Beautiful place, great attention to detail and an amazing host.
The accommodation was very well designed & very comfortable. The communications both with James & the housekeeper were immediate & helpful. The garden was quite beautiful. As a 'washer up er ' I would have liked a draining rack & a mop, small points.
The Dairy was delightful in every respect and the garden was magical, we were invited to use any part of this wonderful garden which was so appreciated. James was a very generous and thoughtful host and we had some lovely treats in our hamper. The dairy is well placed for visits to surrounding towns and sights, the circular river walk is worth doing as is the circular Bredon Hill walk. Croome (NT) property is well worth a visit. The local pub The Bell was also very good. Thank you James!
This is a real Wow! property….so clean, so beautifully thought out and with the most amazing garden. We’ve only ever stayed in one other RR which has come close to this, and we didn't want to leave. From the delicious home grown veg in the welcome pack, to the fluffy towels and stunning furnishings, with flowers from the garden dotted here and there….there really was nothing to fault. And we loved Pershore, Worcester and nearby NT houses. Thank you!
Amazing holiday property the owners are so lovely, the setting is so lovely too, spotlessly clean, the decor very nice and very homey, welcome basket with gluten free too was so welcome, will def be back, many thanks for a lovely week, x
The Dairy is located in the lovely village of Eckington. The cottage was warm, comfortable and superbly decorated and furnished. The gardens were beautiful and peaceful and even though the cottage had its own seating areas the owners opened up their vast gardens for us to enjoy. Lovely local walks from the door and plenty to see and do in the area.
Beautiful cottage , lovely welcome hamper , everything you wanted for a weekend away
The dairy is the most comfortable, attractive house we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything. The furniture and fittings are top class and James the host is always on hand (but in an unobtrusive way) to help. There is the most beautiful garden with tables and chairs to sit out. it really is superb in every way
One of the best places we have stayed - lovely hosts and a wonderful garden. In range of both the Cotswolds and the Malvern hills
Lovely secluded place. Very clean and well equipped which catered for our every needs. The welcome hamper was a lovely gesture and the log burner was perfect for chilly nights. Loved it…..Would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone.
Excellent accommodation at The Dairy with so many thoughtful touches around the property it may you feel instantly at home. It was also well situated in the vullage within walking distance of the well stocked village shop and two pubs. James the owner was on hand to answer any questions and provide helpful local advice. We have been staying at Rural Retreats properties for many years and would rank The Dairy as the best yet.
Perfection. The welcome package was exceptional and James was the perfect host.
A good and comfortable stay in a well equipped property set in a very pleasant and colourful garden with part private to property. The village is quiet, pleasant and interesting. Walks can be started from the property. It is well suited for visits to numerous gardens, houses and other places of interest. Well stocked village shop nearby.
Delightful property with welcoming hosts, in a quiet village, superbly appointed cottage in beautiful gardens.
Excellent accommodation to an extremely high standard. The best Rural Retreats property that we have stayed at.
It was lovely. Very comfortable and everything you needed from plentiful toiletries and local maps to a very nice hamper. The welcoming flowers and fruit were particularly nice touches
The Dairy has almost everything one needs and it was beautiful. Our hosts were charming and very helpful and friendly.
The owners couldn't have done anymore to help and the gardens were fantastic.
Well thought out and stunning cottage well done for having it on your books has restored our faith in you after a dissapointment last year.
This was an absolutely perfect property for us both to have a relaxing break mid Christmas. James was very welcoming and the house is wonderfully equipped. The gardens are beautiful and thanks to many helpful tips from James and information in the house itself, we walked miles, went to lovely pubs and had a thoroughly good time!
