My wife and I and our two daughters, ages 6 and 10, spent a relaxing week at the cottage in late July. The garden was in full bloom and the English countryside was lush with greenery, honeysuckle, and wildflowers. We made several trips to area villages and tourist sites, but I think our favorite times were spent in the cottage, which is well designed and comfortable. Our girls really enjoyed playing in the garden and on the large lawn, and they especially loved the tree house, where Marian helped them set up a doll's tea party. They also enjoyed counting up the cottage's pigs (decorative ones, that is). We had a great time and appreciate the warmth and hospitality of Marian and Charles very much.

We initially rented the Pigsty because of its proximity to our 99 year old mother. We have stayed here for two weeks during the last four years and have come to enjoy the cottage for the beauty of its setting near the Avon River with distant views of Breedon Hill. It has a beautifully maintained English country garden together with lawns, herbaceous borders and mature trees. The cottage inside is immaculately laid out and there are beautiful views from most windows.

We also appreciate the gracious hospitality of Marian and Charles who are always available if we have any queries.

We have enjoyed our stays so much that, even though mother will not live forever, we will continue to come back to this idyllic spot. We recommend the Pigsty without reservation.

We had a lovely one month stay at the pig sty cottage in Sept/October 2011, we both were sad to leave. Marian and Charles were extremely gracious, their friendlyness and hospitality were an added bonus. We have no hestiation in recommending this comfortable little cottage and we would gladly return for another extended stay in the future. The garden and views from every room were lovely, everything is just as the website describes. The cottage is well looked after and feels like a home. The village pub and quality of food there were also very good. A few miles away the market town of Pershore is great for weekly shopping and dining also.
The village of Birlingham is very central with lots of sight seeing available within an easy drive, Blenheim Palace, Bath, Stonehenge, Warwick, Worcester, Wales, Stratford Upon Avon to name a few.
Thank you Charles and Marian we loved it at the pig sty cottage and we wish you both well always Frank and Carol

We enjoyed a week of comfort, luxury and generosity at the Pig Stye. A trully bucolic setting with beautiful views from all the windows and a traditional pub serving freshly cooked meals 3 miles up the road (Defford Inn - also warm and welcoming). With peach and quiet in abundance we had a super relaxing holiday and will be back. A great spot for any time of the year.

I spent one week in the cottage together with my wife and two children: 18 and 12, during our summer holidays. The property is very comfortable and all facilities have been accurately described on a webside. It is perfectly located in a small village with a quiet surroundings. A nice garden is a big advantage. You can make a lot of interesting trips from there and a have an excellent rest after them. We have visited Stonehenge, Salisbury, Wells and Cardiff but also beautiful places located very close like Tewkesbury, Wichcombe and book-town Hay-on-Wye. You have also a very good opportunity for theatre visits: we've seen "Midsummer night dream" in RSC in Stratford. For a dinner I can for sure recommend an Oak Inn in Defford, which is just couple of miles from the cottage. The owners are very friendly: they provided us with plenty of useful information and recommendations. They also make the efforts to improve the property: a new, very convenient parking area is a good example. The proces of renting the property was very quick and unproblematic: just exchange of a few e-mails. We will for sure keep very good memories of the Pig-Sty.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la petite bourgade de Birlingham et ce superbe gîte en pleine nature , très bien équipé avec une jolie vue sur la région ! .... un superbe "pheasant" parcourait chaque jour le joli jardin sur lequel donnait le gîte en bombant le torse pour bien nous faire voir qu'il était du coin ... le temps presqu' incroyable pour la saison a éclairé cette magnifique région et nous a permit de découvrir un patrimoine exceptionnel dans un cadre souvent enchanteur .... énorme !!!!

(Lexilogos Traduction)) We appreciated a lot the small village of Birlingham and this magnificent holiday cottage in the middle of nowhere, very well equipped with an attractive view on the region! A magnificent " pheasant " crossed every day the attractive garden onto which the holiday cottage looked by spray-painting the trunk to show us well that it was of the place. The weather almost ' incredible for the season enlightened this magnificent region and has us allowed to discover an exceptional heritage in an enormous often charming frame!!!!

We had a lovely few days at the cottage. Marian and Charles were friendly and helpful. My husband really enjoyed his birthday 'Mid -week Weekend'.
Thank you for letting us stay at such short notice.

The facilities were very comfortable and the cottage is ideally located in a pretty, quiet village that is easily accesible from the major motorway networks .We went to see King Lear at the new RSC in Stratford, visited the Heritage Motor Museum in Gaydon and went for some lovely walks at Croome Park and The Malverns.

Our American family of 4, with daughters aged 14 and 18, stayed 3 nights at this lovely cottage in late June 2010, after a week in London. We would have happily lingered here much longer. Modest in size, but filled with warmth and delight. Breakfasted on a private patio opened upon from the living room, with flowers overflowing the patio walls, a gentle hill banking away, and overlooking spectacular peaceful countryside. When we arrived, we found fresh eggs, wonderful bread and local jam, some wine, and plenty of directions and information about the area. Truly peaceful. Very short day trips to Wales, Warwick Castle, famous Cotswold gardens, or just great hikes in the country. We were welcomed in the village, and given cricket lessons at the cricket field. A place to stay and immerse yourself in local life. Our family would very happily return.
