"Comfortable accommodation; well equipped; well maintained."
Good location for walks and visits to towns within 10 miles
-
"Fantastic house - very spacious for 3 families with small children."
Loved the playground and being able to see the cows too. Very helpful hosts. Thank you!
-
"For the price, we thought some basics like oil, butter, milk eggs bread maybe small shampoo and conditioner could be provided."
However we may have packed salt and pepper by accident. No matches available and we ran out of kitchen roll. Carpet sweeper would have been useful. The play area was safe and just right for us and the working farm provided all we needed for a long weekend. {Walks, tractor watching, animal observation, question and answer, lovely weather for the time of year!}
-
"Lovely house, the spaciousness of the communal area and the number of bathrooms/toilets available makes staying with a large group easy and comfortable."
The hot tub was a favourite, very well kept and a really good size. The garden is lovely. Would recommend for sure.
-
"We loved staying at this property."
It's spacious, quiet and well equipped. The farm dogs are very friendly and well trained, and provide great company.
-
"Very comfortable stay."
Well equipped accommodation. Great place to celebrate my husband’s 60th with our children and grandchildren. Hot tub was great addition. Was expecting some toys as in description but understand these were removed due to Covid restrictions. Would recommend property to others
-
"We had a lovely stay at The Wainhouse celebrating a birthday."
The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The youngest member of our family loved the playground and the dogs were an added bonus to his fun. We would definitely like to make a return visit.
-
"We had a great stay at The Wain house for our annual friends get together."
The house was spotless and the beds really comfy. The hot tub was great, loved seeing the stars at night and felt really private. Took a trip to the fountain inn on Saturday for lunch and the food was really nice, big portions and prices reasonable. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

"Wonderful weekend away to celebrate a birthday with all the family."
There were 7 adults and 1 Labrador. We slept downstairs, which made letting Bella out in the morning easy. There was a grassy area right outside the door. There was plenty of room and it was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked every night. Big table to play board games and lots of space in the sitting room area for charades, etc. Hot water and heating were plentiful. Check-in and out was easy. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Nothing negative at all.
-
"Very nice property."
Clean, tidy, kitchen well equipped. Lovely setting.
-
"We had a really fantastic time at The Wainhouse, the house is perfect for large gatherings, plenty of room, everywhere was clean and well equipped."
The hot tub was spotless and enjoyed by the younger members of our group. We took a beautiful walk along the footpaths across fields and along the lanes. Thanks very much to Jane and Colin for letting the younger children have a look at the farm animals and generally allowing them to get a idea if what a working farm is like!
-
"We had a lovely stay, the house was clean and had everything we needed for the weekend."
-

"We had a lovely holiday."
The cottage was comfy and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the hot tub! Thank you.
-
"We were a large group of seven and had a wonderful weekend at the Wainhouse, which was spacious, clean and everything as described."
The hot tub was a real bonus and the kitchen had everything we needed. The cooker did seem a little slow, but that didn’t really affect anything, just plan ahead! We enjoyed being visited by the farm dogs, which were friendly and unobtrusive, and the setting is in the most beautiful countryside. Communication with the owner was excellent and we had a great visit.
-
"A very comfortable, well equipped and spacious house with plenty of hot water."
A good location for walking and sightseeing.
-
"We had an amazing stay, the house is beautiful as are the grounds."
The space really help us all to spend time together and enjoy eating in a group, chatting and sharing a glass of wine ( or two ) The girls enjoyed the hot tub and we all fell in love with the dogs they were just super cute and very friendly.
-
"We had a fabulous break at the Wainhouse."
The cottage was perfect for a large family gathering. It was well equipped, spacious and very clean. We enjoyed the garden area and the outdoor dining area and of course we loved the hot tub. Tenbury Wells was a really interesting place to look around with lovely Spanish restaurant and great pubs. Lots of lovely countryside and interesting NT properties to explore. Good for cycling too as some lovely country lanes. We would love to return. Many thanks.
-
"Amazing properly, perfect size for our big family."
Owners very helpful and the dogs were lovely. Thank you for having us! Hot tub was a welcomed extra!
-
"We had a wonderful week reconnecting as a family - the ground floor open plan space was perfect for this."
The host was discreet yet helpful and friendly when needed - even returning items I left behind. The free-roaming farm dogs were very well behaved and the children loved having them there. For our needs of 10 people with different meal requirements the single oven was perhaps limiting but we coped so not a big issue. As always the hot tub was a success and the host kept this clean. Thank you x

"It was an amazing place, very spacious, clean, nice area."
The only thing what was little bit concerning is playground area, doesn't look too safe for the kids, requires upgrading. However, overall, everything was lovely and we enjoyed our stay a lot!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, thank you for the 100% score!! We have just purchased a new safety net for the trampoline, and resurfaced the play area with wood bark, it looks much better now. perhaps we will see you again in the future. Property Owner

