The Little Beehive

No complaints at all but I would like to make a couple of suggestions: Please include a warning in the description that dogs are NOT permitted upstairs.

I only say this because our dog has always slept in her dog bed on the floor next to my Son’s bed since she was a puppy. Leaving her downstairs crying was heartbreaking & lead to sleepless nights for all of us. Including this in the description of the property would help future clients to make an informed choice. The rear gate to the garden is just on a latch, it blew open on a number of occasions so might I suggest a locking device is put in place for security? A simple slide bar would do the job.

Fabulous location, love the hot tub.

Really helpful hosts. Thank you

From start to finish we had an amazing comfortable stay.

As a single dad with 2 young kids and a well behaved British Bulldog, this property made everything so easy with plenty of space. Property is cosy and warm, the hot tub is massive clean and held the temperature well. Every aspect was thought about well with everything provided for cleaning. Anybody leaving anything negative should be ignored. Shower and bath were perfect and the kids being fussy, one likes the bath the other prefers showers. Hot water supply was as expected at home. A massive bonus having a downstairs toilet too. One little comment, maybe a new frying pan needed and possibly a 2nd little one. Otherwise kitchen supply’s were brilliant. Our Doggie had 2 bowls supplied and a blanket too, enclosed garden for her to run around was a massive godsend. Thank you to the owners you have an amazing place for us to enjoy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Ps. Thanks for leaving a Monopoly game, now the kids are addicted!! Lol

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Little Beehive and would definitely visit again.

A lovely cottage in a rural village location. The property was well presented and very comfortable, exceptionally clean and spacious, and very well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. The garden was completely secure and perfect for our two small dogs. Although in a farm location, the only noise we experienced was from the cockerel and the occasional passing farm vehicle, not a problem at all. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Lovely location parking a bit tight .

Hot tub over looked felt a bit uncomfortable going in . It foamed before we got in . Shower was so small no where to put shampoo bottles bending down to pick them up was very tight! The cottage was lovely decorated and good size . Milk would’ve been a nice touch .

The cottage was lovely but would have liked a bigger fridge/freezer also a washing machine would have been handy.

The garden was smaller than we expected but very secure for our fir babies

The cottage was immaculate and the pictures do not show just how big this cottage is.

The owners were very friendly and introduced themselves on arrival to my husband whilst he unpacked the car. My little boy didn't want to leave. We took our little dog and the walks were amazing -even if we did get a little lost, we ended up in a lovely little pub that was dog friendly. The highlight has to be the space, the hottub and the quietness and surroundings. We even stumbled upon a field of alpacas on our walk and the views were amazing. I have already recommended to a lot of friends and family and would definitely book again in the future.

I brought my two sons to stay and we had such a lovely time.

It was so kind of the owners to have the hot tub ready for us the moment we got there at a great temperature. After a few hard months it was lovely to relax in pure comfort.have a movie night and be a family as work and school sometimes get in the way. We will definitely bringing my other son and hubby next time. Loved the beautiful artwork displayed and the light up lights to see in the evening.alotgough we don't have a dog it was lovely to see how the owners had catered for dogs. The beds were so comfortable and the skylights were filled with beautiful sunsets. Thank you for allowing to come and have such a great couple of days x

Lovely venue and location.

Bed was terrible (too hard) and felt like sleeping on a wooden table. Felt the shower was designed for people no taller than 5”5ft. Cottage was very clean and the hot tub was a great addition.

Ideal Base, lovely surroundings, great walks for the dogs and a fabulous hit tub

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country.

A fantastic little cottage with hot tub, perfect for a mini break.

The only suggestion I would make would be to have a line / drier so you can dry off wet swimsuits / towels for the tub. Would definitely stay here again

Great stay, lovely place and location, everything you need!

The perfect winter break for my birthday and the first time to the midlands but won’t be the last.

