Family holiday

Lovely very quirky house. Absolutely ideal for a family holiday with a mixture of ages. Lovely garden with beautiful views and full of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Very close to many outdoor and indoor activities so even the weather couldn’t spoil the holiday. Highly recommend this property.

The outstanding element was the communication with the owners. They were lovely. The house is large, well-provisioned, and the location is superb for its rural setting and ease of access to both village and town amenities.

Great stay, highly recommended!

We were a group of 7 adults and 4 children (8 months to 8 years.) We had a lovely stay in this beautiful, quirky house. There are loads of easy day trips and we were happy to just chill out in the garden at the house. There was plenty of space and the beds (including the campbeds) were all comfortable. Amanda was responsive to emails and when we needed to phone her. We would love to return!

Good house for a large group of friends / family

Took a group of 8 friends to stay at the house. Kitchen, dining room and lounge all suitable for that number. Beds very comfortable & plenty of linen & towels provided. Great outdoor area - would be even better in the summer with the large front garden, BBQ and tennis court. Communication with the host excellent. Happy to recommend this house.

Lovely relaxing break

Our favourite things were playing tennis (badly!) for the first time in years and playing games around the nice big dining table. We were very comfortable and it was nice eating outdoors with a very pretty view including next door's alpacas! Amanda is really lovely to deal with and I'm happy to have found her property for our break.

Fantastic place with a lovely owner!

Amanda was super helpful the whole way through booking to us arriving, etc. The house is stunning and in a fantastic location. There were 11 of us and we didn't feel too cramped -we spent most of our time outdoors. Great place for dogs (slightly busy road but you can close the gate and lots of outdoor space for doggies to run around) Would recommend it to my friends and would love to come back to explore more of the area. Thanks again Amanda!

a beautiful spacious house

thank you Amanda for this nice holiday we had at your property. you were very helpful,with any query we had... the house was nice and clean, everything we expected was provided! plenty of towels and bedding! the kitchen is practical, though, a little tired... A couple more keys to lock bedroom or bathroom/toilet doors would be useful... The gardens are wonderful - especially with the nice weather we had during our stay, and so were the figs on the tree... all in all we had a very enjoyable break, without being ripped off - like most uk properties charge. a wonderful location for a relaxing holiday, michael

Lovely stay in a beautiful home

Our extended family had a wonderful weekend at this lovely property. The house was clean and ready for us to occupy and relax as soon as we got there. We were let down by the weather a little bit, but managed to take full advantage and used the tennis courts, trampoline and BBQ during our stay, which were all such a treat. The owners have been careful to ensure everything you might need is available, the welcome pack was such a treat. A good selection of games for the children and a TV to relax on a chilly summers' night! Comfy beds, spacious rooms, beautiful location - we also visited Bewl Water and Scotney Castle which are within easy reach of the house. The house slept 7 of us comfortably but we noted that there were camp beds should more need to stay, it wouldn't make the house cramped as there is plenty of room. I would recommend this house to people wanting to have a base to visit the local area, but no need to go out should you just want a get away from it all holiday. Thank you Amanda for making our stay so pleasurable - sorry it's taken so long to review!
