“Fantastic accommodation set in an idiotic countryside location.”

Locals very friendly especially at the club in Church Lench and the pubs around Harrington. Only small issue was the lacking in enough toilet paper, kitchen towel, tea towels and fire wood for our three night stay. Maybe we had missed on the joining instructions that we should provide these ourselves. These were just very minor issues that did not impact on our enjoyment of our stay.

Hi Paul, We are glad you enjoyed your stay and all that the local area has to offer. Ref tea bags etc, we only provide a small qty as we expect guests to provide for themselves, we also only provide a firewood starter pack, but we did notice you had used all that was left. The property was left in a clean state, but for your awareness the downstairs windows were left open, fortunately we went over yesterday so were able to close these before the thunderstorm. Thanks again for staying we hope you had a safe journey home. Property Owner

“This property is lovely.”

Very comfortable, good quality bedding. Very well fitted out kitchen. Very large garden. In a beautiful location within very easy reach of Worcester. We were so pleased as we drive up the long drive. I was disappointed that the garden wasn’t secure, I always choose enclosed on the filters but can see now this isn’t the same as secure, there is a note on the details about not secure. We had to keep an eye on the dogs which was a shame and did have visits from 2 large (friendly) dogs I’m guessing from neighbours. There was a real issue with cleanliness, I wonder if this was a one off as can’t see anyone else mention. The fridge was obviously not touched as evidenced by the out of date curdled milk. There was biscuit wrappers on the floor in the bedroom and one of the toilets hadn’t been cleaned. It almost seemed like someone had rushed the clean as some of the kitchen cupboards were dirty and I felt the need to wash anything before using it. It was a lovely property and we had a great stay but I do think it needs a thorough clean.

“One of the best properties we have stayed in.”

Would definitely book again when time allows! Many thanks to the Owners and Sykes for looking after us so well. Kind regards, Elaine West and family including Aero our dog who was in heaven with so much space!

“An amazingly well stocked holiday home.”

Everything you could ever need and more. A lovely feel to the property and incredibly generous owners. The fact that dogs are made so welcome is a refreshing change! Would certainly highly recommend to others.

“What a gem!”

We had a wonderful 5 days at Little Acres Cottage as a couple with three dogs. The location of the cottage is fantastic, you are very private, with plenty of distance to the very few neighbours, and yet many interesting destinations in the Cotswolds are within easy reach. It is very quiet, except at peak times in the morning and evening there are hardly any cars at all and in the cottage you can't hear them anyway. The property is huge and great for dogs. The fence is not entirely dog-proof, but we don't leave our four-legged friends outside without supervision anyway, so this wasn't a problem. We watched squirrels and buzzards on the property and saw deer in the neighbouring field from the upstairs window, it was very idyllic. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cosy and has everything you need. We were especially delighted about the great kitchen and the big bath tub and the nice living room with the big settee, fireplace and TV, perfect for chilling on a rainy day in November. There are (small) beds, bowls and treats for dogs, as well as a thick folder with activity suggestions and tips. The mudroom in the entrance area is also very practical and the stone floor on the ground floor is easy to keep clean with dogs. Unlike many other holiday homes, dogs are allowed on the upper floor, but as there is carpet, you should make sure that their paws are really clean beforehand. We carried our dogs upstairs and downstairs because there are loveley wooden stairs which were a bit too smooth for our old dogs, but that was no problem at all. We had a great time here and were even able to extend a day at the last minute as there was a small gap left after our booking. Thanks to the team at Syke Cottages and the owners for their flexibility. We can warmly recommend this cottage, especially for romantic couple holidays, dog owners or families, and would love to come back.

We met with friends, we have 4 dogs, and this holiday home was absolutely perfect, homely and clean, plenty of space for us all, our dogs loved the big garden, and fellow deer

“The cottage was very spacious, comfortable and clean.”

In an easy location for travelling around the area. Very good communication from the owners.

“Very nice property, well decorated and clean.”

Plenty of garden space for my dog to run round! A couple of minor niggles but owners are already addressing them (and very good communication from the owners too). Separate utility area meant dog meals could be prepared away from main kitchen. Bowls, mat and treats provided too which was a nice touch. Would recommend and will definitely be staying here again.

“Good points: Clean, comfortable beds, comfy settees, great views of countryside, fallow deer and grouse visitors to the garden.”

Not so good: garden not secure for 1 dog let alone 4. Curtains downstairs are not full width of the windows, 1 plug for 4 sinks, electric gate has a mind of it's own! Electrics blow when you try to use the hob as well as the cooker

- Valerie, September 2024

Hi Valerie, Thanks for your feedback, I just wanted to thank your for visiting Little Acre and to reply to some of your feedback, Security for pets, as discussed on the phone a week before your visit we do not advertise that the property is secure for dogs but that we merely welcome, but our expectation is that you always watch your dogs when they are outside for multiple reasons 1. Their safety 2. The safety of the local wildlife 3. So that you can clear up after them We have now replaced the plugs so thank you for this feedback The gate seems to be working fine so I’m not sure what the issue was here? We have also now replaced the oven and hob so again thanks for the feedback on this issue. Once again thanks for your feedback, we do all we can do provide the best experience for our guests so your feedback is invaluable. Thanks Jamie and Chloe Property Owner
