The house, considerably extended and refurbished in recent years was well equipped, comfortable and a delight to stay in. The extensive grounds of the 'arboretum' together with the pool, zipwire and well equipped summer house provided and excellent and secluded nature and wildlife adventure playground for my grandsons which is exactly what we were looking for. Good communication from hosts.

Wonderful family home, amazing warm pool, beautiful grounds. The best holiday we have had as a family. Thank you.

We came from Washington State to this lovely home for visiting time with our UK relatives. It is ideal for family reunions with the summer house -even with an occasional shower! Our grandsons loved it and there were good walks and space to spread out with the heated covered pool a bonus. It is perfect in every way!

Beautiful house and grounds. Our family aged 8 - 80 enjoyed it equally.

We are a family of 6 and overall we had a very nice time at Nursery House. The property itself is charming and spacious with good facilities and a pleasant atmosphere. The pool was clean and a good size and even though our stay was in late December, the water was lovely and warm, although its temperature inexplicably dropped towards the end of our stay. However, even then it was adequate. The vast grounds surrounding the property are a delight, although obviously much more relevant in the summer months. The owners were pleasant and helpful on the phone. The only problem with the property during the winter is the heating system which didn’t warm up the house well enough for us. The system is aptly called ‘heatmiser’, an appellation it certainly lived up to. The internal temperature didn’t surpass 18 Celsius under this system and, although a small fan heater and portable electric radiator were provided, these are cumbersome and limited in impact. Upstairs, the radiators hardly came on at all and even when they did, they never get hot, leaving the bedrooms uncomfortably nippy. There are log fires downstairs that we had to resort to, but these emit smoke which is unpleasant to breathe in and leaves an odour on one’s clothes. At night, I would have to carry the heavy portable radiator up to ensure at least one warm bedroom - not something I think one should need to do if you are paying £3000 for 5 nights. Overall though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nursery House which I’m sure in warmer months is an ideal family getaway.
