Tessies House is ideally suited to families or groups of friends and is unique in Bright. Set in its own fully fenced garden it offers total privacy for the larger group.

It is both family and pet friendly.

Cyclists are welcome as we have a lockable bike shed with power points for ease of charging electric bikes

It is owned and managed by Holidaybright Official Site - the most awarded property owner in Bright.

PLEASE NOTE - the standard booking is for 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms (2 king size beds and 2 long king singles). If you are wanting the 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom you will need to also book Tessies Studio which is listed, and charged for, separately. This can be found either on this Stayz/Homeaway site or on our own website Holidaybright Official Site

The location is perfect - at the end of a quiet, private court and only 5 minutes easy walk to town.

Park the car and walk to the Water Park, the Bright Brewery and all the restaurants. Once you arrive leave the car at home and just walk everywhere.
