  Lovely house with views over the valley.

  Very clean, and kitchen well equipped. Dining table needs attention, legs are very loose. Enough seating for 6 adults lounge and dining room. En suite and bathroom very clean and quite new, electric showers in both so no probs with hot water. Bedrooms have 2 king size beds, one zip link to separate into 2 small singles, not super kingsize as advertised. 3rd room has 2 single beds. Track leading to property is off road and uneven. Oil central heating - lovely and cosy. We accessed the house from the back as there is a porch, easier to dry dogs before taking them indoors. Hard floors throughout - perfect for dog families. Garden is enclosed but not dog proof, back fence in garden corner - no visible fence and other areas that dogs can get out. Sheep and lambs in adjoining field so we kept our dogs on leads in the garden. Also dogs not allowed upstairs, not made clear in advert, only in documents at the property. Stair gate provided, we used on kitchen door as didn’t want to put on stairs, space not too good and don’t want to mark the walls. We have a 6 m puppy so no choice but to have her with us in bedroom in her crate. Good cleaning equipment, vac, mop, broom, dustpan and brush. Dishwasher very handy and tabs under the sink. Would book again, as this is a lovely property, and smart tv a reasonable size, we used our Google stick to view. WiFi provided good enough to stream.

  Absolutely beautiful house & surroundings; however we were disappointed given how rural it is at the lack of dog walking available from the property.

  We would like to point out that the drive isn't suitable for some cars, if you came in a sports car you wouldn't make it down. The house was lovely & clean when we arrived & there was absolutely everything you could ask for to cook full meals at the property, along with a good size fridge & freezer. The dining kitchen was really lovely for the social aspect along with the table & chairs in the garden which the weather allowed us to use on the first night we where there which was lovely. A footstool or 2 in the living room would have added some extra comfort as for 4 adults relaxing on an evening wasn't massively relaxing. The beds are hard, which as someone who likes a hard mattress I thought would be fine, but the double we had to put the duvet under the sheet to pad it out a bit! We feel some people may struggle with this. Bathrooms were lovely & clean & showers were great even when all 4 of us were showering to go out. Having the downstairs toilet was a massive bonus. Location is what really let it down for us sadly. It felt like a 30 minute drive was required to get anywhere & the lack of a village pub to walk to again was a disappointment. For a retreat of doing nothing, this property is perfect & absolutely beautiful, but I wouldn't say it's best placed for exploring Worcestershire personally.

  The property is absolutely lovely.

  We were unfortunate in that we arrived in the middle of horrendous floods, and were trapped in the property and local area for a few days, and it was big enough that nobody went stir crazy. There are plenty of books and games to keep the kids engaged and occupy your mind. TV connection is good. The kitchen is capable of feeding a house full of people, and the cooker is good. The heating clicks and bangs a little when it starts up in the morning. The only real downside is the connectivity. Mobile phone connection is quite poor, and inside the house is only available in a few tiny locations. Outside is better. WiFi connection is very slow and intermittent. Speedtest reported the download speed at 0.2 MBPS and upload at 7 MBPS at one point. If you are travelling to get internet connectivity you might want to rethink your plans. Outside the property, there are lots of attractions to visit, and the area is positively bristling with beautiful scenery. We plan to revisit some time soon when the weather is more favourable.

  Beautiful house, very well equipped.

  Lovely and clean - nice welcoming owners. Plenty of space for 8 adults without getting under each others feet.Comfy sofas to lounge around on and a good sized dining table. Good sleep quality too. Very quiet outside as house on working farm. Good range of places to visit in near vicinity - which we did!! Good supply of brochures and guide books about the area provided. I would recommend the Tenbury Fish Bar - we were able to phone in an order to be collected later in the evening. Word of warning - very, very generous portions! I would very highly recommend this house for family and friends

  We only stayed for 3 nights and had dinner out on two nights.

  However, it would be useful to know what to bring as it varies from property to property. We brought kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets but they were provided, we didn't bring cooking oil but none was provided. There were very small pots of salt and pepper which were nearly exhausted. Sykes should give lists of what each property should supply so that guests do not have to transport a mobile kitchen to each property. I offer this not as a criticism of the Hop Kiln owners who were both friendly and most welcoming but to help people like us who rent several properties each year.
