Cedar Barn welcomes guests through a gated entrance, leading to a gravelled drive and a generous enclosed garden that spans a third of an acre. Surrounded by open countryside and finished in warm timber cladding, this detached barn conversion offers a tranquil retreat near Evesham in Worcestershire. For guests travelling with electric vehicles, a charging point is available, and there’s ample parking for all.

Step inside and let the warmth of underfloor heating guide you into the open-plan living space, where exposed beams and natural light create a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is well-equipped for relaxed cooking, with everything from a coffee maker to an air fryer ready to assist with anything from light breakfasts to celebratory dinners. Meals can be enjoyed around the dining table, while the sitting area invites you to unwind on a plush sofa or armchair, surrounded by thoughtful artwork and the glow of an electric fire.

A cloakroom with WC and heated towel rail is located on the ground floor, while upstairs, two inviting bedrooms offer restful spaces to recharge. The king-size room features countryside views through Velux windows, with electric shutters and a distinctive apex-shaped timber frame surrounding the Juliette balcony. In the twin room, you’ll wake to sweeping views of both the Malvern Hills and Bredon Hill— the westernmost peak of the Cotswolds—gently reminding you of the beauty that surrounds you. A sleek shower room with walk-in enclosure, basin and WC completes the first floor.

Outside, the enclosed garden provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee or evening barbecues, with a patio and gravelled area ideal for alfresco dining. Children and dogs can roam freely, and the nearby River Avon offers scenic walks and opportunities to spot local wildlife.

When it’s time to venture out, Broadway Tower is within easy reach, offering panoramic views across sixteen counties, a historic tower to climb, and a deer park to explore. In Stratford-upon-Avon, discover Shakespeare’s birthplace, enjoy a performance at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and take a boat trip along the River Avon. Cheltenham also makes for a rewarding day out, with its elegant Regency buildings, independent shops, and vibrant food scene.

Cedar Barn is a peaceful and well-positioned base for exploring Worcestershire and the Cotswolds, offering countryside charm, thoughtful features and scenic surroundings throughout your stay.

Just returned from a lovely week at Cedar Barn.

It is a quiet and private property with a great safe outdoor space for the dogs. Our two border collies spent most of their time outside! It's in a great location with plenty of walks on the doorstep and for the wildlife. The property is very comfortable with a good deal of thought in making it homely with all you need. Spotlessly clean. Booked again for next year!

Thank you for your wonderful review of Cedar Barn. We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay and that both you and your dogs made the most of the property's private outdoor space. It is especially lovely to know that your border collies enjoyed spending so much time outside, and that you appreciated the peaceful setting, local walks, and abundance of wildlife nearby. We're also pleased that you found the property comfortable, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean. We know how important those details are in helping guests feel at home during their stay. The greatest compliment we can receive is a return booking, so we're thrilled to hear you've already booked again for next year. We look forward to welcoming you and your dogs back to Cedar Barn for another relaxing holiday. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Team

We have just returned from a very pleasant week in Cedar Barn near Pershore.

We were a group of 4 adults who were attending a wedding in nearby Pershore Abbey. The Barn was extremely comfortable and met our needs very well. Our first priority was that it had to be dog safe and dog friendly. This was indeed the case and our dog was allowed out in the garden without us having to watch her every minute. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, although there was only a small ice box in the fridge and no freezer. The only 3 suggestions I have to improve the experience are 1. It would have been better to provide guests with 2 bath and hand towels as 1 of each is not enough for a week. 2. It would have been nice to have a television in one of the bedrooms as my sister and I were football widows. 3. We tried our best with the recycling but there was no clear guidance in the information provided as to what should be placed in each bin. However, these are only minor issues. Overall, our experience in Cedar Barn was great and I think the owners have done a great job in styling it. Thank you for the experience.

Lovely barn, surrounded by acres of farmland.

The garden area was huge, and is ideal for pets to run around. The barn was very clean. We loved a lot of the accessories within the property. There were great views from the bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable. In the kitchen was everything you could need; air fryer, microwave, dishwasher, etc. There was a basket with dog biscuits, toys, etc. which was nice. There's plenty of places to walk locally and Pershore, for instance, is only a few miles drive away. As it's set within a rural setting you can expect a degree of insects, but we didn't find them to be a huge issue. The tap on the sink was stuck in one position. So, that would need attention. Had a lovely time at the property and would highly recommend it.

While Cedar Barn and its location are genuinely amazing, our stay was severely let down by poor cleanliness and inadequate property management.

Cleanliness & Maintenance Issues • Lack of Initial Cleaning: Upon arrival, we had to spend several hours cleaning the property ourselves. The floors required mopping three times to be properly clean, and we had to vacuum an excessive amount of dog hair left by previous guests that was sticking to our clothes. • Linens & Appliances: We encountered issues with dirty bedding and towels. Additionally, the refrigerator was completely non-functional. Although an engineer was sent out following our complaint, they incorrectly claimed it was fine; the fridge was 100% not working correctly throughout our stay. • Bug Infestation: The property suffered from an overwhelming bug infestation. This is clearly an ongoing, pre-existing issue, as we found three broken bug zappers stored away in a cupboard. To prevent this in the future, fly nets need to be installed on all windows and doors. Customer Service & Management • Unhelpful Agency Support: When we contacted Sykes Cottages regarding these issues, we were told they were closing in 15 minutes and promised a callback the next day, which never happened because it was a Saturday. • Subpar Standards: A 5-star listing through Sykes and Manor Cottages should guarantee a high standard of presentation, but this property fell drastically short. The owners urgently need to overhaul the management and cleaning protocols for this property and carry out independent spot checks to ensure it matches its advertised rating.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. The cleaning products you requested were delivered on Friday evening; however, had you advised us of the wider cleanliness concerns, the housekeepers could have returned to re-clean the property. The issue of dirty linen was not reported during your stay, and replacement bedding and towels could have been provided promptly. While we appreciate that insects can be frustrating, the photographs provided do not indicate an overwhelming infestation. As Cedar Barn is located in a rural setting, increased insect activity during the summer months is unfortunately common. Sykes Cottages did attempt to call you back on Friday evening but were unable to get through and sent an email instead, which was opened that evening. The fridge was also inspected by an engineer and found to be operational. At the time, the area was experiencing a heatwave and the appliance had been stocked with a large quantity of newly purchased food. The owner sincerely apologises for the housekeeping issues experienced and has taken the decision to appoint a new housekeeping company to ensure higher standards going forward. Best wishes Manor Cottages
