The Leat

We had a very enjoyable week made the more special by the beautiful setting of the Leat and all the wildlife on view from the patio.

The procurement of a shower seat was much appreciated, also the provision of a fan. However we were glad we had taken two additional fans in view of the excessive heat. Instructions, by way of a brochure, as to how to operate the cooker would have been appreciated, although Natalie helped.

This cottage was a great find, absolutely ideal for our visit to the ABR Festival at Ragley Hall.

Natalie was SO helpful, responding to all my questions very quickly. The facilities were great - large fridge freezer, (which was necessary for the hottest week of the year) oven, washing machine, the kitchen was well equipped, decent knives (which are often missing in other holiday homes). Plenty of parking too.

A nice property in a very quiet rural location.

Well placed to visit many places in the south west of the Midlands. The kitchen/living area is large and comfortable, the bedrooms are a good size and the shower rooms convenient. The patio area has a great outlook over the pond, but is overshadowed by trees. The WiFi and internet connection are good. Both shower rooms lacked any place to hold items like shampoo within the shower itself. The TV was tricky to place correctly for viewing.

Idyllic The location, the property, the vista and the hosting are simply fabulous.

The Leat was in a quiet location overlooking a pond with plenty for us to do in the surrounding area.

Everything seemed to be high quality and clean, with good beds, showers, storage space, lighting, seating, WiFi, smart TV and heating. Owner was helpful but not intrusive. We were only there for a weekend but would happily have stayed longer so may well be back.

We had a wonderful stay at The Leat.

The setting is so peaceful I could have easily not moved from the sofa all week. The cottage is beautifully presented, warm and comfortable. We will be back!

What a wonderful place to stay.

It was in beautiful location, peaceful, immaculately clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen. We hope to stay again next time we are in the area

All great.

Nice quiet position and within a reach of everywhere we wanted to go on the break. Every facility we needed for our stay.

This is a hidden gem - the location, setup, facilities, and overall quality are superb - a lovely place, everything thought of, very welcoming, all brilliant for our weekend away.

Thank you!!!

We cannot speak highly enough of the accommodation and the owners.

As soon as you walk into the property you have a great view of the lake. Would we come again? Definitely.

Just back from a return visit to The Leat.

Fantastic accommodation in a wonderful location, perfect for a relaxing break. Sitting out and enjoying all the sights and sounds of wildlife was heaven. This was our third visit and will be back again I'm sure. Close to Stratford and Evesham for days out and would also recommend Hanbury Hall (NT).

We had a fabulous stay at The Leat and look forward to returning!

The accommodation was excellent - clean, comfortable, stylish and with plenty of storage. The view of the mill pond from the front rooms was lovely, and it was a perfect spot to sit and watch the birdlife. Natalie was so helpful, even sourcing a shower stool for me to use due to my limited mobility, which was very much appreciated, as was the help navigating our way back during the wild storm! Many thanks!

Fantastic property.

We found it perfect for two couples. Comfortable and well equipped. Good view of the pond and the bird life. Great communication from Natalie.

Everything generally perfect.

Location and view from property fantastic. So peaceful. Accommodation very homely and individual. A couple of minor details. Torch provided did not work. Lighter provided for barbecue did not work so maybe a little extra care by housekeeping. Otherwise everything excellent, we would stay there again.

Very welcoming, helpful hostess.

Thoroughly recommended. Natalie and Max have given a lot of thought and attention to both the barn conversion and local landscape. Immaculate, attractive and extremely well-fitted out accommodation. The setting is simply beautiful with a view of a small lake surrounded by trees and flowers which attract many varieties of birds- binoculars provided! (It would be a bonus to have some access to the lake if this could be achieved without trespassing on the family's privacy.)

Lovely accommodation with a beautiful view over the pond.

It was great to watch the wildlife - the ducks and geese as well as the birds. Sadly didn’t see the kingfisher or otter. The Leat was a great spot to explore the countryside and National Trust places nearby and to visit the Malvern Spring Show. Natalie was very friendly and helpful with any questions/comments we raised.

Well equipped, comfortable and in an ideal position to explore the local National trust properties/Stratford-on-Avon etc.

Stayed here while working away from home and genuinely looked forward to finished my shift to get back, it’s so peaceful and beautifully furnished with a top quality shower and bed with is top of any contractors list after a hard day.

Would definitely stay again either for work or pleasure.

Our second visit to the Leat and it was as good as ever.

A lovely spot to forget about the world and relax. Peaceful and tranquil, just the birds to listen to. A lovely lodge to say in, made even better as other family members booked next door to make it a big family holiday. Hanbury Hall, Warwick Castle and Stratford upon Avon all worth a visit.

Nice location looking at the pond but the showers were luke warm, and the owners dogs used the grass in front of the pond as a toilet.

Perfect holiday accommodation.

The view from the living area is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the birds. Lots of thoughtful touches in the house e.g. binoculars to watch the birds. Good communication from the owners who were very helpful and quick to respond to any queries.

lovely place, peaceful location yet well positioned to visit local attractions.

Natalie is a lovely host, when i had to contact her regarding a medical problem she was on hand immediately. Would definitely love to return again.

We booked a very last minute break and were delighted when we found The Leat.

The place was perfect.,it had all that we needed and more,It was spotlessly clean and the beds too was so comfy. The setting was idyllic and so tranquil, Natallie is also the perfect host and was helpful when i messaged her .I would definitely recommend this place.

This holiday site was outstanding We had the most peaceful holiday in beautiful countryside amongst the most wonderful wildlife.

We had everything we needed and the interior decor was top quality, no expense had been spared to provide the very best in fitments and interior design.

