Hilltop House Reviews

We ALL LOVED our weekend stay in Hilltop House and gardens. It has so much character, history, comfort and plenty room for 19 people to spread out and come together. The many staircases were a constant fascination. The DIRECTIONS to the house from Tenbury Wells should be COMPLETELY DELETED due to the ongoing ROAD CLOSURE NORTH of the house and NO prospect of a solution. That route is a nightmareimpossible! It should be STRESSED that the house can ONLY be ACCESSED coming from the South East on B4204. The weekend stay at Hilltop House gave us all a very special time, thank you.
Cathryn
Absolutely beautiful house, so much bigger than we expected. Great rooms downstairs for our family get together , well equipped kitchen and lovely dining room. All the bedrooms were huge with comfy beds. Due to the many staircases and size of the house we spent a lot of time trying to find each other and our bedrooms! The weather wasnt good for us so only 1 person tried the pool, for a very brief moment ! Again the pool was larger than we thought. The games room really helped keep the lads occupied in the bad weather. Love this house would highly recommend.
Victoria
Lovely house, great host, fab time had by our group!
Tricia
We had a wonderful week staying at the house. The property itself is beautiful, with stunning grounds and a very grand, impressive house. It was a lovely place to spend time with family and friends, and we really appreciated the setting and atmosphere. That said, there are a few areas where we feel some investment would make a significant difference to future guests experience. Firstly, the kitchen could be better equipped for the number of guests the property accommodates. There were not enough serving dishes, which made preparing and serving meals for a larger group more difficult than it needed to be. Secondly, some of the cleaning equipment is in need of replacement. The dustpan and brush were in very poor condition, and the broom was no better. These are relatively small items, but they do make a difference when guests are staying for a week and need to keep the house tidy. Finally, the internet connection was extremely unreliable. Unfortunately, I had to work remotely for one day during our stay, and the connection dropped eight times in less than half an hour. In the end, I was unable to deliver an important presentation. For a property of this standard, a dependable WiFi connection is something many guests will expect. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend the property based on its beauty, character, and location. However, addressing these practical issues would bring the overall experience in line with the high standard that the house itself sets.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with helpful and welcoming host. Lovely big house with plenty of room and a large well maintained garden. Kitchen fully stocked with plenty of glasses and crockery for a house this size. Great location with stunning countryside views from every direction but close enough to restaurants and takeaways. Definitely recommend.
Stuart
Hilltop House is a great venue for large groups. Spacious yet cosy, and very well equipped.
It was a privilege to stay at Hilltop House, a beautiful property in wonderful countryside, We were made most welcome and enjoyed our stay. Thank you from Janet Breese and the Potter family.
Hilltop House is a lovely place to stay with family. Very quiet and picturesque. Our weather made it perfect. The owners were very helpful. Would love to stay again.
Christine
Amazing house with stunning views as per photos. Super clean with all you could want in the kitchen etc. Michelle was very helpful in providing local information and brilliant location for countryside walks. Hot tub nice addition. Some issues with heating and plumbing during our stay meaning a couple of the rooms were cold. Overall would recommend
Alison
Hilltop House was the perfect house for the birthday celebrations for our group of 16 family and friends. The house is gorgeous, beautifully well kept and full of character, and ideal for big groups where people can do their own thing or come together. The surrounding areas are stunning, and the owner Michelle was very helpful too. Wed love to visit again.

Catherine
This beautiful house is an outstanding group accommodation. It has everything you would need and more. The bedrooms all feel very luxurious and the lounges are lovely and comfortable. The outdoor games room was a winner for our family. All in all, I could not recommend this more highly.
Howard
A great house for a group of our size. Spacious, well equipped and a beautiful setting. Would highly recommend it. The owners were extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with when more info was needed. The house was clean and well presented
We had a wonderful week at Hilltop House celebrating a big birthday. The house was perfect for our group of families, with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was fantastic, and the layout and bedrooms wonderful. The children had a great time exploring! On a practical level, two dishwashers and fridges were ideal. The gardens are beautiful and swimming pool an amazing addition during the heatwave. Nearby Tenbury Wells is a lovely town and Hereford and the Malverns were great days out. Thank you!
