Parker’s was a 2nd follow on Cotswolds stay after another cottage in North Wales booked through Cottages.com. Kim was excellent in terms of communication and everything was spotless & welcoming on our arrival. The cottage is very comfortable & cosy with a well equipped kitchen. It’s also a great location for visiting places like Gloucester; the famous little Cotswolds villages as well as Worcester and even Ross on Wye. Thanks Kim for your great attention to detail.

Another wonderful stay in this peaceful cottage...we relax straight away. Such beautiful walks straight from the door or up onto the Malverns for views across numerous counties. The little local shop in Cradley is very useful and friendly or the larger store in Colwall offers all you would need.We shall be back this Summer with our bikes to explore the quiet little lanes and a sundowner on the balcony.
