The Chestnuts Reviews

The Chestnuts was a fabulous home from home and provided us with everything we needed for our 3 family getogether. It was very comfortable and spacious with a brilliant lounge area with cosy fire. The house was very dog friendly. Hot water aplenty and everything to keep the adults and teenagers happy. I strongly recommend.
Alistair
We really loved the house and enjoyed our visit to the area. The kitchen is a joy to cook in, the Aga made cooking Christmas dinner interesting, and the couch in the kitchen turns out to be a wonderful innovation that we want to do at our own home now! The living room is fabulously large and comfortable. Unlike many places that feel like they've shoehorned cheap furniture into too small a space, in this farm house all rooms are very spacious and appropriately furnished. I've never had a rental before where every chair and bed was comfortable! This place has character, everyone loved it, so we highly recommend it.
We always enjoy our stays at The Chestnuts, we have stayed several times now. It is great for large groups and is in an outstanding quiet location. Tenbury is just a few minutes down the road which is handy for shops and restaurants. We've always found the owners helpful.
We had a great weekend. Wonderful views. Comfy beds. We had a lovely welcome of juice, milk and tasty snacks. There were plenty of loo rolls, tea towels and anything we might need. Slow cooked a chicken casserole all day in the Aga amazing flavour. Very clean. Cosy fire with plenty of firewood for the evenings. Highly recommended.
Fabulously comfortable and warm beds, all big rooms, plenty of bathrooms for 7 mature women and warm. We will return. Could have done with some pyrex casserole dishes for the Aga ovens and hooks on the back of doors for dressing gowns etc, but otherwise very well equipped.
Antony
Everything about the property filled your accurate description. The Chestnuts is an enchanting and beautifully situated converted stable. I would highly recommended this to other people.
T Stephen
The house is beautiful and I think there is space to provide a bathshower room for each bedroom.
Richard
Excellent accomodation and perfect for a large group. Lots of room, very well equipped and owners were superhelpful. The only letdown was the walking in the area as a number of paths were so poorly maintained as to be almost impassable! The nearby towns, Tenbury Wells and Ludlow, were lovely and had excellent pubs, cafes and shops.
Steven
Lovely property in beautiful part of the countryside, but would've benefitted from the following improvements 1 a washing line the garden is penty big enough! 2 a hose pipe for washing off the dogs after walks 3 blinds in the kitchen windows the sun streams in through there at mealtimes and also in the skylight in the bedroom above the kitchen as it was very light in that room at the time we put the kids to bed, which kept them awake.
Ingrid
Wonderful amount of space huge rooms. Plenty of space to have all the people comfortably in each room. Wonderful views. The gardens are now no longer secure so containing dogs children in the warmer months could be an issue when outside doors are open but for us this week it was manageable. There are 3 large properties on site and one of our dogs did go to visit the dog at the large house. The fields around the house are great for early dog exercise hidden pheasants!!!! Well equipped with a lovely welcome package and very helpful hosts. The only reason we didnt give a 4 for comfort was that the beds we used were all a little too soft. Well situated for great days out. The 6 of us and 3 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our week at Chestnuts and we would recommend this house for a large group who wanted to spend time together.
F Charles
We had a great time and will be returning.
Chandulal
We have just returned from a fabulous stay at The Chestnuts. The house is beautiful and very well cared for by the owners. The location and views are spectacular. Michelle was extremely friendly and helpful. The welcome treats were a lovely touch, the Victoria sponge cake was the best I have ever tasted! Thank you. We would definitely recommend and hope to revisit one day.
It was a lovely time but with 2 issues. Firstly, TV the Freeview signal was either very poor or not existing, and we had to resort to viewing through a laptop. Secondly, noise both floors and partitions provided little insulation, and every noise or footstep could be heard elsewhere. The creaking floors were a particular problem. On the other hand, the layout of the property was lovely, with a nice living room with comfy sofas around the fireplace, and a great kitchendining area with a large table.
F Charles
We enjoyed our stay but there were some issues. The kitchendining room windows need blinds or curtains for privacy and because the morning sun shines into the eyes of diners. The french doors by the bottom of the stairs need locks or bolts to secure them. They blew open and we had to wedge the wheely big against them. There is NO can opener. Some of the lights are not working. The fridge is inconvenient in the store room. However, the new bigger beds, the wine cooler, the new electric cooker to compliment the Arga, and the enhanced kitchen cupboards and work surfaces are all good.
