Hilltop House Reviews

Excellent venue for a family get together . Good sized reception rooms and large dining table to accommodate 20. Pool table and hot tub also good.

Family friendly house. Not too pristine so more relaxing with kidsdogs. Loads of room and very comfortable. Generally good cooking facilities and plenty of crockery etc. lovely views. Very friendly staffowners quickly dealt with minor problem. Would happily come back.

We had a brilliant time with our family and friends and it was lovely to meet you both. We loved the house and its genuine feel . It is well stocked with everything you could wish for including toys for the children in a super playroom which our 3 year olds loved. The garden is beautifully maintained in spite of a visit from some neighbouring cows! You responded promptly to the few issues we reported ie the dodgy shower and the broken chair. Many thanks.

The property is amazing. Everything we wanted and more. There was 14 of us and our two labradors. Everyone had an amazing time especially our labradors. Would 199 recommend

Stephen

The house and gardens were fantastic and a perfect setting for my birthday celebrations with family and friends. We received a warm welcome including our dogs. There was plenty of room for the 14 of us and the facilities were excellent including very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend this property

All 19 of us had a lovely weeks holiday at Hilltop. A real family home. Hot tub was great and swimming lengths could actually be done in the pool. Gardens large and safe for children. Football, rounders and many other games played by adults and children. Kitchen very, very well stocked. Beds brilliant very comfortable. As city people the quiet of the surrounding countryside and looking at the night sky, so dark with the stars glistening all around was a delight. A big thank you to Michelle for use of the house and the fab welcome basket.

We had a warm welcome from Michelle & Roger. A perfect property for our family holiday. A large garden for all the family to play games. The children were in the pool every day whatever the weather. Adults enjoyed the hot tub. It was useful having a television lounge and a quiet lounge with comfortable sofas. The kitchen is well equipped. All the beds were comfortable. We had a problem with the hot water which was dealt with immediately. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Hilltop House. The children did not want to leave.

A house with WOW factor. Really enjoyed our stay here, albeit in rather wet and windy conditions but the house did not let us down. Had everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to games and entertainment. Looking foward to another visit soon. Thank you to Michelle and family for being so helpful and a big hug to Archie.

Francine

We had a very pleasant and friendly welcome. The house was very spacious and well equipped. Even though the weather was sunny, it was still a little heroic to use the swimming pool in May, But the hot tub proved very popular. The grounds of the house were vast and allowed children and teenagers to have plenty of fun. As we had 3 children under five maybe a little play area with a little climbing frame or slide would have been welcome. We all had a very good time.

Lindsay

We were a family group ranging from 2 years old to 80 years old! We all had a great time and had loads of space. Hilltop is a lovely house, still dont know my way around it! Games room was a great addition and the hot tub was used by the adults. We would love to go back in the Summer to mkae use of the amazing grounds. Michelle was really helpful and couldnt do enough for us. Thank you so much.

Hilltop house is a lovely place to stay, the house is so homely, even though all the rooms are huge. Part of its charm is that it feel lived in, the beautiful antique furniture and some of the soft furnishings have obviously been there for many years, but this adds to the relaxed comfy feel. The garden and outside space is brilliant and the views beautiful. Would definitely go back there.

Robert

Ticked every box we were looking to tick. Owner comms was friendly and this house definitely delivers everything wed hoped for.

Rachel

An amazing grand old farmhouse with huge rooms and higgledy piggledy staircases. Warm comfy beds. A real find. We had a fantastic family birthday weekend so special to all sit round the huge dining table. Lovely host. Bring warm clothes if booking in winter. Consistent with the style and age of house the log fire is cosy but bedrooms get cool. Thanks Michelle.

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating a late Christmas. We were two large families and had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and we learnt how to use an aga thank you Michelle for explaining the different oven temperatures. The house is spacious, we were two family groups with 5 children 5 and under and 16 adults. We had enough hot water and had no problems with showers! Equally the hot tub was a treat under the stars. The beds were all comfortable and everyone was warm enough. We enjoyed the wood burner and had the perfect number of logs for our 3 night stay.

Literally the only little niggle I can give after a lovely stay is that it would be great if the hot tub had a roof so when it's raining you're under shelter. Other then that and flickering light in kitchen it was an amazing house, really enjoyable stay, kids loved it! Thank you.

Efficient Agency, pleasant, helpful owners and a property full of character.

Jacqueline

It would have been nice to be able to read in bed, but the bedside lamps were very dark. Those using the aga who were not accustomed to them, would have appreciated instructions. One of the bathroom showers didnt work well. Overall we LOVED the property.

Kulvinder

Lovely house with lovely host Had an amazing time celebrating my sons 18th birthday at this beautiful house. The views and walks were fantastic. Will be returning again as its a great stay to meet up with family and friends. It had everything it needed and more. The rooms are a bit dated but its the character of the house Everything for us was perfect

This is a quirky old house. Many of the floors are very uneven, but overall our family enjoyed it. The outside swimming pool was too cold. A table tennis table would have been appreciated. The gardens were beautiful. One shower didnt work and a few light bulbs needed replacing, but Michelle, the owner, was lovely and we could have contacted her about anything. Flowers and a basket with cake, wine etc were left for us, which was a lovely touch. We would visit the house again.

