We stayed 2 nights in the pheasant room, which along with the rest of the house was immaculate. You have to admire Linda and Andrew's attention to detail and the welcome cake was more than welcome! We are interested in our own Passive Haus project and what a wonderful home to begin our research. Linda and Andrew are fantastic hosts catering for all needs and are more than happy to discuss their experience of building their own home and living the Passive life.

Woodlands is a wonderful house, with perfect hosts and set in the most beautiful location. We stayed for two nights in the Partridge room in early July 2022 looking for a quiet and comfortable break and were not disappointed. Andrew & Linda made us feel most welcome and at ease on our arrival and our room was spacious, comfortable and finished to the highest specification to make our stay perfect. The breakfast choice and quality was excellent and the home made lemon cake was ‘the icing on the cake!! We were not drawn to Woodlands by a desire to build a Passivhaus, but we couldn’t fail to be hugely impressed by what our hosts had created. We would highly recommend it. Steve & Barbara Kelly

Very welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely relaxing few days in an amazing location in a beautiful house. Our room and en-suite was very clean and spacious. Welcomed with lovely cake and tea, coffee and fresh milk. To start us off on our adventures we had an enjoyable and filling full English breakfast each day. We would highly recommend visiting. Thanks again.

We spent a very enjoyable three nights in the Hare Room earlier this month and would highly recommend a stay.
Linda and Andrew were wonderful hosts - always there if you needed anything but never intrusive. We’d alerted them to the fact we were vegetarian and so were given a choice of appropriate breakfast options and they also adapted their evening platter menu for us too. We decided a few days before we arrived to have that for two nights and were very glad that we did - it was lovely sitting out on the patio with a table full of food and the wine/beer we’d brought with us.
The house itself was amazing, just such a comfortable atmosphere, the rooms were well appointed and the shower was wonderful. The location was very peaceful - a real break away from everything but still plenty to do in the surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed watching the pheasants wander past on a regular basis.
Andrew and Linda were very patient in answering all of our questions about their experience of self-building and of living in a Passivhaus.
We’re already plotting a return visit!

Brilliant weekend away. Andrew and Linda are the most patient welcoming hosts. Willing to answer all our questions about the house and the build process, providing delicious food and a peaceful relaxing environment for the guests to enjoy. The surrounding is beautiful and allows for nice walks. Worcester is very close and a nice city to spend the day. Will not only recommend but definitely go back in winter to enjoy the comfort and wonderful reception we received.

We’ve just returned from four nights at Woodlands. Our first time in a Passivhaus and we were really impressed. The atmosphere was superb as were the facilities. The location is outstanding and extremely peaceful. Breakfasts were awesome and the food platter that we had on our first night was brilliant.
Andrew and Linda were consummate hosts, always there should we need them. They were both very knowledgeable and happy to answer out question about the house. We would recommend Woodlands to anyone who wants to stay in a peaceful setting where the wildlife is on show every day.
Thank you Andrew and Linda for a great long weekend. Nick & Judy

An amazing house in a superb location, with very attentive hosts. Andrew and Linda were so happy to explain the mechanics and comfort of building and living in a passive house. We stayed with our daughter in the Hare and Pheasant rooms and enjoyed every comfort. The breakfasts were the most delicious we can remember.

We had a wonderful time at Woodlands. We were very keen to have a Passivhaus experience and now we are completely convinced Passivhaus is the way forward. Andrew and Linda were superb hosts and very happy to talk about their house. The bedrooms are a very high standard and the breakfasts were delicious. The location is beautiful and peaceful.
