"Cosy little annexe."
Fully equipped kitchen and all other items supplied as per website. Very comfortable bed. Quiet setting.
-
"Small property but fine for two and very well maintained."
Gorgeous huge garden. Owners friendly but not intrusive. Great local pub does meals and also tea and cakes. No local shop so do go prepared, Pershore and Evesham nearby for a top up later in the week.

"I suppose it's a personal thing , but I do a lot of cooking on holiday."
I had a real struggle with the blunt knives and glass chopping board. That aside I loved the place and setting, and the garden. I had a great holiday in a delightful area. Thank you.
There is a knife sharpener in the drawer of kitchen tools. The hardened glass is a surface protector. There a two white chopping boards alongside the bread board. Property Owner

"This is our second time here and we had a lovely stay."
This is a really friendly village and Mr and Mrs Lovett are friendly helpful owners. So many other places to go but chances are we'll be back.

"Pat and Brian were the best of hosts, there when we arrived and very informative with regards the cottage and surrounding areas then left us to our own devices but we knew if we needed them they would be there."
The cottage was clean and well equipped with the welcome milk in the fridge and tea and coffee supplies for a much needed brew after our long drive with the added bonus of Pat's home made jam we had the following mornings. We both relaxed straightaway in the cosy cottage and lovely back garden. Very good local pub with excellent meals available all through the day.

"A very enjoyable stay at this compact but comfortable cottage."
The owner was on hand on arrival to greet us and showed us all the facilities which was appreciated. Great parking on the private drive right outside the cottage. The village is worth a stroll around as is a visit to the local pub. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area and beyond. Pershore is very handy and a lovely place to visit as is the tiny hamlet of Wick.

"The cottage is very comfortable and Pat and Brian were very helpful and friendly."
Elmley Castle is a pretty village and is a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. There are lots of walks, gardens and National Trust properties to visit.

"Lovely cottage in a lovely town."
Perfect for beautifull walks. One side the Cotwolds, ohter side the Malvern Hills. Pershore is well equiped for all needed shopping.

"Perfect cottage for two people."
We couldn't think of anything that could have made it better. Pat and Brian are lovely considerate hosts. When it was really hot and none of the seating for the cottage had any shade, Brian brought round an umbrella and camping chairs so we could sit outside comfortably. The cottage stayed cool during the hot spell and the big fridge/freezer meant we had plenty of room to keep food and drink cold. Pat's jam was lovely and the eggs from the hens were delicious. We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the cottage, including the visit from the cheeky hen, and watching the hedgehog at dusk. The village is a great location for walking and for visiting numerous nearby National Trust properties. We also had a great day out on the steam railway from Toddington. Yes, you need a car make the most of the area, but you don't need to venture far to find plenty to do.
So pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our area and in The Cottage complete with visit from 'Mrs Posh' our chief hen! It's so nice when host and visitors get on so well. Thank you for your comments. Pat & Brian Property Owner

"Friendly, helpful owners."
Comfortable stay in a beautiful area
-
"Freindly welcome, a lovely quiet place to stay, with good walks, ideal for exploring the area with three towns just a short drive away."
We enjoyed our stay.

"A nice little cottage, we enjoyed our stay."
We were surprised to find the "extra" room with dresser and fridge, so the cottage had much more storage space than we'd anticipated. The weather was rather cold when we stayed (-7 in Pershore) and we struggled a little to make the house warm, especially the bathroom. We appreciated being able to get in the house at 3 pm rather than the prescribed 5pm, perhaps having to base plans around a 5 pm arrival was the worst aspect of the trip. All in all, we'd definitely stay again - clean, comfy and although it looks like you'll be forever overlooked by the owners, it was really very private.

"This was a great place to stay, small but perfect for a couple."
The owners were delightful and the area nice a peaceful

"Having spent 2 weeks holiday at The Cottage very recently i can highly recommend this property for a very comfortable stay, the token eggs, jam and milk upon arrival were much appreciated, the cottage is very compact, comfortable, warm, well equipped and ideal for a couple or even a single person for walking and exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside."
Brian and Pat the owners are a lovely couple and nothing was too much trouble if i had any questions during my stay. The rear garden is also a very pleasant area to sit outside on those warm sunny days and evenings, i personally wouldn`t hesitate to book again for my next stay to the area.

"Great property and lovely garden - friendly people."
-
"A neat little hide-away which suited my every need."
Good weather for the entire week was a huge blessing which meant I was able to be outdoors and accomplishing my hopes to walk every day. I can honestly say that the location is one of the best I have experienced for leaving the car parked for the whole week, great!

