On a peaceful lane, deep in the heart of Shakespeare country, Kington Grange is a gracious and much-loved home offering a tantalising glimpse of country living. Filled with understated charm and elegance, it’s heaven-sent for family get-togethers and sophisticated gatherings in the beautiful countryside. From the moment you step foot in the impressive reception hall there is an overriding sense of staying somewhere rather special, for this is a house filled with personality. The wealth of living space means room for all to spread out and relax, be it a lazy start to the day with the morning papers in the sunlight-filled garden room, an elegant dress-for-dinner evening in the formal dining room or curling up before the open fire in the drawing room. The upper floors are no less impressive with a plethora of gorgeous bedrooms to choose from. The beautiful gardens, tennis court, natural swimming lake and luxury of a hot tub combine to make this the most wonderful of country escapes.

*Please make yourself aware of the additional notes regarding use of the hot tub below.

Kington Grange is a stunning property, full of character with everything you need for lovely break. We stayed as a group of 14 (8 adults and 6 kids) and the 7 bedroom property easily accommodated us. All of the bedrooms are warm and beautifully appointed and the beds are clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can think of and the flagstone floor has underfloor heating. The swimming lake and hot tub are fabulous. The lake is crystal clear and is easy to access. Definitely worth a dip - even in November! Susan and Phil are the perfect hosts who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. 5 star recommendation for Kington Grange! We wanted to get together to celebrate my mothers 80th birthday and we had a weekend we will never forget. Thanks Susan and Phil

We had booked Kington Grange for a family reunion to celebrate 3 birthdays within the group. The family consisted of 8 adults and 4 children aged 12, 11,8 and 5. On arrival we had a warm welcome from Susan. She introduced us to the big house, with its many rooms, but we soon got our bearings. The house offers so much more than the pictures on the website. It is warm and homely with many interesting features, some of which are very modern, some antique and some in between. We loved the kitchen and the large dining area adjacent. However, you could do more formal dining in the actual dining room, if you so wished.
The bedrooms were clean with fresh bedlinen, very comfortable, all but 1 with ensuite bathrooms. The family made good use of the tennis court and the hot tub was also enjoyed by all. No one in our group were brave enough to take a dip in the lake.
We were very impressed by Kington Grange and had a lovely time there. Susan and Phil were excellent hosts. Can highly recommend Kington Grange.

Wonderful house and location. We had a mix of 9 adults and 8 children ranging from 1 to 10 years. The house worked so well for us with the open plan kitchen, orangery and snug. We had great fun playing in the lake, hot tub and tennis court. We had a family meal cooked for us in the event barn on one evening. This was so special and so chilled as we only had to wonder across the path, definitely recommend doing this. Thank you Susan & Phil for looking after us so well.
We hope to come back for future celebrations.

Kington Grange is a C16 large house with many later modification. It easily accommodated our family of 12 adults, two children and two babies. The house is very well equipped. Everyone commented on the comfortable beds. We paid the small supplement for the hot tub, which was well worth it. But the unique highlight is the lake. It's wonderful, beautifully clean and a joy to swim in. We saw both newts and a swimming grass snake. Our children also loved the boat and paddle boards. The tennis court is in good condition with an artificial surface.

Susan and Phil (the owners) live on site and are there to help with any issues. Perhaps the vacuum cleaner shouldn't be hidden in a cupboard marked "private". This made us feel a bit guilty about using it.

Kington Grange was an idyllic setting for our multi generational family break.

Every room was so comfortable and luxurious in this historic and beautifully-decorated house. Dinner in the amazing panelled dining room was a particular highlight.

The garden is delicious, with happy hours spent in the hot tub and messing about on and in the pond.

We also enjoyed visits to Stratford and Warwick Castle.

Our hosts were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

My family and my brother's family rented Kington Grange for a family weekend to celebrate my birthday. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful and interesting house. The bedroom accommodation and bathrooms were excellent and provided a range of different rooms to suit all members of the family. The kitchen and living rooms on the ground floor gave us lots of space to either sit together or break off in to smaller groups. the kitchen and dining room were well equipped. the garden with its tennis court, hot tub and fresh water lake kept the family entertained for the whole weekend.
As a surprise celebration, on the evening of my birthday, the family had hired the Barn and a chef and we were able to party without the inconvenience of travelling into town.
Our hosts Susan and Philip were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay.
I would certainly recommend this property for a large group gathering.

Kington Grange is a very interesting house in a great location.
We had a great long weekend, 12 adults away for a 60th birthday. The owners Susan and Phil were very helpful and on
hand for any questions. They do live in the house when it is not rented which is evident with many personal bits and pieces
around. The house was warm with plenty of hot water, the beds were all comfortable, the orangery just off the kitchen was a
lovely bright place for meals.
Cooking for 12 was a bit tricky with the electric Aga and a small multi cooker and oven, however all was well and
we managed to produce some nice meals. The small toaster and one cafetière was not really adequate for catering for
12 at breakfast but on the whole the kitchen was well equipped, with plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses etc.

A few of our party were brave enough to use the swimming lake and we had good use of the tennis court too.
We also did a couple of great walks straight from the house.

A good time was had by all.

We stayed at Kington Grange as a group of couples and young families meeting from all over the country. We are a group of friends who met at university, and every year we get together to celebrate our “Friendmas”. Over the years our group has grown to 14 adults and includes dogs, 2 babies, and 2 toddlers, which has made it increasingly difficult to find a venue to suit all of our needs. Kington Grange ticked every box and more!

The Midlands location was perfect for travelling from all over the country, and there was plenty of space for our cars on the property. We booked online which was very straightforward, and had regular friendly communication from the owners Susan and Phil.

