Guests say
Fenn House is a well-received cottage offering a comfortable and spacious stay with a well-equipped kitchen and ample parking. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the warm welcome with a thoughtful touch of a Prosecco, and its proximity to local attractions and walks. Minor issues include soft mattresses and poor TV reception, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with one describing it as 'so clean'. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest a high standard is maintained.
The location is praised for being well-positioned, close to a village, train station, and local attractions. The convenience for exploring the area is highlighted, although one guest mentioned industrial lights at night.
The property is described as comfortable and spacious, with plenty of hot water and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests found the mattresses too soft, which indicates a variance in comfort preferences.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room. However, minor negatives such as the lack of a blind in one bedroom and poor TV reception slightly lower the score.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome pack with Prosecco, milk, and biscuits. While this is appreciated, it is important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Had a fabulous weekend. It was nice to rent a property which actually catered for the full occupancy.Our only disappointment was the industrial lights shining through the blinds at night. A sign for the house on the entrance to the property 😃

The house is very well positioned just a 15 minute walk into the village of Alvechurch and 5 minute walk to the train station, local pub and marina. The parking is brilliant easily fit 4 cars on.The house is large with a well equipped kitchen (even has a ninja), plenty of glasses and crockery. All basic supplies provided including condiments, dishwasher tablets etc. the bottle of Prosecco, milk and biscuits in the welcome pack were appreciated.Overall the property is clean and comfortable there were only a few minor negatives - lack of blind/ curtain in the twin bedroom, some of the beds would have looked smarter with valances and the tv reception is very poor ( we used Netflix so it didn’t bother us but if you don’t have Netflix you are a bit limited)None of these bothered us much but if corrected would give this 5 star all round
