Luxury Holiday Apartment With Exclusive Heated Indoor Swimming Pool And Sauna

The Retreat is the award winning luxury holiday annexe adjoining Wolferlow House, the former rectory, set in beautiful scenery on the Herefordshire / Worcestershire border.
The highlight is the exclusive use of a totally private 9m indoor heated swimming pool and a Finnish sauna - entirely to yourselves.
The Retreat comprises a luxurious double bedroom with en-suite shower featuring a king size bed and Chinese furniture. A proper fold-out double bed settee allows extra sleeping in the sitting area. Double doors and a Juliet balcony give views across the croquet lawn. The fully equipped kitchen is tucked in the corner of the generous living area with flat screen TV, comfortable chairs and a dining table. A wide double-glazed glass screen leads to an elevated paved balcony with outdoor seating and distant views over farmland to the church and Wolferlow Court.
The large gardens used to be open each year for the National Garden Scheme and include an orchard, wildflower meadow with ponds, herbaceous borders and distant views across farmland.
Well away from any busy roads the seven acre property is quiet, peaceful and private.
Attention to detail includes the provision of top quality bed linen, towels and towelling robes.

We had an amazing winter stay at this holiday home! The place was spotless, super comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The indoor heated pool and sauna were absolute highlights — nothing beats a swim and a good steam while it’s freezing outside! It really is tucked away in the middle of nowhere, but that made it even more peaceful. No noise, no crowds, just fresh air, starry skies, and total relaxation. If you’re after a cozy getaway with a touch of luxury, this is the perfect spot.

Easy to find with Google maps but nice and out of the way in a lovely rural setting to give you the experience of a retreat!All the essentials are provided to you on site, the pool and sauna, whilst not essential did start to feel that way after a couple of days. I did some work whilst there, the internet was very capable of teams meetings. There are some lovely views to be had. The hosts were incredibly friendly and full of local knowledge, though also leave you be in the peace and quiet on offer. I was given some of their apple juice which was frankly outstanding. You really do feel the space is your own as it is tucked away from the hosts main residence, and exclusive use of the pool was amazing.I enjoyed my stay immensely I'm sure you would too.

We had the loveliest time at the retreat.. We made good use of the pool and sauna, even ordered some pool toys for our stay whilst there.. This is a beautiful location with the perfect view of sun rise which I enjoyed. Lots of places and nice pubs to visit nearby, even went to Alton Towers one day. We would definitely stay again and recommend.

Chill Out

Tucked away down a little country lane, but close enough for a short drive to shops etc. Lots of places to visit locally. The property was exactly as described. Perfect for a few days spent relaxing, swimming and generally just recharging batteries. The hosts were lovely, on hand if required but otherwise we were left to enjoy the gardens, pool and sauna. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Me and my husband had an amazimg few days at the retreat. The apartment and pool were perfect for us and in an amazing peaceful location. Even though we didn't take our children, we know that they would have loved it especially the pool and orchid to run around. Thank you for the little getaway we needed, we definitely came gome feeling relaxed. Would highly recommended.

Amazing, property exactly as described, beautiful location, most relaxing holiday we have been on, was able to totally unwind, access to the swimming pool anytime was great, then a couple of steps to the sauna, finish of with a fun game of table tennis [beating hubby was an added bonus]. The information provided by the hosts was so detailed and provided everything from supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, GP access, Hospitals, they literally covered everything. We had the opportunity of having a couple of conversations with Jill who was lovely and always happy to help [not that we had any problems, was just getting some local knowledge and more information on the property itself]. There are lots of walks and the gardens are beautiful with access all areas. I will definitely be visiting again and have even sent the information through to family members who are considering a visit - Five stars does not seem sufficient but that is the most I could give - thank you Jill and Stuart

The perfect getaway..

We had a lovely time staying here,the owners gave us absolute privacy. We had the apartment and pool / sauna along with a whole orchard to walk in to ourselves. There are lots of bridle ways to go walking right on the door step. Our every need was met by our hosts. The only thing to note is the pool was quite cold but once you braved it,it was really refreshing! Would come again

We had a fabulous time on a family staycation. Our children 11 and 14 especially enjoyed swimming everyday. There is so much to do hiking, National Trust and English Heritage properties and lovely villages to explore. So much history. The apartment was well supplied, clean and served us well. Jill and Stuart are incredibly welcoming. Crumpet the dog was lovely too. Cannot recommend The Retreat enough.

Relaxing Christmas/New Year

The Retreat was a great place to stay for the festive period. It was warm, cosy and bright even on dull and rainy days. The kitchen was excellent and had pretty much everything we needed to cook and serve our Christmas lunch. The fairy lights and the Christmas tree outside certainly helped to make it festive. The pool and table tennis were absolutely lovely and we enjoyed having a swim every day. Would certainly be a great place to return to in the summer. We enjoyed exploring this area of Worcestershire, Ludlow, Stourport on Severn and the Severn Valley Railway on Boxing Day was a great day out. We would definitely recommend.

Great little oasis

We had a lovely time at the property. It has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The pool and sauna were definitely the highlight especially as English weather was predictably rainy. Yes the pool was a little chilly but the kids didn’t seem to mind and the sauna was amazing to warm up in after a swim. We enjoyed playing table tennis as well. There is no DVD player as described in the listing so something to keep in mind. We explored the local area a bit as well. The mappa mundi in Hereford cathedral was fascinating and we enjoyed the black and white history trail in Weobley. Overall a fabulous stay and we’ll definitely be back.

Relaxing Stay in the countryside

Overall a very nice stay at this property. We did work from home a few days so strong WiFi was important, so I did msg in advance if it would be suitable and was reassured. However we did find it patchy on speed - it was fine most of the time for streaming 5-8mb, but running virtual desktops or video conferencing it wasn't fast enough on the upload ~1mb. We actually managed to use some 4G with faster connection. So something to consider if you have to work from home. It's a remote rural location. Countryside and downs nearby are beautiful.
