From a distance you can see the uber-modern barn exterior - a exceptionally striking sight siting proud at the top of the hill. Spend your evenings sitting outside on the patio eating alfresco from the BBQ and relaxing in the outdoor hot tub as you watch the sun set on the magnificent rolling countryside. Inside is a magnificent atrium-like hallway with stunning high ceilings and a stately split staircase leading up to the hugely impressive, first-floor living-dining-kitchen area and upper terrace. The ground floor is made up of four well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and two super king-size bedrooms (with zip and link beds that can be twin or super-king on request), serviced by a large family bathroom and separate cloakrooms. Gather around the super-sized kitchen island and while away the hours socialising with your friends, then serve up at the dining table or, when the weather is right, head out onto the terrace and dine alfresco. Retire to the comfort of the living room where you can kick back and relax on one of the plush and stylish sofas, in front of the woodburning stove while watching a film on the extra-large smart TV. \*Please make yourself aware of the hot tub rules and hours of use. An additional fee applies, and it must be requested at the time of booking. \*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date. Ground Floor Lower Lodge Barn is a reverse-level property with all four bedrooms on the ground floor and the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the first floor. The property has underfloor heating throughout. Entrance Hall: Step in through the front door into the very impressive, double height, atrium-style hallway with a split staircase straight ahead leading to the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Boot Room: Just inside the hallway is a handy room for hanging coats and storing boots and shoes. Bedroom One: This lovely bright room has a king-size bed, bedside tables and touch on/off reading lamps. French windows open onto the lawn with views extending far into the distance. The room is furnished with a wardrobe, chest of drawers, a day chair, a full-length mirror and a smart TV. Family Bathroom: This spacious bathroom has a cabinet shower, with overhead and handheld shower heads, an extra-deep bath (with central taps), a double-length wash basin with vanity unit and mirror, toilet and heated towel rail. Bedroom Two: The smallest bedroom but with an impressive view over the neighbouring farmland and woodland. This room is furnished with two zip and link single beds that can be left as twin beds or made up as a super-king-size bed\*. The bedroom has bedside tables and touch on/off reading lamps, a chest of drawers and smart TV. French windows open onto the lawn. (\*Please state preference on booking). Bedroom Three: This light and bright, spacious bedroom has a zip and link super king-size bed\* with bedside tables and touch on/off reading lamps. It is furnished with a wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, a chest of drawers and smart TV and full-length mirror. French windows open onto the lawn. (\*The bed will be made up as a super-king double but can be a twin on request. Please state preference on booking). Cloakroom: In the main hallway, immediately outside Bedrooms Two and Three, is a toilet with hand basin. Bedroom Four: At the entrance to the Barn's master en-suite bedroom is a custom-built, double wardrobe. Continuing on into this spacious room you'll find a king-size bed with bedside tables and touch on/off reading lamps, a chest of drawers, a smart TV, full-length mirror, day chair and large circular pouf. French windows open onto the lawn. En-suite Bathroom: Featuring a cabinet shower with overhead and handheld shower heads, an extra-deep bath (with central taps), a double-length wash basin with vanity unit and mirror, a toilet and heated towel rail. Utility Room: This handy room has a washing machine, sink, storage units (for the patio seat cushions) and ironing facilities. Next to it is the boiler room with a clothes airer. First Floor An impressive, wooden, split staircase with banisters leads up to the spectacular, open-plan living-dining-kitchen area. Custom-built, lockable stairgates are at the top of the two divided staircases. (Note: a stairgate is not provided at the base of the stairs, so young children should be supervised at all times when on the ground floor.) Kitchen - Dining Room - Living Room: As soon as you get to the top of the staircase, you'll see why the owners refurbished the Barn as a reverse-level home: the fabulous, open plan kitchen-dining-living room has far-reaching views across the surrounding farmland and countryside through three sets of French windows - each with a glass, Juliette balcony. Impressive Ragley Hall - the seat of the Marquess of Hertford - is visible in the near distance. The Barn has oak-effect flooring throughout with underfloor heating and chic-industrial-style lighting. The room has wall-mounted Sonos Bluetooth speakers. The fully equipped kitchen features a long and wide island, with six bar stools, storage cupboards, a provisions fridge and a wine fridge. To one side of the island is an induction hob and double oven, a double sink and cupboards full of all the contemporary equipment you need for a self-catering stay. On the other side of the island is a long dining table and chairs to comfortably seat eight guests. Gather around the kitchen island and while away the hour socialising with your friends as you grab a chilled bottle of champagne from the wine fridge whilst the chef of the group cooks up a storm on the beautiful white granite worktops. Serve your meal up at the breakfast bar, the dining table or head outside and dine alfresco. The fabulous living area has two parts: a snug seating area, with two, pink velvety armchairs placed to enjoy the view, and a main area, with a super-size woodburner, a large L-shaped sofa and two armchairs, and an extra-large smart TV with a sound bar. Terrace: To one side of the dining area are bi-fold doors that open out to a terrace furnished with a large, square table and four rattan armchairs with foot stools. The terrace has a very effective wall heater, making it a fabulous year-round spot to enjoy a drink, relax with a book or play some games. Utility Room + Cloakroom: Alongside the kitchen area is a cloakroom with a toilet and wash basin and a separate utility room with a U.S.-style fridge-freezer, microwave, cleaning equipment, and kitchen units with worktops and storage (where guests will find the BBQ tools). Outside The Barn's double wooden gates open to reveal a large, gravel driveway, with room for five to six cars and a far-reaching view of the local farm and woodland. To the right-hand side of the Barn is a patio with a large table and eight chairs, which is positioned close to a brick BBQ - the perfect spot for al fresco dining. Head down the steps from the dining patio to a bubbling, six-seater hot tub with in-tub lighting and a private patio with a sofa, two armchairs and spa-like floor lighting. To the front of the barn is a long, narrow lawn and footpath that passes in front of the four bedrooms. At the entrance gate is a wooden shed where cushions for the outdoor furniture are stored. Guests may also keep bicycles in the shed. \* Additional fee of £89 for use of the hot tub per stay. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Games - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,573 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114840000/114837700/114837633/145c94e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful, fully equipped, pet friendly 3 bedroom house in Shakespeare County.

