About this property

A superb Lodge with own private heated Indoor Swimming Pool close to Stratford

The Ling Lodges is perfectly designed for larger groups and family’s to come and stay
and whilst ostensibly one larger Lodge it can be easily split into two separate Lodges in seconds simply by closing two internal interconnecting doors and so you then have effectively two self contained Lodges. You and your group decide on which layout suits you when you arrive - It’s truly just that easy. The perfect arrangement for larger groups then some might say!

Centrally placed, and within a few miles of all of the major motorway networks, the Ling Lodges are in an ideal part of the Country for meeting up with friends and family whichever part of the UK that they are travelling from. The Ling Lodges, with over 70 entirely independent Five Star traveller Reviews on Trip Advisor.
Designed specifically for use by larger families, Hen Parties, and Groups of friends, the Ling Lodges even has interconnecting doors between upstairs and downstairs so can easily become two seperate luxury spaces for a little extra privacy when needed - both spaces complete with superfast wi-fi.
Upstairs is recently refurbished and redecorated and totally double glazed with countryside views from all of the rooms. A large Living area that boasts a newly fitted, beautifully appointed, kitchen complete with superb Italian Designer Halogen Hob, Inbuilt Fridge, Oven, Grill, Microwave, Extractor Unit and variable downlighting with dimmer switches. There is a Dining Table with four chairs and countryside views out over the fields. The Living Room area has two Settees that will comfortably seat four people, and they fold down quickly and effortlessly to form two very comfortable single Beds. There is a television and DVD Player. There is also a varied selection of Games and Books for those quieter moments, and new fast wi-fi too.

A large double Bedroom, complete with a high quality Double Bed with a supremely comfortable mattress is situated off this main Living Room. There are built in Wardrobes, complete with plenty of shelving, and a large chest of drawers. Also ample room for the large good quality Cot that we will happily supply at no extra charge if required.

Go through a further door and you are in a well appointed modern, spotlessly clean, white fully tiled en suite Bathroom that contains the WC, hand wash basin with cupboard under, and separate shower, shaver point, complimentary loo rolls, hair dryer etc

Downstairs is also a lovely size with two completely separate Double/Twin Bedrooms and another large separate Living area. This also is recently refurbished and redecorated, totally double glazed, and a very comfortable ground floor Lodge with countryside views from all of the rooms.

This Living area boasts a newly fitted, beautifully appointed, kitchen complete with superb Halogen Hob, Inbuilt Fridge, Oven, Grill, Microwave, Extractor Unit and variable chandelier and spotlighting with dimmer switches. There is a Dining Table that extends to seat ten people. The Living Room has comfortable seating and there is a large 32" LCD Flat Screen television with Freeview. We provide an iPod and iPhone charger and Docking Music Station. There is also a varied selection of Games and Books for those quieter moments.

There are two large Bedrooms both of which contain luxurious single Beds. These Beds are complete with high quality supremely comfortable new pocket sprung mattresses. One of these bedrooms has an en suite with fabulous walk in Power Shower, WC and Washbasin. The other large Bedroom has two single beds and also has bunk beds and so can easily become a wonderful Family/Friends Room for four people. There is also a Flat Screen TV and DVD Player in this room. Both bedrooms have wardrobes, complete with plenty of shelving, and large chests of drawers. Also ample room for the good quality Cot that we will happily supply at no extra charge if required.

There is another separate and beautifully appointed modern, spotlessly clean, fully tiled Bathroom that contains the WC, hand wash basin, yet another fabulous walk in Power Shower, complimentary loo rolls, hair dryer etc

Quality, freshly laundered Linen for all the beds are provided. China, kitchen utensils, crockery, cutlery etc are also supplied. The kitchen is well equipped and contains everything that you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. A "Welcome Pack" full of all sorts of grocery goodies is provided with our compliments and you can buy the rest of your requirements from our lively local Grocery Store - or you may prefer to visit the 24 hour Tesco Store situated about five minutes drive away. An excellent Marks and Spencer Foodhall is also very close by.

