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.

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!

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.

We rented The Hunting Lodge to gather my family to celebrate a special birthday. With guests ranging from my 91 year old Mum to my 2 year old grandson, it was a challenge to find somewhere that provided facilities to cater for all, but in general The Hunting Lodge fitted the bill. The beds were very comfortable made up with quality linen, plenty of big and thick towels, each bedroom was comfortable and personal and made up to the bed configuration that we’d requested. The furniture was of a high standard and comfortable, and the table football gave hours of entertainment! Outside, the garden was a real asset - safe for the dogs and grandchildren - they all loved the playhouse! The hot tub was surprisingly efficient, spotlessly clean, and once warm, kept its heat extremely well. Downsides - I’d chosen this property as I wanted a downstairs en-suite room for my elderly but fit and independent Mum. It wasn’t entirely clear in the description nor on the floor plan that stairs up to the games room from the entrance hall are narrow treaded and steep. Fortunately Mum managed these with support the first couple of times and then got used to them, but just be aware it’s not truly a downstairs room. There are two lounges - one is a walk-through, but the only indoor room that was big enough for our entire group to sit together was the dining room. Fortunately we were blessed with mostly good weather & we spent a lot of time outside on the patio. It was a shame there were no outdoor lounging chairs provided, as this would have made the outdoor space even more of an asset. The house is next door to what appears to be a closed courtyard commercial area. Nothing was active or open so the house remained totally private, but it was all a bit weird, especially as Mum’s room and the boot room overlooked this and an outside door opened on to it. Finally, the fridge freezer in the kitchen was not working properly during our stay. This was an inconvenience as we had to store all food in the much smaller fridge freezer in the games room kitchen - which is quite a trek when preparing a meal! I reported this on the first morning of our stay, but received no reply until the day after we had left. Overall a comfortable house for a weekend stay, charmingly quirky, but needs a little tlc.
