The perfect cottage for easy access to Worcester. Some of the fittings are a little tired and we missed having a shower, but overall a unique and comfortable cottage.

Heating hadn't been put on prior to our arrival, so cottage was very cold and took most of our stay to reach a comfortable temperature. On leaving we were instructed to turn the thermostat down to 12 degrees C !! in the middle of winter.It's such a shame that this historic cottage has been left to deteriorate over the years - as some of the complaints we encountered had been highlighted for many years by previous guests.But, if you like spiders and hibernating insects and black mould around rusty windows then you'll feel quite at home.In the summer the garden maybe lovely, but paths need repairing as they are very uneven and crumbling which is quite hazardous.