There is a fabulous very large indoor Swimming Pool (42' x 16' approx) situated off the same Courtyard as the entrance to the Lodges. The Pool is available exclusively and privately to you for set hours each day when you rent the Ling Lodges. You do not share the Pool with anyone else. The Pool area also has its own superb fully tiled Changing Rooms and a separate full wet room both with underfloor heating with shower, washbasin and wc also. This entire Pool complex is a massive 2000 square feet and was completely re-decorated and modernised recently..... There is loads of comfortable seating around the Pool where our guests can sit and read a good Book whilst the others in your group swim - most of our guests cannot resist a swim themselves though. The Pool is ideally suited for both adults and children alike and we all know how unpredictable the British weather can be and having an Indoor Swimming Pool is great for both sunny and rainy weather!

best pool ever
If your looking for a warm indoor pool this is it. 86 degrees Living room was a bit small but huge back yard to play baseball volleyball or badminton. Wifi a bit slow but he was going to have them come out once we left. Easy access and exit to town. Fresh eggs down the rode too. Small water park near by and fishing too.

Wonderful hosts in a fantastic location
David and Jan are fantastic hosts, friendly and accommodating! They made us feel very welcome and generously gave us extra time when we needed it. The location of the house is very peaceful and quiet, with shops and amenities a mere 10 min drive away. The lodge was comfortable and clean and kitchen fully stocked. We enjoyed the pool which is heated and a fabulous size for large parties. We ended our stay with a treat of 2 boxes of delicious organic eggs and wouldn't hesitate to go back again! Thank you very much David and Jan for making our stay so enjoyable :))

A relaxing and quiet getaway
Ling Lodges was fantastic. We needed a quiet place away from the city to relax for a few days and this location was perfect. The property, grounds and pool were clean and very well maintained, and David, our host was very friendly and accommodating. The pool is big enough for light swimming and a very pleasant surprise - clean and well maintained with on site changing and toilet facilities. The local pub is a very pleasant 30 minute walk through the countryside via marked bridal paths and footpaths, (our host was kind enough to give us directions!} and is well worth a visit, for its food and drink and picturesque setting. The local town is only a 10 minute drive so access to supermarkets and takeaways is easy too! We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and would definitely visit again!

About the host

Hosted by David & Jan

Host profile image
We have lived here for over 20 years and as our children have grown up we have had fabulous pool parties here most weekends with friends and family. Now our children are older and have left home we wanted to know that our completely private indoor heated pool was being used and not just remaining unused and so wasted. We set about converting one of our outbuildings into a private 3 bedroomed 3 bathroomed Lodge with access to the swimming pool and now we enjoy the fact that so many families and groups of friends come and stay and use the pool and the grounds of our house. All is lively once again!
We have been advertising and letting the Lodge out for over 10 years now via our own Site but have just recently come onto the VRBO website too so that we can ensure that as many people as possible can find details of our Lodge and Pool.

Why they chose this property

We appear to be quite unique in the Stratford upon Avon area in that we have our huge heated indoor pool complete with comfortable accomodation for ten people in our Lodge next door. Perhaps more importantly we are able to offer it at what Letting Agents consider very affordable prices because it is in the grounds of our House and so fairly easy to run and maintain. We went to three very well known local and national holiday cottage letting companies and they came out to visit the Lodge and each gave us an idea of the rates that they would charge to guests to let our property out for us. We then took the cheapest prices that they all quoted and took 30% off their prices to make it more affordable to those who book directly with us. We then started to do the letting ourselves and thoroughly enjoy it. So do come and enjoy our Lodge and pool safe in the knowledge that you're saving some money too.

What makes this property unique

We are very lucky that our Lodge is so close to Stratford upon Avon and Warwick and yet nestles in a peaceful countryside location just moments from the town centre buzz. Our central UK location becomes a really important factor to many of our guests when they look seriously at the travelling times for larger groups that often meet up here with all guest having travelled from different parts of the Country. We are very lucky to be just a few miles away from all of the major motorway networks which makes the journeys for all to congregate here at the Lodge hassle free.
A haven in avon is how we have been described by many of our guests. The spectacular private heated indoor pool means in any weather there is something to occupy everyone. On a rainy miserable day it is a real god send....on hot days too!

We are aware that sometimes with larger groups an odd extra person might wish to come along and join your group for your stay in the Lodge after you have booked. Whilst we are ideally suited for 10 people we will allow up to a maximum of two extra people to come and stay with you in the Lodge. The extra charge for this is 10% per person of the total amount that you are paying for 10 to stay. So if your amount to pay is 1450 GBP for example then each extra person (up to a maximum of 2 extra people so making a maximum of 12) would be 145 GBP per person. You can advise us of these 1 or 2 extra people at any time from when you make your online booking up until a week before you arrive. You will receive an Invoice for this extra amount and payment will be due before you arrive.
