The pretty market town of Evesham lies within the Vale of Evesham, in a horseshoe of the River Avon, within driving distance of Worcester, Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon. Evesham and the surrounding area is famous for its market gardening and the town has an array of individual shops, tea rooms, craft and antique shops, many traditional pubs, an Art Deco cinema and thriving arts centre. Steeped in history and mentioned in the Domesday Book, Evesham has a number of beautiful black and white timbered buildings, namely the 15th century merchants house in the Market Square, and the remains of Evesham Abbey are believed to date back to the 8th century. The area offers many lovely walks with Shakespeare’s Avon Way, Wychavon Way and The Heart of England Way all close by. Evesham Country Park is well worth a visit with an extensive garden centre, well-stocked farm shop, courtyard shops and restaurant, as well as a 130-acre estate criss-crossed with walks, or take a stroll up Bredon Hill home to an Iron Age Fort, Roman ramparts and numerous old standing stones all within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearby spa town of Malvern dates back to the Bronze Age, attracting plenty of visitors with its antique and craft fairs and auctions throughout the year, and the ancient cathedral city of Worcester, birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar is also close by.

We were in the area for work, and the location was perfect for our needs. The cottage was well-equipped and ideal for those travelling with dogs, plenty of space and great for dealing with muddy boots after a day out. The only minor downside is that itâs located opposite a pub/restaurant, so thereâs a bit of light and some noise on the weekends. However, it didnât detract too much from our overall experience. Overall, it is a lovely place to stay, especially if youâre travelling with furry companions!

We have marked 4 for accuracy as a shop was never to be found and there was no indication in the literature in the cottage to say where it was. Re 4 for really maintenance. A bed side table lamp that did not reach a socket, and no instructions on how to operate any of the kitchen appliances was to be found. Despite these two smallish points, (and two days of torrential rain) we really enjoyed the whole break made all the more enjoyable by the cottage warm and cosy cottage.

The cottage had everything we needed. Even squirrels in the garden for Dashi our bullterrier to watch from the sun room
