Our space
Welcome to our luxurious and peaceful home in the Worcestershire countryside. The Pigsty, a genuine one, was converted in 1983. It is situated in the rural village of Birlingham. It has a village-only road so no through traffic. There is no pollution, you can see the stars at night and hear the birdsong. There has been little housing development during the last forty years.

Tucked away by the River Avon it is amazing how close it is to major road links. Stratford-upon-Avon and a visit to the theatre is memorable, Racing at Cheltenham and Worcester has been enjoyed by many. Shopping at Cheltenham and Birmingham is special and concerts at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. Pershore is only three miles away and has its cinema and theatre. There are lots of high-quality eateries and pubs nearby for everyone to enjoy.

The cottage faces south and overlooks the spacious garden with uninterrupted views across the River Avon to Bredon Hill. The sunset over the Malvern Hills to the west can be spectacular. Historic cottages surround the Pig-Sty the neighboring cottage being the oldest in the village.

The open plan downstairs offers uninterrupted views across the garden to Bredon Hill. It comprises a large fully-equipped kitchen with all the appliances you could need including an induction hob, conventional oven and microwave/oven fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area is on the west side with doors opening onto an outside covered patio. There is an Ercol table and chairs for six people. In the dining area is a wood burner.

In the sitting area, there are two three seater sofas and two comfy armchairs giving plenty of seating to watch the TV which is situated on the wall. There are windows all round, with bifold doors opening onto a south facing patio.

Off the open plan area is the downstairs double bedroom with an exceptionally large en-suite shower room.

Moving upstairs, the main bedroom has a king-size bed, the room has cupboards on the galleried landing, which leads to a large family bathroom/dressing room.

At the far end of the cottage there is the twin bedroom with two single beds. The unique windows give fantastic views and the room can also be used as a relaxing place for a coffee or an evening drink watching the amazing sunsets.

Moving outside, the landscaped garden is enclosed with the original black iron fencing. There is a large lawn providing plenty of space for children to play. It is a cottage for garden lovers, with fresh herbs by the door and a sitting area amongst the shrubs. Within the garden is a rare Gingko tree planted 40 years ago.

There is a choice of patios whether it's a coffee with views over Bredon Hill to watch the sunrise in the morning or a BBQ on the west-facing patio watching the sunset. Fully equipped outside kitchen with gas BBQ.

We look forward to welcoming you to my cosy country cottage in Birlingham, Worcestershire!

About the host

Host profile image
Charles and I converted the pigsty 40 years ago and I have been running an enjoyable business ever since.

We have loved meeting all our visitors.There was no bathroom upstairs and there was need for upgrading.

There has been a demand for a ground floor bedroom and shower room.
Upstairs the bathroom is a little different as it combines with a dressing room..
But very relaxing to lie in the bath and look out of the dormer window.
Although the bedrooms are small there is plenty of cupboard space.
The third bedroom is at the gable end.
It is very versatile There are two single beds enjoying the fabulous view to BredonHill. There are also two small chairs which convert into children’s beds.
Shaped electric blinds ensure that the room is blacked out
I’ ve always enjoyed helping guests Many have travelled from all over the world.
I like to welcome guests but if this is not possible there is a key in the wall.

Why they chose this property


The location is second to none.
The cottage offers peace and privacy.
The village only road ensures only local traffic.
