Snaptrip says

Hilltop House is consistently praised for its spaciousness, homely charm, and beautiful views. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the ample garden space. The property's antique character and the warm welcome from the host, including a welcome basket, add to the positive experience. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The reviews frequently mention the property being clean and well-maintained, with fresh flowers and a welcome basket adding to the impression of cleanliness and care. However, there are no specific comments detailing the level of cleanliness, hence the score is not a full 100.

The location is often described as beautiful with stunning views and good access to local towns and attractions. The peaceful countryside setting is a highlight, although the closure of a nearby pub and the need for a short drive to access local amenities slightly affect the score.

Guests find the beds warm and comfy, and the house spacious enough for large groups. The presence of a hot tub and well-equipped kitchen contribute to the comfort. Some guests mention uneven floors and variability in room temperatures, which slightly impacts the score.

The property boasts a range of facilities including a hot tub, swimming pool, and games room, which are well-received. However, there are several mentions of minor maintenance issues such as a non-working shower and the need for a tumble dryer, which suggests room for improvement.

The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the warm welcomes and the provision of a welcome basket, which guests find delightful. However, as the reviews do not guarantee that such gifts are provided consistently to all guests, it is not possible to accurately score this category.

Tenbury Wells is a charming, ancient market town situated on the banks of the River Teme in Worcestershire. Dating back to the Iron Age and said to have been called 'my little town in the orchard' by Queen Victoria, Tenbury Wells boasts a unique 18th century bridge built by Thomas Telford, the magnificent Pump Rooms, which housed baths where local mineral water was available, and many other listed buildings dating back to the 17th century. This bustling town has many individual shops, traditional pubs, cafes and tea rooms and plays host to many festivals throughout the year notably the Applefest in October and Holly and Mistletoe around Christmas. It is home to weekly craft and farmers’ markets and a fully restored Art Deco cinema with a full programme of events. Ludlow, with its famous castle, is one of the most beautiful towns in Britain offers a medieval street pattern, which remains almost intact and provides an amazing backdrop for the town's regular markets. Renowned for its shopping, Ludlow also has high quality restaurants, excellent tea shops and pubs. Also within easy reach is Church Stretton, known as Little Switzerland, the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge, Leominster, Hereford and Shrewsbury, as well as the Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall and Hay-on-Wye, famous for its annual Literary Festival in May/June.

    Not too pristine so more relaxing with kids/dogs. Loads of room and very comfortable. Generally good cooking facilities and plenty of crockery etc. lovely views. Very friendly staff/owners; quickly dealt with minor problem. Would happily come back.

  • Peter

    Good sized reception rooms and large dining table to accommodate 20+. Pool table and hot tub also good.

  • Dave

    We loved the house and it’s 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.