The property is stunning and Michelle was lovely we had a great weekend.
Trevor
Spacious, warm, comfy. Friendly host and delicious arrival gifts. Great area to explore.
Lesley
The property was perfect for a family holiday we had 9 adults, 3 babies and 2 dogs. Michelle arranged extra high chairs and cots for us. The views were amazing and the property was very well equipped. The only reason we didnt give 5 stars for accuracy of listing was that we all thought we read that the garden was enclosed and it wasn't completely enclosed. But a perfect place to stay
Shirley
Fantastic property in an excellent location. Friendly and helpful owners.
The property was fantastic and exactly what we needed! We were able to stay with such ease and you were really welcoming to us the cake was incredible! It was easy enough to find and in the perfect location for what we were looking for so thanks again.
Hosts were very welcoming and chatty. We appreciated the goodies they left. The house is very spacious and characterful. It suited our family 7 adults and two children brilliantly. Very well equipped for a large group. Bedrooms were a very good size and the bathroom situation was more than adequate. The sloping floors were a little disconcerting to begin with but added to the propertys quirkiness. One tiny gripe was that the floorboards creaked and this woke the baby and toddler on a couple of occasions and the whole household early one morning! The garden was great for games and sitting out. Incredible views from most rooms. In short, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend the house.
A lovely property, full of character and as described. Our threegenerational extended family had a wonderful time.
A lovely house , beautiful views, the washing machine broke when we were there the owners bought a new one the next day,always on hand when needed very friendly, you need a car if you stay here. Some rooms had no wardrobe or any where to put clothes,wasnt a problem as just kept clothes in suitcase,relaxing holiday definitely recommended by us all thanks Michelle
We have a wonderful week at The Chestnuts. We were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday and were able to invite people to come and stay with us and hold a couple gettogethers with friends and family living nearby. The accommodation is fabulous, wellappointed rooms with everything provided, a big kitchen and a lovely big lawn for children and adults to run around in. The views at the front of the property are stunning!
Stuart
Property was great for the family gathering with plenty of social space in lounge and kitchen, as well as good sized bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. The Garden was great to play in with kids young and old and lovely views outside. Kitchen chairs were the only slight worry as a lot felt wobbly when sat on, so would benefit from repair or replacement.
We had a wonderful family break at The Chestnuts. There were 7 adults, 2 children and 2 large dogs and the accommodation was perfect for us. We loved that the heart of the house, the kitchen, was spacious with a huge dining table and a sofa so we could all socialise in there comfortably. The house contained everything we needed and more. The beds we comfy. The Family bedroom was great for people who like to have their young children close whilst staying somewhere so spacious and unfamiliar. The garden was fantastic for family games and the dogs loved having lots of space to run around. There is a public footpath with a lovely walk right on the doorstep which was also great. We will definitely be recommending and rebooking.
We had a fantastic holiday. We had a great chat with the owners before we arrived to ensure the set up would accomodate our group. When we arrived we had a lovely welcome basket, which went down a treat after a long drive. All requests we had for the owners were allowedfulfilled and it made our stay really enjoyable. The space is amazing. We had 4 children ranging from 28 and the garden was safe, secure and meant they didnt get bored. I did think the quiet location would mean we would have to entertain them, but the grounds, local walks etc were great. The kitchen is really well stocked. I brought the kitchen utensils I cant live without but there was no need there was everything. We did a family murder mystery night in the kitchen and it was brill as it was such a sociable area. Nice to walk around the village a short drive away, chipshop and tesco within driving distance 10 mins and also in a location we could get a good shop delivered for our arrival date. It was just fab and hope to return soon.
Reviewed by Lynne 110322 A lovely large and comfortable holiday cottage. The welcome tray full of goodies was much appreciated, as well as having all the basics such as tea, coffee and cleaning liquid. The Chestnuts is well equipped. Only one suggestion as in a small jug would have been useful. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay.
The property was lovely and did exactly what we needed for our stay. The hosts were very friendly and the welcome basket was a nice touch.
