"Bumble Bees amply fulfilled our expectations. Everything was as described, or better. Privacy combined with convenience to make sitting out a real pleasure, and the views over the garden and to the Severn Plain were magnificent. The flat was very well equipped: we also particularly liked the fact that non-essential items, like antique/retro clocks and radio, actually worked and were not mere ornaments. This feature suggested steady attention to detail, and to the creation of atmosphere. Speaking of which, the flat had a charm and a character difficult to capture in photos. The flow and layout of the rooms felt good, and there was space on every hand, with plenty of light and visibility where needed.We valued the fact that the town centre was an easy walk away, for us anyway. The general sense of relaxation was underpinned by the phone conversation we had with the owner a week before visiting. We found this reassuring, with an invitation to ring at any time of day or night if we needed to. We would have welcomed some written guidance to help us recycle materials, and we also found the outside bins full: perhaps we missed something. No other reservations at all.Definitely a 'Buy'."

"Poor attention to detail when being cleaned (bathroom bin was fall of waste, old newspapers behind sofa and no light bulb in lamp). This was rectified by Sara. On arrival had to go to neighbour for help to find way in. Welcome pack was meanest we have ever had in all our many years of cottage holidays. Under floor heating was hit and miss which you have no control over. It needs additional heating. Hot water was very good but one evening there was no hot water for either of us to have a bath. Rodents could be heard scratting and gnarring in the cavity above living room,when we reported this to Robin we were told that rats have to live somewhere and that because we were townies and this was the countryside, we didn't understand!"

"We had a fantastic holiday at Rosemary Cottage. The location was lovely, I like to go jogging and going through the village was beautiful, then straight out into the countryside in all directions, so much to explore! It really was a new and exciting jog every morning. The interior of the cottage/house was beautiful, lots of lovely beams, it had been done up so nicely. It had everything we needed as well as some lovely added extra welcome gifts, which made the stay even more enjoyable! The living room was lovely and cosy. We took our 8 month old baby who is not crawling yet and the place was great for him. I highly recommend the Cotswolds for a holiday and this rental accommodation makes a perfect base for exploring the region."

"We loved everything. The owners could not do enough for us for the entire stay, very helpful, friendly and kind people, even letting us use their private outdoor seating and BBQ area. There was everything you could possibly need and wish for in the cottage, small things such as dishwasher tablets and washing machine tablets were also provided, which I thought was a lovely useful touch. The Cottage was exceptionally clean throughout, very homely, full of character and the surrounding area was very peaceful and picture postcard! We arrived home yesterday and have already booked to stay again. By far the best holiday and accommodation we have ever had in this country."

Mr Simon Pickard, Brussells, - verified booking

"The owners were extremely kind and friendly hosts for our recent trip to Bretforton - in many ways an embodiment of the warmth of welcome that you feel throughout the village upon arrival. The cottage offered a secluded and comfortable base to explore an idyllic part of the country. The property offers plenty of space for a family to settle in and properly relax, without feeling in any way as though they are treading on each other's toes, and reassured that the owners are next door and ready to help with advice and support at a moment's notice. One of the more enjoyable holidays we have had in years! "
