Cousin’s reunion

After many years apart we finally got together for a meet up – what a weekend! Fun, food and wine was the theme ;-) The cottage was a lovely, quirky place to host our reunion and Richard and Jan were both very helpful and friendly.

Family Xmas

Our party of nine spent Xmas at Ivy Cottage. We had a wonderful time - it was cosy and charming. There was a log burner in the dining room which we enjoyed using. Jan and Richard, the owners, had decorated a tree and made the cottage very pretty, with a thoughtful welcome box of Xmas goodies. They were quick to respond to any queries I had prior to our trip and also over Xmas.

Quiet space away from bustle

Had a lovely time in this quaint cottage. Accommodation for the 7 of us (4 adults and 3 children) more than sufficiently spacious. Well-equipped kitchen made meal prep straightforward. It's set in a smallish village, with easy access to nearby towns and walks that challenged our younger city-dwellers. Only thing I'd add is some wifi access, not that we didn't manage perfectly without it.

Wonderful stay at Ivy Cottage

Prior to our stay Jan was very quick to answer any questions we had. Helped me find someone to make and deliver a birthday cake for my grandson. Ivy Cottage is a beautiful home that all of us loved staying in and our age range was quite wide ( 4 yrs to 60).

A getaway trip in the heart of Cotswolds with children.

The cottage is very cozy, the rooms are spacious, two bathrooms quite new, a small but correct kitchen, a very capable dining room and a small lounge. Every thing was clean. The garden very preserved, super nice. Space for 2-4 cars. Richard and Jan very attentive and kind.

April weekend at Ivy Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Ivy Cottage. The only regret was that it was too short, but we hope to visit again sometime in the future. It was a real home-from-home with plenty of space for 9 of us, and the most beautiful garden which caught the sun all day. Richard popped in to see us the day after we arrived & immediately sorted out a small problem that had arisen. A very friendly & charming host, matched by his lovely cottage. We had lived in Winchcombe throughout the 70s, but had never visited Bredon's Norton before & we had missed a gem of a place. Highly recommended all round.

Charming house in a lovely spot. The kitchen is rather small so think carefully if planning any ambitious cookery.

Beautiful house in very quiet village

The house was lovely and very comfy. It's situated in a very quiet village. There isn't a village shop or a pub but the next village of Bredon is only a mile or 2 away. We had a great stay at Ivy Cottage.

Lovely 5 days (including New Year's Eve)

Spacious and warm home with access to some lovely walks. The owner is friendly and helpful. With 11 of us sharing two bathrooms (one with the only access to a bedroom) a bit of forward planning was required (!) but it was manageable thanks to a combi boiler giving hot water at all times. Hope to return sometime in a different season.

Lovely cottage in beautiful location

The house was very charming and the right size for 9-10 people. It has a lovely garden which was where we spent most of our time. The owners were really friendly and helpful in providing information on the surrounding areas and useful recommendations. Would definitely visit again!

Lovely house and garden in charming village

We had a great time at Ivy Cottage for a family get together. The house had everything we needed. The garden was particularly pleasant for a BBQ or "just chilling". The local village was very friendly with some amazing old houses, and a real farm shop which made and sold the best bacon we have ever had. The walks up the nearby hill gave beautiful views. One night we took advantage of the delivered 3 course meal by Jennie, which was superb. Richard and Jan were very helpful with information before the visit and popped in to say hello, then left us to it. Further afield the countryside and villages were also very beautiful

Family get together

Ivy Cottage suited a family get-together perfectly, enclosed garden to corral small children and dog. House had everything we needed and layout suited all of us, lovely walks in a peaceful setting. Suberb!

Perfect cottage for a great weekend

We stayed at Ivy Cottage for a weekend get together with a group of friends and it was the perfect place. The cottage is beautifully presented, very comfy beds and a great shower. Lovely communal spaces including a dining table that easily seated 10 adults. We enjoyed the outside space and some really nice walks around the local area to local pubs and the cricket club. Plenty of parking for us all as well. Overall a great place and would definitely recommend.