"Excellent property, plenty of room for guests."
Outdoor space particularly , enhanced the stay for all. Friendly host beautiful setting would highly recommend to others. A few simple basics, such as salt pepper and oil would be very useful
-
"Great property for a group, was super clean and tidy when we arrived."
Facilities in general were great, hot tub always at temperature and secluded. Only thing we struggled with was the oven- it heated up but was taking 45 minutes to cook pizzas that should've taken 10 minutes. Outside plug was perfect for electric cars. Overall a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us, and that everything was to your satisfaction. I have checked the oven since your comment, and I must admit the number of programmes can be a little confusing, however have tried it myself, and checked with the following guests and it seems to be working OK now, and I apologise for the glitch while you were here.

"Shower in wetroom could probably do with up-grading (quite poor pressure of water) but that's my only slight "moan"."
Other than that we had a lovely time in a very well maintained, spacious property. Thank you to the owners.
-
"Had an excellent holiday."
Everything was just as described. Very comfortable for ten adults. Would definitely stay again.
-
"Had a fantastic stay."
Beautiful house, room for all the children to run around with space for the adults to relax. It is a fully working farm, not sure that was fully understood before we went but it was fantastic. We were allowed to go in to see the lambs and cattle. There was a small play area which was perfect for our children who were all 6 and under, including a trampoline.
-
"Hi we had a wonderful time."
The house was lovely. Even better than the pictures. The hot tub was the best one I have been in. We loved seeing the lambs. Only seen the owner when we arrived. Who was very nice and helpful. Fab time with my family
-
"Great size with the 5 bedrooms."
Bonus that one was accessible. However, the furniture in this room needed a little more thought. I’d suggest swapping the dressing table from the upstairs room with the chest of drawers to allow a wheelchair user to sit closer and have a mirror they can see into rather than the current mirror which is positioned on the wall at about five and a half feet up! The hot tub was lovely but no view to sit and look at. You need to be aware how being a “working farm” impacts your stay. Farm vehicles starting to pass close by, from around 7am. The dogs are lovely and friendly but roam around the farm and we were woken a few mornings at 6am by them barking. Nit-picking I know, and can’t fault the cleanliness and the house itself, but as long as you are aware and happy with the early mornings, you’ll love this holiday.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We are grateful for your comments about cleanliness as we pride ourselves on making sure the cottage is spotless for every customer. We don't advertise the property as wheelchair friendly however if we have any queries before booking about accessibility and property layout, we are happy to help. The hot tub is a huge feature of the property and is loved by all customers. We advertise this as private and therefore situate it in an area where you can relax and enjoy the hot tub. The property does boast rural views but not in that private area. The Sykes description says that the property is on a working farm so customers are aware before they make a booking. We don't use farm vehicles at 7.00am so this could have been a nearby farmer. We have resolved the issue with the dog barking and understand the reason why this happened. Thank you for your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Property Owner

"House was lovely and clean - however beds were not terribly comfy."
Owner was lovely - however, would nip round to check hot tub on a daily basis (for an 3 night stay we personally did not think that was necessary) also the farm dogs would come into the garden all day. Which was ok for us as all the children have dogs but if you you are someone that is not keen to be around dogs - it would definitely impact your stay. Also the only outside area that is private is where the hot tub is. However, people that are staying at other properties walk through the garden - that from the pictures looks like it would belong to the wainhouse. Also swings and trampolines are across the farm driveway where tractors are coming in and out of multiple times a day. Overall we had a nice stay however these minor issues were a slight pain.
Good Morning, I am pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay with us , and I am sorry to see that you had a few issues during your stay. I do have to check the hot tub chemical levels daily, to ensure that all is ok for our guests, particularly as I had guests arriving on the day after you left, I try to be as unobtrusive as possible, and apologise if I disturbed you. Our dogs do visit the Wainhouse, when not working, and more often than not guests enjoy their company, and even take them for walks! I always tell guests to let me know if they are a nuisance, as I will shut them in. The Play area is just across the farm access, but this is the first time it has been commented on, it is a working farm, tractors do use the roadway, but not continuously. The access to The Hop Kiln is along a pathway, beyond the garden to The Wainhouse, they do not actually walk through the garden itself. I hope that the guests staying there were not a problem. I hope that these minor issues do not prevent you from visiting us again and I look forward to welcoming you in the future. Property Owner

"This was an excellent property!"
Amazing stay!

