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!

I can't say enough about the majestic and natural beauty of this property. It's so special! The views are phenomenal and the stillness and quiet are something to behold--you won't hear any man-made noises, anything you hear is from the natural world. It's beyond peaceful. It's restorative. It's healing. I also can't say enough about Marian, the owner of the house. She goes ABOVE and BEYOND for her guests in a multitude of ways. She is beyond helpful and just a lovely woman. I cannot recommend this house enough, it's a piece of heaven on Earth in Birlingham! It's perfection.

The Pigsty was the perfect location to get away and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the English countryside while being within distance of a fantastic pub. The house was lovely, clean, comfortable and well appointed and equipped. It had everything we needed. Everything went very smoothly. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in the Pig Sty. The owner was welcoming and informative and keen to ensure that we had a good time. My wife is in a wheelchair and the owner communicated with us and made accommodations such as facilitating a wheelchair accessible entry to the property so that, with support, my wife was able to enjoy the beautiful location. The property is situated in a great location to explore the Cotswolds and surrounding areas and the views from within and outside the property were stunning. We would happily recommend staying at The Pig Sty.

Fantastic Property in a great location.

We stayed with Mirian throughout the Cheltenham Festival week whilst working on a tradestand. From the off Mirian was extremely welcoming even leaving the fire on for our arrival that was much needed after a 4 hour drive from Norfolk. All rooms were clean with all of the appliances required for a much needed getaway. Great location that if we had more time I would of loved to explore being set in a lovely location. Highly recommend.

The property is in a lovely quiet location not far from the cotswolds. There are some lovely walks close by and the walk to the top of Bredon Hill is definitely worth it. The property is really nicely done, warm and has everything you need to self-cater which isn't always the case. The bathrooms are clean, the shower is good and the beds are also comfortable so all in all a great relaxing place to stay. The host was very welcoming and easy to contact and we would come back and stay again
