My wife and I stayed at Ridgeway Farmhouse with adult children and young grandchildren. It is very well located and easy to find. Close to Alcester, good pubs and a great Farm Shop (Hilliers). Lovely views to the east, overlooking the valley down to Ragley Hall. Large grassy garden area which was ideal for our granddaughter to play, kick a ball, etc. Very comfortable inside and flooded with natural light through big glass windows and patio doors.
We would definitely recommend a stay here.

The house is much nicer inside than it first appears .
6 adults and 2 small children 3yrs and 18mths the space was excellent.
All the rooms were lovely and to a good spec especially the bedrooms .
The round table was great for us all to eat together .
Maybe a second fridge in the utility and a downstairs shower off the loo would further add to the stay .Cot sheet for little one or a reminder to bring one .
The outside space was great hot tub really easy to light and stayed warm .
A few flowers maybe and the bottom hedge removing to enjoy the view even more but made no significant difference. We loved our stay ❤️
No access to the estate for a walk in the evening but guess that is not anything you can help .

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Ridgeway Farmhouse and this is our 2nd stay. The view is stunning and the decoration within the house is lovely, making our stay very comfortable.

Pros
Great location
Wonderful view
Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and excellent feeling of space both inside and outside the property
Hot tub is great but it does take a few goes to work out just how many logs it requires to find the right temperature of the water
Perfect for a multigenerational family gathering given the scale and space

Cons
The hedge needs a good trim, when you are sitting on the terrace or at the outside dining area the view is badly obstructed by the hedge, this was the same when we came last time
The outside of the house looks tired, with the balcony area looking particularly rustic

We loved our first stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our second stay and will be back again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Ridgeway Farmhouse on Ragley Estate. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the farmhouse and its beautiful surroundings. Thank you also for your comments regarding the hedge. We have been advised by the Property Manager that the hedge was last cut in February. However, due to nesting season regulations, hedge cutting is not permitted until July. We appreciate your understanding and very much hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds in the future.

What a gem!

We enjoyed our stay at Ridgeway farmhouse that much we booked to go back before we even left! The kitchen is so well equipped, we easily cooked full English breakfasts and a Sunday roast. Plenty of space for everyone and the beds were so comfortable with lovely bedding. We can’t wait to return next May! 10/10!

We had an amazing stay at Ridgeway Farmhouse! It was the perfect spot for our family get-together — our son came over from the USA with his fiancée from Bournemouth our daughter and her fiancé and grandson travelling from Lancashire, and we flew in from Ireland, so it was a great central location for us all.

We were celebrating two engagements and two birthdays, and the house was ideal. It’s not the prettiest from the outside, but inside it’s lovely — really comfortable beds, plenty of space, great social areas, and gorgeous views.

The wood-fired hot tub was a big hit and warmed up much quicker than we expected! Alison, the housekeeper, was super helpful and very friendly when we called. We also really appreciated the lovely welcome of cake and wine — such a nice touch.

The only small downside was having to bring our own towels for the hot tub (it’s mentioned in the listing), which is a bit tricky when you’re flying. But honestly, that’s the only thing we could fault.

Overall, we absolutely loved Ridgeway Farmhouse and would definitely recommend it. A brilliant place for a family celebration!

We had a gorgeous 3-night stay at the Ridgeway Farmhouse in September. The house is spacious, well-equipped and beautifully furnished with lovely views over open countryside to Ragley Hall. With plenty of parking, a well-maintained property and the arrival pack was very welcome. An excellent stay.
Not sure I would bother with the hot tub again, as it’s tricky to light and manage the temperature.

We’ve spoken to the housekeeper regarding your comments about the hot tub and understand that you were in touch with them to ask where the lighter was kept. They mentioned that they would have been very happy to assist you with lighting it and adjusting the temperature had they known you were experiencing any difficulties. We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.

Lovely property in a great spot for a group.

This property was ideal for a group stay and had everything we needed.
The interior is far superior to the exterior and the views from the back and three of the bedrooms is wonderful.
We attended an event at Ragley Hall and were able to walk back to the property within 45 minutes which was ideal.

We loved staying at ridgeway farmhouse for a family reunion wk end
The property was clean warm and welcoming . We loved the large round dining table and the spacious sitting room with woodburner and wonderful views across open countryside. The bedrooms were also stylishly and tastefully decorated with lovely cotton bedding and we felt the house had a restful calm feel about it.
The responsiveness of the host was excellent when we had a query. The short drive to Stratford on Avon was straightforward. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We would definately consider returning.

The overall experience is excellent. My feedbaxk would be that the house is quite tired particularly outside with patio cracked and slabs dangerous to walk on. Also the house was full of flies continually through our stay. The cleaners on arrival said there was a problem and felt that I’d this is ongoing there should be thjngs in place to eradicate or control this. Understand near a darn bit it was persistent with continual flies all the time particularly in kitxhen. Bedding was excellent and towels etc. supplies were good too ir toilet rolls cleaning facilities etc. would stay again but do feel owners need to upgrade certain areas particularly for safety.

Our stay at ridgeway was absolutely perfect, the lodge was clean, beautiful and there were some really nice special touches that made our wedding weekend exist that little bit nicer. We made use of the hot tub and bbq, and Alison was perfect at communicating what we needed to do. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay, and the coffee and walnut cake was to die for! Thankyou to all the staff at bootable retreats for our lovely stay.

