Fantastic Stay

A brilliant home for exploring the Cotswolds. Sam was a great host and very responsive, answering our questions before and during our stay. The house has everything you could imagine, and the welcome pack was a huge plus. The large enclosed garden we brilliant - our dog and toddler both enjoyed running around. There was an added benefit of an EV charger giving us peace of mind we could charge up when needed. We would love to return again in the future.

We will be back

From the moment we stepped through the door it felt like home from home . Everything you needed was provided and of good quality . The beds were super comfy and the bedding was top quality. We loved what Sam had done with the bed throws . The only small improvement we could think of was the addition of a full length mirror . We have been to many holiday places over the years and The Byres is at the top of that list . We really hope to be able to come back again .

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent Cottage

Loved our weeks stay at The Byres, Elmley Castle, its centrally heated which makes it extremely comfortable. Also the fact we could do some washing is a great benefit The Byres is in a quaint little village although no shops only The Queen Elizabeth Arms which serves fabulous food. You definitely need a car to drive to the scenic towns of the Cotswolds
