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 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!