"Jane and Collin, we’re amazing hosts."
The cottage was absolutely magnificent, 10 bedrooms a large dining area and kitchen area, views were incredible and a hot tub which was the icing on the cake for our stay. This cottage was not too far for us, but it was the weekend well needed for us. But if this cottage was a lot further I would not hesitate to book. I would love to return to this cottage.
-
"Fabulous cottage."
Very well equipped with everything required for a weekend stay. Comfortable beds. Very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. Will definitely book again.
-
"Amazing place to stay."
Really well equipped. Brilliant size for 10 people. Hot tub was a real bonus. The morning greeting from the dogs was sweet, especially the dog that went for a 3 mile run with the boys made us laugh
-
"Had a great birthday and Xmas."
really well equipped with everything you need. Jane was very helpful and friendly. Great Walks . Tenby Wells only 10 minutes drive away.everyone enjoyed hot tub.
-
"Had a great weekend at the Wainhouse, Jane was a friendly and helpful host."
The hot tub was fabulous, the house was very well equipped, comfortable and warm. We are returning next year to stay in Wood cottage another property on the farm.
-
"Spacious property."
Rooms light and airy. Everything you’d need regarding kitchen equipment. Plentiful hot water. Unfortunately beds were not very supportive for elder guests. Garden wasn’t really enclosed as owners dog could easily get into the garden and leave their ‘deposits’. On arrival we were asked if we had a crate for our dog (we did luckily, but not mentioned in the listing) something to mention for any pet owners looking to rent.
-
"Nice spacious property with hot tub in great location for visiting Worcestershire and Herefordshire but cottage lacked a few simple things e."
G. only 5 dishwasher tablets for a group of 7 for a week, no local leaflets, books, magazines, info or children's games. This was said to be due to Covid but we have been in other properties that have returned them. Also trampoline only bouncy in very centre.
Thank you for your feedback. Its very important to us. We want all our Customers to have a great holiday. If there are any problems, we are available to help during your stay. There is usually a supply of dishwasher tablets to last for the duration of a stay so I am sorry this wasn't the case for you. Sykes gave us some guidance around covid and advised to remove any books, games etc to prevent the spread of the virus. We have decided not to return these but hope this didn't spoil your stay. Once again, thanks for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back again Property Owner

"We had the most wonderful and special stay at The Wainhouse to celebrate our parents' joint 60th birthdays."
The property is beautiful and the open plan downstairs was perfect for our family to let all the grandchildren run/crawl around in. We were there during a heatwave and luckily took our own fans, as like with every building in the UK, it does get very warm in there in! Thank you for a brilliant weekend!
-
"On the second day of our holiday the hot water stopped working."
We informed the owner on day 3 who called a plumber but unable to fix it. The owner provided us with heaters but hot water is an essential. This has tarnished what was a lovely property that had suited our needs, particularly with the downstairs bedroom and walk-in shower.
-
"Jane was very welcoming and helpful when needed."
The kitchen was very well stocked and easy to use. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was good to have a wardrobe with plenty of hangers. It would be a good idea to have a non-slip surface in the downstairs bedroom's shower as our elderly friend found the floor very slippery when wet and thus dangerous - she managed by holding on to the plastic chair - which suggests this may be an on-going problem . .. I gave her the little mat from the upstairs bath - but then I found the bath very slippery and had to be very careful when getting out of it after a shower. The photo of the front garden was misleading - it is smaller than it looked. It was a lovely quiet place for a holiday and 3 of us enjoyed the walk up the hill to the viewing point - such beautiful views.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the wet room floor and we do the comments on board, and will look into what steps we can take to remedy the issue; however I want you to point out that the plastic chair was in the wet room at the request of a previous guest so that they could sit whilst showering, not as a support because of the floor. As far as the lawn not appearing as large as it seems on the photographs, apologies for that but Sykes are responsible for the photography, and I will be in touch with them to look at the photo in question Property Owner