Lower Lodge Barn provided this. Open plan living area where we were altogether and bedrooms on the ground floor provided the privacy required. Lovely drive up to the barn, with beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. The accommodation was as described and more and we had a lovely time altogether. Only negative was that the fence surrounding the property was not fully enclosed for the dogs, but they didn't wander far anyway! Would highly recommend this property for a family/friends getaway. Would definitely return.. ##### Melanie S.

Clean, comfortable and fab position. Walking distance to a lot of pubs and restaurants. The Fish, The Bridge at Bidford on Avon. The owner Will was very helpful with all our questions. It’s a really lovely light and open space to be in. Kitchen fully equipped, could just do with a coffee machine. Maybe hooks on the back of the bedroom/bathroom doors, to hang your dressing gown on. They are very slightly things. Definitely follow What’s Three Words, not the postcode. Definitely booking again. ##### Sally F.

The beautiful views were a delight to look out on every day. Unfortunately the pub is not a three minute walk as advertised by Bolthole and the track to the property is a long unmade road and not suitable for all cars. We had a lovely time and made some wonderful memories.

Our only minor quibble was that we asked for a certain set-up with the beds (which ones to set up as doubles/twins) and this wasn’t observed. It didn’t spoil our stay though. We will be back! ##### Jane B.

The Lodge was spotless, very modern, private and so much space for a family of 5 adults and 2 children we were never on top of each other. The hottub man Will was lovely with knowledge about the area. Didnt want to come home. Highly recommended and will be back This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Feb 2024 #### A long weekend If you’re hesitating about booking this place, don’t! Just book it you won’t be disappointed. This property is immaculate … I booked a weekend away with my friends and they loved it. They kept complimenting me on finding this gem. Everything you need is catered for and you won’t want to leave … I certainly didnt. The upside down house gives you amazing unspoilt views of the countryside and Dave is on hand should you need anything at all. Thank you for having us … would love to return again one day.

