  • "What a wonderful stay, from the welcoming pack to everything you need."

    We had a great week and the Ivy Pub next door has really nice food, went 3 times while at Howard’s cottage. I would like to give a special mention to Keri for making it a great break. Roy and Diane

    Hi Diane and Roy Thank you for the great feedback, it means so much to me when I hear my guests have enjoyed their stay. Thank you for looking after the place so well I would hardly know you were there. Maybe see you again sometime in the future. Property Owner

  • "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.

    Hi Jen. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It was so lovely to meet you all. Thank you again for the beautiful roses and card very much appreciated. It’s always a joy for me to get this kind of feedback. It truly means a lot. Kind regards Keri Property Owner

  • "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. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderfully warm welcome from the owner Keri."

    She explained how everything worked and where everything was. 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

    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. Hope to see you both and your lovely dad again sometime in the future. Kind regards Keri Property Owner

    Great location for the Cotswolds , didn’t manage to get to the local pub as we were so busy. Certainly would return and definitely recommend to anyone who wants that little bit extra.

  • "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. Regards Keri Property Owner

OFFENHAM

Evesham 3.4 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 13.3 miles.

The ancient village of South Littleton lies in the Vale of Evesham, between Evesham and Bideford-upon-Avon and surrounded by unspoilt Worcestershire countryside. Dating back to Roman times, the village has a well-stocked farm shop, Post Office and fish and chip shop as well as a recreation ground and bowling and tennis club. Many walks can be enjoyed from the village, with the long-distant footpaths of Shakespeare's Avon Way and Millennium Way running close by. The nearby village of Bretforton boasts its own community-run village shop and a 600-year old inn, owned by the National Trust, which hosts many music, folk and food and drink festivals throughout the year. The quintessential English village of Broadway, five miles away, has individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels including the world-renowned Lygon Arms, which has been popular for centuries and now offers spa facilities, enjoyed at pre-arranged times. The surrounding countryside is famous for its fruit-growing and market gardening, and South Littleton is a great base for exploring the many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages, along with Cheltenham Spa, with its Gold Cup Festival and Worcester, with its magnificent cathedral. The birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, is just a short drive away and offers many historic buildings, a theatre and the pretty River Avon. The area has an abundance of National Trust properties, museums, lovely walks, golf courses, fishing and cycle trails, making it a great base for a memorable holiday at any time of year.
