Alkington Grange Barns

Upon arriving at Olivers Mill for the Christmas period I have to say that my first impression (on inspection) was " spotless". It was extremely clean and comfy, inviting and warm, especially on a miserable wet day.
Everything was catered for. Plenty of cutlery and crockery, tea bags, coffee and sugar. Plus a lovely welcome gift for us all.
Bedrooms were warm and comfy and the bath and showers were of high standard with more than enough hot water and pressure.
LOVED the swimming pool.
I think that Emma and James have done an excellent job here.
I would recommend this place to families who, for whatever reasons want to get together for quality family time.
Also corporate groups could use these facilities for team building weeks.
There are so many options here and we personally wish Emma and James a huge amount of success.
Certainly a Christmas to remember , for all the right reasons.

Thank you so much

David and Linda

Just got back from staying in Williams hayloft and wow what a lovely place to stay, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly want, the lounge was very comfortable and bright. All the bedrooms were lovely and cosy and the whole house and garden was impeccably clean and tidy. The garden was enclosed which was great for our dog. There is a indoor swimming pool that you book for your cottages personal use, a lovely children’s play area and tennis/football area to use. We had a very quiet and relaxing time and will definitely be booking to visit again. Thank you James and Emma for a brilliant relaxing time.

Simply outstanding! We stayed in the Williams Hayloft barn last week. Very well cleaned and stocked with further cleaning items should we need them. We had everything we could possibly need in the kitchen, to make our meals. The rooms are very spacious and comfy.
The closed off garden area was perfect for our dog to run about. Plenty of fields to go walking in.
The pool was an excellent facility to use after a long day of walking. James and Emma were on hand to answer any questions and even resolved minor issue very quickly, nothing major just an issue with a hoover, (these things happen) which James provided a replacement straight away.
They have lots of information leaflets on places to visit and local information which was really handy.
The whole site was really impressive and excellent value for money. We most definitely will be visiting again.

Fantastic location and facilities. We stayed as a group of 8 in James Parlour over the Jubilee period and were very impressed with the condition, cleanliness and level of equipment in the accommodation plus the swimming pool and sports court are excellent and a real selling point. Great place to explore the local area and Emma and James are excellent and caring hosts.
5 star review for good reason

11 of us plus baby had a great weekend. The house was well equipped and the pool was lovely and warm. House is in a beautiful setting. Convenient for Whitchurch for shopping.

We recently stayed in James’ parlour and what a delightful stay it was! The house was roomy and perfectly kitted out with everything that you could possibly wish for in the kitchen. It was such a wonderful knife block that we have now purchased one ourselves!
We used the lovely warm pool, small but perfectly formed, every day and the tennis court was great for adults and kids alike. The little ones loved the play area so we hardly moved for several days.
Can’t recommend the parlour highly enough and would love to return.

James Parlour - Property was everything and more that we could of asked for.
Owners put alot of thought into the property that contained everything you could need for a lovely holiday. Property was spotless and in a good location.
Website was very good giving information of activities in the area which we booked several weeks before our holiday.
Contact with owners from start to finish was very efficient.
Sports court, swimming pool and the play area for younger children were a hit with our family and again efficiently ran by booking a time slot on a board.
On very satisfied family.
Thank You Alkington Grange Barns.

Second visit a few weeks ago and stayed in different accomodation each time. For both visits a generally good experience but niggles which pulls down a positive experience. Issues are resolved but have always seemed to involve compromise on our side.
