place is clean and spacious. The breakfast is delicious. Simon also rich in lots of knowledge and hobbies. Appreciated.

.

Jenn was incredibly friendly and helpful. What I particularly liked was her many little touches and just the beauty of the little cottage. A really special place to stay. Thank you so much!

Lovely warm welcome. Jenn was a great host and provided great accommodation and a great brekkie! Highly recommended!

A lovely, personal place to stay, great countryside, lovely cottage and Jenn makes sure you have everything you need. Had a great few days here, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

Jenn was lovely, very helpful and frendly, gave us a lot of things to see and do in the area.

Great stay! Beautiful cottage, lovely host, AMAZINGLY comfy bed, nice lovely breakfast

Was a great tucked away beautiful cottage really enjoyed the stay was very peaceful. Host was a pleasure to meet and only too happy to help! Well recommended

I so enjoyed my stay in this absolutely charming 500 year old farmhouse room and the accommodations were great! Jenn was an amazing host and knows the area so well that I highly suggest you ask her for recommendations when you're there. I had a fabulous weekend!!!

On our way home after a superb welcome in a gorgeous thatched cottage. Excellent night's sleep.

John, Rachel, thanks for a fantastic stay in your beautiful and comfortable cottage. Constance and George

If you're staying in the Cotswold, this is definitely the place to stay. Rachel and her husband are fantastic hosts! I've stayed with Airbnb many times and they are at the top of my list. The Byres is beautifully decorated, comfortable and very clean. You have your privacy and everything you need. It's a nice central place to visit the Cotswold but also to just sit back and relax. We enjoyed the local GastroPubs, walks around the villages and the beautiful autumn.

Rachel's beautiful barn was the nicest AirBnB that we have stayed in, ever. Her choices of finish and fixtures shows her refined and impeccable taste. Clearly she has spared no expense in the construct and equipping if this lovely space. We were greeted with amazing double bloomed roses and that serves as an apt metaphor for the whole of the house. A perfect space for a family, a honeymoon or any discerning guest looking for a luxurious experience. In the morning we found bunnies lopping about the yard which is beautifully maintained; and from the bedroom we had a tranquil view of the pond. Highly recommended.

Beautiful barn accommodation, very clean and everything we needed for a weekend retreat. Rachael was a very kind and accommodating host. Would defiantly visit again.

The home surpassed my expectations. Rachel provide excellent communication regarding access to the barn, sites to see and very thorough printed information on all appliances, heating etc. the house is immaculate. If you are not familiar with the area I would recommend arriving before dark due to the country roads.

The home was perfect. Beautiful, clean, well appointed, well designed, and so relaxing. We had a phenomenal time in the Cotswolds ant the Byers was like a dream to stay in. Rachel has created the perfect getaway!

We had a fantastic stay at The Byres. The barn was stunning and beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We loved the barn, the garden and the area and would definitely recommend a stay here. Rachel and Jon were very accommodating and friendly and their restaurant recommendations were spot-on - thank you for everything.

This was the perfect little house in a beautiful village, set back from a quiet country lane, large garden for the children to play in, modern and fresh interior, and amazingly clean and well kept. Wonderful. Exactly as described. Thanks Rachel!

Claudia and James are wonderful hosts, flexible and considered, we felt really lucky to find them during your stay in Evesham. They are so nice that really make you feel comfy, like being at home. Thank you so much!

Lovely couple, very good location

It's my first time that I traveled in Uk. I am really lucky that I had a friendly and lovely host. I think that this trip brought not only these charming countries but also two friends ( Claudia&James). Trust me! I will come back~

Jan's room has a comfortable bed, wardrobe with room to put your things in and a lovely view of the very well landscaped garden. Her home is very clean with a sofa that you want to live in. Jan was also very accommodating and informative about the local area. Very good value for money and my husband and I would definitely stay here again!

Very friendly and relaxed. Jan was a great host.

Great accommodation. Jan made me very welcome

Jan's place is comfortable and clean. The bed was excellent and we had a really good rest. Jan is very friendly and will make you feel at home. We were able to use the kitchen which was useful. Really good value for money. Thanks Jan!

Helen and Mark are phenomenal hosts. They were so warm and welcoming. Their house is spacious and spotless as well as ideally located for a Cotswolds vacation. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the Avon river was bliss and the 10 minute walk into Eavsham was ideal. The kitchen was well-equipped and the washer and dryer were greatly appreciated. This house was a real find which greatly enhanced our time in the UK. We look forward to seeing Helen and Mark again in the future

Avonview is a wonderful place to stay. A beautiful, comfortable home with a lovely outlook over the river. Easy walk into town and a great base to visit all the little villages in the cotswolds. You could not do better.

Really comfy room. Got a great nights sleep. Host was really helpful and made it simple for me to check in. Very clean and tidy too.

Good location close to the the town centre.

David was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and his attention to detail with regard to places to go and see was excellent. Ratty's had everything you could possibly need and was a lovely place to stay for a few nights. The location is perfect for a Cotswold break and we would definitely recommend.

Amazing base to explore the Cotswolds...we love Ratty's Retreat! Right from the first communication, David was an excellent host. On arrival, he made us feel right at home in this amazing space at the top of his garden with it's quiet back entrance and private parking alongside. The interior David has finished to a high level, with an open plan room, separate bedroom and ensuite. There's an outdoor area with table and chairs to enjoy some quiet. David has provided you'd need to make a pleasant stay. We'd love to return.

A

I was attending Forest School training just outside of Evesham and needed somewhere to stay for two nights, and I came across Ratty's Retreat. I had a friendly welcome by David, who then showed me around the cabin. Ratty's Retreat had everything I needed for my stay, and I'd stay again if in the area. Thanks again David! Gemma x

Nice place. Clean, warm and smart. Easy to find. Wasn't there much as I was working, but was a nice and quiet stay.

Great location, friendly host, lovely place to stay in.

What an amazing way to end our road trip through the U.K! The place exceeded all of our expectations. Great location. We had privacy and all the amenities that you would expect in the comfort of your own home. Dave was a wonderful host. Friendly, easy to talk to you and very straightfoward. The dogs were adorable and really friendly. Would definately recommend to anyone.

Davids place is great! Really enjoyed our stay there. He has done a fine job of creating a really comfortable studio/(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) in his back garden. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed, tv and an ensuite. It is in an excellent location right across the road from the Avon River, an easy walk into the main street of Evesham, along the river complete with cannel boats and skiffs. Excellent parking. A short drive from Stratford and lots of other beautiful places. David is good company knows exactly how to make you feel welcome and is very helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this place.
