Leave ReviewAbsolutely loved it
By Lazarus on 08-Mar-2025The perfect place for a big family gathering. A beautiful modern house generously stocked with all facilities, a super pool and games room that kept all of us occupied and the kids absolutely loved it!
We enjoyed the whole experience
By Williams on 03-Mar-2025We enjoyed the whole experience. You could tell Tim and Kate have put a huge amount of time and thought into creating an amazing space to enjoy time with family and friends. All was perfect including responses to questions
Particularly enjoyed the spa facilities
By Rowe on 12-Apr-2025The hosts were most helpful, and were flexible with our arrival time due to my mother becoming unwell. For this most grateful. The property is finished to a high spec, and the layout enabled us as a family to enjoy our stay as a family unit. Particularly enjoyed the spa facilities.
Would definitely recommend
By Haddow on 09-May-2025The whole accommodation was perfect.The space in the dining area was great, and the pool and games room really made our weekend. We had beautiful weather, so we were able to use the outdoor space all weekend. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back
Just wonderful
By Harris on 23-May-2025This property and the owners are incredible. The property had everything you needed and more. We didn't go out the whole weekend as we just didn't need to. Kate helped me change a car tyre, which was taking time out of her Sunday, but she was so lovely we couldn't thank her enough. Anything we needed, they were keen to help where they could. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone as its just simply beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful weekend. Words really aren't enough to express how we felt as a group about the property and the owner,s honestly just wonderful.
Highly recommend
By Keyte on 06-Jun-2025Tim and Kate have designed and built a superb holiday home, every aspect of the place displays a good eye for quality, style and high levels of attention to detail. It has great facilities for family fun, irrespective of the English weather. We celebrated a 40th and a 70th with our family, and this was the perfect setting. We could not recommend this place highly enough.
