"A lone female traveller i was expecting something very different as reviews were very good. All i wanted as a quiet restful evening and sleep. The check in is at the bar, which was already busy at 4.30. The rooms are above the bar and some further away. I was told by the really helpful lads at the bar that there was a band playing that evening finishing at 12. My room overlooked the very busy car park which would have been very noisy at kick out. I didnt stay. The room smelt strange, the walls were tatty, I didnt investigate further. I got one of lads from the bar to come and smell it. He agreed. He very quickly arranged a refund with the manager. Not full as i have to claim the rest from expedia. If you want a busy pub venue you probably would love it. It left me with no option but to drive back to Dorset. From the lakes this was a 7.5 hour drive. Not what i needed exhausting. The lads i met were brilliant and the manager prompt with a refund. "

"The Lily Pad is a lovely apartment, with gorgeous views, plenty of inside and outside space to sit and relax, and fully equipped with everything you could need."

"Good size room, but furthest one away from bar \ restaurant. It was an accessible room which wasn't what i booked, but it was very quiet after some patrons going out to back for late smokes. Got a warm welcome when checking in, & there were good drink options, although surprised at how early the bar closed. Breakfast was excellent & well presened. Would recommend friends & family to stay there if cisiting the area. Only disappointing thing was the room rate was reduced by £10 the day after we booked, and although it said free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but when i tried it said I would lose all money if cancelled."

"Very friendly, helpful hosts. Beautiful clean, comfortable cottage. Everything you needed was there. Lovely position, easy walking into Alcester. Plenty of things to do in the near area."

"Great breakfast, friendly staff, good location, comfortable hotel"

"Great well done room"

"Check in could be improved. Arrived to a busy pub with customers waiting for service at the bar and no designated check in desk. Several staff just walked past us with our bags and no one acknowledged we were trying to check in for several minutes. The room was okay but not as shown on our booking confirmation - it was an attic room with very steep stairs and a not very safe landing area outside the door. The bathroom had been shoehorned in under a sloping ceiling - there was no shower, just a bath with handheld shower attachment. For anyone elderly or with any motability issues this room would have been totally unsuitable - the bath was very difficult to get in/out even with a grab rail. The bedroom had sloping ceilings - resulting in banged heads. Breakfast was good but the menu in the room folder is not the breakfast menu on offer. Parking is in a busy pub carpark and can be a challenge to find a space. Overall we had a nice stay but there is potential for improvement. "

"We enjoyed our stay. The place wasn't as clean as it could have been. Lots of cobwebs with dead insects. Rubbish under the sofa. No milk in welcome pack. Kitchen utensils not ideal. The location was ideal and the hot tub was great,"

"We had a pleasant stay at the Combine Shed overall, but we did feel the property is starting to look a little tired and could benefit from some updates. A few items seemed due for replacement, such as some of the pots and pans, and the sofas have noticeably lost their comfort. Also the carpet in front of the woodburner has suffered burn damage. The shower appears to be fitted the wrong way around, with hot and cold reversed. Unfortunately, this meant our first experience of the water that was either too hot or too cold before we realised, which was concerning. We also weren’t able to use the hot tub on our first evening. I understand it’s advised that it may not be ready until 7pm, however at 9pm it was still only 30 degrees, so it wasn’t hot enough to use, which was disappointing. While I appreciate it’s not guaranteed, it would have been a lovely touch to have a small amount of milk provided on arrival. The nearest shop is around a 10-minute drive away, so it’s not ideal when you’ve just arrived and would like a cup of tea. Similarly, three robes rather than two would have been helpful for using the hot tub, although we did appreciate that robes and towels were supplied. Overall, we had a nice stay, but we do feel the property would benefit from a bit of a refresh and a few thoughtful updates to really enhance the experience. Location wise, it’s a really lovely spot. The views from the garden and especially from the hot tub are beautiful. There’s a Co-op and a One Stop within a short drive, or around a 15-minute walk away, which is handy. It’s worth checking in advance whether the local pubs and restaurants are serving food, particularly out of peak season. When we visited in February, quite a few were either closed at the start of the week or not serving food on Mondays and Tuesdays, which we hadn’t realised when we planned to eat out on the Tuesday evening. I would highly recommend a visit to the Cottage of Content. It’s about a 15-minute walk away. The walk can feel a little precarious late at night as there are no pavements, but the two publicans were very welcoming, offered great local recommendations, and the food was excellent. If we’d stayed longer, we would definitely have gone back. We also really enjoyed a meal at Balti Hot. The service was great and the curry was delicious. It’s also about a 15-minute walk, this time with pavements the whole way, which makes it an easy option. For days out, Warwick Castle is around a 40-minute drive and made for a fantastic day. If you’re a National Trust member, Croome is well worth visiting. We’d also recommend a trip to Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds, which is very picturesque. Overall, it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area."
