Connor

Great place to stay! Came 3 years ago to propose to my now wife and we came back for our honeymoon. Lovely just like before and the location is great, super clean and comfy. Close to some great places to go for the day bewdley is well worth a visit. The Manor pub for food and drinks is amazing super friendly and a even better thing dog friendly. The local walks are another great bonus with maps for walks in the welcome pack. Cant wait to come back again.

Jackie

Lovely place would love to come back again! There were just a couple of issues stopping us giving it the full 5 We had an issue with the shower but that was quickly resolved by the owner. There was nowhere to put toiletries in the small shower and no anti slip mat. There were instructions for pretty much everything except for the hot tub we only found the welcome info etc the day before we left as they were hidden in a drawer! The hot tub had a bad musty smell when you open the lid & bi test strips etc. We're only mentioning these things to help Besides that we had a lovely time and felt very comfortable in the Little Beehive!

Elaine

No complaints at all but I would like to make a couple of suggestions Please include a warning in the description that dogs are NOT permitted upstairs. I only say this because our dog has always slept in her dog bed on the floor next to my Sons bed since she was a puppy. Leaving her downstairs crying was heartbreaking & lead to sleepless nights for all of us. Including this in the description of the property would help future clients to make an informed choice. The rear gate to the garden is just on a latch, it blew open on a number of occasions so might I suggest a locking device is put in place for security? A simple slide bar would do the job.

Fabulous location, love the hot tub. Really helpful hosts. Thank you

Andrew

From start to finish we had an amazing comfortable stay. As a single dad with 2 young kids and a well behaved British Bulldog, this property made everything so easy with plenty of space. Property is cosy and warm, the hot tub is massive clean and held the temperature well. Every aspect was thought about well with everything provided for cleaning. Anybody leaving anything negative should be ignored. Shower and bath were perfect and the kids being fussy, one likes the bath the other prefers showers. Hot water supply was as expected at home. A massive bonus having a downstairs toilet too. One little comment, maybe a new frying pan needed and possibly a 2nd little one. Otherwise kitchen supplys were brilliant. Our Doggie had 2 bowls supplied and a blanket too, enclosed garden for her to run around was a massive godsend. Thank you to the owners you have an amazing place for us to enjoy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Ps. Thanks for leaving a Monopoly game, now the kids are addicted!! Lol

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Little Beehive and would definitely visit again. A lovely cottage in a rural village location. The property was well presented and very comfortable, exceptionally clean and spacious, and very well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. The garden was completely secure and perfect for our two small dogs. Although in a farm location, the only noise we experienced was from the cockerel and the occasional passing farm vehicle, not a problem at all. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Jackie

The cottage was lovely but would have liked a bigger fridgefreezer also a washing machine would have been handy. The garden was smaller than we expected but very secure for our fir babies

The cottage was immaculate and the pictures do not show just how big this cottage is. The owners were very friendly and introduced themselves on arrival to my husband whilst he unpacked the car. My little boy didn't want to leave. We took our little dog and the walks were amazing even if we did get a little lost, we ended up in a lovely little pub that was dog friendly. The highlight has to be the space, the hottub and the quietness and surroundings. We even stumbled upon a field of alpacas on our walk and the views were amazing. I have already recommended to a lot of friends and family and would definitely book again in the future.

Ideal Base, lovely surroundings, great walks for the dogs and a fabulous hit tub

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country.

Sandra

A fantastic little cottage with hot tub, perfect for a mini break. The only suggestion I would make would be to have a line drier so you can dry off wet swimsuits towels for the tub. Would definitely stay here again

Heather

Everything was lovely and we had a relaxing time away. 100 would recommend

Great cottage in lovely location. Equipment quite basic. Bath towels too small. No cleaning products so not able to clean property properly when we left. No outside lights by hot tub. Hooks near hot tub would be good for hanging towelsbath robe.

Micheal

Had a very enjoyable stay, lovely cottage, lovely countryside. We didn't feel that either pub was easily walkable, narrow dark lanes and little or no footpaths. Overall we had a good time and visited some great places.

