Little Gables in Broadway is highly praised for its beautiful garden, comfortable furnishings, and perfect location. Guests appreciate the attentive owner and the property's charm and character. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is one of a cosy, well-equipped cottage ideal for family and group stays.
The majority of guests found Little Gables to be clean and comfortable, meeting high standards of cleanliness. One mention of insects due to the property's age does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
The location of Little Gables is consistently lauded as perfect, with its proximity to local amenities, the high street, and the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, making it an ideal base for exploring.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the house cosy, particularly noting the warmth provided by the Aga. A few comments about the desire for a power shower and more loungers suggest room for improvement in comfort amenities.
The property is well-equipped, with a special mention of the garden and private parking. Some guests experienced minor issues with maintenance and suggested upgrades to kitchen facilities, but overall, the facilities are appreciated.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to score this category. However, the owner's attentiveness and helpfulness are frequently mentioned.
Little Gables is an exquisite Grade II listed property dating back to the mid-16th century, situated in the idyllic village of Broadway. It is the ideal base for a family or group of friends who are seeking a relaxing break in this stunning part of the Cotswolds.
Park up to three cars in the convenient parking spaces in the shared car park to the rear of the property before unloading your bags and being greeted by the pretty rear garden bursting with shrubs and trees.
The rear door opens into the spacious and ornate entrance hall which provides space to store your coats, boots and umbrellas, before guiding you through into the characterful sitting room which has been lovingly decorated with smart wooden flooring, exposed wooden beams and dual aspect stone mullion windows overlooking the high street and back garden; the perfect room for a relaxed evening watching a film on the Smart TV on Netflix, whilst the woodburning stove creates a warming ambience for you and your guests.
Moving through the property, the dining room combines contemporary style with wonderful character and is a welcoming space to enjoy your home-cooked meals that have been rustled up in the bright and spacious open-plan kitchen/diner, which is well-equipped with everything you require to cook a delicious meal, whilst listening to some tunes on the digital radio.
Taking the staircase in the entrance hall, you’ll be led up to a wonderful shower room on your left and the beautiful triple aspect master bedroom to your right, containing a welcoming king-size bed and an addition single camp bed for a child (on request), with ample storage space.
Moving through the hall, you will come to the second bedroom which links the two sides of the house and is an elegant room with a king-size bed where you can relax and get lost in the pages of a compelling novel from the selection of books on offer.
Onwards through the property you will come to the staircase that leads down to the kitchen, which leads you to third bedroom overlooking the bustling village and contains a digital radio where you can listen to some relaxing music from the comfort of your double bed.
A further staircase from this hallway guides you up to the second-floor where you will find the stylish bathroom situated, with a freestanding oval bath.
Once you’re well acquainted with the internal rooms and you’ve unpacked your bags, head into the beautifully laid out with a manicured garden to be surrounded by pristine flower beds and leafy shrubs at its borders. Directly outside the property there is an attractive patio area which houses an outdoor table seating six, together with a parasol and charcoal barbecue and from here, Cotswold stone steps lead up to the lawn where stone benches provide a second seating area.
Once you’ve rested your head for the evening in one of the beautiful bedrooms, grab some breakfast at Hunters Tea Room before taking a leisurely walk around Broadway to discover an array of individual shops and restaurants, such as Cheltenham House Antiques, Blandford Books and Hamiltons Chocs & Sweets, where you’ll surely not leave empty handed!
Chipping Campden can be easily accessed by taking a scenic walk along the Cotswold Way walking trail and alighting at the War Memorial in Chipping Campden to enjoy a lovely walk around the 17th century market square before having a well-earned heart-warming meal at The Bakers Arms.
Heading slightly further North will bring you to the wonderful market town of Evesham, where you can visit the Almonry Museum and gift shop, and afterwards take a walk over to The Hampton Ferry which is a pedestrian cable ferry linking Evesham and the district of Hampton across the River Avon in the English county of Worcestershire.
Stratford-upon-Avon can be accessed in just over 30 minutes by car, which is the birthplace of William Shakespeare where there is an array of attractions for all the family to enjoy including The Creaky Cauldron, Shakespeare Centre, Stratford Butterfly Farm and the beautiful Bancroft Gardens, perfect for a day out with the kids!
For a fantastic holiday that you’ll remember forever, stay at Little Gables.
The charming village of Broadway, known as 'The Jewel of the Cotswolds', nestles beneath the Worcestershire hills. This quintessential English village, one of the most beautiful in the Cotswolds, offers a superb range of unique shops and boutiques, galleries and restaurants, but is also steeped in history with its origins dating back to Roman times. The world-renowned Lygon Arms has been popular for centuries, and now spa facilities can be enjoyed at pre-arranged times. Broadway serves as a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and surrounds with Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham Spa and Worcester within easy reach. With an abundance of National Trust properties, museums, beautiful walks and cycle trails, this really is a great place for a relaxing holiday, all year round.

The location is perfect, the property is stunning and well equipped. The owner has paid attention to detail and every room has character. The focal point for us was the kitchen as we spent a lot of time at the large dining table socialising. The owner was quick to answer queries we had regarding the AGA cooker. Our party consisted of 6 adults and 1 child and there was more than enough room for us all. I can highly recommend this property and owner.

We are back again in the new year to enjoy the experience all over again.

The house is lovely, with everything you need for a break away from home. It is very comfortable. The location is perfect for shops, pubs, coffee shops and the activity park. We have already booked to return in the Spring!
