  • "Hilltop House is the perfect place for a special celebration with friends."

    It well and truly exceeded our expectations, with inside and outside space, plenty for everyone to fizz and be quiet by turns. The pool and hot tub add a whole extra dimension. The kitchen and dining room had everything we needed and more, and there's easily enough fridge space for food and drink for 20. The photos are accurate, but being here is so much more, the house welcomed each and every one of us, and with each room having its own thought-through decor, everyone has their own special space. Strolls round the garden looking at the plants, sharing expertise, particularly useful for one studying with the RHS. The cows and sheep have been a wonderful backdrop for our whole stay. When photographing friends in their room, most wanted the picture with the view in the frame. Leaving, one said 'when we leave somewhere, I usually just want to get home, but I don't want to go, can we stay?' and another, here for 24 hours, said they feel like they've been on holiday. 'I think I might book something like this for my 60th... would you mind if I chose Hilltop House?' The various staircases lend a mystery to the whole experience, never quite sure where you are or where you'll end up. If there's a problem, it's a perfect storm of their being something you want to photograph every few minutes and constantly saying 'now where did I leave my phone?'

    Thank you for such a wonderful review and we are so pleased that you enjoyed staying in the unique space that is Hilltop House. It was wonderful to meet you all and are really pleased that you will consider re-visiting. We would love to see you again here in rural Worcestershire. Property Owner

  • "We have just returned from a 7 day Easter Break at this amazing house."

    There were 8 adults and 6 children (and 1 dog) and we just loved this house. It has a great large kitchen with a table to sit 8, this is where we spent most evenings, playing games and just generally chatting. It has a much larger dining room which sat 16. It had 2 lounges which we allocated as a games/computer room and a quiet lounge. It has a twin room on the ground floor which would be great for someone who would struggle with stairs and a downstairs bathroom with shower. On the second floor there wasa double and twin with a shared bathroom and a double and twin with a bathroom in between - this was great for 2 familes. There was also a king with ensuite which we took as we didnt have children. On the 3rd floor there was another king with ensuite and bathroom which we didnt use and then another staircase with a playroom and twin which again we didnt use. At first glance it looks overwhelming with so much space we in actual fact having so much space was excellent. Outside was a games room with pool table, a hot tub, a patio with BBQ and a huge garden with loads of parking. Michelle was fantastic - she contacted me prior to arrival and popped in after we arrived. There was a lovely homemade victoria sponge as a welcome gift! We unfortuately managed to break an ornament while we were there - not the kids or the dog - while closing one of the blinds and Michelle was really lovely about it and we arranged a replacement for it before we left. There was a guitar in the dining room which we ordered some new strings for while we were there and luckily there were 3 guitar players in our group so were able to play and have a sing song. All in all I would absolutely recommend this home for a large gathering of friends/families.

    We are so pleased that you had such a happy stay at Hilltop House. It was lovely to meet you and your group getting together over long distances. Thank you so much for fixing the guitar strings and for tuning it which leaves it in good shape for future players and sing-a-longers. Your group also left the house in very good order - thank you. We hope to see you again one day! Property Owner

  • "Overall, this is a really lovely property, with large and comfortable bedrooms, great garden, flexible living and dining space."

    A downstairs bedroom is a massive plus for these extra large holiday homes, as they often host multi-generational families and it's not unusual to find one of the party is less abled, as is the case in our group. We went as a large extended family group, with a range of kids aging from 18 months- older teenagers and everything in-between. The little play room upstairs was appreciated, as were all the books and games, plus there was some plastic dinnerware and a high chair. If any families with babies are considering this property, it works well as one of the bedrooms on the first floor is listed as having a 'dressing room'- in reality it's a really large, almost empty room with its own light and internal window, It doesn't have a door, but is round the corner from the double bed, and there was already a cot in there- it's perfect for sticking a baby or toddler in either in a cot or on a blow up bed, as we did! Hot tub was lovely, and the kids somehow enjoyed the freezing cold above ground pool, despite it being the only horrible weather week in August. A few minor considerations or issues, none of which impinged on our holiday: -There needs to be a tumble dryer in a house which sleeps this many people! For a weekend, probably not necessary; but for a week, you're going to be doing washing and it's near impossible to bring everything you'd require without needing to- e.g, I have 5 children, it's unrealistic for me to pack an outfit for each day plus spares-! Not to mention cot bedding (accidents, nappy leaks) and towels- which you're requested to bring for the hot tub, muddy clothes etc.... On a wet weather week as we had, there was constant drippy washing hanging around the Aga and we all had to bring back damp clothes. -The oven glass plate in the door was loose and kept slipping out- this in itself is minor, but when we contacted the owner, they knew it was like this. Imo, you tell guests something like that very clearly, or make sure it's fixed- if it had slid out, boiling, I wouldn't be writing that this was a minor issue, and we might have had a really serious accident. The owners were very prompt in replying though, and the house was very clean and well maintained in general, so I'm sure they will take this on board. The lightbulbs are still old fashioned incandescent bulbs, in bedside lamps. This is so unsafe, and they should be switched to LED bulbs. My 11 year old was fumbling to switch her light off one night, touched it, and burnt her finger quite nastily. Overall a wonderful week and a superb house- I would recommend it highly! For context, as a family, we have been taking an annual week's holiday to a large UK property for the past 33 years. So we have a lot to compare to, and Hilltop definitely stacks up extremely well, top ten! Thank you for a great week.

