The Hunting Lodge at Ragley Estate - sleeps 16 guests in 7 bedrooms

We stayed at the Hunting Lodge for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's 40th. The house is beautiful, in a gorgeous setting with lots of lovely walks on your doorstep. The house is well maintained, with all mod-cons whilst still maintaining its character and charm. All our guests noted they slept well and thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Alison, the housekeeper, was very attentive, sending a welcome email the night before our arrival and was on hand for any last minute queries we had. The only concerns future guests should note is 1) the walls are exceptionally thin, with little to no sound-proofing. As such, children were kept awake upstairs simply by adults having normal volume conversations downstairs, and 2) the house is located immediately next door to what appears to be a small industrial setting, which was empty during our stay but once filled again I could imagine would impede on the feeling of privacy.

Loved the quirkiness of this house and the grandchildren spent hours playing hide and seek as there were lots of places to hide! Provides good facilities for our large family of 14. The hot tub is great but as it says in the instructions it takes at least 5 hours to get to temp and needs a lot of wood which is provided, worth the effort though.

A beautiful, warm spacious house with gorgeous views. All bedrooms were comfortable and tastefully furnished. Bedding and towels to a standard one would hope for. Absolutely perfect for our family of 11 plus the dog. Kitchen well stocked, although in need of new chopping boards. 2 dishwashers were a great advantage. Hot tub fun despite having to cut down a forest to heat it! All was super, although we had to oven juggle, when catering as the large Belling oven wasn’t working!

The house is beautiful, with wonderful views from the garden. The service was amazing and the house beautifully prepared when we arrived. It's an old building with lots of character.
