This is a superb house of immense dimensions. Each room is beautiful with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. The photos online do not do justice to the sheer size of the rooms.

The pictures do not do the house justice as it is much bigger, homely and has a lovely atmosphere. Perfect as a country house getaway, for a larger group. The house has everything you need and more. It really is like being in your own private hotel- minus the staff. Hannah was lovely, greeted us and came to say goodbye when we left. We had no issueRead mores during our stay everything was really well explained. Highly recommend Hide

Absolutely stunning house, beautifully furnished and an absolute treat to stay there. We took 3 teenagers and 9 under 6 year olds all of whom loved the house, playroom, gardens, woods, (tennis court great for remote controlled cars and toddler bike riding). For the adults it was the perfect home from home, comfortable but special and luxurious. We Read moreLOVED it!