Lovely cozy little cottage with the advantage of a hot tub, which was perfect for the chilly winter evenings in an enclosed garden, which was a little over looked but didn’t bother us. Comfy lounge with electric fire which was not needed as the cottage was always lovely and warm. Fully equipped kitchen, although could have done with more than 4 teaspoons, especially when using the dishwasher. Dishwasher tablets, cloth at the sink, teatowel, washing up liquid and kitchen roll all provided along with tea, coffee and sugar and some biscuits which was a nice touch. Liquid hand soap was also at all sinks. Upstairs was very spacious with towels for all guests on each bed. Hairdryer in main bedroom, plenty of hangers and storage. Mattresses on the beds were memory foam and a little firm for our taste, in fact very hard and we do sleep on a firm mattress. But did sleep quite well considering. Very clean and tidy property. So many lovely places to eat out within a 20 minute drive. Would definitely recommend The Little Beehive and if it was an option would score a 4 1/2 out of 5

Brilliant little cottage, ideal for a young family.

Got tub was amazing and we hope to return next year.

Brilliant place so clean and co.

fortable. hot tub was amazing . Fabulous !!

Everything was superb.

From parking the car to walking into the premises and finding everything you need in excellent clean condition.Then we met the Owner Dawn who was a Lovely lady with excellent knowledge of the area.we will definitely come to the beehive again.Sooner than later I hope. Thank You for a wonderful stay David & Jakki

Fantastic little cottage set in a beautiful location.

What we liked: Stunning location Extremely clean Friendly owners Very dog friendly (bowls and dog towels provided) Comfortable beds Good facilities (WiFi, hot tub, dishwasher, smart TV, etc) Private and secure parking Secure garden for our two dogs Brilliant local walks Velux windows over the bed so we could watch the stars Deceptively spacious Tastefully decorated interior Good shower Lovely free standing bath Information pack / brochures about the local area provided Good location to access the Malvern hills, Shropshire hills, Cotswolds, Wyre forest, Birmingham, etc Peaceful location - it's on a working farm however the noise is minimal We would have liked extra bed linen or washing facilities so we could have clean bedding however this is just our preference. Everything was lovely and we had a relaxing time away. 100% would recommend :)

Great cottage in lovely location.

Equipment quite basic. Bath towels too small. No cleaning products so not able to clean property properly when we left. No outside lights by hot tub. Hooks near hot tub would be good for hanging towels/bath robe.

Had a very enjoyable stay, lovely cottage, lovely countryside.

We didn't feel that either pub was easily walkable, narrow dark lanes and little or no footpaths. Overall we had a good time and visited some great places.

Lovely home and location.

Clean and clutter-free. Did have a few flies in the house but that is to be expected being in the countryside. Overall, was a lovely and relaxing holiday.

We had a wonderful stay, beautiful property great location.

Especially enjoyed the hot tub

A really good quality property.

A lovely place to stay.

The property was in a lovely quiet surrounding and it was such a nice break.

The property had everything we needed and the hot tub and garden was a great bonus.

A wonder spacious but homely retreat positioned far enough away from the world to relax but central enough to go exploring this beautiful part of the country.

Everything supplied for a cosy home from home experience and a dwelling that has exactly what it says on tin! Cannot thank our hosts enough

Lovely property and well kept.

Really comfortable. Enjoyed touring the local area and visiting some excellent pubs and restaurants.

The cottage was immaculately clean, bright and very well equipped.

Loved The Little Beehive.

Ideal location for our needs, having family living nearby. Definitely a favourite and hope to return soon.

We stated with our two dogs.

All of us had a relaxing break. Property had everything we needed and more. It’s spacious and clean in a lovely location, a short walk to a lovey pub, the manor arms and a short drive to Bewdley and Stourport.

Nice to have outside light.

Gate difficult to use. Key collection point could be easier to find. Doesn’t need to be hidden away. Whistling radiators.

Absolutely loved our weekend at The Little Beehive ❤️ it was a well needed break for a team of support workers who are used to giving, but not taking time for us.

It was a chance for us to unwind, and that’s what we did. The Little Beehive was a home from home, everything you need and more. Cosy, comfy and cute. We’d love to return for our next break ❤️

Fabulous place to stay in a lovely area .

Very friendly owner . Lovely local pub nearby. Would stay again

We really enjoyed our week here, the barn was beautiful and surroundings perfect.

