The property needs to be better maintained door knobs falling off taps loose several things not working light bulbs need replacing outside lights not working. Things need to be better maintained, cupboards not clean dirty table cloths in dining room, bin in projection/pool room had rubbish in on arrival. Cupboards in room needed good clean. Several showers were too hot to use and knobs did not turn to lower temperature v dangerous. Heating too high unable to control it properly. Garden wher we had 3 small children 7 lots of dog fececius found, which was a concern as we did not take our own dogs. bin bags to be provided for guests. I feel a welcome pack/bottle of wine would be better. Lots of bifold doors not easy to use needs maintenance. 86yr old mum tried to put clothes in cupboard door fell off landed on foot. Safety rails need to be added to kitchen area. Rails from hall to kitchen area need to have another rail/glass added to meet safety standards. Just a shame it lacks maintenance outside cushions all ripped/dirty in all areas , driveway needs updating very large holes in driveway. I’m happy to discuss these issues with yourselves.

We booked this house for the weekend for my sisters hen do and we all had the best time! Everything was as described. In fact, the photos don’t do it justice! We only had one issue on the first day, which was resolved within the hour. Stephanie was a great communicator and I would definitely consider coming back!

This is the second time our family have stayed at this property and it works very well for us. The family ages vary from 8 to 75 with plenty of room to share or spend quite time.

We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. However, a few caveats. There were several bins in the bathrooms which were full of the previous occupants' leavings - quite frankly this was gross. We had to ask for towels, the dishwasher had rice crispies in the bottom and some rice Biryani stuck around the door. Me, my eldest daughter and my grandson all got ear infections, so I wonder whether the pool hygiene is up to standard. (I have not had an ear infection since I was a child and I am now in my 60s.) The house is well laid out and the space is suitable for large groups, the beds were comfortable and the various fridges make it possible to self-cater even for large groups. Overall, a fantastic break, but at that price, the cleaning should be taken more seriously.

This was a fantastic property for our 3 generation family get together. The house was lovely and worked really well for what we needed. The kids loved the pool and the separate room with large screen was a fantastic place to play games after dinner and also watch the rugby.

The photos don’t really do this place justice. We were a party of 9 people ranging from 13 to 74 and there was something for everyone. Enough space for everyone to do what they wanted. The garden was great for walking the dog in the morning but there is also the canal footpath a couple of minutes away with great pubs on. The pool and cinema room was in constant use while we were there, fun was had by all!

Lovely house with great facilities. Pool and cinema room were brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Ivy house had everything for everyone in our party. Ages ranged from 11 to 65yrs and this beautiful house catered for us all. It was exactly what we were looking for to house such a big gathering. The pool was the perfect entertainment for the children and adults and the grounds are beautiful and secure enabling us to let the children (and dog) roam and explore safely. The cinema/party room was perfect for the actual birthday evening and the kitchen and dining room easily seated the 12 of us comfortably. Communication was quick and informative and there wasn’t anything we felt could have improved our stay. We will hopefully return again someday soon!

Managed to get the family together for a wedding and anniversary celebration. The Ivy was just the perfect house for us. Great outside space, great pool. It was a short but memorable stay. Recommend this for large groups.

Lovely property and grounds. Something for everyone to enjoy.

Selling point of this property is the swimming pool, gym and entertainment/bar area. It is not suitable for families with young children due to interior steps from kitchen with no hand rail. Also no contact number provided in case of problems.

What a great weekend. Loved the mix of the modern & classic rooms. Plenty of room and things to do for all ages and we were blessed with fabulous weather so we could make the most of the spacious outside spaces.

A lovely house with facilities to suit the wide range of family members. The children loved the pool and spent a great deal of time enjoying it. For the adults great places to sit and relax.

We had a fantastic stay at Ivy House. The pool and hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed and used by all. We was lucky enough to have beautiful weather during our so made use of the lovely gardens and even had a game of rounders (including the 70 year olds!) The kitchen family room was lovely and had everything you would need to cook and host a dinner party. After getting used to the oven and hob we successfully cooked a roast lamb for all 15 of us. Retiring after in the cinema room was a hit with the grandchildren. Our only negative feedback would be the Patio furniture especially the seat cushions were very tired. Overall it was fabulous and would love to return. Thank you for a memorable stay.

We were happy to get together for a 30th birthday and this house offered everything we could hope for. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and big enough to fit our small families in. The grounds were great fun for the children to run and play and the pool was a huge success due to nasty weather. We held our party in the big room with the projection screen and watched the Super Bowl later that night. We all agreed it would be even more fun in the summer. Can absolutely recommend Stephanie and this great property.