The barn is stunning with fabulous views over rolling hills where we spotted deer and hare. From the main road you head up through a farm on a slightly uneven farm track. We brought our dog and the walks in Oversley wood just beside the barn were perfect. The walk to the nearest pub is about 20 mins; downhill there and uphill on the way back. We ate there (The 3 horseshoes) and had a super Thai meal. The barn is just north of the Cotswolds about 25 minutes to the stunning villages of Broadway and Chipping Campden. The accommodation is just as it looks, stunning views from each bedroom and very comfortable beds. We would highly recommend Lower Lodge Barn.

If you're thinking of doing something similar, I can highly recommend Lower house Barn. First of all, the location is brilliant, as we had family members travelling from the north-west, London and Devon, so this was pretty much equi-distant for us all. The configuration of the barn with the bedrooms downstairs and living room upstairs allows for wonderful views of the hills and Ragley Hall in the distance. Our trip coincided with some heavy rain, and sitting on the covered balcony with the heater on, a glass of wine, watching the deer run around and listening to the downpour was magical. You don't have to leave the barn as it has everything that you need but if you do there is an nice walk to the village with 2 pubs. We opted for The Fish, which served great food and a cracking pint of Butty Bach from the Wye Valley Brewery to boot. For those of you with dogs, the garden isn't huge but is fully enclosed so your pooch can roam (although very small dogs might be able to squeeze under the gate?). The track to the barn is about 3/4 mile long, and is easily accessible - you might have to go slow but it's nothing to worry about. We would definitely return. ##### Paul M.

This was my wife’s 2nd time and my first time at Lower Lodge Barn and what a fabulous place! A perfect place for a family & friends get away, the top floor open plan living is great and I enjoyed many a glass of wine sat looking out over the fields. I also have to mention the hot tub which looks out over views of the fields, a morning coffee in the winter sun is definitely recommended! The barn was very clean and tidy, all the bedrooms were good, the kitchen is well equipped…we cooked a full Sunday lunch while we were there, and communication while we were there from a friendly guy called Dave who deals with the property was great! It’s in a perfect location too, the town of Alcester is a 30min easy walk away with a great pub called The Turks Head (good beer and food) and a short slightly hilly 20mins in the other direction the hamlet of Wixford has two pubs. We had a drink at The Fish (good real ale) and ate at The Three Horseshoes (no real ale) which has two menus, traditional pub grub and also Thai, we opted for the the Thai and it was great! The only slightly negatives I could give and it’s not really a negative just a change in information and a little fix is: 1\. All the information says there’s a pub 3min walk away and there isn’t, it’s 20-30mins away 2\. The information for playing the music on the Sonos isn’t correct, you basically use Spotify or another streaming service to connect to the speakers (it took a while to connect so be patient!) you also might need the Sonos app the connect all the speakers together as they were all separated to individual speakers when I tried to connect. 3\. The TV sound bar remote doesn’t work with that sound bar (I checked the batteries) you can turn it on at the rear of the sound bar. 4\. The bathroom shower temperature control was loose so it was hard to set the water temperature Apart from those things which are very very minor things and didn’t change are stay at all, the place js great and we’ll definitely be coming back! ##### Mark G.

The facilities were perfect and generally very clean. Our only gripe would be the outside seating areas were not as clean as they could have been, but this is always tricky when surrounded by farm land and it was very windy. The location for us was perfect and we had the best time - thank you! ##### SARAH M.

Bathrobes for the hot tub would have been good, and bathroom locks either absent or not working. Oven needed cleaning but everywhere else was fine. Overall, a lovely property and we enjoyed a very relaxing stay there. Owner responded quickly to the one query we had whilst there. ##### Alison R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