Abberley Common was visited most days as I am currently not very mobile due to a recent knee replacement. This was on the doorstep and perfect for walking our two dogs. The hot tub was blissful and frequented at least once a day. The only things I would mention as observations not complaints in any way would be to have fridge freezer instead of an under counter fridge with ice compartment. With a full weeks fresh food shop delivered we struggled to fit everything in and there was only two of us, I don't know how a family of 4 would cope ? Also I would have preferred a washer or washer dryer to a dishwasher. As there was a hot tub we constantly had wet swimwear and wet towels from the hot tub and shower with no means of drying them.

We had an excellent stay at the Little Beehive, the property was very clean, well stocked and fit for purpose.

There were some lovely additional touches that added to experience and the hot tub was amazing. We stayed here with my in-laws and they have two dogs and high standards. They found nothing to complain about and the dogs were also incredibly happy and comfortable. The local area is picturesque with great walks and we loved the sound of geese and cockerels in the morning (although my in-laws didn’t hear them). We did have a requirement to speak to the owner (I broke a glass) and it was nice that she is next door and so understanding and helpful. If I had to make an small negative observation it would be that I would describe the lounge sofas as adequate (not comfortable) but this was never a problem and didn’t detract from our enjoyment of our break away. We had a great stay in this premium property and I would definitely stay here again.

A beautifully presented cottage with all the amenities, excellently located on the edge of Abberley Village.

Very clean throughout, and decorated to a high standard. Thoroughly recommended.

What a lovely property, clean and tidy and very welcoming, everything as perfect as you would expect it.

Great property to stay in a very peaceful part of the world Nice size property and very comfortable Owners are friendly and helpful Highly recommended as a place to go for a relaxing time.

plenty of walk around the local area if you take your 4 legged friends Would definitely go back Hot tub was very clean and maintained, no issues with wasp nests as mentioned by previous reviewers

Probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.

Very spacious and comfortable. We were a little concerned about the wasp nest mentioned in previous reviews but there was no sign of one and only had the number of wasps around you would expect for August. The owners live across the courtyard so on hand if you need anything, but otherwise you are not disturbed. Also there are no cameras, despite someone else's review! I can only assume they confused a camera with light sensors! Would definitely recommend!

Had a lovely stay in comfortable cottage with everything you need.

Location perfect to relax and enjoy peace & quiet. Enjoyed walking and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening.

Lovely cottage, ideally situated for touring local day's out

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful area.

Enjoyed our stay, rooms were comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked with crockery, glasses and pots/pans. Plenty to do in the local area, however found the local pub (the manor) a little pushy and over priced in contradiction to other reviews on here. Before we arrived we noticed a recent review highlighting a wasps nest, this still hasn’t been dealt with and impacted our time as we had a number of wasps inside the property, there was no easy way to deal with them, and meant we couldn’t have windows open to cool upstairs rooms. Hot tub was a lovely feature but felt in need of a clean.

We loved the property.

It is in a lovely location. There were plenty of walks for our dogs and many places to visit locally including Wyre Forest. We would highly recommend this property to any couple with dogs. The owners need to know that there is a wasp nest in the middle at the back above a dark brick just under the eaves.

It was a delightful converted barn and within easy reach of many outstanding areas, especially the Severn Valley Railway.

Good walks locally which our little Miniature Schnauzer took full advantage of. The local pub was good, even though the general manager and staff had only taken over within a few days of our arrival, very welcoming and friendly, food good too. The hot tub was a welcome treat helping us to relax after a full day of walking and sight seeing.

Lovely cottage In beautiful surroundings, clean, bright and airy although the kitchen was very dark and needed lights on at all times.

Bed linen and towels lovely and white, all sleeping pillows had protective covers too. Loved the little touches eg hand soap, cookies. Enclosed garden with maintained lawn and borders. Bed side lamps brilliant with usb ports Great hot tub and bath lovely and deep. Would recommend a grab rail in the shower as it’s very slippery and possibly another hand rail going up the stairs. Not to use highly perfumed products on the scatter cushions in the lounge due to possible allergies and asthma customers. We did feel very uncomfortable being watched as we noticed a camera on the owners property overlooking the garden and hot tub area. The owners live next door probably only 50 foot away. The photos however do make the property look bigger than actually was especially the shower. Loud Geese and cockerel that seemed to crow at the wrong time of day lol

We had an amazing stay at The Little Beehive and would definitely recommend.