Lovely stay, cottage exceptional, all high quality furnishings, I think fans for the bedrooms would be a good idea as quite hot especially the bedroom with no window, I would stay again so that to me says it all.

The Leat was a lovely place to stay in and being set next to the pond we found it to be very peaceful and relaxing.

The accommodation itself was very clean and warm and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the welcome pack of scones, jam and cream which went down a treat. Thank you.

We had a wonderful couple of days at The Leat over Easter.

It was well positioned for days out and an idyllic spot to unwind. The setting, looking over the pond, was wonderful. We enjoyed the wildlife and got a visit from the very friendly dogs. (They’re the other side of the fence if you’re not a dog person.) Just what we needed. The interior finish was high quality, it was clean and well appointed. We’d definitely return.

The Leat exceeded our expectations.

The view from the lounge over the mill pond is lovely. We saw a buzzard, ducks, moorhens, a pair of Canada geese and a heron, not to mention plenty of small birds including a grey wagtail. There were feeders to encourage the birds. Lovely to sit on the deck and listen to the birdsong. The accomodation was thoughtfully laid out and the fittings high quality. We loved the comfortable beds and the large showers!

Nice place to stay, very clean and luxuriously.

Hello !

my friend and I had a lovely restful stay at The Leat ,it was so peaceful and the birds and squirrels a delight ! We had great entertainment when the moorhen and the squirrel had a quarrel ! The Leat is furnished to a very high standard, and extremely comfortable. Beds are great too. Thank you Natalie for a great stay. Pamela and Lesley.

Super, well-presented holiday home with an amazing aspect.

Lovely welcome pack was a nice touch. Would highly recommend. In fact, so much so, that we've booked to stay again...

Excellent accommodation, Highly recommended and everything you could ever want in holiday accommodation.

We have just returned from a short break staying in The Leat cottage.

The cottage was beautifully built with all of the modern facilities in a lovely location. 10/10 for us although the only two things we would change is softer pillows and some sort of sound proofing as we could hear the people next door very clearly. We would certainly visit the cottage again and I hope there is plans for a hot tub, plenty of room on the decking ;).

A tranquil setting for this modern, superbly equipped accomodation.

The beds were very comfortable and the cotton bedding made for a great night's sleep. The views of the millpond gave constant entertainment, the birds, ducks and the heron make a natural show ! As there is an identical property adjoining there are occasionally "noises off" as you would expect but nothing too obtrusive. There was enough in the way of restaurants , pubs and towns within a few miles drive through the Worcestershire country side to fill our days. If you are wanting a quiet and peaceful time in a beautiful part of the English country side the Leat is perfect.

We had a great week at this lovely property, with family in the adjoining barn.

It was very clean and had everything we needed. It is in a beautiful spot overlooking the pond, and the children loved seeing the ducks, sheep and dogs! A good location for exploring various local towns.

Very clean property with a high standard of finish, set in a beautiful location, easy access to numerous attractions in the area.

Would definitely think about returning for another holiday

Property needs lighter bedding for summer months, only a 10.

5 tog winter duvet was provided, which was far too hot for August. Was unclear if residents were able to use outdoor space adjacent to pond, if so would be useful if that area was mown. Great property otherwise, lovely quiet area.

A superb property.

This property exceeded all are expectations in every aspect . The location and setting was so peaceful and tranquil.we would definitely return and highly recommend the leat to family and friends.

A fantastic cottage in a stunning location.

The Leat was spotlessly clean, Modern accommodation, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday set in Peaceful and idyllic surroundings.

.Highly recommend....Would definitely go again !

Great holiday in a lovely spot , would certainly go again

We had a very enjoyable stay and the owner, Natalie, was very helpful on arrival when we had a problem connecting to the WiFi.

The Leat was clean, modern and well equipped. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated, thank you. The bedding was lovely and gave the beds a hotel feel! The Leat was listed as pet free but my husband experienced an allergic reaction as if there had been pets/pet owners in the property. We also noticed that the adjoining property had 2 dogs staying despite also being listed as pet free. The King bedroom was adjoined to the the other property. Unfortunately for us, our neighbours enjoyed a 6:30/7:00am start each morning and we could hear their voices and movements which was unfortunate as the Leat is in a beautiful remote location and we hoped for a little more peace in the mornings.

We had an excellant stay at The Leat.

The lodge was overlooking the mill pond. Everything was absolutey beautiful, well equiped to the highest standard. The added touch of milk, bread, butter and jam were a very welcoming touch to start our break here. Thanks also to the cleaning staff, we felt very safe when we arrived during Covid 19, everything was spotless.

With grateful thanks to the owners everything was perfect, even the welcome pack of bread,eggs, butter was very much appreciated.

A lovely cottage in a lovely setting.

A very enjoyable holiday The Leat, it is well equipped and has beautiful decor.

It is in ideal setting to explore and offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

Everything about it was first class we wanted a place that was away from it all and that’s exactly what we got.

Fantastic facilities I.e. Netflix, film channels,en-suite bedrooms, in fact everything you could possibly need. Nice view when you looked out on a morning. The owners were in the big house next door but they never bothered us unless you needed them. All in all I couldn’t fault the place.

We had a great holiday in a brand new lodge and were made to feel very welcome by the owners.

In a lovely area which we have not really explored before, it's a walkers paradise. Easy access by car to Worcester, Warwick, Stratford upon Avon and The Malvern Hills. Everything we needed and more. The accommodation is beautiful, would definitely recommend this hidden gem. A lovely place to get away from it all and relax, so pleased we found it. Thank you.