"Excellent property which was exactly as described on the website."
The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Location ideal and would recommend visiting Ludlow castle for those staying. Plenty of pubs within a 5min drive, recommend The Fountain for afternoon lunch. We would have no hesitation in staying at the Wainhouse Cottage in the future.
-
"This is a lovely property."
Was ideal for our family of 9 for a long weekend. The children loved seeing the farm animals
-
"We had a great time and had some lovely walks escorted by Pip who made sure we didn’t get lost."
-
"We had a brilliant Bank Holiday weekend stay at The Wainhouse."
We were a family of 10 with 4 generations from age 2 - 86 and we all loved it. The house is amazing, very spacious, modern and clean, with plenty of seating and bathrooms. I'd never been in a hot tub before but loved it, everyone enjoyed the farm and local walks. Thank you to the hosts, who were great + lovely food at The Fountain
-
"We loved our stay at the Wainhouse which we found clean and comfortable and spacious for 7 people."
It would have been good to have had some laundry liquid or tablets and more than x3 dishwasher tablets for a Mon-Fri stay. The hot tub was fabulous and seated all 7 of us comfortably. All in all an excellent house.
-
"Fabulous weekend, beautiful, rural, farm and surroundings, the well equipped house suited our family very well."
The children loved the trampoline and playground equipment. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the gorgeous rural walks. The farm dogs and other animals provided extra special memories which will remain with us and helped to make it a very special time.
-
"We had a wonderful time and the owners welcomed us to the farm and we really enjoyed watching the lambing, this was a real highlight for us."
We did think that the house was in need of a little updating as it lots of things felt very squeeky and loose (some toilets, floorboards and beds etc) as well as some shower areas having some mould. However the house was clean and the hot tub spotless - again one of our highlights. Given the distance from other places probably not somewhere we would return to - but if we were going in April again maybe so - just for the lambing!!
Thank you so much for staying at The Wainhouse, it was a pleasure to have your group with us. We thank you for your feedback on your stay, we're glad to hear that you was happy with the cleanliness of our house as we take great pride in hosting a memorable experience for our guests. We don't feel the property needs updating and this is the first comment we have received, but we appreciate everyone has their own opinions. Should there have been any issues during your stay, our contact details are provided and we are at hand to help. Should you be traveling again in April we would love to have you back. Property Owner

"Wonderful home with everything you could need to have a relaxing and idyllic stay."
Beautiful dogs, lambs and cows on site!
-
"Really lovely cottage, everyone had such a great time and we made use of the fabulous hot tub."
Wi-Fi very slow and no signal but not a bad thing, meant we spent even more quality time together. Would recommend for a large group. Lovely to visit Tenbury Wells, Ludlow & Worcester.
-
"A really lovely place to relax and enjoy time with the family."
We enjoyed the hot tub after days out and walks in the countryside straight from the barn. The barn itself was well equipped and very comfortable for a large group, and lovely to see the animals on the farm and resident dogs. A truly great place to escape to!
-
"Great property for family gatherings, plenty of space for everyone"
-
"We had a lovely break at the Wainhouse for New Years."
The hosts were brilliant and it was such a lovely rural location. The space is perfect for a large group. Wifi wasn’t great but made us talk to each other instead! Great large hot tub! We had a few visits from the sneaky ginger cat haha! We would definitely recommend this cottage!
-
"Lovely property, with great surroundings and a very comfortable and well stocked property for a large group."
It was, however, a challenge to cook a Christmas dinner for nine people with a single oven. However we would return aa we had a lovely relaxing holiday. Pip the dog was a brilliant tour guide for our daily walks and we are sorry for making him late for work haha. Thank you for your hospitality.
-
"Beautiful clean & spacious property in a glorious countryside location."
It's a perfect getaway for 10 people.
-
"Super accommodation for the whole family."
Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Having a dining table to seat ten was great. Plenty of space, comfortable and also a lovely garden area. The children’s play area was a great bonus and there was a lovely walk up to the woods. The flowers, biscuits and wine were a nice extra.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was great to see some of what goes on at the farm, children loved seeing the tractors. Owners very friendly and helpful, a really super place that enabled us to get together and have some quality time together.
-
"Lovely place for a big group."
House was great to relax in when we weren't out in the local area. Everyone had a great time and no complaints, but watch out for the cat because it can be quite sneaky.
-
"Could do to have curtains in the lounge, to be a little more private and cosy in the dark evenings and better WIFI"
-
"Great farmhouse, shame about the wi fi, couldn’t connect if more than 1 person used it."
Broadband needs upgrading.
-
"We had a wonderful holiday at the Wainhouse."
The location was beautiful, the hot tub was excellent and the little children loved the playground. It was also lovely to see the animals on the farm.
-
"For the price we paid we expected far superior furnishings, linen, towels and equipment."
We stay away in holiday lets 5 - 6 times a year and have paid half the price for far superior furnishings/fittings. The location was as expected but we expected a nice view, not a fence. The owners were extremely pleasant and helpful but in the whole we thought it very poor value
Thank you for your feedback following your stay at The Wainhouse. We do all we can to help Customers to have a great holiday I am sorry to hear some of the comments as this is not the usual standard of feedback that we receive The price is reflective of the full occupancy of 10 people and is a valid price for the property, its amenities and location If there was anything else we could have done at the time, we are always on hand to help our Customers Once again, thanks for your comments Property Owner

"It’s a lovely place to stay on a working farm, the owners are lovely cannot do enough to make your stay comfortable."
It’s too far to walk to the nearest pub which was fine for us, plenty to see and do in the local area. Loved the area and the place we are a family of 8, so the house was more than adequate fir us all. The hot tub was a lovely added bonus. We will definitely go back.
