The Wainhouse Reviews

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 .

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.
Philippa
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.
Kimberley
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!
Jacquie
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 freeroaming 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!
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.
