  The cottage was lovely but a number of issues really impacted negatively upon our stay and little was done by way of a compensation gesture other than a sorry.

  The property is very isolated, which is fine, BUT we had no phone coverage or WiFi for two of our four days so we could not contact anyone, nor could we watch the advertised Sky Glass TV or use laptops or tablets ; my husband could not do any of the work he needed to do and we had to go out during the day to work rather than fully enjoying our break. As there were no pubs, shops or restaurants within five miles, we were effectively trapped as we could not even phone a taxi to take us out for the evening. We also have elderly parents who we could not check upon which was very worrying. We missed some of the basics as in soap, shampoo or shower gel and there were no teatowels available; a small thing but surprisingly necessary. We missed the usual 'Welcome Hamper' although the lovely maintenance man did bring us a bottle of wine.Hot water was somewhat limited and only a quick shower was really possible. I have a chronic back problem and always book accommodation with a tub; but having a bath was not possible due to limited hot water supply. The cottage has a septic tank and we did experience some issues with flushing the toilet, somewhat embarrassing. We did love the cottage, and I do not wish to be negative but I honestly feel prospective guests need to be aware of potential problems. The setting is gorgeous and the pub we visited, The Miners, was incredibly welcoming but, we were disappointed by the issues we experienced, even more so that we were not offered anything by way of compensation. Sadly, I would not stay again.

  Such a great property!

  We came here for our mini-moon after we got married end of March, start of April. On arrival we found some tasty basics and delicious brownies from their farm shop. It was clean and tidy on arrival with clear instructions on how to use the hot tub and the house rules. Loved the section in the folder about activities and recommendations! And the bed was so comfortable with fluffy pillows. We found lots of local actives to do including dinner at Buckland Manor, cinema with dinner at The Regal Evesham to watch Dune Part 2, and The Lygon Arms Hotel and Spa for a Spa Day. But really enjoyed spending our time at Parlour Barn as well, with the hot tub, DVD options, and lighting the fire with some of the firewood provided. Unfortunately it was pouring with rain during our stay so wasn't able to try out the walks that were shown in the folder provided. The only thing that didn't make this perfect was the sofa because it has clearly aged and is peeling so blankets were provided to cover it but kept slipping when we put the recliner out. So all in all, highly recommend!! Such a fantastic place can't wait to visit again, want to also thank our hosts for being so kind and helpful during our stay and also allowing me to return to collect my left belongings after!

  We stayed at Red Brick Retreat in November.

  Mike the host was great, very friendly, funny and put us instantly at ease. On arrival there was welcome gifts of prosseco, cake, eggs, bread, butter and more. The cottage itself is super cosy, clean and decorated beautifully. It has everything you could need for a break away they haven't forgotten anything. The hot tub is big and very clean and comfortable with built in lights. You're not allowed to go in the hot tub after 10:30pm which isn't ideal for a romantic break but we still loved it. There was no smoking and for this I would suggest allowing a designated outside smoking area as long as guests leave it how they found it. The hot tub was cleaned regularly but unlike some other cottages where the owners turn up without letting you know, Mike would only come through the garden to clean it when he knew we were out or said he would text if we werent going out. Which is really great and adds to the privacy. This cottage is in the owners garden and is right next to their house and the neighbours, this wasn't a problem for us but if you're looking for something more remote then it is worth noting. The bed was super comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for Mike he was very kind and a great host. We've given 5stars because it deserves 5stars.

  Had a very comfortable stay.

  The interior is very comfortable, decorated well and very cosy inside without feeling cramped. The outside space is lovely with the view from the hot tub which is stunning. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. My only criticism is the quality of the WiFi, we didn't have a problem until the 4th evening when the WiFi connection was lost and did not come back before we left so we had about 48 hours without a connection. Normally this wouldn't bother me but as there is also no mobile signal and no 4G available inside the property, it was was completely cut off. Added to that was the Sky Glass tv (which was amazing) relies on the WiFi to be able to watch anything. I appreciate that when you're away you're not watching tv but in the evenings this is important and more so when you can't contact anyone or get access to online facilities. Apart from that though we really enjoyed it and I would recommend staying here. We would love to come back again in the summertime and get a different experience that comes with that time of year.

  Absolutely excellent!

  ! My husband and I have just spent a week here and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The barn is spacious, well maintained and extremely clean. Our hosts provided a welcome pack of freshly made sourdough bread, chocolate brownies, apple juice and home made apple chutney (particularly awesome!!) which was greatly appreciated after our long drive. The shower is a good size, powerful with plenty of hot water and very clean. The bed was a good size and we found it comfy and not too firm. The kitchen again was very clean and provided all we needed as we made our own evening meals most days. We used the hot tub every day after a day exploring the local area and it was great. The recline facility on the sofa provided the ideal way to end the day. The central location made it easy to visit Worcester, Warwick, Chelteham and Glouscester.