I was disappointed that the house wasn’t very clean, also not very warm the cinema area was absolutely freezing the snug , lounge & dining room was too cold to use 🙄also the pool lights didn’t work ? There was no trampoline in the garden as shown on the brochure,

We had a lovely time in a great house large enough to accommodate us all. The pool and cinema room were very popular with the whole group. The grounds were also lovely. Nice touch having the Christmas tree. The biggest problem was having to hire tables and chairs so that we could all eat together. It would make sense to install a large table in the family room rather than the sofas. Also some of the bedrooms were cold due to old windows even though the heating was very efficient

We enjoyed our stay at Ivy House, which has some unique features and plenty of communal space for a big group. The hot tub and pool worked really well. The ability to walk out onto the canal path and to the local pub were a bonus. The only niggle was the dining room which wasnt big enough (nor were there enough chairs) to seat all 17 of us.

What a wonderful week we all had at Ivy House. Great house and great location. Owner was really helpful when we had an issue with the heating and hot water, it was sorted straight away. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We stayed in this property late July and whilst the house and grounds were impressive (if left a little dirty), the difficult owners ruined the holiday. When we booked the holiday a hot tub was listed as one of the facilities available. Upon arriving we found the hot tub did not work and were casually told by the owner (via a text message) that it no longer worked due to the previous guests. Therefore it was only natural that I called in order to enquire for some compensation, when the owner changed her story and said the hot tub had not worked since January but that they kept it in the facilities as guests could still somewhat use it, which was bizarre. In the end, the owners provided us with a meagre compensation but then charged us a hefty cleaning fee for leaving 'outdoor chairs in the wrong positions' and 'leaving indoor cushions outdoors'. The owner also claimed we did not clean the house well enough as there were some stains in the microwave and wipe marks on the kitchen counter. This was utterly ludicrous as when you pay a substantial amount a night to stay somewhere you should not expect to scrub the place clean so it looks brand new when you leave. It should be expected that guests will not be able to clean every nook, cranny and appliance. Charging guests an extortionate cleaning fee, when the house has to be cleaned anyway due to covid protocols, is taking advantage of people. This was unfortunately not the end of our woes. The final straw was the owner charging us another fee for a supposed dent on the panel of her oven, which we did not notice. She did not even provide us with a receipt for repairs despite us asking for one, meaning we could not even claim insurance on the item. All in all, I would definitely avoid staying here. The owner has a mentality of trying to drain every last penny from her guests by charging them ridiculous costs. The property was not even cleaned properly when we arrived.

As a group of 20 celebrating a hen party, this accommodation is perfect! There is plenty of room for all to feel comfortable & there are plenty of facilities to make the stay alot more entertaining and fun! With the use of the cinema/bar room, indoor pool & sauna, outdoor hottub & the large outdoor grass area... it was perfect for our hen party antics over the course of our 3 night stay. We all had the most amazing time and would love to return.

Firstly it was great to find a house to accommodate us all, we are a family of 10 adults and 9 children, the house is amazing set in beautiful grounds with more than enough space for us all. The location is also great with lovely walks and easily accessible from major roads. The pool was just great the kids (big! and small) enjoyed it so much, it was a shame the hot tub wasn't bubbling, but we sat and relaxed and took in the views and surroundings. The lights in the house, even for the most techno amongst us were a challenge but very effective, may suggest a little more info on these. All in all we had a great time with everything we needed to make a fun weekend. Highly recommended.

Group of 20 friends and family had a great time making the most of all the facilities in the house. It was so good we didn’t leave the house our entire stay of three nights there. We had some minor issues with the hot water running out on the last night. As a suggestion it would be nice to have a dining table that could seat all 20 people. The dining table is currently set up to only seat 16.

There is no doubt that this is a stunning property. Every room has a different look and artefacts. There are some areas that need a little touch up decoration wise but hey, we have just come out of a pandemic when revenue dropped so much for hospitality that I am sure these issues will soon be addressed. There were a couple of issues, the temperature control of the shower in the main bathroom didn't work and nor did the shower in the pool area. The hot tub jets weren't all working or the jacuzzi in the swimming pool. I hasten to add that we chose not to report these issues as we were having such a fantastic time we really didn't want any maintenance people to call. The one query I contacted Stephanie with was dealt with promptly and that was just clarification on refuse. The pool area and the "cinema room" were our family's main gathering points but every room is stunning. There is everything you need and more in the beautiful kitchen. We are already talking about going back next year. It was like having a lovely hotel to ourselves.
