We've just returned from a week's stay at Willowbank and it was amazing. The lodge consists of a spacious, bright (includes 2 sets of french doors plus windows all round) open plan dining room/TV sitting area and kitchen. Two large bedrooms - the main one includes a large walk-in wardrobe as well as a spacious ensuite. The second bedroom is a large double and includes ample storage space. There is a good sized family bathroom with a bathtub/shower. The lodge is very clean, modern but at the same time homely. The wow factor is very much the lounge area which has views across the river. The kitchen is well appointed and includes everything you would need - including a large American style fridge/freezer. Finally, there is a utility room that includes a second sink and a separate washing machine and dryer. Willowbank is significantly larger than the other lodges in the park - we've stayed at three other smaller lodges in the same park. Outside there is a large decking area with outdoor sofas, a table and chairs. In terms of location, Willowbank is located about a mile from Stratford upon Avon and so it's a comfortable walk to the town centre. Tiddington village is only a 10 minute walk away. Overall, I would definitely recommend Willowbank. The owners have put a lot of effort to create a high quality lodge. Finally, Willowbank is very dog friendly.
