What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  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.

  When we arrived at Willow Lodge with our two children, we were absolutely delighted to find exactly what was shown on the website.

  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.

  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.

  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.
