  • "The Hyde is designed, built and maintained to a high standard."

    Located well as a base for the many attractions of the area. The use of the hot tub an added bonus. Beds comfortable. Note there is no microwave. The only negative is the traffic noise from the busy road right next to the building, even shook the building violently once when a heavy vehicle went past at speed. Perhaps wouldn't bother those used to such noise. Owner pleasant and helpful.

    Really very sorry to hear your stay was interrupted by traffic noise I do try my utmost to ensure guests have the best time, but unfortunately the traffic/ farming machinery that operate at certain times of the year in the surrounding countryside, are out of my control and can make what is usually a fairly quiet road a little busier.at times . The microwave is located, plugged in and ready for guests to use in the main kitchen cupboard . Once again, very sorry you couldn’t locate this during your stay Kindest regards Averil Property Owner

    Its a beautiful little cottage in a lovely location, with everything you could possibly need and more. We will be visiting again.

  • "Beautiful cottage with very good quality fixtures and fittings."

    Unfortunately the ceiling height upstairs proved challenging for my 6ft 2in tall husband. If I’m going to nitpick, some small tables in the sitting area would be useful to put a cup or glass down. Otherwise it’s a perfectly equipped holiday home and the hot tub is a real bonus. Thank you to the owners for the welcome treats too.

  • "The Hyde most definitely deserves all the 5 star reviews, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

    The location was peaceful, surrounded by fields with easy access to Stratford Upon Avon and Warwick as well as the Cotswolds, a real gateway for lots of exploring, with some lovely villages in easy reach with fantastic pubs/eateries. The property itself was amazing, fantastic decor and spec throughout, the beds were super comfortable - best nights sleep ever - both bedrooms with lovely en suite bathrooms. The downstairs was lovely a cosy, with everything you could want for a break away from home and a gorgeous log burner. The hot tub was clean and well maintained, with views over the field and surrounded by twinkling lights, fantastic end to the days. The stars of the show were most definitely the hosts, from the welcome gifts, the service, the recommendations for local meals and even driving us to a pharmacy when our daughter was poorly. Both Simon and Averil went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing stay, without being intrusive. Our family does lots of these breaks and I can honestly say this has been my favourite - thank you both for being awesome, we will definitely be back!

    We arrived at the Hyde on New Year’s day after a hectic December. It was exactly what we needed: peaceful, quiet, relaxing, beautiful location and well equipped with everything we needed. There were also plenty of places to visit nearby. We (including our 10 year old son) enjoyed the hot tub. We would love to go back to the Hyde again sometime. Thanks Simon and Averil for creating such a beautiful place to stay.
