We absolutely loved hosting our family and friends who came out to Scotland for our intimate wedding ceremony. This was the perfect location to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Ample space for each person to have any privacy they desired but also to spend quality time together around a table laughing or a fire playing a game. There is also a secret garden that we fell in love with. It’s so quiet and warm at Howford House and we were thrilled with our stay! Would highly recommend any larger gathering here! It’s epic.

We had a great stay. Would say that dining room and sitting room small for 16 adults. Great for families. A second electric kettle would have been good!

A brilliant time was had by all, 10 adults, 6 children and a babe in arms. It was a great family holiday, brilliant location for walking and wildlife. Enough space to be separate, but lovely areas/rooms to meet and be together. From the oldest to the youngest a great holiday and we hope to do it again in the not too distant future

Howford House is perfect for a large group. We were a group of 19 at the largest and fit comfortably. The house is well-stocked in the kitchen and Elaine was very accommodating as we needed additional supplies. The hot water heater must be huge. The Aga in the kitchen is a bonus.