On arrival Phil gave us a great tour of the house and explained where to find key things. We learned that the house is their home, which explains how the house is so beautifully and vibrantly decorated in a way only someone who lives in and loves a home can do. Whilst we were there Susan and Phil stayed in another building on the property so they were always close by if we needed anything. In the past I’ve had awkward experiences of staying in places with the owners near by, but Susan and Phil were so welcoming, it felt like staying with firm family friends.

One important thing for us is being able to get a big food delivery when we arrive. We found that the Sainsburys in Warwick serves the house which was perfect for us so we didn’t have to pack food.

Often staying in big groups means someone gets stuck with the rubbish room, but every room here was gorgeous; it felt like staying in a boutique hotel, and everyone was happy with their lot. The highlight for us was the large kitchen attached to a gorgeous breakfast room and with a snug off the side. This large space is all open and connected, but each part is clearly zoned by function, which was perfect for having a big group and small children. We could have some people cooking in the kitchen, others sat with a drink at the dining table, and the children playing in the snug, enjoying being together without being cramped or overcrowded. And it meant we could be making dinner with one eye/ear on the children at all times instead of them being out in another room. I would say as there is a step down from the dining area to the kitchen to keep a close eye on smaller/less steady walkers, but we didn’t have any accidents and the kids quickly learnt. As well as this excellent social space, there was a second formal dining room, a lounge, and a beautiful sun room to enjoy if you wanted to break off somewhere more quiet. We hold a book club and it was so nice to sit together in the sun room and enjoy the views as we chatted.

The surrounding gardens were beautiful, with lovely views across the fields beyond. The children enjoyed running around the tennis court after tennis balls, and were thrilled to chat to the pair of geese. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the lake (though we saw some very enthusiastic wild swimmers having a fab time even in December!) but we did make use of the lovely hot tub.

From start to finish we were all delighted by Kington Grange. I had many pats on the back from our group, and they can be a discerning bunch! I couldn’t praise it enough, and would happily return and recommend it to any big group like ours. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. Fifteen of us (aged 13 to 86) were able to get together for a week and we all loved the venue - a real home from home. We were made to feel very welcome by the lovely owners Susan and Phil who were really friendly and helpful.
Playing tennis and swimming in the lake were enjoyed by a number of us and heating up in the hot tub afterwards was especially welcomed.
There were plenty of places to sit and enjoy quiet time as well as having the opportunity to eat together or play games in either the orangery or in the dining room.
Lovely views from most of the rooms and especially lovely from the garden room as the sun rose or set across the lake.
This is a beautiful area of the country to explore. It is close to a number of interesting towns as well as National Trust houses and lovely country walks - a really good mix of things to do.
All in all a holiday to remember in a superb setting! As far as our family was concerned a great time of love and laughter.

We had a fantastic time at Kington Grange for a hen weekend. Susan and Phil were on hand throughout to let us know how everything worked and were really helpful when we had any questions. The house itself was full of character and the beds super comfortable. All the guests commented on how amazing the property was and there was plenty of space for everyone which was ideal as the weather wasn't great. We also booked The Loft which was a lovely communal space to use for our activities and meals.

Kington Grange is a very beautiful property and was a lovely setting for a large family gathering. Our grandchildren loved playing in the garden and with the table football game. We were disappointed not to be able to use the swimming lake (we were told the fresh water feed pipe was not working and that the boat was missing its bung) and we thought the oven was quite small for a group of 15 people and not very easy to use. One of the fridges didn't work which we didn't realise straightaway so we had to move food around once we did. Minor things: we could have done with some tea towels and cooking foil and a working tin opener.
We were made to feel very welcome in this beautiful house and garden.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Kington Grange. We are very glad to hear that you all enjoyed your stay however disappointed to read your feedback regarding not being able to use the swimming lake. We have spoken to the owners who apologise for the miscommunication they have confirmed that groundworks were taking place by the lake however the lake was still operational. The boat is available on request. It has also been confirmed that the fridges are all working and your points have been taken onboard and will be looked into. We hope to see you again in the future.

The hosts were wonderful - there to see us arrive and could not have been more helpful, before during and after the stay. The Property is a great space, a real sense of character but with each space feeling distinctive and for the 12 of us we never felt cramped or on top of each other. I really hope we will stay there again in the future, in the meantime we have memories of a wonderful Christmas which was enhanced significantly by the venue which had everything we needed to make the most of the time. I can't recommend it highly enough.

We stayed at Kington grange in order to have our group of employees (who were all flying in from different places) staying together, using our time during and before conferences at the NEC to socialise, team build and relax after some long days in Birmingham. The team absolutely loved the experience of staying at Kington grange and the location, property and friendly owners were the perfect backdrop and inspiration for a brilliant few days of business events. From the moment I made the booking, Susan was super helpful - offering us various extras and really going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. We will be returning again and can 100% recommend a stay at Kington Grange. Thank you Susan and Phil!

We’ve been waiting to have a huge family trip since, well, forever and I am so pleased that it happened at Kington Grange!

The whole run up to the trip and contact with Phil and Susan was great, they helped cater to our every need.

My family knew they were in for a treat after seeing the stunning photos online, but my god were we blown away in person.

Every room of the house and barn had its own theme and character. There was an area for everyone, of all ages, to relax and have fun. Space for chill time but to also be together as a group of 20 and not feel suffocated.

It was great fun to play tennis and make the most of the wild swimming lake, but also sit inside and play board games around the fire.

It was just incredible and we can’t fault it. We are already planning when we can come back! It’s perfectly located and was only a couple hours drive for the many of us that live in London, Manchester, Cardiff and North Wales.
