Delightful place for special family get-together
Had a fantastic weekend at Howe Villa to celebrate my birthday with our adult children, travelling from different directions. Lovely spacious house, felt both luxurious (flowers in the hall and kitchen, bottle of birthday bubbly) and homely, things like family photos around makes it feel more like you’re staying with friends. Gorgeous garden with steps down to river and plenty parking. Three sitting rooms, so the sports fans weren’t in everyone else’s way! Master bedroom beautiful, very comfortable four poster bed with lovely linen and towels, morning sunshine, and a lovely bathroom (roomy bath and shower). Five more double beds - two top floor ones share a bathroom, ground floor ones two are en suite, last room is a little inconvenient for bathroom. Loved the kitchen - has an Aga as well as an electric oven and a plug in induction hob for those not used to an Aga. Two dishwashers was a godsend for such a big group. Really well equipped, plentiful crockery etc. Lovely little balcony off the kitchen was a super place to sit with a small group. We could all just squeeze round the table in the kitchen - the formal dining room would have been too small for us all. We weren’t rushed out - checkout was 11 but Sarah said we were welcome to stay until 12. Thank you for making it a very special stay in Richmond. I would love to come back! (Actually I’d love to live there….except for the heating and maintenance bills!!)
