“The lodge was a lovely place to stay.”

I’m quite OCD with cleaning so I usually struggle staying away from home. The lodge was mega clean, and cosy! Loved the decor too. I had an amazing sleep the bed was very comfy. I felt completely zen staying here and I’m so gutted being home! The scenery is amazing and I loved watching wildlife and seeing the dogs!

- Louise, March 2024

Thank you for the fabulous feedback, this is exactly what we would like our guests to experience ! Please come back and enjoy our holiday Barns once again. Natalie Property Owner
Anna-marie February 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at The Barn.”

The property itself is comfortable, cosy and very well equipped. The view of the mill pond is relaxing and the overall location is great. The host was very informative and quick to respond with a query that we had. We would like to return in the summer with the whole family and have both properties and make use of the beautiful deck and bbq area. 11/10

James October 2023

“The Barn is a luxury rural property - very comfortable and warm in the most beautiful setting overlooking the Mill pond with its abundance of wildlife.”

The strategically placed bird feeder attracted and we saw many garden birds, moorhens, ducks, a woodpecker, a kingfisher and a heron. Natalie and Sharon were fabulous hosts. The property is very secure with electric gates at the entrance.

- James, October 2023

Really pleased to hear you have both had a lovely stay with us. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words. All the best Natalie Property Owner

Karen October 2023

“My friend and I had a wonderful 4 night stay in the Barn, we picked it for the 2 bedrooms and en-suite which were fantastic, big shower.”

The Barn was high end and had everything we needed, particularly loved sitting out on the decking and watching the birds visiting the feeders, even saw the Kingfisher on the pond (more like a lake) it was so relaxing and it was exactly what 2 old friends needed for a get together. Natalie was lovely, introduced herself and recommended a pub for Sunday lunch which was a super choice. Their dogs came & said hello, beautiful dogs and very friendly but don’t feed them as they get too fat

- Karen, October 2023
Linda Kathleen September 2023

Lise June 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in the The Barn.”

It is set in a peaceful rural location but not far from Worcester where there are plenty of interesting things to do. The Barn has been beautifully decorated and has all the facilities you need.

- Lise, June 2023

That’s super to hear thank you and do please come back to stay, Natalie Property Owner
Susan June 2023

“All I can say is wow.”

We had a fabulous week at The Barn. The accommodation had everything you could ask for, the beds were comfy and a lovely large shower. But for us it was also the setting, views and wildlife that made the week. A fabulous large deck overlooking the pool meant we could daily watch the heron, ducks, moorhens, dragonflies, birds and otter but on the last day to our delight the deer came to the waters edge to drink! Also great location for visiting local attractions. Thank you Natalie you were a brilliant hostess, it was lovely to meet you and we can't wait to come back x

- Susan, June 2023

It’s pleasing to hear you had a super time staying here with us, the entertainment our birds and animals put on, is purely by chance, so you were very lucky to see them all out to play! The majestic deer come each day if you’re up early enough and quiet enough, as you clearly were. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and it was lovely to meet you both too. All the best Natalie Property Owner
David June 2023

“A bit disappointed that there wasn't a welcome pack.”

Apart from that the holiday was good.

- David, June 2023

Thank you choosing Mill Pond Barns and I’m sorry to see you’re disappointed there wasn’t a welcome pack. Due to weekly laundry and cleaning price increases, it was a decision we made to avoid an increase of cost on your stay. All the best Natalie Property Owner
David May 2023

- David, May 2023

Zarah February 2023

“We loved our stay at The Barn.”

It had everything we needed and was perfect with 2 children, plenty of space for them to play. It was so peaceful and quiet which is exactly what we wanted but still close enough to all attractions we wanted to visit. The hosts were very helpful also answering all questions super quick. We will definitely be back!

- Zarah, February 2023

I’m very pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay with us at Mill Pond. Barns. Thank you so much for your super feedback. Much appreciated, Natalie Property Owner
Julie August 2022

“Well equipped and very high standard holiday let.”

Beautiful surroundings and the view from the decking was wonderful to see every morning ! Far enough away from the general hustle and bustle of life but close enough to visit places of interest. Can't wait to go back !

- Julie, August 2022

Thank you for your very kind feedback, we too love our beautiful surroundings and we look forward to welcoming you back to Mill Pond Barns, Natalie Property Owner

Hilary July 2022

“This property was almost perfect - exceptionally clean and with very comfortable beds.”

