The Wainhouse Reviews

Jasmine

Wonderful stay at The Wainhouse it was spacious, quiet, and equipped with everything we needed for a selfcatering holiday. The jacuzzi was fantastic! The farm is also home to several friendly dogs, and we enjoyed being briefly adopted by them! Pip was especially welcoming and we enjoyed his company on our strolls through the farm. The area is full of great places to visit we especially liked Ludlow and Berrington Hall. If you go walking, Clent Hill is an amazing place to visit!

The accommodation was perfect for us. Very spacious and well equipped. Great hot tub. Jayne, the host, was lovely and extremely helpful too. A great area and quiet location. Very highly recommended

The bedrooms and space were fine but the kitchen and limited equipment was not enough for the 8 of us let alone the 10 it is listed for. The main surfaces were clean but there were cobwebs in bathrooms and ceilings and the cooker hood was filthy. Everything was the bare minimum, cleaning, towels, equipment, yet the dos and donts were enormous. This felt more about making money than the customer experience. It is a shame as it had so much potential.

The Wainhouse is perfectly located on a working farm. The accommodation was perfect for our musical escape, lots of space for all our instruments etc. We had not visited this part of the country before so did lots of exploring. Local villages, water gardens and cheese factory. Jane the owner was very welcoming and popped in from time to time to make sure all was good.

Angela

Lovely well equipped property. The owner was attentive to our requests such as for a hairdryer, the use of bbq and to check hot tub function. Lovely spacious property for a family get together. Working farm was delightful and the dogs gorgeous. Hopefully the hot tub is up and running again... unfortunately we only got 2 out of 7 days use due to a leak. Lots of fun had in the 2 days though!

The property was perfect for our needs 5 adults, 4 children, 1 dog. It was spacious, clean and ideally situated for a quiet peaceful countryside break. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, made friends with the farmers dogs and made full use of the hot tub. The welcome pack was most appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Friederike

We stayed at the Wainhouse for a week as an extended family with 3 little ones. The house was perfect for us, with enough bedrooms and space to keep everyone happy. The kitchen contained everything one could need, and the bathrooms were great. The kids loved the little playground and seeing all the animals on the farm every day they still talk about the little lambs now. We made some short drives for day trips in the surrounding areas plenty to explore for nature lovers, castle enthusiasts, pub goers etc. thanks for having us, we hope the remainder of lambing season has gone well.

This was a long family weekend to celebrate a special birthday with 3 generations and we all enjoyed our stay. The big question 'would we stay again'? everybody answered YES. We had an amazing time, the Wain House was very well equipped, the hot tub was fantastic. Beautiful countryside, with the added bonus of being near a lovely little town Tenbury Wells.

Elaine

The owner welcomed us after we had settled in and asked if everything was OK or if we needed anything. The accommodation was perfect for us as a large family group of 10. We were 6 adults and 4 children. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Hot tub was a delight, we all loved it. The children loved walking around the farm, under our supervision! The owner had a chat to them about the animals they kept and was very warm and welcoming. Thank you for your hospitality.

Fabulous property, lovely location very spacious and well set out. Kitchen was well stocked with crockery, pans and appliances. Beds were very comfortable. We took a projector as there were 10 of us, and used laptop and firestick to do quizzes and watch sport and films and the wifi was spot on. Hot tub was a lovely addition. Colin and Jane were perfect and hosts, we had some lo good conversations about the farm and local area. The dogs came to visit and were friendly with our dog. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

Perfect property for 10 people . Everything we needed was provided and the hot tub was a great attraction ! Owner was very welcoming and we will try to re visit .

We had a super chilled weekend in very pleasant surroundings. The property owner was on hand to answer any of our questions. The accommodation itself was very comfortable. I would highly recommend for a large group who wish to have a chilled stay .

Barbara

Extremely well furnished property with plenty of equipment in the kitchen to cook meals from scratch if desired. Owners were very helpful and love the personal introduction on our arrival. Very peaceful setting but only 10 minute drive if you wanted human contact in the town. Children were fascinated with the farm machinery and what they were doing on the farm.

Deborah

A lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful location. We thoroughly enjoyed the use of the hot tub. We found the downstairs bedroom very useful for our parents with limited mobility. We hope to come back soon

Lovely big house perfect for our needs as there were 5 of us. I think the only thing I would have preferred would be a cosier seating area. Maybe cushions? We are all quite small in height and the leather sofa was tricky for us as our legs were too short! So we used the other one!

Stephen

The Wainhouse was lovely and clean with all facilities. We had a lovely family holiday. The grandchildren loved the hot tub and the friendly dogs. It was lovely to hear the dawn chorus and the owl at night. I would highly recommend The Wainhouse for a relaxing break.

Catherine

We had a great stay at The Wainhouse! Would totally recommend anyone to stay here. Some of us are looking at booking to come back. Perfect stay in the quiet country side, loved the working farm next door and really enjoyed the visits from the farm dogs.

A perfect place for our family gathering, we had a fab time, the house is very well laid out with a large loungedining kitchen area ideal for us all to be together. Colin, Jane and Dan, the farm owners, were so welcoming, we all had a special time getting involved with the lambing, one of our party even helped to deliver one !! The children had the best time, and the weather was excellent as a bonus.

Lesley

The house was very spacious and comfortable for our group which was 7 middle aged friends. The hot tub was amazing. We did have one dog who got quite a loud intimidating welcome from the farm dogs who are obviously roaming around the farm, but eventually they made friends. It would be handy if a welcoming pint of milk could be left as we arrived for 3 pm and our food delivery not till 5pm but it's nothing major to complain about as we had prosecco!! But thankyou for a lovely stay and providing such good weather. Oh yes. Sat nav worked perfectly and got us straight there.!

Joanne

We had a lovely time. Thank you

Esther

Such a lovely place. ....spacious, clean and great for a family holiday. Really enjoyed the hot tub..... going from 1 to 39 was quite an experience! Farm dogs really friendly. Nearby Ludlow is a beautiful town.... castle & quaint buildings. 7 minutes drive is the Fountain Inn..... lovely big portions and nice environment also does 2 course lunch specials for 12.95

Lovely house. Owner friendly and helpful.

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!

Elizabeth

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!

Charlotte

Lovely house, the spaciousness of the communal area and the number of bathroomstoilets 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.

Alison

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 husbands 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

Stephen

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. Checkin and out was easy. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Nothing negative at all.

Alicia

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 an amazing, comfortable relaxing few days here would highly recommend too large groups. Also suitable for disabled, just all in all a lovely place .

Beverley

The converted barn was amazing. Very clean spacious and well equipped. The hot tub was an added bonus. We will definitely do a return visit. Thank you Jane for making us so welcome too. Sangria Sisters Beverley

Rachel

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 didnt 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.

Deborah

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.
