We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the pictures do not do it justice. The garden was huge which the boys loved. Only moan was the gardener started mowing the lawns at 8am which woke everyone and we advised the owner. Otherwise I would highly recommend.

Great outdoor and indoor activities - we were blessed with great weather. So peaceful and a huge garden and large pool. House is full of character with low ceilings and wonky floors but it is 15th century ! We all had a fabulous time :)

We loved staying in Mayfield and enjoying the garden and pool, which was a highlight with the teenagers as the weather was so good. The hosts laid out really clear instructions to help our stay go smoothly. There was everything we could possibly need and the beds were very comfy. We would recommend this place to others and would love to come back again.

We, 6 adults & 3 children, loved the house and gardens and there was a lot of activities on offer such as table tennis, darts, crocket, football, table games, etc. The kitchen facilities were very good and we loved the cosy kitchen, dinning & TV room. The living room was great and we played a few 'Articulate' games which was enjoyable. The shops were not too far away and dinning out in Mayfield was also fabulous. The only draw back was the weather. We had only 2-3 good sunny days during the week's stay but we made the most of it. Bibleham house is certainly a lovely place to stay at.

The views were stunning. The cottage was quaint and cosy. The pool cannot be heated at this time of year to an adequate temperature and therefore unless you have wet suits or like wild water swimming, the pool is far too cold. The pool table and table tennis table were great assets for rainy days and a great source of entertainment for everyone. The open fireplace was a great bonus and the property is large enough so that everybody can find their own space.

Beautiful setting and location, totally still and rural; exceptional garden facilities for our games mad family with so many options, and the bonus of a swimming pool. Delightful hosts who couldn't have been more responsive.

A great property and lovely gardens, with a fantastic view in a quiet location. The house is readily accessible as long as you don’t mind narrow roads. Not a property for the taller person but you do only tend to bang your head the once :) The option to have an open fire was lovely but we had a warm week for October so only used it a few nights. The house is very warm and beds comfortable. There was plenty of room for five of us plus our three dogs and the stable door in the kitchen is very useful when they had wet feet. We were hoping to be able to use the pool but the winter cover would have made this too difficult. Plenty to visit in the vicinity. We did have occasion to speak to the owners who were both lovely. It is fantastically dark in the evenings but we didn’t use the telescope and should have done in hindsight as we had a few nice clear evenings.

We had a good holiday at the cottage. It's a quirky property with a huge garden. There were lots of trees and shade to sit in and fabulous views. I watered what I could in the garden to keep it beautiful for the next people. We appreciated the swimming pool as we were there in the hottest July ever! We had some great games of pool too. The preparation of the house prior to our arrival was disappointing. The property had clearly been empty for a bit and every beam, every doorway and every corner was covered in cobwebs and spiders including the wardrobes and around the legs of tables and chairs so I spent a couple of hours vacuuming so that the family didn't have cobwebs in their hair and spiders in their clothes. The kitchen was well equipped but with a ceiling height of 6' we didn't spend alot of time in it because most of the family couldn't stand up straight in it. The tables and chairs outside were good for al fresco. We didn't use the bbq as it was still full of the debris from someone else's bbq. The wifi which runs off a mobile booster worked well for us and a couple of essential Teams meetings were fine. There were a few strips of leather on some of the doorways to indicate how low they were but we all came a cropper a few times on the very low headroom. The house had lots of decorative things in it - pictures and ornaments and shelves of books to make it homely. Overall we had a good holiday but the low beams were just too low for us.

This property was ideal for our party aged 8yrs-70yrs. The secure garden is magnificent with plenty of room for family games of cricket, football,easter egg hunt plus outdoor dining and relaxing. We were too early to use the swimming pool but had endless use of the table tennis and pool tables. The kitchen was well equipped , beds all very comfortable and clean. We had a wonderful week and would definitely book to stay again.

Beautiful quaint cottage with large grounds and beautiful scenery. Great communication with the hosts. They were ever so helpful. The kitchen had plenty of utilities and dishes and tray/pots/pans etc for a large group. Plenty of things to do and rooms clean and comfortable. Was a lot bigger than what we expected. The pool was a nice, but probabaly didn’t seem as clean as we would of liked. Also had an issue with showers and hot water. Was quite difficult to get hot water. But we didn’t mind too much as it was warm weather. Overall great stay and will definitely book again.