Lesley

The house is really lovely this is the second year we stayed. Its even better having a heated pool this year even though we had the sunshine, and the garden is terrific for little ones to run around. We loved the space, the hot tub, the comfy bedrooms, the access to Tenby and Ludlow and the glorious views. Michelle is very kind and helpful, she fixes things with great speed the microwave went bang . and left a splendid welcome basket and very yummy cake on our arrival. The dining table fits 20 easily, the kitchen is great for rolling breakfasts and the second dishwasher helps. The showers could work better but all in all we loved our stay both years, thank you to everyone and we hope to return.

Hilltop House is the perfect place for a large get together and the Welcome basket of goodies in the the kitchen was a lovely surprise. Michelle owner met us on arrival and was available throughout for any questions etc. Shes really friendly and approachable. The house is spacious and even with 20 in the group, we had lots of room including the dogs. Given the lovely weather we made good use of the ample gardens, games room, BBQ and hottub. The house does need a few updates e.g. loose handles but they are period features and it was sorted as soon as we got in touch. Its a shame the TallyHo was closed for refurbishment during our stay, so there wasnt a pub nearby. However Tenbury Wells was only a short drive away with shops, cafes and restaurants. Wed definitely recommend the Peacock Inn and Bahar Indian good food and great service at both places. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend Hilltop House to other potential visitors. Dog friendly house.

Sylvia

We had the most wonderful family holiday at Hilltop House. It was everything you could want for a family gathering. Michelle greeted us on our arrival and walked us through the house which was really lovely and spacious. There was a lovely welcome basket waiting for us which was very much appreciated. There was nothing we could fault, it had so much charm and Michelle was on the end of the phone for any queries we had. Nobody wanted to leave when the week was over, we had such fun playing French cricket in the gardens every evening. Thank you Michelle for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

What a fantastic stay! From the general wow factor of the place, to the lovely amenities, to the thoughtful additions and gifts from the host, this was a luxurious stay worth every penny. My nearly 3year old was in love with the play room and still talks about the holiday weeks later. I'll definitely recommend it to others and will hopefully be back one day!

Teresa

We had a lovely holiday at Hilltop House, and there were lots of places to visit with grandchildren and dogs. The garden set up and hot tub were great , and it was just as much fun to stay in and BBQ. A farm gate would have been useful at the open side of the house, to keep dogs snd children off the drive.The owners were very friendly and welcoming . The delicious Victoria sponge, hamper and flowers was a nice touch. Teresa Patrick

It was the perfect place for me to take my extended family for a celebration weekend. The house is beautiful and the games room was a bonus . There are many things to do and see in the vicinity A great time had by everybody

Vanessa

Superb property in a great location with wonderful views from nearly every window as well as the hot tub!

My family en mass spent the Easter weekend at Hilltop House to celebrate a number of important Birthdays at one go. The house easily accommodated all 20 in great comfort and everyone had a brilliant time. The house itself is well equipped with plenty of space and we were able to employ outside caterers who were able to use the kitchen with east. Highly recommend for a luxury weekend away.

A wonderful week, with absolutely brilliant hosts and the house is absolutely stunning.

Carole

This house surpassed all expectations and was even more stunning than the photographs. It incorporated everything you could possibly want for a congenial and comfortable family holiday. All the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and most have beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. 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. The owners are friendly and helpful and on call should you encounter any problems. We had a wonderful long weekend and would recommend this house to anyone.

Katherine

Hilltop House was absolutely perfect for our large party of 20. It's a beautiful old farmhouse with all the wonderful quirks you'd expect with it's age and history. The house was enjoyed by 3 generations, from 3 to 70 and everything had been thought of. There owners were very responsive and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful countryside break for a large party.

Gillian

Hilltop House was the perfect place for a large family party. Very well equipped, with everything we needed and more! It was very clean and welcoming, with lots of space for us all. It has amazing views too!.

The property is absolutely stunning, very well equipped and had everything you could possibly need. The views and walks around the property are beautiful. There were a few minor issues within the property that would probably have gone unnoticed if it wasnt for the high damage deposit although it is completely understandable why this is in place. Overall, a fabulous time was had by all and we would definitely return.

We enjoyed a family gathering at Hilltop. The Christmas tree was lush

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!

HIlltop house was a perfect place to get our family together for a significant birthday weekend. 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 had a fabulous time in a wonderful house. Any issues raised with the owners were dealt with quickly and satisfactorily. The only thing missing were oven gloves!

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 andor solar lights to guide the way. However this didn't detract from our enjoyment. Can't recommend this house enough. Thank you

The absolutely perfect venue for 20 family members to get together and enjoy very special times. We cannot fault this beautiful house! It accommodated us all extremely comfortably and is so well equipped with absolutely anything that you may need. Truly wonderful. We will return!

What a brilliant venue for a longawaited 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 wellkept 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