We went from the Monday-Friday and took our dog with us. It was in the most scenic area, we went on some lovely walks and had a lovely meal at the local pub. The property itself was clean and cosy, the hot tub was an extra added bonus it was lovely and we got an amazing week weather wise. We will defiantly be back! Thank you for an amazing stay. Sophie & Connor (&Walter)

Cottage was as described, clean, tidy and well maintained.

Loved the hot tub and the enclosed garden. Lovely area with plenty to do and nice walks to go with our dogs. Egg cups, a tray and extra towels and tea towels would have been appreciated.

Beautiful clean stay in a wonderful village.

Great location for Severn Valley Railway, Wyre Forest and more. Welcoming hosts and lovely cottage

This is a beautiful dwelling.

Everything you could want is there. I would definitely recommend the little beehive. Location is good for visiting the different areas.

Fabulous cottage - spotlessly clean, very comfortable, quiet location and wonderful hot tub!

We had such a relaxing stay, and the Easter goodies were a lovely additional touch. Thank you!

Everything about the cottage was perfect.

The owners were lovely. Definitely will be going bck again

Lovely little house to stay in!

Quiet and calming, with lovely walks and countryside to be emersed in. Hot tub in garden is a bonus, but felt slightly on show to the other house in shared courtyard, the fences are high but not high enough to shield you from view! Overall a lovely place to stay, despite the torrential rain we really enjoyed ourselves and was so nice to have an actual enclosed garden very rare that it isn't shared or just secured with a bit of rope to be "enclosed", so thank you for that! Will be recommending to friends/family 100%

Lovely, clean, quiet, relaxing location.

The Little Beehive was certainly a home from home. Beautifully warm during a rather "fresh" week in February/March. Hot tub was a wonderful addition. Well located for days out to Westmidlands Safari Park and Severn Valley Steam trains. Good walks in the local area and would recommend the local pub/restaurant/Inn for an evening meal. Only criticism would be lacking of info on local points of interest.

We certainly enjoyed staying in the Little Beehive.

The property is easy to find, spacious and decorated in a fresh modern style. The little garden is private and secure - such a boon for dog owners . A hot tub is a real treat and this was easy to operate well maintained. We enjoyed walking the local pub and the Norman Church. We only ate at the pub once - lovely food but being Gastro Pub was a bit over our budget - no scampi and chips here . The description of the property and facilities is accurate and covers everything I can't add anything else

We loved our stay at the little beehive!

The property was comfortable and quiet. We particularly enjoyed the little garden with the hot tub.

The cottage and decor was beautiful.

The Christmas tree was a nice touch, thank you. The kitchen was well equipped including T-Towels. The bathrooms had hand soap, towels and toilet paper. This side of things was brilliant. The cottage was a bit warm so we turned down the radiator theromostats as to not waste energy. Our dog loved his stay and the local walks. It was a lovely peaceful Christmas. The only thing we were not happy about was that the dishwasher had not been emptied properly and there was a pool of stagnent water in the bottom which was rather potent to the nostrils and turned the stomach. Then we discovered that we had to wash EVERY plate, cup, and utensil especially the serving spoons, plastic utensils and whisk and container... there were still food on these items!! We could not find a sweeping brush, dustpan and brush or a mop to clean floors while we were there. Only a hoover was supplied. I would have liked to mop the floor where our dog was in and out of the building. A washing machine would have been useful too. I didn't realise there was not one. I should have read the description more carefully. We did not use the jacuzzi as we were not sure of the hygene issues. Also, an update on the matresses would not go a miss. I didn't know that 1970's style sprung mattresses still existed, I tossed and turned with springs in my ribs most of the night. Other than the hygene and matresses, this cottage could have been sooo much better. A lovely building in an oustanding area.

The Little Beehive is a beautiful property, well maintained and in such a lovely rural area.

The hot tub is such a luxurious added bonus that we really enjoyed. All rooms were spotless and had everything we needed.

The Little Beehive is a lovely clean spacious dog friendly cottage in a great location.