The only drawback was the size of the bedrooms which were very snug! Otherwise we loved it.

- Hilary, July 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback, lovely to hear you found our beds comfortable and more importantly, that The Barn was exceptionally clean. I will pass this onto my cleaning staff. Thank you again Property Owner

Philip March 2022

“It was fine.”

The lady in charge Natalie was lovely, as were her dogs

- Philip, March 2022
Linda March 2022

“We really enjoyed our break at The Barn : it was nicely furnished, very clean and had everything we needed.”

The scones, jam and cream were a lovely surprise and much appreciated - also plenty of loo rolls ( a sign of generosity that many other places lack, weirdly ). There was some faint noise from next door but as it's a semi, that's to be allowed for : it wasn't excessive. I loved watching the birds on the feeders and around the property - such a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere. I suspect we'll be back...

- Linda, March 2022

Many thanks for your feedback and we would be more than happy to welcome you back to Mill Pond Barns for another peaceful stay. We paid ourselves in cleanliness and keeping guests happy, so reading your feedback is very pleasing indeed. Many thanks, Natalie Property Owner
Claire October 2021

“We had a really lovely stay in the Barn.”

Kitchen was very well equipped and everything was provided for. The views of the pond were amazing and we loved the welcome gifts. That was a nice touch. Beds were comfy and the showers were great. Beautiful decor in the place too and everything was exceptionally clean. Overall, probably one of the best stays we’ve had (and we’ve had a lot). Would highly recommend.

- Claire, October 2021

Thank you so very much for your exceptional feedback- it’s just what I like to hear, as we work very hard trying to make everyone’s stay here at Mill Pond Barns, one to remember! So Thank you ! Natalie Property Owner
Janette October 2021

“Beautiful barn conversion in an idyllic setting.”

Wonderful place to relax in the countryside.

- Janette, October 2021

Thank you for your exceptional feedback, lovely to read it’s an “ideal setting” ! We like to think so too. Natalie Property Owner
Linda September 2021

“Lovely peaceful accommodation overlooking the pond ideal for watching the ducks, heron, woodpeckers and was delighted to see a kingfisher.”

The Barn was spotlessly clean and equipped with all you need on holiday even binoculars to view the birds. Would highly recommend and would certainly return in the future.

- Linda, September 2021

Thank you so very much for your exceptional feedback, we love seeing the Kingfishers and so pleased they came out across the pond and shared that experience with you too. Our cleaners aim is to maintain a very high standard, so it’s very pleasing to read you felt it was reached ! Natalie Property Owner
James September 2021

“Excellent chalet in really secluded spot overlooking the small lake.”

We were just the 2 of us as next door were also just a couple. So we enjoyed the solitude. Just be aware that the 2 chalets are one wooden building, so noisy neighbours could be a disadvantage as highlighted by other reviews. Natalie was a gracious host and made us very welcome. Google maps and what3words put the chalets in the middle of the field opposite. ///edgy.scorched.porch/// on What3words will take you to the entrance gate.

- James, September 2021

Superb feedback and we would like to thank you for popping in the what3words, which takes you to our entrance gates- it’s most helpful indeed! Great to hear you enjoyed your stay and hopefully the sound proofing we have added in Jan 2022 will help to soften any sounds from neighbours. Natalie Property Owner
Abigail August 2021

“Beautiful property in good location for doing lots of things around the West Midlands.”

The cottage is well equipped and immaculate. There’s also a laundry available to use. Only issue we had was finding the property when we first arrived. All in all a great stay

- Abigail, August 2021

Apologies to hear you had trouble locating us, super to read you had a great stay with us. And the West Midlands, I agree, haas many attractions and caters for all needs! Natalie Property Owner
Maya August 2021

“Comfortable, modern cottage with beautiful deck overlooking the lake.”

Slightly less space than we expected from the listing and the relatively high price compared to places we have stayed previously i.e. no family bathroom and living space smaller than it seemed from the photos. We think it should be made clearer from the listing that the cottage is one of two neighbouring properties that share the deck; also that the washing/drying facilities are shared with the neighbours. But we had a pleasant stay, thank you.

- Maya, August 2021
Diane July 2021

“Fantastic little place the only thing is you can hear Everything the barn does next door .”

