• "Had a great two weeks at willow lodge ."

  Modern, well equipped and comfortable cottage in a lovely area. Alison the owner went above and beyond to help my wife with a health problem which we were very grateful for. You’d be hard pushed to find somewhere as good in this area. 5 ⭐️

  Main bed could be a bit bigger as is only a double and i think the outside furniture could be improved. These are only little things but overall excellent

• "Lovely clean, comfortable and peaceful lodge."

  Lodge had everything you needed with all mod cons and a great walk in shower. Perfect for anyone with mobility issues. Lovely surrounding area 1 mile up the access only road from Cleeve Prior, so no traffic noise. A paved area for sitting out, and a lovely big grass area, all completely fenced in so perfect if you have a dog with you. Great base for touring the Cotswolds. I Would highly recommend this lodge.

• "Our family had a relaxing break at Willow Lodge, we wanted something quiet and dog friendly and the lodge ticked all the boxes."

  It was well equipped and restful. The shower was amazing! The directions to the property need expanding as the ‘what three words’ description is incorrect. As we had read some of the previous feedback I knew to head on down the lane before finding the property. While it was cosy eventually I found it to be quite cold initially, hard floors (know the practicalities of this) and the heat not reaching all the property, I missed my slippers and could’ve benefitted from a blanket but there were no extra layers available in the property. We visited everything we had planned and found it to be an excellent base to do so, recommended if travelling with pets.

  Very comfortable with everything needed. Like a home from home. We had a lovely Christmas Tree and decorations and a really thoughtful Christmas Hamper. We had a wonderful time and so did our 2 dogs.

• "Overall a nice place to stay but due to the lanes being very wet, it was unavoidable to get the car and the dogs muddy and dirty."

  I know there is nothing you can do with the great British weather but it did mar our break. The accommodation was nice and warm but the double bedroom had a very lightweight duvet which was not adequate for the cold weather. A TV in the master bedroom would be of benefit. A nice location to end bye you to visit any other places of interest.

  There is no provision to dry wet coats human or dogs, perhaps some thought on that. But it is a beautiful location, comfortable, and has evertything you need, and I would recommend the property to anyone, and in fact have already done so.

  Thank you for your feedback , we have that light on the corner of the property to allow guests to see the path clearly when it’s dark ! Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at Willow Cottage."

  Small ant problem in bathroom but probably due to time of year. For some reason the beds make you snore, all the beds - we tried all of them due to the sheer volume of each other's snoring, although I'm sure I never usually so this! Great garden for our 2 dogs to run around in. FYI - Toilet rolls, hand wash, washing up liquid, sponges and sachets of coffee, sugar etc. were available. Tassimo pod machine there too (didn't know this so didn't bring my pods).. but there to use. Knives not very sharp but adequate. Everything else you need for cooking is available. Highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for an out of the way location with enclosed garden for your pets.

  The lodge is gorgeous and modern and was fab for our family with small children. Towels and all cleaning products were provided which was great! Also, there was a selection of board games and a big lawn for the kids to play out on! The only things that we didn’t realise were that really you have to drive everywhere. We couldn’t find a local shop/ anywhere to eat in walking distance with 3 young children. The nearest pub is a very long walk down the lane, and also doesn’t open on Mondays and Tuesdays which was half of our stay! But overall, it was so nice and would definitely return! Thankyou so much!

  Willow Lodge was extremely clean and well presented it was like being in your own home.There was everything you needed for your stay.The homemade biscuits and wine was a lovely touch. Lovely large modern bathroom. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. The large grassed fenced in area to the front of the property was great as we were able to allow our dog to go outside without worrying about her. I would say that if you have an elderly dog like ours she did struggle with the flooring so I would recommend taking a couple of runners with you. A really lovely place to stay in.

• "We had a fantastic 4 nights at Willow Lodge and would definitely return."

  This is a quiet location and a perfect place to visit surrounding areas like Evesham and Stratford-upon-Avon that were no more than 15-20 minutes drive.The accommodation was extremely clean, tastefully done & had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The owners leave you to your own devices but are on hand for any questions or help you need which was ideal. A lovely place to unwind. This was booked very last minute ( car packed and nowhere to go ) but the owners went out there way to clean and prepare the lodge while we were travelling which was very much appreciated. Just one tip, we found Google Maps better than the SatNav for finding Hoden Lane as it was dark and the SatNav tried to send us past the turning. When you do turn into Hoden Lane, keep driving as you may feel you have missed it as it is a long narrow lane to a dead end. Accommodation perfect for our CockerPoo too as she was able to explore the enclosed vast garden area safely. Willow Lodge highly recommended.

• "It was terrific."

  Only small let down was the quality of the mattresses and the size of the bed in the master bedroom. It was our first holiday without children in more than 21 years and we ended up sleeping in separate beds because the master bed was too small and the sprung mattress too uncomfortable. But everything else was terrific!

• "We found the property as advertised."

  The kitchen is well equipped, the master bedroom is rather spacious and the bathroom is nice. We liked the location: It’s a bit outside the village and we could do lots of things in the area, especially the Cotswolds. But there were also three negative things: First of all, the lodge can also be rented by pet owners, which is something that you could smell. There were scent diffusers in almost every room, but it didn’t help. Also there were smears on the two glass tables and all mirrors where you could see that somebody had cleaned them but hadn’t gone to the trouble of cleaning them in a way that they were _really_ clean. There was also quite a bit of dust and crumbs under the couch (I didn’t lie down to have a look, but you could see it when you sat on the couch) - all in all nothing too bad, but also not „spotlessly clean“. Moreover, there was some kind of construction work going on in the room that wasn’t part of our lodge but that was adjacent to the bedroom which meant that every morning during the week there were loud voices, drilling and hammering from 8 o’clock which is quite a bit earlier than I‘d like to be woken up during my holidays and which is something that I would have been happy to know about before my booking.

  The photos and description are very accurate. The finish of this property is of a very high standard and was so clean and fresh. The owners left us provisions above and beyond, the essentials and also wine/homemade biscuits, washing up liquid, hand soap, dishwasher tablets, tea/coffee/sugar etc. All the things you have to usually buy and take half packets home. The location is beautiful, and grounds are pristine. The photos in this advert actually show the garden for the other property which is attached, but they are almost identical. Perfect central location to visit all the pretty villages, and surrounding areas. We were delighted and will definitely be re-booking in the future. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Our neighbours were lovely too and even though they had a dog, we rarely heard any noise, which I was initially concerned about. I would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Cotswolds.