Peaceful and quiet with a super hot tub to relax in ,it is a great place to stay if you want to visit the many attractions in this area we would highly recommend this cottage if you are thinking of visiting this area.

Lovely weekend break at the Little Beehive, beautiful cottage, with lovely walks around.

Near an extremely friendly village and fabulous local pub with lovely food, drinks and atmosphere. Thank you for a relaxing weekend break.

We enjoyed our stay at The Little Beehive, it was a really good location (we found it easy to find too) and there was plenty of space for 2 adults, a 9 month old baby and a labrador.

The garden is secure for a dog and a good size too. We found the house warm and comfortable. However we did find the master bed mattress uncomfortable as we could feel the springs in it. For anyone who has a bottle fed baby, the microwave is too small for the tall mam bottles but we were able to boil sterilise them.

We had a great stay in the Little Beehive, a lovely and comfortable barn conversion.

Really well equipped and well appointed property, a couple of minor omissions; an electric shaver point (unless it was hiding somewhere) and a hook on the bathroom door. Plenty to do in the area or stay in and relax in the hot tub. We would certainly return and heartily recommend The Little Beehive.

A wonderful bright and spacious cottage, set in a very rural quiet location.

Extremely clean and comfortable. Well equipped with all you need. Great location for exploring the local area. And the added bonus of a hot tub. Would love to stay again.

Thankyou for a fantastic week celebrating our Ruby Wedding, the cottage is beautiful has everything you need and is in an ideal place for visiting surrounding villages and Forests whether walking with the dogs or just out for the day, and not forgetting the Hot Tub too !

we loved it and will certainly be looking come back again .

We had a great time at The Little Beehive, it was just as advertised.

We especially enjoyed the secure garden for our dog and of course the wonderful hot tub. We stayed for 2 weeks and were given clean bedding and towels after week 1, which were very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect accommodation, spotlessly clean in a very quiet picture postcard village.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful, quiet, relaxing, everything you need, set on outskirts of gorgeous, friendly village, we were sorry to miss the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, it was lovely to see the the preparations the "Queen-crows".

Spacious, private and very clean. The hot tub was wonderful. The downstairs loo seat needs tightening by the way, a very minor thing :-) Thank you

Situated in such lovely surroundings.

Great walks and a lovely pub within walking distance. The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything you need. Great to come back and relax there with added benefit of the hot tub. Hosts are wonderful should you need anything.

We had a fantastic stay.

The cottage was clean ,comfortable and well equiped.This cottage is presented to the highest standard and we cannot praise the owners enough.The hot tub was a welcome addition ,but best of all we were able to book our stay from Saturday to Saturday.We wish more cottages had this option.

We had a lovey 4 night break with friends.

Made good use of the hot tub. Beds really comfortable. Great pub down the road The Manor Arms. Good walks right on your doorstep. Will definitely come back.

Thank you so much for our stay.

We absolutely loved it. Perfect location, great facilities and the owners were always on hand if we needed anything. I would highly recommend staying here and I think we will be back soon.

A fantastic, clean and comfortable property in a beautiful and peaceful location.

It has everything you need and the hot tub is amazing. The owner was very welcoming and attentive with any issues. We will definitely recommend and hopefully return in the future. The only thing we would recommend is tall glasses in the kitchen and some drawers in the bedroom.

Lovely stay, only snag was the hot water running out.

But would visit again. Thankyou

Had such a fantastic 4 night break!

Beautiful cottage, beautiful countryside, very clean, had everything you could need and more. Lots of effort has obviously been put into making the place feel homely. Hot tub amazing! 10/10 will be returning!!!

We had the most lovely relaxing stay!

So comfortable and felt at home straight away. Hot tub was amazing and the owners had everything ready for when we got there. Thank you and we hope to return x

Stayed at the Little Beehive for 2 nights.

It was delightful - very nicely done, very clean and had all the things we needed for a very comfortable stay. Made good use of the hot tub, and the hosts were very responsive when we text them. We had a lovely stay, very impressed.

This is a perfect little property, beautifully presented, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Definitely worthy of 5 stars and I would happily recommend it. Every attention to detail has been considered, it is situated in a beautiful location and the friendly owners are close by if needed. We would not hesitate to return.
