AMAZING ( YOU WILL RETURN)

The 2 bed barn conversion is amazing. ( Photos don't do it justice). Spotlessly clean, large enclosed garden for the dog. Lovely gift pack on our arrival left by the owner Samantha. She was so helpful when I had a couple of general queries. Grt local pub 5 mins walk away. Grt walks . Broadway is only 15 mins away by car and Evesham 10 mins. Once you've stayed here you'll definitely want to come back. It's home from home.

A wonderful place to stay and escape

We had a fabulous 4 night stay at the Byres in February. The property is fantastically well equipped - everything you can think of is in place and the quality of the equipment and furnishings is first class. Everything was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack on arrival was very well received, and again, great quality. Sam couldn't have been more helpful in letting us use her hose to clean off a muddy dog and in supporting us through an unfortunate incident with a large pothole and a volvo tyre - the pothole won! The property is really well located for numerous gorgeous walks straight out of the door and equally just a brief drive to stunning Cotswold villages and towns. We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful - and really very good value - break.

Christmas break

Absolutely fantastic stay for the Christmas period!!! The most comfortable we have ever been during a cottage holiday. The owners have really thought about the home comforts. The chritmas tree and decorations were beautiful!! Nearby to the surrounding villages. We highly recommend The Byres and are planning on returning again later this year.

Good location for exploring.

We had a wonderful pre Christmas break at The Byers, Elmley Castle myself my husband and our little westie. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need, good quality furnishings and very warm and cosy there was a lovely Christmas tree and some decoration also. The Byers is a very good location to explore The Cotswolds with Broadway less than a 10 minute drive away beautifully decorated for Christmas, with a great selection of shops, bars and cafes. The local pub The Queen Elizabeth Inn is a 5 minute walk from the cottage that is a not for profit pub, restaurant and cafe owned by a group of locals, good food, good choice of drinks and a great atmosphere. The only point I would like to make is that the cleaners had left a descale bag in the kettle which we were completely unaware of and after making a cup of tea on arrival we felt very sick, it wasn’t noticeable in the bottom of the kettle so just be aware…….. We also had trouble connecting to the WiFi on arrival but after a quick phone call someone came and we were reconnected.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a short break - Monday to Friday staying at The Byres from 10 November 2025. What a wonderful find this was. The barn is absolutely stunning with lots of home from home touches including, dishwasher tablets, coffee pods and even some milk and cookies. Our dog loved roaming the beautiful secure garden, if he went missing we’d find him in the main bedroom looking out at the pond in the garden of the main house. Elmsley Castle is a lovely village we used the pub The Queen Elizabeth for dinner one evening and had a wonderful breakfast there the next morning. The barn is ideally situated for visiting the villages and towns in the Cotswolds - you do need a car for getting about. All in all we had a fantastic stay, Samantha was very welcoming and helpful. If we and when we visit the Cotswolds again we would definitely look to stay here again.

A fantastic cottage is a beautiful village

This is probably one of the best cottages I have stayed in. It was spacious and very comfortable and extremely well resourced. There was a large enclosed garden which would have been amazing if I had brought my dog. You would need a car to get around but there were many beautiful and interesting things to see within 30 minutes of the cottage...and far too many for just one week. The village boasted a great pub only a few minutes from the cottage door too.

Fantastic Place to Stay

What a fantastic place to stay! Elmley Castle is a charming village with a good pub within easy walking distance of the property, a quiet base from which to explore the many Cotswold towns and villages, all within easy reach by car. The property itself is beautifully presented and furnished to a high standard, providing everything you could possibly want in a holiday home from home. With great outside space to the rear it provides privacy and tranquility, perfect for winding down at the end of the day. The owners live on site and were very accomodating, but never imposing. We'll definitely be back next time we visit the Cotswolds.

Wonderful short-break

We can't recommend The Byres highly enough. The cottage was so comfortable, clean and well-presented. Every detail was catered for and made our holiday very enjoyable. Located in a very pretty Cotswold's village with an inviting pub at the end of a scenic walk through the surrounding hills. Thank you for a great stay!

Stay at The Byres

Stayed for a week in very hot weather. Fans provided and lovely shady seating area in peaceful garden much appreciated. Beautiful barn conversion was high spec and very well equipped. Location was perfect with Worcester, Tewkesbury, Stratford Upon Avon and Cotswolds villages all easily reached in around a 30 minutes drive. Lovely quiet and private setting with own parking area in village with pub serving great food a 5 minute walk away. Good supermarkets a very short drive away, Waitrose was our favourite! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Superb cottage in a great location 10/10

We had a lovely week at the Byres, its is a superb cottage & was ideal for the 3 of us (elderly Mum, me & partner). We especially loved the gorgeous, quiet, private garden, a perfect place to sit out in and enjoy BBQs. The Queen Elizabeth Inn is very convenient & great for beers and excellent food, with friendly staff. The barn is in close proximity to the key Cotswolds villages as well as many other attractions. It was an excellent choice and we would definitely stay there again.

The most wonderful cottage

Fortunately Sam had been able to prepare the cottage earlier so we didn't have to wait until 4pm which was an added bonus. I don't think the website does this cottage justice. We have stayed in many different cottages in different parts of the UK but we all agreed that this was simply the best. It's spotlessly clean and well maintained and light and airy given the high ceilings and plenty of windows. The interior is so tastefully furnished and all the extra touches such as fur throws give an added feeling of luxury. The underfloor heating throughout the cottage is fabulous and makes for a very cosy experience and definitely a warm floor in the bathroom is missed since being home. The kitchen is fully equipped with every utensil that you could need, even weighing scales. Sam had kindly provided some essential provisions and a lovely cake too which was a lovely gesture. The beds are so comfortable with crisp white linen and again fur throws. The master bedroom has the most beautiful outlook onto the pond. The rainfall shower was great, plenty of hot water. Great thick towels too for drying off. Great enclosed garden too which our Rhodesian Ridgeback loved with great views of the countryside. It's also in the best location with easy access to all the surrounding Cotswold towns. Also an added bonus was the Queen Elizabeth Pub 5 minutes from the cottage. A buzzing atmosphere with very friendly locals and good pub food. If you're looking for something more than quality pub food then try Da Luigi Italian and Michaels Mediterranean both in Chipping Campden both of whom accept dogs and the food at both is divine as is the service. We couldn't have had a better weekend and can highly recommend The Byres.

A true magical find!

What can I say..Everything about our stay was absolutely magical. From the moment we walked into the barn, we were taken aback by how stunning it was. It’s spacious, light and breezy and decorated with incredible taste. It’s super clean and little touches like providing hand wash, sponges and dishwasher tabs was fab. The coffee pods and biscuits were also very welcome . The beds were super comfy, the towels were fluffy and the garden was big and we enjoyed sitting out having a bbq on our first night. We took a stroll around the local village which is super sweet, and there are plenty of attractions near by which you can reach by car. If you want a tranquil & luxurious stay, this is for you and I would not hesitate to stay here again.
