Welcome to Bayberry Meadows & Cottages – a beautiful courtyard setting of stylish converted cottages, surrounded by fields and trees synonymous with the heart of rural Warwickshire.
The site comprises four cottages, clustered together, containing three 2-bedroom duplex apartments, plus a ground floor apartment – with a large group room with vaulted ceilings, and a social coffee house.
The site is small and compact enough to feel secure and welcoming – but with lots of interesting spaces to be part of the group, or to spend some quiet time.
Bayberry Meadows and Cottages has its own, dedicated and caring team – who provide a full and diverse daily programme of therapy, which is founded on our own research and academic work regarding environmental enrichment. This programme combines group therapy, fitness and social connection – modelling a positive behavioural programme that is supported following discharge by our team, to support long term success.
We truly believe that we have created something very special, here at Bayberry. We want you to feel comfortable, supported and positive about your future – and will answer your questions and guide you throughout the process.
Family members or professionals are welcome to contact us, too, and we can provide more information on the suitability of our programme for your family member or patient.
Warm and Cosy Cottage
All of our rooms are single occupancy – with either a private en suite, or a bathroom shared with one other person.
Comfort and design are the key factors here within the Cottages – providing an oasis of warmth and tranquility – in which to recover.
Comfortable beds and sofas, eclectic furniture in a ‘country farmhouse’ style, mix with contemporary pieces in vibrant velvets combine to provide interesting and soothing spaces.
Each cottage apartment offers additional living space, and a snack pantry – convenient to help yourself to food and drinks (all provided) and a lounge in each cottage is equipped with TV and freeview. Bedrooms also have TVs and there is WiFi throughout. Food is provided by our chefs and dietary requirements are catered for.
A sunny patio with plenty of furniture provides an outdoor gathering space, while gardens and orchards are a place to walk in the fresh air.
Relaxation and Comfort, Connection and Activity
The group centre is the hub of social interaction and support.
This is the focal point of the site – a place to gather, chat, play games, watch movies, visit the coffee house and engage with your therapeutic groups. This entire facility supports up to just eight people at a time – allowing support and attention for all.
The lawn to the side of the cottage is a place to stand and gaze into the distance…across fields and to distant woodlands, with an apple orchard to the rear if you wish to wander a little further away to reflect. Depending on the time of year, our vast array of fruit trees provide apples, pears and myriad berries and herbs…as well as our ever popular strawberry patch in season.
The programme – the reason that we’re here
We’ve created a beautiful, comfortable, safe and tranquil place in which to recover – but that’s only a small part of what Bayberry has developed. With highly qualified clinicians, a caring and supportive team, we use our extensive experience and skill to take you on a journey to recovery with an aim that is, quite simply, life transforming.
We understand that the best results are seen when therapies are combined, so we use a wide range of treatments to achieve the best possible outcome. Our programme is well respected and achieves excellent results, ensuring that each individual is equipped not only with a short term recovery model, but tools to continue their recovery for life.
And, of course, once treatment is completed, we’re here for the longer term, too. Successful completion of our pioneering Bayberry programme provides free access to 3 years of twice-weekly, live online support groups – allowing clients to manage their recovery around work and other responsibilities.
Rooms Available
Groom's Cottage
Groom’s Cottage offers two bedrooms – both are double rooms (single occupancy). High pitched ceilings ensure these rooms are bright and airy with a sense of space. Beds are comfortable, and the property interior is largely finished in wood, befitting the heritage of the buildings. A bathroom (with bath and over shower), a lounge and pantry complete the facilities in Groom’s Cottage – providing more of a suite of rooms, than just a bedroom.
Just two clients share this cottage apartment – with their own bedrooms, pantry, dining area and a comfortable lounge with TV.

Facilities
Coffee House and Activity Centre
We’ve reimagined Bayberry Meadows and Cottages as a real-world creation of our research and work in enriched environments to support wellbeing and recovery. To this end, we’ve created a coffee house and activity room as a focal point for our well-being programme and social activities. We wanted to create an environment that models a lifestyle that can continue at home – so we’re including real-world and achievable day to day structures that are important in sustaining positive change.
