What Our Guests Say

Admired and Loved by Guests

Could have stayed for a week!

The kitchen was well appointed with lovely extra touches. A beautiful herb garden just out the backdoor. The fireplace was set, underfloor heating in the bathroom — the whole house was cozy and warm. Our group of 6 had a lovely homemade dinner together around the huge kitchen table.

Sheryl

Beautiful, comfortable and cosy

The little added touches with fresh food, complimentary G&Ts, etc., were so nice. Everything was clean, well-appointed, and beautifully presented.

Joanne

Nothing to fault

Beautifully appointed. Clean and comfortable. The bed linen was of the highest quality. Loved cooking in the kitchen and eating out in the garden.

Bruce

A magical historical stay

Such a shame we only booked for one night. The bathroom floor was heated, the tub was huge, and the house retained its heat so well with the fireplaces and heaters throughout.

Emma

We wished we could stay longer

What a beautiful place to make lasting memories! The fit out is exceptional — free gin and tonic, wines available, beautiful artwork and a deep welcoming bath. Everything looked better than in the photos. The fireplaces and heating were perfect.

Louise

Fabulous accommodation!

Brilliantly renovated and beautifully decorated. Warm, cosy, lots of terrific books to flick through while relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the fire. I would love to stay again. Wonderful!

Susan

We had the best time

We very much want to come back. Beautiful location. Lovely house — cosy, stylish, interesting, warm. Enough of everything: coffee pods, towels, cooking facilities. Can't fault it.

Marguerite

Spectacular — can't wait to return

Beautiful and historic but lovingly renovated. Well fitted out kitchen. So warm and cozy to eat dinner and play cards in front of the fire.

Eliza

Sympathetically restored

I liked the period history of the property and the tasteful decor. Sympathetically decorated but still with all the mod cons.

Neroli

A wonderful time

Absolutely beautiful house, we had a wonderful time there.

Edina

Spectacular

Very comfortable, beautifully appointed and we loved the warm fire on our cold weekend. It would be a lovely house to live in. Thanks so much for sharing.
