About this property
Cosy Cottage is an inviting, pet-friendly retreat, perfect for reuniting with family, friends, or work colleagues seeking a warm and welcoming end to the day. Step through the front door and discover the heart of the home: a spacious, newly renovated open-plan ground floor with preserved character features and exposed beams. Three comfortable sofas invite you to relax and switch into holiday mode, enjoying your favourite shows on Netflix or Prime Video. The dining table, extendable to seat ten to twelve, has hosted many memorable meals and gatherings. The kitchen combines quirky charms with period features and is stocked with everything needed for meal preparation, from an electric hob and oven to a food processor and air-fryer. The shared cooking experience is enhanced by the aromas and laughter that fill the whole open-plan area. For relaxing moments, choose from a curated selection of books or gather for after-dinner games. At bedtime, four bedrooms offer various options: a double with an ensuite shower, a king-size with a bathroom across the landing, a charming twin next to the bathroom, and a single with a trundle at the top of the stairs—conveniently located by a ground-floor shower room. Start your day with a relaxing bath or an invigorating shower, then enjoy complimentary filter or pod coffee, speciality tea, or Yorkshire tea. For an energising walk or jog, the Ellenden Farm shop café is just 300 metres away, offering breakfast, light lunches, and homemade cakes—a favourite among locals and visitors. A Premier shop is also nearby, and the pub next door is ideal for quenching your thirst.
There are numerous scenic walks around the village, the lake, and the picturesque Lenches villages. Evesham, Fladbury, Pershore, and Bidford-on-Avon all offer riverside strolls, while Ragley Hall, All Things Wild Zoo, Hidcote, Spechley Park Gardens, and Upton-on-Severn are just some of the local attractions. The cottage’s central location—within 25 miles of major tourist destinations—makes it an excellent base for exploring The Cotswolds, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Oxford, Broadway, Snowshill Manor, Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stowe, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Malvern, Birmingham, Client Hills, and Burford. With ample accommodation across four bedrooms and a sofa bed, Cosy Cottage comfortably sleeps eight to nine guests. Its prime location ensures easy access to all the area's top attractions.
The thriving village of Harvington is situated in beautiful Worcestershire countryside close to the border with Warwickshire and on the Blossom Trail. Harvington boasts an excellent well-stocked farm shop and two traditional village pubs, one of which is a triple award-winning camra pub and both serve home-cooked food and local real ales. Harvington also has fishing lakes, a cricket pitch and an 18 hole golf course, and many walks can be enjoyed from the village, with the long-distant footpaths of Shakespeare's Avon Way, Heart of England Way and Wychavon Way running close by. The nearby village of Bretforton boasts its own community-run village shop and a 600-year old inn, owned by the National Trust, which hosts many music, folk and food and drink festivals throughout the year. The quintessential English village of Broadway has individual shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and hotels including the world-renowned Lygon Arms, which has been popular for centuries and now offers spa facilities, enjoyed at pre-arranged times. The surrounding countryside is famous for its fruit-growing and market gardening, and Harvington is a great base for exploring the many unspoilt Cotswold towns and villages, along with Cheltenham Spa, with its Gold Cup Festival, the magnificent Royal Forest of Dean and Worcester, with its magnificent cathedral. The birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, is just a short drive away and offers many historic buildings, a theatre and the pretty River Avon.