"Elmley Castle is a lovely village, surrounded by other lovely villages, and Bredon Hill and the Malverns are as beautiful as we'd hoped."
Pat and Brian made us very welcome. The cottage is small and the ceilings are low, but the garden is lovely and the facilities all worked as well as we could wish. There are very good farm shops not far away, and good shopping of other kinds in Pershore (about 10 minutes' drive). We had a wonderful stay, and would recommend the Cottage highly for a couple looking for a base to explore the area.
-

"An ideal place for a rural treat, in a superb situation being right at the centre of one of the most beautiful villages in the Vale of Evesham."
Short walk to the pub which doubles as community tearoom and great walks up and around Bredon Hill. Owners could not be more accommodating and allow access to their lovely garden. Cottage is small but well-equipped, though I was staying there on my own. Parking was off-road and right by the property. Would definitely stay again when I need some peace and quiet!
-

-

"Really nice little cottage, just right for 2 people."
The kitchen is very well equipped and it is in a lovely village setting. The eggs and home made jam were very welcome! The pub in the village is first class, food excellent (including the coffee shop) and staff very welcoming.

"I had an amazing week in Elmley Castle in The Cottage."

"This is a beautiful little cottage amex, we were made very welcome by the owners, who left a few goodies for us in the form of their own produce."
The area around Elmley Castle is extremely beautiful, with picture postcard cottages, in delightful villages. It's also quite central, with the Cotswolds being about 30 minuits by car, and the Malvern's and Stratford about 45 minuits.
-
"A great week at The Cottage, Elmley Castle."
Perfect for the two of us. A lovely, well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting plus welcoming local pub just a few minutes walk away. Good walks on Bredon Hill and in the immediate area but also plenty to see and do within a short drive.
-
"What an absolute delight."
Lovely cosy cottage, perfect for two. Spotlessly clean with everything you will possibly need, set in a beautiful garden which you are free to wander round (and visit the chickens). Private and secluded, with off road parking. The hosts supply lots of local information including many local walks, two of which we tried, fabulous. The pub at the end of the road is also very good and although they can't serve inside yet, they have marquees and heaters outside and we ate there several times. Beware the full english breakfast, it's enormous! We will definitely go back, if only to have more of Pat's amazing jam.
-
"Lovely cottage and surrounding village."
Mr Mrs Lovett were really welcoming and friendly. Perfect for hiking as many footpaths start in the area. The cottage was also really clean and well furnished. Highly recommended!
-
"The cottage at Elmley castle is ideal for walks up the Bredon hills and surrounding Country side and cycling the country lanes."

"The cottage was exactly what we hoped for."
Clean comfortable and very peaceful. Pat and Brian were very friendly and helpful . Good base for exploring the Cotswolds and Malvern hills. Highly recommended.
-
"Elmley Castle has to be the most delightful of all cottages I have yet visited."
The Lovetts were so welcoming and absolutely charming, very quick to offer any, what I would have considered to be quite unnecessary, apologies - mostly relating to the entry drive which is awaiting restoration. The little annexe was so comfortable and quiet with every facility at hand. I was permitted, though I was careful to be discreet, to wander about their huge and most beautiful garden. And the location was out of this world - the most charming little village with an excellent, and very popular pub, nestling beneath the stunning Bredon Hill. I would not hesitate to award 5 plus stars to this venue which I will certainly visit again as soon as possible. Chris Bruce

"The cottage is very well appointed with wonderful views onto the garden and seating area."
The owners are a lovely, friendly couple and made us feel very welcome. The village has a great pub which also opens as a cafe during the day.

"The most enchanting cottage and also village."
A very, very warm welcoming from the nice and friendly owners.

"The cottage and garden were lovely and extremely well appointed, down to the smallest detail."
The only downside was no shop in village and a bad tempered neighbour. The owners are a lovely couple, very helpful and friendly.

"Stayed for Cheltenham Festival week."
Cottage is in a lovely village with a great pub, and a good route to Cheltenham that took about 30 mins. Period cottage was well kitted out. Owners friendly and helpful. We had a lovely visit to the area.
-
"This far exceeded our expectations of our stay in the Cotswolds."
Perfect size, nicely decorated and a very cosy vibe which is exactly what we were after. The sun sets right in front of the entrance where seats and a table are provided, you can see out in the garden from the snug upstairs bedroom, cook your own food in the kitchen and there's a parking space right next to the building too. We went to the friendly pub a few minutes walk away each night which sold restaurant quality food, had local ales and it's own gin menu. The minimal light pollution on the street gives an amazing view of the night sky on the walk home too, so much so we sat outside for a while once we got home on the first night! After visiting some of the nearby popular and more well known villages we were thankful just how quiet this cottage and village were and that we were away from the large crowds of people. An extra note that the hosts are very welcoming and added to the overall great experience of our trip. We hope to be returning here one day!

"Lovely Christmas in this beautiful and peaceful cottage with on the doorstep access to wonderful walks on Bredon Hill and nearby areas."
Accommodation fantastic: cosy, warm, quiet and comfortable with everything you could possibly want home from home. Pat and Brian, lovely hosts who very kindly helped me out with a few items I had forgotten. I could not have asked for more. Elmley Castle is an incredibly picturesque village and it was delightful to be able to stay right in its heart with everything literally a few steps away. I highly recommend.
-
"Highly recommend this cottage."
Very well equipped accommodation. Friendly hosts.
-
"We were welcomed warmly by Mr and Mrs Lovett."
The cottage was clean and well equipped. It is in a very quiet village but not too far to get to Pershore or Evesham. Plenty of walking trails around the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend the cottage for anyone who wants a quiet getaway.
