Book a hotel near Bidford Grange Golf Course, Alcester

"Really lovely stay and well located in terms of travelling into Stratford. Continental breakfast was ample for us all and the food the night before was delicious. "

"The hotel is brilliant and beautiful. The only drawback is that for such a nice hotel the restaurant is mediocre at best. Not worth the price they charge and the offerings are just as common an a below average pub menu. Even the burgers were ‘meh’ according to my teens. My Caesar salad was even less tasteful. Restaurant aside, the grounds and facilities were fantastic! "

"The Lily Pad is a lovely apartment, with gorgeous views, plenty of inside and outside space to sit and relax, and fully equipped with everything you could need."

"Good size room, but furthest one away from bar \ restaurant. It was an accessible room which wasn't what i booked, but it was very quiet after some patrons going out to back for late smokes. Got a warm welcome when checking in, & there were good drink options, although surprised at how early the bar closed. Breakfast was excellent & well presened. Would recommend friends & family to stay there if cisiting the area. Only disappointing thing was the room rate was reduced by £10 the day after we booked, and although it said free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but when i tried it said I would lose all money if cancelled."

"We had a pleasant stay at the Combine Shed overall, but we did feel the property is starting to look a little tired and could benefit from some updates. A few items seemed due for replacement, such as some of the pots and pans, and the sofas have noticeably lost their comfort. Also the carpet in front of the woodburner has suffered burn damage. The shower appears to be fitted the wrong way around, with hot and cold reversed. Unfortunately, this meant our first experience of the water that was either too hot or too cold before we realised, which was concerning. We also weren’t able to use the hot tub on our first evening. I understand it’s advised that it may not be ready until 7pm, however at 9pm it was still only 30 degrees, so it wasn’t hot enough to use, which was disappointing. While I appreciate it’s not guaranteed, it would have been a lovely touch to have a small amount of milk provided on arrival. The nearest shop is around a 10-minute drive away, so it’s not ideal when you’ve just arrived and would like a cup of tea. Similarly, three robes rather than two would have been helpful for using the hot tub, although we did appreciate that robes and towels were supplied. Overall, we had a nice stay, but we do feel the property would benefit from a bit of a refresh and a few thoughtful updates to really enhance the experience. Location wise, it’s a really lovely spot. The views from the garden and especially from the hot tub are beautiful. There’s a Co-op and a One Stop within a short drive, or around a 15-minute walk away, which is handy. It’s worth checking in advance whether the local pubs and restaurants are serving food, particularly out of peak season. When we visited in February, quite a few were either closed at the start of the week or not serving food on Mondays and Tuesdays, which we hadn’t realised when we planned to eat out on the Tuesday evening. I would highly recommend a visit to the Cottage of Content. It’s about a 15-minute walk away. The walk can feel a little precarious late at night as there are no pavements, but the two publicans were very welcoming, offered great local recommendations, and the food was excellent. If we’d stayed longer, we would definitely have gone back. We also really enjoyed a meal at Balti Hot. The service was great and the curry was delicious. It’s also about a 15-minute walk, this time with pavements the whole way, which makes it an easy option. For days out, Warwick Castle is around a 40-minute drive and made for a fantastic day. If you’re a National Trust member, Croome is well worth visiting. We’d also recommend a trip to Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds, which is very picturesque. Overall, it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area."

"We had a very pleasant stay at Oosland Barns. Very comfortable accommodation. Clean and comfy. It was a relaxing atmosphere. Good facilities and we enjoyed the hot tub. Good location for exploring Stratford and the Cotswolds. Really enjoyed our weekend."
