Both rooms have full length windows and double French doors that open out into the south facing courtyard.

Interaction with guests:Â We should be there to meet you and introduce you to the family dogs Lottie, Lucy, Molly and Georgie Girl. The accommodation is located adjacent to the main house and the dogs may be around much of the time. You will be welcomed to join us in any farm activities or just to hang out with the alpacas. We are a working farm so expect on occasion for there to be other people around when we do alpaca walks, run handling courses or fibre workshops. If you wish to participate, these can be booked on your arrival.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful break. Victoria was easy and quick to communicate with ahead of our trip (navigating storms etc). The accommodation was spotless and comfortable. It was such a joy to watch the Alpacas from the living room window each morning and then immerse ourselves amongst them ahead of their feed. The runner ducks were amusing and enjoyable to watch!
Roger and Victoria are knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating hosts and we would definitely return again - albeit in more pleasant weather so we can fully enjoy the chairs and table in the courtyard. The shower was excellent and most needed to warm ourselves up from the storms which hit during our stay.

Lovely stay with a calming atmosphere
A great place to stay, the environment is so tranquil and the hosts are great. The animals are all great to be around, the alpacas are very calming, the ducks are very cute and the dogs come for fuss, everything I needed! If I ever get the chance I'd stay again!

Victoria and Rogers place has all the amenities you can ask for In a holiday home - a really well equipped kitchen, fans and heating, comfortable sofa and beds, good wifi, Washing machine and an enclosed place for our dog to run about
Really nice to wake up to the curious alpacas grazing right in front of the place

The MAD museum at Stratford is absolutely fantastic- our daughter liked it better than the science museum in London

Peaceful, unique & restoring place
This is a haven, delightful, relaxing and friendly hosts. I am having the best time! The accommodation is just right, my dogs and I have been made very welcome. The alpaca are enchanting, so too the big family of ducks! Accessible and as soon as you turn into the drive you've left the traffic behind and are in beautiful countryside. It's smart, comfortable and has everything one needs. Can't recommend it enough!

Dog friendly accommodation
We had a very comfortable few days staying at Kings Lodge, it was clean, warm and well equipped. The owner was welcoming and kindly allowed our grand daughters to visit and feed the Alpacas. We enjoyed watching them and the Indian Runners (Ducks) also the low flying Swallows who were nesting nearby.

Lovely relaxing long weekend
Had a lovely break at The Stable. The cottage is small but lovely for two. Well equipped kitchen and very clean throughout. Victoria and Roger were great hosts, and the gorgeous dogs, alpacas and ducks were lovely. Good location on main road (but very quiet in the cottage) and easy to get to nearby places. We visited the Cotswolds, Stratford-Upon-Avon and Warwick.
Our only slight niggle was that the sofa in the lounge was not very comfortable - definitely needs replacing. The bed however was excellent.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice location; close to decent sights.
A lovely little apartment which is part of a working Alpaca Farm (they are so sweet btw). Dog-friendly and situated just off the main A422 between Worcester and Stratford. Great sights around and if, as we do, you fancy making best use of local walks, there are many within easy access as well a couple of lovely canal walks. The apartment had everything needed to ensure you don't have to eat out every night. There are a few pubs within relatively easy distance (all do food). The Red Hart is walkable along a path. Would recommend a Sunday lunch at the Wheelbarrow Castle c. 3 miles away. All in all would definitely recommend.

We would highly recommend the Stable .
