Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful property in grounds of Clive’s of Cropthorne farm and shop/restaurant. Plenty of lovely food to try and delicious sandwiches we bought as we arrived. (The name of the house is actually The Heath not Gatekeepers cottage and is situated on the left as you drive in. This needs changing to avoid confusion.) Freddie was extremely helpful and was in contact with any queries. Modern and very clean, good sized rooms and gorgeous kitchen. Decent fridge freezer. Beds are comfortable and showers are powerful. We left bath mats for people to use. Pershore is a pretty town, The Pickled Plum is a fantastic pub to eat. We visited Midlands Safari, Ludlow, Borton on the Water, British Motor Museum, Diddly Squat Farm Shop and much more. Could use proper wardrobes and dressing tables for the rooms. But we got round this. All in all a great stay in a picturesque location We had a great time.