    It incorporated everything you could possibly want for a congenial and comfortable family holiday.

Michelle and her cleaning staff prepare with great care and attention to detail including vases of fresh flowers and candles in the candelabra to complete the ambience. The kitchen is a dream and the aga a joy to cook with when catering for a large group. We had excellent weather and made full use of the hot tub and the barbecue on the terrace. But if you were unlucky enough to encounter standard English downpours there are plenty of distractions inside the house with a plethora of games and puzzles on offer. The poolroom is well equipped with its own kitchen and fridge, and and a most enjoyable evening was spent engaged in a very competitive, if somewhat unprofessional pool tournament for the Tenbury Wells Badger Trophy - named after the stuffed one displayed in the corner.

  • "Our stay at Hilltop House was everything and more of what we had planned to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary."

    We were met by Michelle, and had been in contact with her prior to our arrival and our calls were always met with patience and nothing seemed too difficult. The house was large enough to accommodate our enormous family, but it still felt cosy, a really beautiful, handsome house. The play room was well used by the smaller ones in our group. Well appointed with an impressive dining area with many features to host such a family occasion. The only points we would like to make are that the dog owners felt that a more secure garden to ensure that the pooches didn't wander might be considered. We struggled with the heating as some of the rooms had variable temperatures! Finally, with so many of us using the hot water system, the power showers in the family bathroom, on the top floor was not cooperating, and apparently they could not call it a "power " shower! All in all everyone of us had an amazing time there, thank you!

    On a stormy Saturday we were warm and cosy. Locall footpaths in lovely scenery were enjoyed by all. The house is well equipped, quirky and cosy. We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend it.

  • "We have just return from our girlie weekend, to celebrate my retirement, at Hilltop."

    The house and ground were outstanding and from very aspect the views were beautiful. The house itself was thoughtfully laid out and very well equipped. The bedrooms were large and the beds extremely comfortable. We made full use of the hot tub and games room. Our only critism of the facilities was that now it's going dark earlier, the walk across the grass, was hazardous. One of our girls fell over, didn't see the step. Perhaps a gravel path and/or solar lights to guide the way. However this didn't detract from our enjoyment. Can't recommend this house enough. Thank you

    Many thanks for your feedback and for since advising that your friend was carrying things in the dark and she didn't see the change in surfaces, so she walked off the path by accident. We are glad to hear that she bounced back up and the evening carried on without further events and it didn't detract from your enjoyment of this wonderful house. In your review you said that you failed to mention the lovely welcome pack, provided by the owner Michelle. It was delicious. Property Owner

  • "What a brilliant venue for a long-awaited family holiday!"

    The generously proportioned house swallowed up our family of 20 very comfortably. All the bedrooms were nicely presented, the general living spaces were generous and the kitchen was very well equipped for the number of people. Outside the hot tub and the swimming pool were immediate hits with everybody as were the very large well-kept garden and lawn, where we were able to play numerous games. The owners were very helpful and adapted to any requests that we made. They also left us a basket full of local produce which we very much enjoyed. In the evening, after eating around a very lovely dining table many of the party would go to the pool room, which was great fun. The surrounding area is very picturesque and provided some pretty and occasionally challenging walks. Tenbury Wells is an attractive market town and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thank you from ALL our family

    Amazing views too. The children really enjoyed the facilities, including the hot tub and the swimming pool. The garden is huge and full of flowers (the photos do not do it justice) and we had good games of football and rounders there. The owners were helpful and responsive too.
