We had a wonderful stay at the hunting lodge. A beautiful house in beautiful surroundings. Really comfy beds and good quality furnishings. Alison was really responsive and we wanted for nothing. We also really appreciated the cake and wine. Thank you!

Amazing stay in a beautiful house

Thank you for a wonderful stay . I welcomed 3 different groups of people during a landmark birthday celebration . Alison the house manager coordinated linen switchovers and immaculate cleaning and was very responsive to requests People commented on how soothing and comforting the house was , and I noticed people visibly settle into the calm atmosphere There are plenty of spaces to help large groups both have a quiet space and also gather as groups Kitchen is well equipped and we all appreciated the multiple ovens and dual dishwashers It would have been helpful to have a covered outdoor area in this heat - the umbrella did not really shield the outdoor table which limited its use during the heat of the day We used the hot tub both cold and hot , it was great and heated up quickly There is a business complex being developed next door which was noisy with construction - I’m not sure how this will impact on the atmosphere of the house although there is a high protecting wall and the house looks over the Cotswold hills with a beautiful view I think we would all come back in a heartbeat - very centrally located to many interesting places although you do need a vehicle

Great place for a large family gathering

Loved the quirkiness of this house and the grandchildren spent hours playing hide and seek as there were lots of places to hide! Provides good facilities for our large family of 14. The hot tub is great but as it says in the instructions it takes at least 5 hours to get to temp and needs a lot of wood which is provided, worth the effort though.

Comfortable warm house

House was warm, clean and comfortable, Kitchen was reasonably equipped, lovely cake provided. Location was good, close to Alcester, lots of local walks although we didn’t walk across the fields as too wet. There were 10 of us and plenty of room but might be a bit of a squeeze around the table with too many more. No instructions about recycling.

Large family gathering

The hunting lodge is a perfect venue our large family gathering - ten adults, two children and two under 18 months. The views are amazing and the peace is breathtaking. Everyone said the beds were too soft for them but that is personal preference. Plenty of grass for children to run around and of outdoor games. Loved the big table for all of us to eat together though the kitchen is small for the size of the property (a second kitchen is at the other end of the house). We paid extra for the wood fired hot tub and it was disappointing that it isn’t warm enough to use on the first evening. If you were there on a 2 night break, it would be hard to justify the cost against the useage.

Familly Break

Overall a great stay. A good spot for day trips and walks. A slight issue with some cluster flies but Alison was very responsive in offering a solution. We would recommend and stay here again.

Great New Year Family Stay

A beautiful, warm spacious house with gorgeous views. All bedrooms were comfortable and tastefully furnished. Bedding and towels to a standard one would hope for. Absolutely perfect for our family of 11 plus the dog. Kitchen well stocked, although in need of new chopping boards. 2 dishwashers were a great advantage. Hot tub fun despite having to cut down a forest to heat it! All was super, although we had to oven juggle, when catering as the large Belling oven wasn’t working!

The perfect family escape!

The most amazing building, full of history and character. Very well equipped, amazing views from every window. Lovely walks from the front door, great hosts making sure you are OK. We had a Tesco delivery (add the W3Ws reference to your order) which was great. Lovely spaces within the house, to be together as a group or have some time on your own. Don't miss out on the hot tub, it was amazing! Thank you so much for having us, hopefully we will be back one day!!

A pleasant stay with all you need

Overall a nice period property with many features and character. For getting family together or a large group it has everything you need. We felt that the property would benefit from improved signage for the road and whist it had everything we needed some could do either updating or improving to bring it up to the next level. Property was very clean throughout and with nice welcoming touches. It offers value for what is provided.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful setting

We stayed at the Hunting Lodge for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's 40th. The house is beautiful, in a gorgeous setting with lots of lovely walks on your doorstep. The house is well maintained, with all mod-cons whilst still maintaining its character and charm. All our guests noted they slept well and thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Alison, the housekeeper, was very attentive, sending a welcome email the night before our arrival and was on hand for any last minute queries we had. The only concerns future guests should note is 1) the walls are exceptionally thin, with little to no sound-proofing. As such, children were kept awake upstairs simply by adults having normal volume conversations downstairs, and 2) the house is located immediately next door to what appears to be a small industrial setting, which was empty during our stay but once filled again I could imagine would impede on the feeling of privacy.

Few days at Radley estate

Property was lovely, clean and in a good location. Customer service could be a little better as when I asked if we could potentially check in earlier I was told to check with the cleaner in a rather blunt tone

A very beautiful house and environment.

We had a three generational holiday and everything was perfect. The house is beautiful and all the furniture and fittings are of very high quality. The surrounding grounds are wonderful for walking and the dogs were living their best lives. So were we!

Family stay at The Hunting Lodge

A beautiful and secluded property with multiple cosy communal rooms inside and lots of outdoor space. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable and lots of wood was provided for us to be able to enjoy fires in the evenings. Lots of useful information was accessible online and texted to us in advance of our stay. One point to note is that the hot tub is wood fired and takes a bit of planning to heat up - I hadn't spotted this in the booking information but the effort was worthwhile as the younger members of our group enjoyed using it.

A Very Good Weekend Away

The marks above reflect a very good experience for our family. The condition was good with only a couple of minor issues. The comment on value Is difficult to answer as we would would always like to pay less but it was good value.

Family reunion

An excellent family weekend to celebrate an 80th birthday. Lovely comfy beds. Good to have two dishwashers. Tumble drier not terribly efficient so a clothes maiden would have been helpful. Overall, a lovely stay.

An amazing house in beautiful setting.

We all loved the Lodge, it exceeded expectations, inside and out. Beautiful view from the garden, hot tub was a bonus. Beds were comfy, decor was spot on. Only 15 mins from Evesham Station so we could pick up family from London. Really enjoyed the 3 mile, mainly cross country walk to the Arrow Mill. The only thing we'd add (cook's request!) would be a hand whisk, scales, and food processor - and maybe a measuring jug for cocktails! All 16 of us had a fabulous time, and have already rebooked for next year. Thanks so much for renting out such a gem!

Relaxing stay in stunning surroundings

Our family ranging, from eleven to 75 years old, had a fabulous few days here. The house is beautifully presented and comfortable, especially the beds. We had three dogs and six kids under fifteen and they all enjoyed the superb garden. The eco hot tub took a little work to get hot, but was so worth it. The surrounding area is very pretty, and the local town Alcester, has many independent shops, and a small Waitrose. We’d definitely like to visit the Hunting Lodge again.

Amazing house!

I took a group of golfers to this property for 3 nights. What an amazing house... it suited us because most of the beds can be split into twins. Talking of beds, incredibly comfy and super bedding! Plenty of bathrooms with super fluffy towels. The kitchen was well equipped {although the chocolate cake in the welcome pack did not last very long!} and having two lounges was fab. Oodles of parking too! I could not recommend it highly enough!