Lynsey
We all loved our stay at Hilltop house So much that we are already looking at availability to come back! Michelle was incredibly helpful, always contactable, and really accommodating also. The house is in a wonderful location, really well kept, and suitable for all ages with rooms across all floors for accessibility. The kitchen is a lovely space, with more utensils, plates, jugs, glasses etc that you'll ever need! The outdoor area is beautiful, however the one downside was no sun loungers. We did speak to Michelle about this and she gave feedback which we understood. However it would have been nice to be able to lounge poolside in the heat. The sun set from just in front of the property, in appropriate months is the nicest sun set I've ever seen, and definitely one I want to see again! Overall immensely happy with out stay, and will 100 be returning!
The house was everything we hoped it would be. The owners were on hand and helpful, but not intrusive. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch. We loved all the antique furniture and pictures, and we especially loved the thoughtfulness of leaving candles in the beautiful candlesticks, so that we had a candlelit supper every night. We also loved eating lunch on the terrace every day, and the gardens were outstanding. We had four small children with us, and the house was perfect for them, especially the playroom. They had so much space to ride their bikes and scooters in the garden! The house was very well appointed with plenty of equipment in the kitchen. There was plenty to do in the area and we appreciated being in the countryside but not too far from town. Our favourite activities were Berrington Hall and painting pottery at Pitter Potter in Tenbury Wells. This was our 10th Sykes Holiday and we all agreed that it was up there with the best.
Judith
Lovely comfortable house. Plenty of room for 16 of us, option to have some rooms as twins was essential for our party. Large table in dining room so we could all seat together and plenty of room in the lounges. Upstairs lay out is a bit confusing with lots of little staircases but children would love it.
We are 12 friends who shared a wonderful November weekend at Hilltop House. There was plenty of space for us all to relax, a wellstocked kitchen that had everything we needed, and we thoroughly enjoyed our restful stay. The owner and family were on hand for any questions and made us feel most welcome.
Hill top house was the perfect accommodation. Spacious, warm, very well equipped in a beautiful location. Michelle was a great host & super helpful. We couldnt have asked for a better weekend.
Stephanie
We had a great stay at Hilltop house. It is so spacious and well equipped. Everyone enjoyed themselves whether in the house and garden or the surrounding area. Welcome basket was a lovely surprise. Thank you.
Samantha
Hilltop House was even better in reality than portrayed in photos, the family all said! Fantastic venue with all the comforts to make for a great party of 20 family members ranging from 1 85 years old! The grounds and views were stunning having the games room, childrens playroom and hot tub covered everything for all ages
Philip
Lovely big old property with massive rooms connected by corridors and stairs going everywhere. Easy to get lost when you first arrived but all part of the attraction. The 5 kids with us were very unsure at first but then it became the best place in the word to play hide and seek!
Daniel
Beautiful home and we had a great time. Lovely hosts attentive to any questions or concerns.
We had an amazing stay. The house had everything we could have wanted for our friends week away. There was plenty of space for the children to play outside and the comforts of the house suited our large party very well. Everything was as advertised on the website and the house, although old, was clean and well kept. Wed love to return for another holiday!
Stephen
What a spectacular house in a beautiful setting. We had wonderful time and Michelle and Roger were perfect hosts. Thank you
Fabulous week at Hill Top House. Beautiful house and gardens with stunning views. Plenty of kitchen utensils, plates and glasses and great to have two large fridges and two dishwashers! Loved the dinning room that could seat 20 people! Owners Michelle and Roger were great hosts and very responsive to our needs and requests. The pool and hot tub were great additions. Plenty of space for all the family.
An ideal property for a family celebration. Michelle and her family were very pleasant and helpful. The welcome pack was generous thank you. We all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and pool
Barbara
A beautiful property with enormous rooms, immaculate large gardens and wonderful views. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond on the several occasions that we needed help for one reason or another.
Jacqueline
Hilltop House is the perfect place for a special celebration with friends. It well and truly exceeded our expectations, with inside and outside space, plenty for everyone to fizz and be quiet by turns. The pool and hot tub add a whole extra dimension. The kitchen and dining room had everything we needed and more, and there's easily enough fridge space for food and drink for 20. The photos are accurate, but being here is so much more, the house welcomed each and every one of us, and with each room having its own thoughtthrough decor, everyone has their own special space. Strolls round the garden looking at the plants, sharing expertise, particularly useful for one studying with the RHS. The cows and sheep have been a wonderful backdrop for our whole stay. When photographing friends in their room, most wanted the picture with the view in the frame. Leaving, one said 'when we leave somewhere, I usually just want to get home, but I don't want to go, can we stay?' and another, here for 24 hours, said they feel like they've been on holiday. 'I think I might book something like this for my 60th... would you mind if I chose Hilltop House?' The various staircases lend a mystery to the whole experience, never quite sure where you are or where you'll end up. If there's a problem, it's a perfect storm of their being something you want to photograph every few minutes and constantly saying 'now where did I leave my phone?'
