Bear's Cottage, 67 Main St, Bretforton, Worcestershire, WR11 7JH

We arrived home at the weekend, having had a lovely relaxing week at Bears Cottage. It?s a beautiful cottage, that has been renovated so tastefully without removing the character feel! It was very clean, had everything you would need - plus more! The welcome goodies of milk, cookies and wine were very much appreciated. It?s in the heart of the village, with a Community shop across the road and the local pub less than 5 minutes walk. We?ve stayed in other cottages in the Cotswolds, but Bear?s Cottage is No. 1 for us! Phil and Sue, you should be proud of all your hard work - we enjoyed looking at the renovation photographs. We wouldn?t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it,

The ultimate family vacation! This beautiful cottage was perfect for our family of four (including two boys ages 11 and 13)The cottage was tastefully decorated and very clean. It offered all the amenities that our family required. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. Susan and Phil were perfect hosts from start to finish. Susan was very responsive to all of our planning questions and Phil checked on us several times during our stay.

The village... Oh the darling village! We fell in love with Bretforton. The village people are so

Susan and Phil, the owners of Bear's Cottage, have gone above and beyond in every way. Apart from the cottage having been lovingly renovated to a very high standard and totally in keeping with its age, they left us a card wishing us a happy stay along with some cookies, and Phil popped round on the first afternoon to make sure we had everything we needed and explain a couple of things in the welcome pack. Because of an e-mail exchange I'd had with Susan regarding our love for teddy bears, they had even left a couple of bears waiting to welcome us - a reall

Had the cottage been a disappointment our holiday would have been a wash-out on account of the deluges of rain. However, it was a delight - comfy, warm and spotless. We arrived to a welcome from Phil and a delicious cake made by Sue, so, with tea and milk provided, even fresh flowers in the kitchen, we got off to a great start. The decor of this restored cottage is serene and the pretty, well cared for garden lovely to look at, and, weather permitting, to sit in. The friendly community shop opposite is a great boon - daily newspapers, artisan bread and daily

Ideally situated for exploring the Cotswolds, Shakespeare country and beyond. Lovely, friendly village with good pub and community shop. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Easy parking and pretty garden. Phil and Susan are excellent hosts. This is our second visit - would highly recommend.