Gemma-mai

Lovely home and location. Clean and clutterfree. Did have a few flies in the house but that is to be expected being in the countryside. Overall, was a lovely and relaxing holiday.

Kamlesh

We had a wonderful stay, beautiful property great location. Especially enjoyed the hot tub

Deborah

A really good quality property. A lovely place to stay.

The property was in a lovely quiet surrounding and it was such a nice break. The property had everything we needed and the hot tub and garden was a great bonus.

Racheal

A wonder spacious but homely retreat positioned far enough away from the world to relax but central enough to go exploring this beautiful part of the country. Everything supplied for a cosy home from home experience and a dwelling that has exactly what it says on tin! Cannot thank our hosts enough

The cottage was immaculately clean, bright and very well equipped.

Lovely property and well kept. Really comfortable. Enjoyed touring the local area and visiting some excellent pubs and restaurants.

Katherine

The cottage was immaculately clean, bright and very well equipped.

Loved The Little Beehive. Ideal location for our needs, having family living nearby. Definitely a favourite and hope to return soon.

We stated with our two dogs. All of us had a relaxing break. Property had everything we needed and more. Its spacious and clean in a lovely location, a short walk to a lovey pub, the manor arms and a short drive to Bewdley and Stourport.

Graeme

Nice to have outside light. Gate difficult to use. Key collection point could be easier to find. Doesnt need to be hidden away. Whistling radiators.

Sharon

Absolutely loved our weekend at The Little Beehive it was a well needed break for a team of support workers who are used to giving, but not taking time for us. It was a chance for us to unwind, and thats what we did. The Little Beehive was a home from home, everything you need and more. Cosy, comfy and cute. Wed love to return for our next break

Fabulous place to stay in a lovely area . Very friendly owner . Lovely local pub nearby. Would stay again

Louise

We really enjoyed our week here, the barn was beautiful and surroundings perfect. Abberley Common was visited most days as I am currently not very mobile due to a recent knee replacement. This was on the doorstep and perfect for walking our two dogs. The hot tub was blissful and frequented at least once a day. The only things I would mention as observations not complaints in any way would be to have fridge freezer instead of an under counter fridge with ice compartment. With a full weeks fresh food shop delivered we struggled to fit everything in and there was only two of us, I don't know how a family of 4 would cope ? Also I would have preferred a washer or washer dryer to a dishwasher. As there was a hot tub we constantly had wet swimwear and wet towels from the hot tub and shower with no means of drying them.

We had an excellent stay at the Little Beehive, the property was very clean, well stocked and fit for purpose. There were some lovely additional touches that added to experience and the hot tub was amazing. We stayed here with my inlaws and they have two dogs and high standards. They found nothing to complain about and the dogs were also incredibly happy and comfortable. The local area is picturesque with great walks and we loved the sound of geese and cockerels in the morning although my inlaws didnt hear them. We did have a requirement to speak to the owner I broke a glass and it was nice that she is next door and so understanding and helpful. If I had to make an small negative observation it would be that I would describe the lounge sofas as adequate not comfortable but this was never a problem and didnt detract from our enjoyment of our break away. We had a great stay in this premium property and I would definitely stay here again.

Steven

A beautifully presented cottage with all the amenities, excellently located on the edge of Abberley Village. Very clean throughout, and decorated to a high standard. Thoroughly recommended.

Great property to stay in a very peaceful part of the world Nice size property and very comfortable Owners are friendly and helpful Highly recommended as a place to go for a relaxing time. Plenty of walk around the local area if you take your 4 legged friends Would definitely go back Hot tub was very clean and maintained, no issues with wasp nests as mentioned by previous reviewers

Probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. Very spacious and comfortable. We were a little concerned about the wasp nest mentioned in previous reviews but there was no sign of one and only had the number of wasps around you would expect for August. The owners live across the courtyard so on hand if you need anything, but otherwise you are not disturbed. Also there are no cameras, despite someone else's review! I can only assume they confused a camera with light sensors! Would definitely recommend!
