Perfect celebration house
We had a wonderful stay here which far surpassed expectations. Every room in the property was lovely and there was plenty of space for 17 adults. There were plenty of very spacious bathrooms. The large hall was a particular highlight as an event space. The kitchen was small but well equipped enough to feed 17 over the weekend and the dishwasher much appreciated. Would certainly return for a celebration weekend in future.

An amazingly beautiful, comfortable house. The best weekend ever
We would definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay in. The owners and manager Lauren, were so helpful and couldn’t have prepared the house better for our stay. We had such a memorable weekend. The weather helped and we were also able to make use of the stunning extensive grounds. Thankyou.

Stunning
An absolutely beautiful property which is even bigger than you can imagine from the pictures. We were a group of six families and the house had more than enough space for all the adults and children. The grounds were beautiful with unbelievable views.
Holly was a superb host. She stayed late to ensure we had everything we needed and was so friendly and thoughtful. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be back!
Then only improvement would be a dishwasher... With 19 of us there was a lot of washing up to do!