Jennifer
We have just returned from a 7 day Easter Break at this amazing house. There were 8 adults and 6 children and 1 dog and we just loved this house. It has a great large kitchen with a table to sit 8, this is where we spent most evenings, playing games and just generally chatting. It has a much larger dining room which sat 16. It had 2 lounges which we allocated as a gamescomputer room and a quiet lounge. It has a twin room on the ground floor which would be great for someone who would struggle with stairs and a downstairs bathroom with shower. On the second floor there wasa double and twin with a shared bathroom and a double and twin with a bathroom in between this was great for 2 familes. There was also a king with ensuite which we took as we didnt have children. On the 3rd floor there was another king with ensuite and bathroom which we didnt use and then another staircase with a playroom and twin which again we didnt use. At first glance it looks overwhelming with so much space we in actual fact having so much space was excellent. Outside was a games room with pool table, a hot tub, a patio with BBQ and a huge garden with loads of parking. Michelle was fantastic she contacted me prior to arrival and popped in after we arrived. There was a lovely homemade victoria sponge as a welcome gift! We unfortuately managed to break an ornament while we were there not the kids or the dog while closing one of the blinds and Michelle was really lovely about it and we arranged a replacement for it before we left. There was a guitar in the dining room which we ordered some new strings for while we were there and luckily there were 3 guitar players in our group so were able to play and have a sing song. All in all I would absolutely recommend this home for a large gathering of friendsfamilies.
Excellent venue for a family get together . Good sized reception rooms and large dining table to accommodate 20. Pool table and hot tub also good.
Family friendly house. Not too pristine so more relaxing with kidsdogs. Loads of room and very comfortable. Generally good cooking facilities and plenty of crockery etc. lovely views. Very friendly staffowners quickly dealt with minor problem. Would happily come back.
We had a brilliant time with our family and friends and it was lovely to meet you both. We loved the house and its genuine feel . It is well stocked with everything you could wish for including toys for the children in a super playroom which our 3 year olds loved. The garden is beautifully maintained in spite of a visit from some neighbouring cows! You responded promptly to the few issues we reported ie the dodgy shower and the broken chair. Many thanks.
The property is amazing. Everything we wanted and more. There was 14 of us and our two labradors. Everyone had an amazing time especially our labradors. Would 199 recommend
Stephen
The house and gardens were fantastic and a perfect setting for my birthday celebrations with family and friends. We received a warm welcome including our dogs. There was plenty of room for the 14 of us and the facilities were excellent including very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend this property
gareet
All 19 of us had a lovely weeks holiday at Hilltop. A real family home. Hot tub was great and swimming lengths could actually be done in the pool. Gardens large and safe for children. Football, rounders and many other games played by adults and children. Kitchen very, very well stocked. Beds brilliant very comfortable. As city people the quiet of the surrounding countryside and looking at the night sky, so dark with the stars glistening all around was a delight. A big thank you to Michelle for use of the house and the fab welcome basket.
We had a warm welcome from Michelle & Roger. A perfect property for our family holiday. A large garden for all the family to play games. The children were in the pool every day whatever the weather. Adults enjoyed the hot tub. It was useful having a television lounge and a quiet lounge with comfortable sofas. The kitchen is well equipped. All the beds were comfortable. We had a problem with the hot water which was dealt with immediately. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Hilltop House. The children did not want to leave.
A house with WOW factor. Really enjoyed our stay here, albeit in rather wet and windy conditions but the house did not let us down. Had everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to games and entertainment. Looking foward to another visit soon. Thank you to Michelle and family for being so helpful and a big hug to Archie.
Francine
We had a very pleasant and friendly welcome. The house was very spacious and well equipped. Even though the weather was sunny, it was still a little heroic to use the swimming pool in May, But the hot tub proved very popular. The grounds of the house were vast and allowed children and teenagers to have plenty of fun. As we had 3 children under five maybe a little play area with a little climbing frame or slide would have been welcome. We all had a very good time.
