Peace near the M1
Close to the motorway so highly accessible and in such a quiet spot you can't fail to lose yourself in the countryside. Very near to Coombe Abbey Park which is a fantastic outdoors visit for families and quite near to lots of interesting new manufacturing facilities for those geeks like me who are turned on by what's possible. Property is nice and spacious, well equipped, cosy whilst private spaces lend themselves to different family units staying under the same roof without getting under each other's feet. Of course there's a tonne of stuff to do in the West Midlands and we didn't have chance to even scratch the surface, but we hope to be back and there's something to please everyone if you're thinking about it.

Family Faux Christmas at The Farmhouse, Nettle Hill Hill Brinklow
What an amazing space for our mixed age family. The host decorated the sitting room beautifully with a tree and pretty lights. Unfortunately we had the coldest snap for many years which created a few issues on arrival which Gareth did his best to deal with. It also prevented the children from really taking advantage of and enjoying the amazing facilities and play area. It has to be remembered that this is an old farmhouse which has been modernised with some of the draw backs that this creates. Unfortunately we won't be using this property again as we weren't made aware that though all the bedrooms had en suit bathrooms, they were all open plan with no doors on them and none of our family were comfortable with that. That said the two main family living areas were great.

Amazing Host and Great House
This Farmhouse was the perfect accommodation for our family of 11. There was an en-suite bathroom for each bedroom. Several reviews mentioned that the bathrooms have no doors but the bedrooms associated with the bathrooms do and locks so I don’t see what the issue is. The host Sandra was very sweet and accommodating. It was an overall great experience.

Delayed family get together for parents' 80 birthdays
This accommodation worked well for our weekend gathering as a family. The beds available on the ground floor were great from my Mum as stairs would have been an issue. The prevision of six bedrooms worked well for our number. The kitchen space and lounge space proved to be fine for us getting together to chat, catch up, eat, watch tv and play games. As others have mentioned there can be some inconvinience around two of the bathrooms. One of them is quite exposed in a back hallway and is only screened off by a curtain. Another space has two bedrooms in it with a shared bathroom between which again has potential for causing social awkwardness. However overall the positives of this location far outweighed the oddities.

Great location, one or two minor issues
This is a lovely property in a great location and easy reach of Stratford, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Coventry, Birmingham and the airport. Unfortunately some of the sheets were marked and musty. The single beds were uncomfortable and you could feel the springs. Open plan loos we’re not appreciated and shower mats would be a safety asset. The back bedroom shelf would be better near the basin and a towel rail would help. While we were there the WiFi kept dropping out. Nevertheless, we had a great time and the above comments are made not as criticisms but as suggestions for improvements that could up our star rating significantly.

A lovely stay
This is a wonderful property and we felt really at home. It was the first time we had all been together since the pandemic. The house has lots of space for a big family. The kitchen is really well equipped with pots pans and everything you need to cook big meals to share.

We had a very nice stay. The grounds were great for the children to explore.
Spacious bedrooms & plenty of bathrooms although open plan! Grounds were great. Buildings close together but didn’t intrude on our space.

Great place, location and owners
Beautiful and spacious home. Huge rooms. Spotlessly clean. In the quiet countryside but just a stone's throw from the motorway. Lots of space and things to occupy the kids. Lovely outdoor patio area. Perfect for a relaxing break. Will definitely visit again.

Ideal for a relaxing holiday
It was super easy to communicate with Sandra, very prompt and helpful. The house is located in a rural location, why we liked most. At the same time, within 10-15 min drive you can have access to all types of shops. All bed rooms have got en suit bath. It would be better to have at least one bedroom with door between bedroom and bathroom. Living room gives you a very cosy feeling. Overall, It was a very pleasant stay with my family and friends.

House is lovely
House is absolutely lovely and fitted 10 of us in perfectly, our fault for not checking it was actually rural , it is a rural location but sharing it in a conference centre environment was a surprise ! Lots of cars and people ! But once the doors were closed and we were all together it was fine, host was great in communication and on site if we needed so all round a good trip

Thanks for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I just want to comment on the bed/bathroom configurations, each bedroom has its own private ensuite, which is located behind a wall in the bedroom, the bathroom/shower area is completely private, but does not have a door closing it off from the bedroom. It is a design feature.

Beautiful country farmhouse
We loved our short stay at your property. Inside and out, absolutely gorgeous! The bedrooms/bathrooms were so roomy and comfortable. We also enjoyed relaxing in the living room at the end of the day. Thank you so much!

Ok
We booked this property for 4 families, 2 couples with 2 children and 2 couples with an under 1. It seems that the house has been designed more for corporate stays as most of the rooms are large and comfortable with their own large tvs and bathrooms (though no doors to the bathrooms, but open plan) but the communal areas are not big enough for one large group to socialise, more suited to small groups keeping to themselves, and the kitchen would not fit all of us round the table. The kitchen itself has equipment but it is a mish mash and the fridge and freezer were far too small for storing food and drinks for a group of our size. One of the bedrooms is off the kitchen and quite cold so not suitable to put children in, nor parents of children as they are too far from the other rooms for children to find them in the night if needed. This meant we could not use the room at all which caused complications. All of these factors together reduced the enjoyment of our stay, though these may not be issues for other types of groups.

Quirky farmhouse with a fairly bizarre setting within a conference centre!
Clean, spacious and comfortable. Good location for exploring the area. Need to appreciate it’s a 16th century property therefore kitchen is small for size of the house and the layout is a little unusual. Ideal for our purposes which was a friends reunion. Had a lovely day in Lemington Spa which is a half hour away. Highly recommed The Village Chippy which we ordered through Just Eat. They sold everything not just fish & chips and when we rang to change the order they couldn’t do enough for us. Plus the food was fantastic! And everyone got what they wanted... pizza, kebab, pie or fish!!

Great long weekend stay for 10 people
This farmhouse is great for an escape for a long weekend with friends. The only problem is make sure you're very close with whoever you're sharing a room with as every bathroom is built on to the bedrooms round a corner rather than having a door...! Apart from that, it was a great location for a country walk, good kitchen space for a large group and large living area for playing board games.