A very enjoyable stay in fabulous old house with all the oak timbers and beams exposed but with all the mod cons present. The house was perfect for the 12 of us staying along with 3 dogs with lots of space and stunning views of the surrounding country side. The house was situated ideally to visit the local historic towns of Ludlow, Bromyard and Tenbury Wells. And finally a big thankyou to Mitchell for all her help for making this a wonderful stay, even keeping the Xmas tree there for our delayed family Xmas.
Jacqueline
Had a fantastic family break at the Chestnuts. Very relaxed environment for a large family gathering that includes adults, children and three small dogs. Roger, Michelle and family are just lovely. Thank you so much for a great stay.
Really disappointed that the garden was not enclosed as stated in property advert, our dogs could escape the garden in every direction and we had the worry of them running straight out onto main road which meant we could only take them out for toileting, no play time. Plus 5 minutes after arriving we found our youngest dog chewing on a yellow tablet shed found in the kitchen, inside of cupboards were dirty plus herbs etc left for your use if wanted some were 8 years out of date. Our last day was slightly spoilt by being without electricity for some time. House is lovely overall and comfy, beds were really nice and comfy and clean, the largest sofa definitely needs updating but the rest were comfy. Outside light didnt work and no where to shelter in winterbad weather if your a smoker. We had a nice time and house is really nice overall, just needs a deep clean and garden making safe for dogs that might run off.
Stephen
Very nice house. Well equipped and in a beautiful location.Owners very friendly and helpful.We would definitely recommend a stay here.
Anthony
It is without doubt a lovely house. Very large and specious. All the facilities you could need I believe. Ideal for large family gathering. Directions were spot on thank you. What we liked. Size, views, aga, kitchen generally. What we felt could make it 1010. Update bathrooms, heating with the exception of the kitchen most of the space was coldwe did stay during storm Arwyn, some of the cheaper furniture and the bathrooms gave the house a 70s holiday home feel, enclose back garden for dogs. Thank you for letting us use your lovely home.
Our big extended family including 4 children of various ages have just had a lovely week at The Chestnuts, which was enjoyed by all. The farmhouse has beautiful views and a lovely garden and is surrounded by superb countryside. The owner Michelle and her son were very helpful and friendly and left us a great welcome pack, which was unexpected and very thoughtful. We had a few issues, which Michelle sorted out very promptly the main one being it had only 12 beds and not the 13 advertised. Additionally, there were a few cons the kitchen chairs were all in various stages of falling apart one actually did fall to pieces while someone was sitting on it also the window frames really need attention the window to the bedroom over the kitchen, though closed, let so much rain in that it soaked the headboard inside the room. We left a note to this effect for the caretakers, in the hopes that they will warn the owners as if something isnt done soon they risk losing the window frames and damage to the rooms. A wonderful property, just needing some TLC!
Lyndsey
A lovely property in a beautiful location. The owner was super helpful and friendly when organising key collection and helping us find the fire wood. The welcome pack was yummy and a nice surprise.
Great cottage for a big family get together, loads of room. Very well equipped with all the basics too. Lovely area to visit, especially Ludlow. Michelle was a very helpful host.
Catherine
The owner was accommodating and helpful. The house was as described and very clean. We had a great stay, it was perfect for a family gathering.
Cheryl
This farm house is in an amazing location with fantastic views and amazing sunsets. It has all the home comforts and would thoroughly recommend it for a large family.
We had an issue with extra charges. We had paid for the week and initially thought we would leave on the Tuesday. We contacted Sykes and they stated this would be fine with only a 30 admin charge to pay. We mentioned to the owner that we would be leaving on Wednesday rather than Tuesday and he said there would be 150 charge. This created an awkward situation. When we rang Sykes back they said it was to do with having to cancel and rebook cleaners stating that it would cost 120. They then offerred a 20 contribution and no admin fee. Despite this we were left feeling rather as though the owner and Sykes were just trying to get more money from us. We also have property which we rent out and a 120 charge for cleaner cancellation felt rather unbelievable to us even though this is a large property. That said we absolutely loved our stay at the Chestnuts and would happily return.
Malcolm
Cosy and warm, reluctant to leave. Well equipped kitchen and using the Aga was fun. We'd recommend it.