- Diane, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback and we are thrilled to hear you feel it's a fantastic little place! Property Owner
Paula July 2021

“We loved The Barn and all of it's beautiful peaceful surroundings.”

Natalie the owner and her husband are such lovely helpful people.The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. The Welcome pack was a great start to the holiday. We visited many places and enjoyed the peacefulness of the setting whilst watching the varied wildlife in and around the mill pond. We would love to return again.

- Paula, July 2021

Thank you Paula for super feedback, your comments are so pleasing to us and we are happy that you had a lovely time here and would like to return to our peaceful pond setting. Property Owner
Debbie July 2021

“Fabulous little hidden gem in beautiful surroundings.”

The perfect place to escape to for some peace and quiet. The barn was well equipped and very comfortable with beautiful furnishings. The welcome box was a lovely gesture. We had daily visits from the woodpecker and heron and the ducks became our friends courtesy of some duck food purchased from Jinney Ring craft centre (well worth a visit). All in all a lovely week and we were sad to leave. We would highly recommend the barn and hope to return soon.

- Debbie, July 2021

Debbie, it's so lovely to read that you enjoyed our Barns here in Worcestershire. We are lucky with the abundance of wildlife around our pond and also the the peace and quiet! Thank you very much for your feedback. Property Owner
Dereck July 2021

“A peaceful, tranquil setting made this break enjoyable.”

Well situated to explore much of Worcs without having to travel too far.

- Dereck, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are thrilled your found our barns to be peaceful and tranquil and that you enjoyed the nearby City Of Worcester. Property Owner
Annette June 2021

“This place wad amazing, so quiet and peaceful apart from the mower which was going most days all days we were there.”

- Annette, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and I can only apologise for our Husquanva robot mower, which is battery operated, and is not a petrol mower. We hope it didn't cause you too much displeasure. Property Owner
Joselyn June 2021

“The Barn is extremely comfortable and beautifully clean set in wonderful surroundings.”

We had an extremely enjoyable holiday and greatly appreciated the 'Welcome basket' of goodies.

- Joselyn, June 2021

We are very happy to hear you an extremely enjoyable stay with us here at Mill Pond Barns. Our welcome pack is just a little something to help you settle in it is lovely to know it's appreciated! Thank you for choosing to stay with us, Natalie Property Owner
Suzanne June 2021

“The pictures didn’t really do justice to the cottage.”

It could have been called “Birdsong” rather than “The Barn”, as it is the first thing you hear when you wake up and continues in the background all day. We’ve stayed in quality cottages before, and at others the main failing is very limited places to put your clothes. Here both bedrooms were well equipped for storage. The en-suites both had excellent rainfall showers, and the living/dining/kitchen area was well furnished including an Alexa and the TV bracket meant you could comfortably watch it from anywhere in the room. The deck is a wonderful place to unwind.

- Suzanne, June 2021

Wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and it's great to hear all of your wonderful comments. We are thrilled you had catered for your every need. We hope you'll return one day for another holiday to Mill Pond Barns, Natalie. Property Owner
Dennis May 2021

“Great place to relax and see the sights.”

Many attractions to see and also great local walks. Woodpeckers, Kingfishers, Herons, Birds of prey and lots of other birds just outside the patio to see everyday. Kitchen needs a smaller frying pan and everyday saucepans. Lovely hosts and a place to revisit in the future.

- Dennis, May 2021

Mr Wilson, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and great to hear you saw so much wildlife from The Barn. I will also ensure more everyday saucepans and a smaller frying pan is purchased for our next guests. Thank you so much for your much appreciated feedback. Natalie Property Owner
Sara May 2021

“What a beautiful place to stay!”

The accommodation is beautifully designed and super comfortable. The view from the decking over the pond is glorious - the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine, watch the chickens and kingfishers, and listen to the blackbirds. We loved the photographs of this property, but the reality is even better I think.

- Sara, May 2021

Thank you for staying with us here in beautiful Worcestershire and for the super feedback on our newly built barns. Very much appreciated. Natalie Property Owner
Georgia May 2021

“We really enjoyed our holiday at the Barn , was in a absolutely gorgeous setting.”

The barn was lush and had more than everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

- Georgia, May 2021

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay here at The Barn and even more delighted to hear you found it to be "Lush" and had everything you needed! Thank you so much, Natalie. Property Owner
