About this cottage rental
The Retreat is the award winning luxury holiday annexe adjoining Wolferlow House, the former rectory, set in beautiful scenery on the Herefordshire / Worcestershire border.
The highlight is the exclusive use of a totally private 9m indoor heated swimming pool and a Finnish sauna - entirely to yourselves.
The Retreat comprises a luxurious double bedroom with en-suite shower featuring a king size bed and Chinese furniture. A proper fold-out double bed settee allows extra sleeping in the sitting area. Double doors and a Juliet balcony give views across the croquet lawn. The fully equipped kitchen is tucked in the corner of the generous living area with flat screen TV, comfortable chairs and a dining table. A wide double-glazed glass screen leads to an elevated paved balcony with outdoor seating and distant views over farmland to the church and Wolferlow Court.
The large gardens used to be open each year for the National Garden Scheme and include an orchard, wildflower meadow with ponds, herbaceous borders and distant views across farmland.
Well away from any busy roads the seven acre property is quiet, peaceful and private.
Attention to detail includes the provision of top quality bed linen, towels and towelling robes.
The Retreat is ideal for a couple looking for a romantic and luxury getaway or to bring the baby / younger children and enjoy a family time together.

We had an amazing winter stay at this holiday home! The place was spotless, super comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The indoor heated pool and sauna were absolute highlights — nothing beats a swim and a good steam while it’s freezing outside! It really is tucked away in the middle of nowhere, but that made it even more peaceful. No noise, no crowds, just fresh air, starry skies, and total relaxation. If you’re after a cozy getaway with a touch of luxury, this is the perfect spot.

Easy to find with Google maps but nice and out of the way in a lovely rural setting to give you the experience of a retreat!All the essentials are provided to you on site, the pool and sauna, whilst not essential did start to feel that way after a couple of days. I did some work whilst there, the internet was very capable of teams meetings. There are some lovely views to be had. The hosts were incredibly friendly and full of local knowledge, though also leave you be in the peace and quiet on offer. I was given some of their apple juice which was frankly outstanding. You really do feel the space is your own as it is tucked away from the hosts main residence, and exclusive use of the pool was amazing.I enjoyed my stay immensely I'm sure you would too.

Amazing, property exactly as described, beautiful location, most relaxing holiday we have been on, was able to totally unwind, access to the swimming pool anytime was great, then a couple of steps to the sauna, finish of with a fun game of table tennis [beating hubby was an added bonus]. The information provided by the hosts was so detailed and provided everything from supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, GP access, Hospitals, they literally covered everything. We had the opportunity of having a couple of conversations with Jill who was lovely and always happy to help [not that we had any problems, was just getting some local knowledge and more information on the property itself]. There are lots of walks and the gardens are beautiful with access all areas. I will definitely be visiting again and have even sent the information through to family members who are considering a visit - Five stars does not seem sufficient but that is the most I could give - thank you Jill and Stuart
6.0 / 10.0Average·out 2024
We had a lovely very relaxing time here. Hosts were super friendly during our stay. The area and location of property is very nice.
One issue that we felt was misleading was not having a picture of the property from where guests enter from.There is a flight of stairs that must be used to enter into the property were the kitchen and bedroom are located. During rainy days it’s hard and scary to use or even in the dark where there is a little bit of lighting. Especially having a pre walker it’s difficult.
Upon our arrival we were settling in upstairs and there were a lot of bugs in corners and spider webs. The bedroom area had ladybugs near the windows and near the curtains where the balcony is.
We ended up having a hornet in the blinds on the window the day we’re departing.
During our stay the wifi was on and off again so we had a few issues with that but it’s understandable due to the location of the property. The signal in the whole area is very bad but again it’s in the middle of nowhere.
One night during our stay we had no hot water working.
Downstairs is the pool area so you have to go down the stairs and round the house to access the indoor pool. The pool area is very nice. Could do with another pump to help the water stay warm otherwise for us it wasn’t warm enough. For 2 days in the shower room of the pool there was a salamander or lizard it was black. We didn’t use the shower room downstairs at all.
Lastly the pan/pots provided are not that great to use