Ridgeway Farmhouse is not only beautifully furnished, immaculately clean and on a generous scale, but it also boasts one of the finest views imaginable: Think a vista of pastoral surroundings overlooking the sweep of a richly wooded estate in the middle distance and a glimpse of fading hillside landscape stretching far beyond. Nothing of all this timeless splendour, visible from nearly every window and deliciously embracing the garden, hints at the fact that you are not in the remote seclusion of some backwater but acually ideally located for several of the most appealing cultural venues in the country: Stratford-upon-Avon with it's sublime theatrical enterprises by the Royal Shakespeare Company is in the immediate vicinity, and the heritage sites of some of the greatest Cathedrals are easy to reach too, not to mention Oxford, or even London - both swiftly accessible on the Great Western Railway from nearby Evesham. But the delightful market town of Alcester, the gorgeous villages, excellent pubs and rural walks immediately on the doorstep vie for a visitor's attention just as much. Returning then, to the relaxation of the garden, the well equipped kitchen and the hot-tub at the serenity of Ridgeway Farm is a true delight. We were wonderfully looked after by Alison Vaughan and her team and can find no other words of recommendation than an all-encompassing "Thank-you!" and an earnest aspiration to return to a holiday-home that deserves that epithet in an almost unparalleled fashion.
Amazing!

We had a cracking time at Ridgeway as a family. The property was really nice with excellent views and facilities for adults and kids alike. The communication with the management was excellent as well, and a home made cake and wine waiting for us when we arrived was nice touch. The only downside was that the property has no gate to the drive at the front, meaning if you have a dog that likes "explore" you need to keep it on a lead as the garden wraps around to the front with no separation. Not sure if it's just in the process of being replaced but with a fast road and working farm outside meant we couldn't fully relax with the dog off the lead. Bit of a shame as it's an amazing garden space. All in all though a great place and great value for money.

My husband and I had a wonderful long bank holiday weekend for Easter at Ridgeway Farmhouse. We had our gorgeous granddaughter and our fur baby with us.

The farmhouse is absolutely spectacular with the most wonderful views we’ve ever seen. The house had everything you need and we really enjoyed the cake and wine that was left for us on arrival.

We would highly recommend this fantastic home and hope we can return again very soon.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I booked this property for my 30th with a few friends and we had the best stay here! The location was great for the weekend, nice walks and not far from the town centre Alcester. The house was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable for all 8 of us. It felt very private and a great location - We loved the view in the morning it was beautiful! Parking was easy for all 8 of us and the hot tub was great! The host was very responsive and gave great recommendations also. Thank you for a brilliant stay!

Ridgeway Farm is a large property with beautiful views. However the latter part of our holiday was spoilt by a large festival held on the Ragley Estate. We were not told about this on booking so were surprised when a stream of cars arrived down the side of the garden. Pollution and noise increased, our privacy was intruded on and the view was spoilt by tents, caravans and cars. Do your research before booking if you are looking for a peaceful holiday!
Alison, the housekeeper was very responsive but we had far too many issues for a one week holiday. The blind fell down repeatedly in one of the bedrooms and we had to leave it closed because it couldn’t be fixed. One of the sinks was blocked on arrival - if this sink had been cleaned then I would have expected them to know about this before we arrived. There was also a strong chemical smell from the toilet downstairs. We were told this was the oil boiler. This is right next to the dining room so quite unpleasant. The main bedroom was very comfortable but the other beds were very soft mattresses and the other adult in our party found it uncomfortable. Ok for children.
If you are looking for local walks from the door, this was difficult and there was no information provided on where you could walk. When we walked around the Ragley Estate we were told this wasn’t allowed but Alison was unsure where we could walk. The road at the front of the house is 50mph and doesn’t feel safe to walk on but there is a gate out the back to the Ragley Fields so it is very confusing where you can walk.
Facilities within the house were great and it is well stocked with everything you could need. Unfortunately the internet went down just as we arrived and although they provided a back up it was very slow and unreliable for the duration of our stay. Looking up areas we could drive to for a local walk was very painful especially once the festival arrived and phone signal was rubbish too.
In summary, we wouldn’t return to Ridgeway Farm but the area is beautiful and the views are as stunning as they look in the photos.

We found this house to have everything we needed for a fabulous weekend with friends. The attention to detail is fantastic and it seemed that every decision the owners have made has been well thought through.
There were 8 adults and lots of space for us to enjoy a social weekend. The BBQ and outdoor facilities were great and the hot tub is an added bonus.
The views from the property are absolutely stunning and 3 out of the 4 bedrooms have this view.
The exterior of the building doesn't quite match with the fabulous interior and facilities and views at the back of the property.
The service we received was outstanding, particularly when we had a query and an emailed response was very quick.
Certainly recommend a stay at this property,

An excellent base which catered for a family group of 7. Home well equipped with everything you needed and more! A quiet and peaceful setting to enjoy.
The home was clean throughout and well furnished including a few board games to play whilst waiting for the weather to decide what it was doing!
Accommodation contacted us a few days before with any extra details we needed to know and the bottle of wine & cake on an arrival were a welcome suprise too!
A very enjoyable stay & would definitely stay again!

We booked a weekend retreat with some friends and we have had an awesome time. The house that we went to and rented for the weekend was brilliant very big and spacious and also had a bonus wood burner, hot tub which was great although it was therefore difficult to manage the temperature. Overall we had an amazing experience and I would recommend to any of my other friends.
