"Howard Cottage is definitely the very best self catering property that we have stayed in and had everything we could possibly need - plus more !"
The welcome basket was extremely generous and it was very helpful knowing in advance that toiletries were provided. There was no disturbance from the pub next door and the food we had in there was brilliant and very reasonably priced. Many thanks to Keri for meeting us on arrival and explaining everything we needed to know.
Hi Peter.

It had everything you wanted and more. We are regular customers of Sykes and this is the best property we have been in. The welcome package was the best ever. If we went back to the area, this is the property we would go for.

"Howard Cottage is the best one we have ever stayed in, 5* plus plus."
Extremely comfortable, everything you could possibly need. Plenty of equipment, spare bedding, towels. Pristine everywhere. The Welcome Pack, again the best we have ever had, including box of extra tea bags, sugar, coffee in cupboard. Everything needed for at least couple of days breakfast. Garden a delight, lovely to sit in, plus table and chairs under a gazebo as well as set on patio. Keri very helpful, lovely lady. Had a wonderful holiday. Thank you Keri.

"Superbly furnished & appointed accommodation with the best welcome, and welcome pack, we've ever experienced (and we take several cottages every year)."
The owners were very helpful, easy access and plenty of private parking. Though the accommodation is adjacent to the bottom end of the excellent local pub/restaurant it's well fenced off out of site and there was absolutely no noise or disturbance. The garden was well kept with loads of seating & tables. Appears to be not far from a local glider club so we were entertained by the gliders riding the thermals.
Don't miss the NT Fleece @ Bretford (where they host the start of the asparagus season and auction) if you like very very old pubs full of curiosities, Gins, real ales, artisan ciders and excellent dining. Chipping Campden worth a visit.
Hi Stuart. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I am so grateful to you for sharing your experience on this site.
It sounds like you made the most of your visit and managed to visit some excellent eating places. Just to clarify in case anyone takes up your recommendation regarding the Fleece. It’s in a small village called Bretforton. I would hate people to miss it by looking for Bretford. Once again thank you for choosing Howard Cottage. I also want to thank you for leaving the place as though nobody had been there and in such a clean and tidy state. Much appreciated.

The cottage was immaculate and with all the amenities of home. Ideally situated for trips out into the Worcestershire countryside and further afield.
A very thoughtful welcome pack including treats for the dog and pastries for the human guests. Would highly recommend

"Outstanding attention to detail and care ."
Pre arrival information very informative and thorough plus we were met and given a lovely warm welcome on arrival.
Nothing was too much trouble for Keri as she provided an efficient tour round. Keri even catered for our gluten free requirements in the welcome pack. Absolutely loved our stay !!! The garden was totally dog friendly and we saw some sunshine so were able to enjoy the lovely garden
Thank you Gary much appreciated this feedback. The cottage is a real labour of love for me so I am always so delighted to hear it when my guests have enjoyed their time in Howard Cottage.

"We have had a fabulous, relaxing, peaceful stay."
I sat on the bench out front on Sunday, with my book, and caught the sun however there is more seating in the back garden too. This is the 1st holiday rental that we have been to that has been so well equipped and of such a high standard. It was an added bonus having a smart TV with Netflix etc. we settled down one night, with a beer, and watched a film of choice. The bed is super comfy and there is plenty of hanging/drawer space. There is plenty of parking space too. The pub does a good pint and the food is great and all at a reasonable price. The welcome pack is excellent and much appreciated, we could have a cuppa and a pastry when we settled in.
Thank you Mandy so pleased you had a lovely time. Thank you also for leaving the place so clean. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again in November.

It was perfect t for outlets stay with my parents with areas of local beauty a short drive away. The welcome basket meant we had everything we needed for a cuppa when we arrived and our breakfast. Thank you.

"We had a lovely stay, accommodating the dogs too."
The welcome pack was a nice surprise- it would be good to advertise this as we arranged a click and collect order so didn’t use all that was available, the local pub does lovely food, I’m gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating by checking items and had a good menu.
Hopefully will return
