Luxury Holiday Apartment With Exclusive Heated Indoor Swimming Pool And Sauna

The Retreat is the award winning luxury holiday apartment 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.

Perfect location to relax
Great getaway for a small family, in a lovely rural part of the country. The pool, sauna and table tennis kept us occupied and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Certainly considering a return visit.

Great little oasis
We had a lovely time at the property. It has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The pool and sauna were definitely the highlight especially as English weather was predictably rainy. Yes the pool was a little chilly but the kids didn’t seem to mind and the sauna was amazing to warm up in after a swim. We enjoyed playing table tennis as well. There is no DVD player as described in the listing so something to keep in mind. We explored the local area a bit as well. The mappa mundi in Hereford cathedral was fascinating and we enjoyed the black and white history trail in Weobley. Overall a fabulous stay and we’ll definitely be back.

Relaxing Christmas/New Year
The Retreat was a great place to stay for the festive period. It was warm, cosy and bright even on dull and rainy days. The kitchen was excellent and had pretty much everything we needed to cook and serve our Christmas lunch. The fairy lights and the Christmas tree outside certainly helped to make it festive. The pool and table tennis were absolutely lovely and we enjoyed having a swim every day. Would certainly be a great place to return to in the summer. We enjoyed exploring this area of Worcestershire, Ludlow, Stourport on Severn and the Severn Valley Railway on Boxing Day was a great day out. We would definitely recommend.

We had the loveliest time at the retreat.. We made good use of the pool and sauna, even ordered some pool toys for our stay whilst there.. This is a beautiful location with the perfect view of sun rise which I enjoyed. Lots of places and nice pubs to visit nearby, even went to Alton Towers one day. We would definitely stay again and recommend.

Great location
We had a fabulous time on a family staycation. Our children 11 and 14 especially enjoyed swimming everyday. There is so much to do hiking, National Trust and English Heritage properties and lovely villages to explore. So much history. The apartment was well supplied, clean and served us well. Jill and Stuart are incredibly welcoming. Crumpet the dog was lovely too. Cannot recommend The Retreat enough.

Relaxing holiday
We had a lovely time, the accomodation was really nice and we loved the pool and sauna. The location is great, very relaxing, we sat out in the garden overlooking the orchard, which was just wonderful. We hope to return for another relaxing week. Jill and Stuart, the hosts, are great.

Perfect Retreat
Me and my husband had an amazimg few days at the retreat. The apartment and pool were perfect for us and in an amazing peaceful location. Even though we didn't take our children, we know that they would have loved it especially the pool and orchid to run around. Thank you for the little getaway we needed, we definitely came gome feeling relaxed. Would highly recommended.
