  What a gem!

  We had a wonderful 5 days at Little Acres Cottage as a couple with three dogs. The location of the cottage is fantastic, you are very private, with plenty of distance to the very few neighbours, and yet many interesting destinations in the Cotswolds are within easy reach. It is very quiet, except at peak times in the morning and evening there are hardly any cars at all and in the cottage you can't hear them anyway. The property is huge and great for dogs. The fence is not entirely dog-proof, but we don't leave our four-legged friends outside without supervision anyway, so this wasn't a problem. We watched squirrels and buzzards on the property and saw deer in the neighbouring field from the upstairs window, it was very idyllic. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cosy and has everything you need. We were especially delighted about the great kitchen and the big bath tub and the nice living room with the big settee, fireplace and TV, perfect for chilling on a rainy day in November. There are (small) beds, bowls and treats for dogs, as well as a thick folder with activity suggestions and tips. The mudroom in the entrance area is also very practical and the stone floor on the ground floor is easy to keep clean with dogs. Unlike many other holiday homes, dogs are allowed on the upper floor, but as there is carpet, you should make sure that their paws are really clean beforehand. We carried our dogs upstairs and downstairs because there are loveley wooden stairs which were a bit too smooth for our old dogs, but that was no problem at all. We had a great time here and were even able to extend a day at the last minute as there was a small gap left after our booking. Thanks to the team at Syke Cottages and the owners for their flexibility. We can warmly recommend this cottage, especially for romantic couple holidays, dog owners or families, and would love to come back.

  We have just arrived home after spending February half term at the stunning Beesoni Lodge.

  As soon as we walked into this beautiful property, we absolutely loved it. The lay out worked perfectly for our family - My family of 4, my in-laws and my Mum. So much space, plenty of seating in the cosy lounge and around the large kitchen table, and having the 3 bathrooms was really useful. The property was so warm and cosy. The underfloor heating in the bathrooms was lovely, especially first thing in the morning! I think this is the best equipped holiday house we have ever stayed in. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, including everything to bake a cake! We didn't make use of this, but very handy if you need to make a birthday cake while you are away! The utility room was also very useful, and we made use of the washing machine to save taking a mountain of washing home. The garden that Beesoni Lodge sits in is really lovely, although we couldn't really make full use of it due to the time of year that we visited. It would be beautiful in the Summer, to sit outside and enjoy the BBQ. Plenty of outside seating, plus extra stored in the utility room. The location is perfect for visiting lots of places. Croome Nation Trust is just 20 minutes away, Upton on Severn and Malvern just a short drive. The bigger towns of Worcester and Gloucester only a 30 minute drive. So much to do nearby, although you would be happy to stay in and not go out as the property is just so lovely! A really lovely, chilled family holiday in a beautifully location. Thank you Laura for letting us stay in your beautiful property, and for the easy communication and assistance offered. I would have chosen 6 stars but there wasn't that option!

  Lovely house with views over the valley.

  Very clean, and kitchen well equipped. Dining table needs attention, legs are very loose. Enough seating for 6 adults lounge and dining room. En suite and bathroom very clean and quite new, electric showers in both so no probs with hot water. Bedrooms have 2 king size beds, one zip link to separate into 2 small singles, not super kingsize as advertised. 3rd room has 2 single beds. Track leading to property is off road and uneven. Oil central heating - lovely and cosy. We accessed the house from the back as there is a porch, easier to dry dogs before taking them indoors. Hard floors throughout - perfect for dog families. Garden is enclosed but not dog proof, back fence in garden corner - no visible fence and other areas that dogs can get out. Sheep and lambs in adjoining field so we kept our dogs on leads in the garden. Also dogs not allowed upstairs, not made clear in advert, only in documents at the property. Stair gate provided, we used on kitchen door as didn’t want to put on stairs, space not too good and don’t want to mark the walls. We have a 6 m puppy so no choice but to have her with us in bedroom in her crate. Good cleaning equipment, vac, mop, broom, dustpan and brush. Dishwasher very handy and tabs under the sink. Would book again, as this is a lovely property, and smart tv a reasonable size, we used our Google stick to view. WiFi provided good enough to stream.

  Absolutely beautiful house & surroundings; however we were disappointed given how rural it is at the lack of dog walking available from the property.

  We would like to point out that the drive isn't suitable for some cars, if you came in a sports car you wouldn't make it down. The house was lovely & clean when we arrived & there was absolutely everything you could ask for to cook full meals at the property, along with a good size fridge & freezer. The dining kitchen was really lovely for the social aspect along with the table & chairs in the garden which the weather allowed us to use on the first night we where there which was lovely. A footstool or 2 in the living room would have added some extra comfort as for 4 adults relaxing on an evening wasn't massively relaxing. The beds are hard, which as someone who likes a hard mattress I thought would be fine, but the double we had to put the duvet under the sheet to pad it out a bit! We feel some people may struggle with this. Bathrooms were lovely & clean & showers were great even when all 4 of us were showering to go out. Having the downstairs toilet was a massive bonus. Location is what really let it down for us sadly. It felt like a 30 minute drive was required to get anywhere & the lack of a village pub to walk to again was a disappointment. For a retreat of doing nothing, this property is perfect & absolutely beautiful, but I wouldn't say it's best placed for exploring Worcestershire personally.

  Fantastic house.

  Spotlessly clean. Lovely little touches like leaving bottles of water for us. Heating was on when we arrived which was lovely but it's a warm house anyway so we turned it off in some rooms. One bedroom is downstairs and the bathroom is next to the kitchen so not ensuite but very close. The garden is big and looks beautiful but being there in November meant we didn't use it. We walked into Broadway in about 5 or 10 minutes which is absolutely beautiful. Nice little shops. Short drive to other Cotswolds towns. We went to Moreton in Marsh and had an amazing afternoon tea at Cotswolds tearoom. The street is quiet too. Recommend this house and would definitely stay here again. Thanks to the owners for a great stay
