"We were a large group of 7 couples who have been holidaying together for about 9 years."
This is the best property we have stayed in so far. The communal space was generous enough to allow different interest groups to congregate in different rooms, tho we actually tended to all end up in the huge kitchen/dining/sitting room where we could enjoy the spectacular views.
It was really useful to have all rooms en-suite (downstairs bedroom not en-suite but bathroom just next door and away from everyone)
The house was decorated and furnished to a high standard and was extremely comfortable as well as being spacious. We felt like nothing had been overlooked.
Utility room was well equipped and spacious which enabled us to store all our groceries, as we take it in turns to cook we always have a lot of bags! There’s one tall fridge/freezer and one undercounter fridge, we could have done with a bit more fridge space for our group as we have lots of different dietary requirements so people bring their own food.
Two ovens were so useful, huge kitchen island made a great buffet/self serve station.
Need more tea towels!
The swimming pool, hot tub and games room were big bonuses and were used a lot.
Gardens were also really lovely, we really couldn’t fault anything.
Stuart, the owner, was so friendly and helpful he actually became one of the group! Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made our stay extra special.
We will definitely be back.

"We had a wonderful time at the Old Rectory."
Stuart was wonderful at helping us settled in and making sure we had everything we needed. The house is a great spce with something for everyone (we were aged 11-80) and plenty of space to congregate together or take time out. The only thing to be aware of is that you need a car and to be prepared to travel for days out, though there are plenty of places to visit within an hour of the house.

"Wow what a property!"
We had the most amazing time staying as a family of 15. Every little detail had been thought about and the house was immaculate, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Perfect if you have children with the pool, games room and cinema room. Stuart was a fantastic host and his piano skills are tremendous!! We will definitely be back to stay again.

"Everything at the house was delightful and so pleasing -
All the furnishings we’re stylish and high quality and the beds very comfortable
We had so much room and so many facilities to enjoy so the weather was unimportant."
We received a great welcome and prompt attention to our additional requests and especially, we did enjoy the impromptu piano concert!
Our only suggestions would be that there could be some larger serving dishes (cooking pans and dishes were plentiful) but as we were cooking for a large group and the house sleeps 16, they would be very useful
Altogether it was a privilege to stay in such a lovely house and setting

We loved it so much we hope to return next year and it's ideal for large families or groups of friends as there's plenty of room to spread out. Everything very comfortable and we had a wonderful game of hide and seek in all the various rooms this property has to offer. Can thoroughly recommend it.
