What a gem of a property. Fabulous location in a chocolate box village. It provided all we needed and the massive garden was a absolute delight for our spaniel. The local pub was welcoming and served good traditional meals. Walking from the barn was in abundance. Highly recommend this home from home

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 Wonderful Stay at The Byres, Elmley Castle

We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Byres in Elmley Castle and had an absolutely fantastic time. One of the standout features of the property is the wonderfully spacious living area. It provided ample room for relaxing and socializing, making it feel like a true home away from home. We also loved the stunning garden – it was beautifully maintained and a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful Cotswolds atmosphere. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area. Elmley Castle itself is charming, and we found it easy to visit many great attractions and picturesque villages nearby. Overall, our experience at The Byres was exceptional. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located, and beautiful base for their Cotswolds holiday. We certainly hope to return! StayCotswold were great also great to deal with, responsive and friendly - Thank you!

September stay

Beautiful cottage in a fab village with a great pub. Some really good walks around the village. Good location for picking up all the tourist hot spots in the Cotswolds. Stayed at the end of September and the weather was cool and rainy however the cottage was lovely and warm with good heating nicely furnished and very comfortable beds. Would 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.

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

Lovely relaxing holiday

Had a midweek break at The Byres, beautiful cottage, comfy furniture, very stylish too. Lovely bathrooms, plenty of storage. The cottage looks out onto beautiful gardens, and a good private driveway. The village of Elmley Castle is small with a pub, village hall ( which had its “market” on when we were there! With local produce) a church and beautiful Cotswold houses. Only four miles or so from Broadway, six from Pershore and Evesham. We have been coming to the Cotswolds for thirty years, and it didn’t disappoint this time.

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful location

I stayed in this lovely accommodation for 4 nights with my elderly mum. It was perfect for her mobility issues-all on one level, no steps, walk-in shower. The furniture and furnishings are gorgeous lots of nice little touches, like the Plum & Ashby reed diffusers, which smell amazing. The kitchen is well equipped, although we ate out most of the time. (The Queen Elizabeth I pub is just around the corner and fully deserves the good reviews it gets). The beds are comfy and towels fluffy. We met the owners, who are very nice and very helpful. The weather stopped us from sitting in the beautiful garden, but we admired it from the comfort of the sofa! The property (which has parking) is not far from Broadway and the other pretty villages. My only tiny gripe, was that when I booked it, I asked for the twin beds to be pushed together to make a king, but they weren't. I emailed the Property Manager twice before we went away, and left a message on their answerphone, requesting a call back, but I never heard anything. I called StayCotswold, who were very helpful and said they would investigate the matter. 5* stay, we had a great time and I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home in the heart of the country

We loved every minute of our stay at the Byres. The property was clean, comfortable and had a personal feel. The town itself was quiet, but the surroundings were wonderful, with country fields and beautiful landscapes on the doorstep. Hosts were welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. We would really recommend this property, especially at Christmas time when it is beautifully decorated for the festive season! Thank you.
