    “Cottage was very pretty and has been maintained well by the owners.”

    Owners were very helpful in welcoming us to the house. Good location for exploring Cotwolds. Sadly on the first night although the bed was comfy we found the pillows far too soft so next day we had to go and purchase some. The biggest issue for my wife was being next to a church with a clock that chimes EVERY hour, which did disrupt her sleep. Really I do think this should be highlighted in the listing.

    Owners were very helpful in welcoming us to the house. Good location for exploring Cotwolds. Sadly on the first night although the bed was comfy we found the pillows far too soft so next day we had to go and purchase some. The biggest issue for my wife was being next to a church with a clock that chimes EVERY hour, which did disrupt her sleep. Really I do think this should be highlighted in the listing. We would not have booked this location. Unfortunately by thursday she was so tired we opted to leave a full day early. I can see many people have been happy with Bears Cottage, but it really didn't suit us.

    Dear Adrian Thank you for your kind words about Bear's Cottage and for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to hear that you found the cottage pretty and well-maintained, and that you felt welcomed upon arrival. We are however, sorry to learn that the softness of the pillows and the sound of the church clock disrupted your stay and affected your comfort. We understand how important a good night’s sleep is, and we apologise for any inconvenience this caused. Had we been made aware during your visit, we would have done our best to assist or offer alternatives where possible. While many guests have enjoyed the unique character and peaceful setting of Bears Cottage, we understand that certain details may not suit everyone. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. Susan & Phil Property Owner

BRETFORTON

Broadway 4 miles; Evesham 5 miles.

The ancient village of Bretforton lies in the Vale of Evesham amid beautiful Worcestershire countryside. This charming village boasts its own Community village shop and a 600-year old village inn, owned by the National Trust, which hosts many music, folk, food and drink festivals throughout the year. The village of Badsey is 1.5 miles away and has a well-stocked shop, Post Office and butcher, plus just 4 miles away the quintessential English village of Broadway offers individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels. The world-renowned Lygon Arms has been popular for centuries and now offers spa facilities that can be enjoyed at pre-arranged times. The surrounding countryside is famous for its fruit growing and market gardening, and Bretforton is a great base for exploring the many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages, as well as the Cheltenham Spa with its Gold Cup Festival or Worcester with its magnificent cathedral. The birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, is just a short drive away and offers many historic buildings, theatre and the River Avon. The area has an abundance of National Trust properties, museums, lovely walks and cycle trails, making this a great place for a relaxing holiday at any time of year.
